Thread: some more trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Here's the problem I see with all of the recent Thatcher-Demko-to-Los-Angeles trade ideas:

Demko was horrible this year, almost undoubtedly due to his injury. When he returns from rehabbing that injury, and plays the last third of the season, one of two things will happen:

1. Either he will display his earlier form, in which case why would Vancouver trade him; or
2. He will not show any improvement, in which case why would Los Angeles want him?

For sure, Los Angeles won't be doing this before the trade deadline, ergo, before the end of the season, because there won't be enough time to see how well Demko has recovered from his injury.</div></div>

If Demko returns to form and plays 2-3 months of really good hockey this year, I still think trading him would be good. Especially if a Demko trade involves getting a young RHD like Durzi. Demko will be useless to this team for the next 3 years as we "re-tool". In his prime form, at least he will benefit a playoff team on a decent contract. I would much rather have a good D group than an elite goalie. The canes are an amazing defensive team and currently winning while Rantta and Kochetkov have been in net and I wouldn't consider them close to elite goalies. Goalies can be picked up in FA, and we have Silovs developing in the minors too.

Thread: Canucks full rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Translation: “Nobody wants your bad contracts.”

Doesn’t make sense for anyone to take on the Miller deal without receiving a significant asset in return. Probably would need to take back a bad contract in that scenario too.</div></div>

He would be hard to move but he isn't even close to the level of negative value. He is still a good asset at 8 mill. I could see him moved to a contending team but its just that most teams are capped to the max right now. We would have to take back a decent sized contract in a hockey trade but there is no way you'd have to give up a pick or prospect to move him, if anything you would get a pick/prospect in return for Miller. He also has a full NMC for the first years of his new contract, that's why it will be near impossible to move him after this year.

im not sure if any of you noticed but Horvat is also in the deal... Hischier is an amazing 1C/2C but Horvat is also an extremely good and useful 2C, although 5 years older. Hughes is undoubtedly a top pairing top power play defenseman. NJ can easily re sign Horvat, and obviously keep Severson with Marino gone. Their d core would be Hughes-Hamilton, Siegenthaler-Severson, Luke Hughes-Nemec, the nastiest defence in the league. I think in terms of value this trade is decently fair. Obviously with their current winning situation this deal wouldn't happen but u cant deny having all three hughes brother on one team would be a spectacle to watch. Imagine watching the power play with Quinn, Luke and Jack

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OkMan</b></div><div>I don't think NYI spends much time saying no on that deal. Raty is someone I highly doubt that they'd move</div></div>

I actually think this deal is pretty clearly lopsided in NYs favour. Yes Miller has an 8x8 deal, but he would bring a lot of offence and grit to a team that should be in win now mode. I think this trade benefits both sides because for the 4-5 years that the Miller deal actually is worth the value, VAN is probably just gonna waste it by missing the playoffs and being mediocre. NYI has the potential to cash out with this trade by making the playoffs multiple years in a row. I think Raty is good but lets be honest he is nothing incredible with 0.5 ppg in the AHL, definitely a piece that could be moved. This trade is a risk for VAN but we need prospects and cap space.
