Thread: Early in the Season trade Frenzy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Chychrun is injured, that means nobody is trading for him right now. The other moves don't improve the team.</div></div>

I share your concern about Chychrun being injury prone, I wasnt suggesting this trade be made until he was cleared by medical staff.
I disagree that Soucy &amp; Geekie wouldn't make the team better. Yamo is doing sweet F all playing exclusively with McD or Drai. Geekie is a big body who is much more suited to play on the 3rd line and less of a cap hit. He can take faceoffs and he also kills penalties. I would do this trade with the plan to play PJ up in the top 6 for the remainder of the yr hoping to up his production and value for a potential trade in the offseason. If a true top 6 scoring RW cant be picked up via trade then they go after a big fish like Kane or Tarasenko in Free agency. Depending on how d prospects like Kesserling or Desharnais are developing, Soucy can walk as a UFA or resign if he will take a bit of a hometown discount. If he walks and Kess or Desh arent ready, shift Kulak to RD &amp; play Niemo full time with him... Chychrun could also shift to the right.... plenty of options.

Thread: Defence Retool with 23 Man Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Warpbox</b></div><div>(I know you said Canucks fans save your breather but whatever)

There is no world where that trade makes sense for Vancouver. There are a ton of reasons why

1. We are not trading the hometown kid we just signed

2. Schenn is not available for a trade unless Vancouver truly implodes in which case he’s available for picks and even that’s unlikely.

3. Barrie would be a garbage fit for Vancouver. He’s a PP specialist that wouldn’t get powerplay time

4. Canucks wouldn’t be cap compliant (I’m pretty sure)

5. Barrie would not be a fit with Hughes, if you think they could be see the Barrie to Toronto trade. I think Hughes is better defensively then Reilly then a lot however 2 offence first defenceman don’t work together. Especially with losing Schenn where the hole in Vancouvers D only widens</div></div>

I do think Barrie is more likely to end up in Montreal if traded, but i wanted to see how this would look cap wise, and especially since the Oilers need a right shot centre man even more so next yr when Ryan is off the books.

Thread: need to improve the defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>It doesnt make sense to trade for both soucy and chychrun. Chychrun would play the left side next to Bouchard.

Edmonton has got to find a way to trade for a dman without trading Broberg. He is the last D-man that could be a number 1 that Edmonton will have before rebuilding.</div></div>

I disagree. I think they should be using Broberg and a 1rst to trade for a legit top pairing dman at this point. Not saying Chychrun is the guy they should go after given his recent injuries. But I dont think they should be waiting around anymore HOPING Broberg turns into a top 4 dman. But say they do get Chych:
Nurse-Ceci
Chych-Bouch
Niemo-Kulak
Murray

Would that be significantly better than what they have now??
