Desmith has .914 career save % he isn’t some chump there’s value here Canucks couldn’t run it back with Martin and expect him play 25 games -

Raymond, Ballard and a 2nd

To Car: beau, Myers, podz, 1st pick 2024 (unprotected) to van: Pesce, teravainen money is about the same, and ONLY trading a first if we are on the cusp of the playoffs sign Pesce to a 6.5m/7yr deal…he’ll be looking at severson/graves type money then sign bear to a 1yr/1m in Dec Kuzmenko-pettersson-mikheyev teravainen-Miller-boeser pearson-suter-garland joshua-blueger-hoglander hughes-Pesce soucy-hronek cole-bear demko

In any Pesce trade I’d expect Carolina to want to immediate help with scoring beau, hoglander or podz, 1st pick 2024 (unprotected) only moving that pick if we are going for the playoffs so making it unprotected doesn’t matter as it’ll fall around the 18th pick

https://www.sportsnet.ca/podcasts/32-thoughts/ start at 14:00 Essentially Pesce was given permission to talk to two other teams recently about an extension but couldn’t come to terms. Carolina may keep him for the time being, but after this season it looks like he’ll be moving on…at least at this point
-
The number 1 need for this team is finding a top 4 d-man to be a long term partner for hughes Pesce is the guy we all hope for and I don’t know if CAR has the money to keep him around but he is American and may not be so keen on paying those Vancouver/Canadian taxes hughes-pesce soucy-hronek hirose-cole brisebois-irwin now that’s a blueline that can compete against any team in the show

[Report] Canucks name Quinn Hughes as captain
billabong replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Great move don’t let this fester with the Vancouver media, just name your guy and get to work. petey and Miller will be A’s I assume secondly, I don’t think petey has the right personality to deal with the demands of being a captain and Miller is just TOO honest sometimes to be in that role every day thus hughes is the right call- 600 replies

[Rumour] Van & Columbus trade rumor
billabong replied to 5nothincanucksohno's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If the Canucks could pull something like that off our blueline would be completely remodeled in a few months time hughes-peeke cole-hronek soucy-Myers irwin-juulsen peeke has holes in his game just like everyone other dman who’s ever played the game but I truly believe hughes could elevate his game…look how good he made juulsen look -

Great deal both sides Gotta think this deal is going to get brought up once or twice in the petey negotiations -
[Signing] Canucks re-sign Nils Hoglander to 2 year $1.1M
billabong replied to Odd.'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I was hoping for under 1m but 1.1m is still a great deal his cap hit can still be buried if he doesn’t take the next step -
[Speculation] Canucks exploring Tyler Myers trade

I’d take that with the smallest grain of salt possible -
[Speculation] Canucks exploring Tyler Myers trade
billabong replied to brian42's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I ASSUME this includes a 6.5m/8yr extension for pesce and this would free up around 6.5m in cap space for the 23-24 season to make another move… -
[Signing] Canucks re-sign Akito Hirose
billabong replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Tidy little piece of business getting him on a 2 year deal Spending some time in Abby will make him a better player in the long term Playing the slow game with young players is always the best way to go
