Thread: (TOR/VAN) - Lafferty for 2024 5th (VAN)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rollie1967</b></div><div>Why? How is he any better now or have more upside than Studnicka- whom they had to put on waivers? I know the 5th isnt much...but this is just another body they didnt need. Studnicka and Aman have both looked good in preseason, I dont see how the addition of Lafferty is going to help the Nucks at all. Its one thing if they have a bunch of injuries....but outside of Mikheyev unknown status... theyre fine. They already sent down Dries...how is Lafferty any better? Canucks management of assets continues to be horrible.</div></div>

He's a right handed C and they don't have one.

Thread: playoffs for Petey

C'mon man now I'm bummed all over again. Petey didn't have to die like that. But come to think about it he did get $25 for a headless Petey so he went to a good cause and I do like tortilla chips. Geez I wonder what we could get for a headless Miller light?

Thread: bench Miller or send him down if you cant trade him

You must be watching the Habs game. Same with Stillman. Sorry to say the kid is lost out there.

Ironically I had both of them in separate trades for Miller but changed and took the prospect. Thanks for the feedback.

Be nice to see a back line of Luke and Quinn. I think they would too.

Thread: VanCity

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logan_Ollivier</b></div><div>Myers is not tradeable. I doubt he moves easily at half his salary.</div></div>

I respectfully disagree. I think if you can trade guys like Loui Eriksson at $6 Mil you can trade anyone but you would have to find a team willing to do it. Myers has had a decent season, but not a $6 mil. season so if you retain salary and or lower expectations on what you want back in return it can be done. To your point though I don't think Dallas would do it, unless they lost Klingberg and you retained say $1.5-$2 Mil. then perhaps they would, but who knows?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Nyr say super yes. That is a terrible trade for van</div></div>

Why would that be a terrible trade? They shed $1.1 mil. off their cap, get younger by 4 yrs, get a RH shot and Deangelo had 53 pts in 2020. He's in the doghouse for what he has said and on the taxi squad with 6 played games all year. Plus Van gets a 4rd pick. Works both ways.

So Van gets Dunn for a 2nd. Then St Louis get their 2nd round pick back and not lose Dunn to Seattle.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ScottRoth</b></div><div>id rather pay 6 million for a backup goalie than 6.9 (nice) for a healthy scratch forward. both being bought out seems more likely.</div></div>

In actual money being paid out Eriksson is owed $13 Mil. for 3 yrs where as Cory is $18 over the last 3 so it wouldn't make sense for Van to do that even with Devils retaining salary.

I would rather they miss the playoffs so as to protect that 1st round pick in 2020 and get a good prospect.

Thread: Puck Luck

The CBJ deal would give them a 3rd line and dump some money. Signing Mason would give them a vet. backup and if you look at Mason's record he's really only had 1 bad season. About Puljujarvi, he was pissed he didn't get a legit look with the lackluster Oil so I think I'd want out as well. Baertschi is a wildcard. He's a decent player who if he can play without symptoms he'll be a good 3rd line winger. If he can't then he will prob. retire. The Sutter deal is a salary dump for Van. Getting anything for him would suffice doesn't necessary have to be Greenway.
I would even think about sending Boeser back home to Minny for a '20 1st and Zucker if he waves his m-ntc. If we didn't make the playoffs it would give us two 1st in a good draft. If we did make the playoffs we would still have a 1st rd pick.

Thread: Picky picky picky

I agree with you. I would have traded him to the Hurricanes for picks and or minor players like Jake Bean or Morgan Geekie earlier and signed a cheaper UFA option i.e. McElhinney for less than 1.5 mil to mentor. They could have had Collin Miller from Vegas for two picks, (2021, 2022) 2 mil less and 3 yrs younger than Myers at 6 mil. and target Sam Bennett (Calgary) on a offer sheet for say around 3 mil. instead of signing Ferland. But I guess this is all speculation and easy to say isn't it, but it would have been worth a try.
