Thread: Never going to happen but
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vancity2196</b></div><div>Canucks decline.
Kuzmenko is not going anywhere because he didn’t ask for a trade, and he deserves another chance with this team.
Trading a first round pick and couple of prospect players is not good if you’re a Canuck GM.
Brady Tkachuk doesn’t deserve to be a Canuck, and Ottawa should keep him long term.
I can see the second trade happen.</div></div>

Kuzmenko is great but he can't contribute in the same way Brady can.
I think we have at most a 3 year window including this year and IMO this trade puts us over the top in a way few others could. I'm not sure what you mean about Brady not deserving to be a Canuck but while he isn't an offensive force he is probably the most physically dominant player in th NHL and could score 35 playing with Petey while creating a ton of space.

As an incredibly rare player in his prime the cost would be huge despite not being a high end offensive player.

Thread: Reward the players
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>Why would the Flames pay to move Coleman?? If Myers and Beauvillier are 2nd round picks in your mind, Calgary would significantly prefer the picks. The Flames aren't adding a good piece of their bottom 6 to a deal with Tanev to diminish Tanev's value, that's just not the way that works.</div></div>

They would move him because it sounds like they want to retool and his contract is likely the hardest to move outside of Huberdeau.
I don't think Beauvillier and Myers recoup a 2nd each but do think between them, they would replace or improve upon the 2nd round pick.

I like Tanev but he's still one shot block away from being on LTIR and being worth nothing when TDL comes around and his value is at its highest. I'm sure he could fetch a late first especially if retained at TDL but it is a risk and IMO getting rid of Coleman's contract is going to cost a lot more than a late first.

I don't expect flames fans to get on board and I definitely get that my reasoning isn't what we usually see in these AGMs but appreciate the comment.

Thread: Desperation play
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>It's called context.

Any player on the verge of free agency is a capdump for a rebuilding team like Montreal. Even more for a small winger which they have plenty of.

Anderson is worth a 1st+ because many contenders would overpay for a rare power foward, thus why Lebrun and Dreger reported last season more than 10 teams were interested in him and Hughes rejected a 1st already.

"The more you know" 🌈</div></div>

If Hughes could get another first + in one of the deepest drafts and didn't, he's more out of touch than you. Regardless of if he likes Anderson or not.

Anderson is universally regarded as a player on a bad contract, I'll take the majority on this one over a GM who is likely trying to use the media to help his negotiating position (what all smart GM's do).
