Mr. Puckluck Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 How will the dealing look this year? With the Canucks close to the cap and other teams in the same boat it may be difficult to get rid of the old and bring in the youth. I understand that people may want to trade Prust, Burrows, Verbata and others but this may not be possible. I feel this year will be the same as any other year: minor trade to even the books. I hope I am wrong and we make a responsible splash ( or a smooth dive) however you want to see it...anyways, I hope that we make trades that support the future of our franchise. I feel a shinkaruk move may be possible for a defence man who is of a similar level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Etem Vey Shinkaruk the medicine hat connection gets er done Willie would be shattered if Jim traded Shinkaruk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Vrbata has some decent trade value so I could see him getting us a good to great return if we're willing to eat a bit of his salary. We might be hooped on the other guys though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boddy604 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Vrbata and Hamhuis probably stay for a playoff push. It'll take a big offer for Benning to risk coming under fire by Aquilini. Prust is gone though I'm sure. After all these reports today, they may even Higgins him and send him to Utica. One of Weber or Bartkowski will NEED to be moved before Hamhuis returns, Willie has already gone on record saying Biega isn't losing his spot in the lineup. So probably nothing huge. But when free agency opens, we're going to be very active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 My prediction is yet again they get corralled into another kick at the can,but I hold faint hope someone up top will pull the plug on this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Torts Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Wtf is up with everyone wanting to trade Shinkaruk? You do understand we will get burned. Shinkaruk will be an NHL all-star. The only reason he isn't here is because Vrbata is. When Vrbata gets moved, he will slot into our top 6 right away. Unlike McCann and Virtanen, Shinkaruk has been developing in a top 6 role and producing at a PPG. He's only 21. Don't write him off yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Hank's decision to play while injured for so long strongly implies that the team wants to push for the playoffs. Otherwise, there'd be no reason for him to play so long while on the mend.

I agree that we SHOULD get what we can for guys we're likely going to let walk anyways. But if Aquilini wants playoff revenue, it's probably safer to keep Vrbata in that situation as far as Benning is concerned. He's still gotta make his boss happy. I hope we deal every expiring contract that isn't named Baertschi, Etem, or Biega. Maybe keep Vey for depth. But dump the rest for whatever we can get. Definitely the best choice for the team long term. It comes down to how comfortable Benning is with chancing the remainder of the season with Virtanen or Dorsett as a full time top 6.

If Baertschi gets resigned and Canucks land Lucic in free agency then Shinkaruk may be expendable for a good return cuz with Sedin, Lucic, Baertschi on left, he's realistically literally years away from ever making the roster. Gaunce with his 2 way play would be a better 4th liner than Shinkaruk. Barring that situation though, absolutely keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
