Klingberg is garbage. You are comparing someone that has worst defense than Tyson Barrie with Hronek who was one of the best defensive D man on Detroit last season with offense to boot?? Might as well compare Pietrangelo to Klingberg and call them the same. They aren't and we paid a fair price to get Hronek, a dman that is pretty rare to get in today's NHL.

[Proposal] Take this defence to the next level
DefCon1 replied to DownUndaCanuck's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
This is why we need 2 more guys and Myers gone. Myers is more of a 7th dman nowadays and he really is terrible most nights. Tanev and a big trade for Pesce would be best for both long term and short term. Even after Tanev and Cole are gone after short term deals, we would still have Hronek, Hughes, Peace, Soucy on long term deals and possibility of Willander joining in a couple of years on an ELC contract paired with either Hirose or Rathbone. -
[Proposal] Take this defence to the next level
DefCon1 replied to DownUndaCanuck's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
That statement is only true if we get rid of Myers and get Tanev in a trade for Calgary. Hughes-Tanev Cole-Pesce Soucy-Hronek Hirose, Bear, Wolanin, Irwin Now that's a bullet proof D 6 top 4 NHL defenders with 4 NHL caliber defenders as depth. Cole, Pesce, Soucy can hit and bring size, Tanev is elite in defense and Hronek and Hughes provide world class offense. Hirose and Bear provide more offense and good two way D. Demko and Silovs provide the goaltending that every team wants. -
[PROPOSAL] Conor Garland to Calgary Flames
DefCon1 replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Trade both Boeser and Garland to Calgary for Hanifin and Tanev and then we are done Hanifin-Hronek Hughes-Tanev Soucy-Cole Myers, Bear, Hirose, Wolanin, poolman Now that's contending level D with lots of depth. 6 NHL dman to go with 5 NHL level depth dman. We can trade either Bear or Myers for some wingers. Forwards would still be: Kuzmenko-Pettersson-Beau Pearson-Miller-Mikheyev Podkolzin-Dries-PDG Joshua-Aman-Blueger Not a bad forward group to go with that defense and Canucks would give up a lot less goals with better defensive forwards in Mikheyev, Blueger, Beau, Aman etc. -
[PROPOSAL] Conor Garland to Calgary Flames
DefCon1 replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
That was due to Canucks needing cap desperately before July 1. You are crazy if you think Garland at 4.95 mil still needs a sweetner added in order to be traded. Canucks won't budge -
[Proposal] sign Yamamoto and Zadina to 1 year 1 mil deals
DefCon1 replied to DefCon1's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Oh I see, we are too late on that -
[Proposal] sign Yamamoto and Zadina to 1 year 1 mil deals
DefCon1 replied to DefCon1's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Isn't Yamamoto just bought out by Detroit and Zadina co tract will be terminated soon by the Wings?? -
[PROPOSAL] Conor Garland to Calgary Flames
DefCon1 replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
That's actually a pretty solid D group even with Myers on the 3rd pairing. Would make us a playoff team for sure -
I think Canucks should trade either Boeser or Garland, gain cap space and sign Yamamoto and Zadina to cheap 1 year deals at 1 mil per year. This would give time for prospects like Hoglander, Podkolzin and Likker to develop in AHL. Kuzmenko-Pettersson-Beauvillier Garland-Miller-Mikheyev Zadina-Blueger-Yamamoto Joshua-Aman-Nielsen Zadina and Yams could be great as 3rd line scorers, while Boeser gets traded to make cap space

Atleast it's better than Marcel Marcel drafted by Chicago
-
Both Bedard and Macklin will come to Vancouver once their contract is up
-
So we are done in the draft this year
-
Flames drafted Yegor Yegorov lol
-
Drafted 4 D's this year is great Willander Hunter Mynio Celebrini
-
Love this pick for Canucks, Aiden Celebrini
-
He seems underrated but he has good potential. Could be a sleeper pick

No love for my boy Mynio??

Benning was actually good at drafting with Judd when he was here. We got Pettersson, Hughes, McCann, Boeser, Hoglander, Podkolzin, Forsling, Demko etc. I don't know the performance of new management in drafting but we will see in a few years
-
I am generally happy with 1st and 2nd round and 3rd round was ok too with Mynio and 6'6 Victor. Those top 3 rounds generally produce NHLers so I guess it's not too bad if 4th round was questionable. As long as our 1st 3 rounds was good, we should be fine.
-
Yeah not sure about our draft performance. This was the area usually where Benning shines while laying turds in other areas lol. So maybe we got weaker at drafting now
