Thread: Retool continued while trying to remain somewhat competitive
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MT9</b></div><div>Cope a little harder? Lmao! We would be giving up the two best players in the deal. No doubt in my mind. When Tyler Myers coughs one up at the wrong time in the playoffs and the Canucks are out (like he has done his entire career) come back and see me. I wouldnt mind having Willander as a future partner for Lindstein who is played with at the WJC but I wont lose an ounce of sleep over it. There are other players out there. He may or may not pan out and I suppose if they really wanted Willander that much they would have just drafted him but instead they picked him Dvorsky with the 10th pick last year.

By the way you ought to think about selling the future. You've never won jack and you got the team this year. No guarantee your team even plays well next year or the year after and you are in a division where the VGK will do everything they can to win and you play against the best player on the planet. When you have the team go for it. Your window can close real freakin quick.</div></div>

So if say next year we regress like you say, why on earth woudl we trade one of our best propesct for an average defensemen making 6.5 mil for the next few years. Buchnevich makes sense for the Canucks but Faulk and downgrading Garland to kapanen makes zero sense when Garland has been great this year, as for Willander hes not on the table at all, you wouldnt trade Dvorksy and we wont trade Willander. Give your head a shake bud

Garland is without a doubt the second best player in the deal. Faulk hasn’t been very good this season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MT9</b></div><div>You guys know you are right there to win a cup. Tom Willander looks to be a good prospect but its a longshot he is even as good or has as good a career as someone like Faulk.
Thought you wanted to get out of the Garland contract and Kuzmenko doesnt fit. Before the season you guys wanted to do anything you could to get rid of Meyers.

Buchy is a huge upgrade in your top six and Faulk is a huge upgrade over someone like Meyers. Neither are UFAs. Tom Willander is hardly a massive price to pay for these upgrades. Once you put a name to some of these 1st round picks they really do become untouchable to fanbases.</div></div>

Willander was drafted to be Hughes long term defensive partner. Garland has been one of our best forwards this season, he’s not being moved. He’s been crucial to our 3rd lines success as one of the best lines in the league. Kuzmenko can be moved in the right deal. Myers has actually been okay this season, and his expiring cap hit makes him manageable

Faulk hasn’t been that good this year, and his long term contract will make it more difficult to sign Pettersson and Hronek this offseason as well as Boeser next offseason. Not very interested in him. Kapanen is also a big downgrade on Garland

Buch is great and I’d definitely be interested in him, but Willander is not available for him. Neither is Lekkerimaki, but all other prospects would be
