mpt Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 We have no "top" prospects. Its that simple. Schroeder IMO would be the easiest for me to trade. I wouldn't lose any sleep if they were to pull the trigger. Jensen, Lack, Gaunce, Kassian, maybe even Corrado would be the only prospects I'd think twice about trading. I still think Luongo and Schroeder for Versteeg and Bjugstad would be a very good trade for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridehard1212 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 so you would trade our youth for perry because its the right deal how old is perry I am sure jensen has alot more upside and perry is just getting older how does that benefit us. I would rather have young stronger players the a guy aging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombieksa Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Jensen and Gaunce are our true "top prospects" Jensen played fantastic in the SEL amongst men and is pretty much a lock to make the team. Gaunce is looking more and more like he got drafted later than he should have.(cant believe we got him at 26th, wasn't he ranked like 15th?) Franchises need young guys coming up, we cant just rely on trades. Lack is our only goalie prospect that looks to make the NHL, Cannata is good, but I think his ceiling is more AHL starter. who knows. The reason I say Corrado should not be traded is for 2 reasons: 1. How much he improved in one year. Every draft has a few steals that turn into studs. Look at half of the wings stars. BMac loves him, he should have made team canada. He looks like he could be our future franchise D. 2. Even if he doesn't become an all-star he is right handed. I don't know the exact number but the ratio in the NHL is something like 1 in 5 defense men are right-handed. If he was a lefty I would say trade him for a big return but he is not. He makes Connauton, Sauve, McEneny(who may be a steal) expendable. Although a lot of our prospects may be unappealing to other franchises I think Schroeder and Connauton could be packaged for something nice. We may have a pretty empty cupboard but a few other franchises are downright bare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Cathode Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Not Jensen, Schroeder, Gaunce, Corrado, Connauton or Lack. Anyone else if they can get us someone who can help us win now Im all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Cathode Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 ^I was thinking how we could really use Patrick White right about now. Wouldn't trade barring overpayment: Jensen, Corrado Willing to trade: everyone else Seriously, people need to stop getting married to their prospects. It ain't healthy. Some people keep dreaming they'll blossom into the next star...haha dream on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeywoot Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 "people need to stop getting married to their prospects. It ain't healthy. Some people keep dreaming they'll blossom into the next star" The reason we have so little in our system is because we followed your rule in the past. When we didn't follow your rule we produced Kesler, Burrows, Edler, Bieksa, Hansen, Schneider, the Sedins, and Raymond. Did I just describe the core of our team, oh jeez, of course, we could have had Hodgson and Grabner and whatever else the 3 firsts, five seconds, five thirds and five fourths would have brought us instead of the dreck we got for those picks since 2006.

canucklehead44 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 We need all of them. Anybody outside of Gaunce/Jensen/Corrado would have almost zero trade value anyway. Even Schroeder would probably fetch only a 5th round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck or Die Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 None. We need to start thinking of the future and preparing guys like Gaunce, Jensen, and Shroeder, and whoever we get in this year's draft to take over for guys like Kesler and the Sedins.

WestCoastCanucks Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 No one is really untouchable. For the right package anyone can be traded. But the ones teams would have to overpay for are Corrado and Jensen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JelloIce Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yea lets get rid of our already thin prospect pool for some aging mid tier veteran whom AV can play favorites with. Yea great idea!!! I got a better idea, how about we get rid of our so called coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I could be persuaded to part with Kellan Tochkin for the right package of players and draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day one Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Quite obvious this Canuck team needs a shakeup and that a piece is missing in our lineup. It's also quite obvious that there is no goalie market out for Schneids or Lu. Our other trade-able assets wont fetch us enough, guys like Booth, Ballard, Raymond. Having said that, we have some prospects that could garner some interest. Obviously the higher the prospect , the better the return What is your level of comfort in trading the future for the present. Who on this list can you trade. Cup now, re-fill the cupboard later is my stance! If any of these guys can get us that bonofide sniper and secondary scorer we desperately need then im willing to trade him, even if its Jensen. Look at teams like the Oilers and Jackets who have been getting 1st over picks, they are nowhere near the cup. You want a cupboard full of top prospects or a cupboard full of Stanley Cups?? Dont be shocked if Gillis moves the top guys on this list at the deadline.

Plaguez Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Depends on what they are being traded for. If we are talking the top 6 sniper we have always wanted of a super stud dman like weber, trade em all. If we are talking another borderline, lightning in a bottle, hope he can find his scoring touch here (yes, I'm looking at you Booth) then no thanks.

ccc44 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 My response hasn't changed from when this was brought up a few days ago. Trading prospects is not the solution to the current problem. They will not bring a major impact player in return, and they won't help a coach who's lost the room. So, let's not race off and mortgage the future without at least attempting to address the real problem first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
