Why Trade up to 1st overall when 2nd overall is what we need?(discussion)


Recommended Posts

I've been hearing lot's of people talk about trading up to 1st overall, however, if the Canucks are targeting Reinhart then they need Buffalo's pick, 2nd overall. Ekblad goes 1st, that you can take to the bank. No way does Florida take Reinhart.

So I propose we make a deal with Buffalo and it would have to be something like this;

to Buffalo:

Garrison, Jensen or Schroeder and the 6th overall-2014

to Vancouver:

2nd overall-2014

We select Reinhart and he might push for a spot this year?

The other discussion were hearing is the fate of Kesler, count on him being dealt prior to the draft. I originally felt that Anaheim will not provide the pieces that the Canucks want. Will Anaheim make Lindholm available? He's only played one season he has lots to prove to be considered an elite defenceman and speaking of proving something so does Etem. The Canucks would need:

to Anaheim:

Kesler, Weber

to Vancouver:

Lindholm, Etem and 10th overall-2014

We select Jake Virtanen and he takes 1-2 years before he's ready. Etem cracks the lineup and at 6'1"-207 lbs he plays the LW centered by Matthais and Burrows.

The Canucks have to sign to Wingers and I suggest they throw the bank at Michalek and Callahan. 5.25mil/year, for 3 years for Michalek and 6mil/year for 4 years at Callahan.We also attempt to sign Ryan Miller as Lakk needs to be back up a couple more years before he's completely ready.

The Canucks have one more trade and that's Higgins, no one love Higgins more then AV. So Ranger bound will be Higgy.

to New York:

Higgins, 35th overall-2014

to Vancouver:

Brassard

New York does this because Higgins is the perfect winger for any team, he can do it all plus he gets at least 50 pts on that club and New York's first pick is 59th overall.

Canucks already have some grade A prospects but boy did it ever get a whole lot brighter for the next few years...

Biggest reason being that Tim Murray said last week that he wasn't looking to trade the second overall pick.

He's saying that, but if a team offers something he needs and can still pick up a great young player in the 6 hole why wouldn't he swing a deal. GM's say things all the time for different reasons...

Because he doubled down with that statement by also saying that he wants another 2014 first rounder to add to the 2nd overall pick.

He's nuts, weak draft year and what's he going to trade to get that first rounder- Hodgeson...

Why do we have a 4.5 M 4th line winger(Question mark) (question mark isn't working)

Take out michalek and put burrows there

Edit:

Also Schroeder dosen`t have enough value for that trade to work, underpayment by t

Michalek>Burrows

Myers and/or Ehrhoff along with a choice of a whole bunch of draft picks that he has for this year and next. He has a rather strong hand in getting a pick from Florida or Edmonton if they are sellers.

Uh, Schroeder alone isn't going to cut it. Even if u threw in Garrison or Jensen, Buffalo doesn't want to move the pick.

Lindholm is pretty untouchable at this point

With Richards out the door, Brassard slots in as their #2 center and is a prefect fit for them seeing as he is young and can still improve. Might be close to fair value, but not sure NYR trade him. Also, they've got loads of wingers anyway (Nash, Hagelin, Zuc, Kreider, etc).
