Thread: Cup Contender

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cshores</b></div><div>Stop trading VAN draft picks tough it out</div></div>

People should stop treating draft picks like gold .They are ALWAYS a gamble. Most draft picks NEVER play in the NHL. 20 % of 1st round picks, 55% of 2nd round picks and 70% of 3rd rounders don't make it. More than 90% of 4th round or later picks don't make it. One only has to look at Vegas to see that a team can built without picks. It is almost always worthwhile to trade an unknown for a known quantity. Most prospects have only a slightly higher value than a pick.
FEAR OF MISSING OUT CAN NOT ALWAYS BE A BUSINESS STRATEGY.
Cap space is more valuable than picks for the Canucks right now. If Vancouver makes a trade to clear cap space and if that includes a pick, so be it.

Canucks are already over the cap so why would they take on an EXTRA $2.75M ?

Don't be silly, Any GM would trade any player if it makes sense.

Thread: a package for Pierre

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigShoots</b></div><div>Roussel is actually good. And tbh I think could play up to a 3 million dollar contract. He happened to be coming back from major injury last season so look a bit off but his first season he looked great and is an perfect role player. Taking 4 mil back on a player we already know is absolutely terrible, plus giving up 3 picks is just silliness. Benning would be fired by mid season.</div></div>

He might be anyway, LOL So we're put up with a "bad" $6M player for 2 years instead ?? Roussel is a role player that can be/ has been replaced by Motte or MacEwen. IMO Gudbranson would be an overpaid 6/7th Dman depending on how the rookies work out. Benning absolutely has to get rid of Eriksson AND one of Baertschi, Sutter or Roussel.
CAP SPACE IS VITAL!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigShoots</b></div><div>I think we've established Gudbranson is an awful player in this market.</div></div>

It's not about getting Guddy back. It's about getting rid of Loui and Rous and finding a willing trade partner. I thought about Anisimov but figured we need Dmen and muscle more than skilled forwards right now. Dumping two 2 year contract while putting up with Gudbranson for 1 year seems bearable to me. This team probably can't be a contender for 2-3 years anyway.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzad96</b></div><div>If the Marleau trade was any gauge, it'll cost a first to shed Eriksson.</div></div>

If that's what it takes... then that's what it takes. If Miller was worth a first, a third and an AHL goalie then shedding $6M to sign a good/decent player (with the potential to become better) is worth a first. Make no mistake, I like Miller.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>theleano1</b></div><div>Canucks decline</div></div>

Why? While Carrick is far from an NHL star he has played over 200 NHL games for 4 different teams. Rathbone is an unknown quantity as is a 2nd round pick. Getting rid of the 2 year anchor that is Eriksson's contract while paying $1.5M for a fringe player for 1 year seems worth it to me.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Yeah Detroit's in no position to trade away one of their few LDs in Danny DeKeyser. And i seriously doubt that he'd waive his full NTC for Vancouver anyways. LD is one of our biggest weakness and we're not moving it for those pieces.</div></div>

Fine, I'd throw in Joulevi. Taking DeKeyser means that the Wings only eat $1M of Eriksson's cap hit, making it easier to sign Virtanen and the addition of Juolevi.

Thread: add a little size and moving Quinn

Hughes has been taking pounding on D and has cost the team goals, but is still a very highly skilled player. Hoping he takes less pounding on the wing, for sure his minutes will be reduced. Next year he should be stronger and be better able to withstand the pounding. Just look at Stetcher's improved physical play.
Roussel's agitating has not been a positive factor for the team, so let him sit. I like Sutter and Gaudette but they can't stand up to Reaves, Tuch or Pacioretty. Perhaps Bailey (6'4" and 214) and Graovac (6'5" and 208) can. And Shotgun Jake (6'1" and 226) ,who should be standing up for Hughes, is nearly invisible on the physical aspect of the game. I just wish he played as hard as Motte.

An "A" prospect plus 2 "B" prospects and a 1st round pick for a player Boston can't afford to resign isn't enough?

I think the Canucks would have to seriously consider this trade offer. Two quality players and a 2nd would deserve a very close look.

Perhaps 3rd or 5th overall pick might work.
