Thread: Some different ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>thebiggere</b></div><div>What's the fascination with Byram? Last thing the Canucks need is to trade away their top scorer, with 1 year of term left and take back a player that may be one (or even less) hits away from retirement. The last thing the Canucks should be doing is trading certainty for risk, unless there's a ton of other potential upside to balance that risk.

Plus, you trade Miller to a western conference team and you only make it tougher next year, unless you're doing something that weakens the Avs more than it weakens the Canucks.

Whether Colorado would ever accept a deal like this isn't important, there's no way the Canucks should be going down a path like this one.</div></div>

It's been rumoured recently that the Canucks have interest in Byram. Definitely some risk there but huge reward if he's able to get back to full health.

Regarding trading Miller in conference, I'm not worried about that if I'm the Canucks. Trade him to whoever gets you the best package. Canucks aren't in the same stratosphere as Colorado next year so doesn't really matter IMO.

Thread: Canucks after TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>telmax</b></div><div>Lundkvist is the perfect buy low candidate right now for the Canucks.

We are forgetting how amazing of a prospect Lundkvist is. NYR's transition to a more gritty system does not match him at all. Plus they have a log jam at RD and cannot afford to play an defenseman who leans offensively with Fox and Trouba already in the lineup.

Him in Vancouver is exactly what they'd need and he fits what Boudreau wants. Give Lundkvist top for minutes with Hughes or OEL and you will see the dynamic puck carrying defender that the Rangers are mishandling .</div></div>

Mishandling or not we don’t need more offense from the back end. Especially on the right side as you mention. Schneider fits far better IMO for us. If he wasn’t offered before for Eichel, he won’t be for Miller. And if that’s the requirement, we’d explore other options.
