Nuxfanabroad Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Consider this an exercise in imagination, creativity & lawyerly-justification. Would happen at draft wknd. Trade our 1st (assuming it's a #2 OA pick), for just one player only(exclude: Crosby, OV, Laine, Matthews, Burns, Toews, Kane, Draisatl, McDavid, Karlsson & Malkin). A couple of these due to age/contract, but mostly unrealistic in any case. For example, I'd guess most all CDC posters would flip our 1st for Drai, but Edm simply wouldn't. So just 1 player. Consider their cap-hit & our needs. Please justify why the counterpart GM might go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I feel like I'd trade it for Panarin. Chicago might do it to dodge cap issues and one less guy to protect while gaining a cheap contributor in Hischier or Patrick who at this point are both still gambles.

Rick Blight Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Drouin. Tampa is up against the cap and has players to sign for next year, including Drouin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrissex95 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I wouldn't trade that pick, especially if there's a chance in acquriing Liljegren with it. Liljegren is a smooth-skating offensive defenseman with a lot of potential. We're keeping this pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 If we get a shot at Nico Hischier or Tim Liljegren then heck no. Scouting reports on both look pretty good, and management said they view the top 3 picks as separate from the rest of the pack. If we get a shot at the skilled Swiss center then we take him (iffy about Patrick). Look at how solid the future of the team could suddenly become with a #1 offensive center like him in the fold. At least by committee there's already a lot to like. ___ - Hischier - Boeser Sven - Horvat - ______ _____ - Gaudette - Lockwood?wild card: Virtanen Juolevi - ________ Tryamkin - Stecher McEneny/ Pedan - Subban?

Nuxfanabroad Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 ******Please be clear********** NOT advocating that we trade this pick. Simply want to get a cross-section of various fan's views; & encourage varied-insights in 1 thread,(on both, top prospects, & young league-talents, comparably), for the time being.

Me_ Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Shea Weber. Of course, that would make the Canucks a Cup contender, especially if they keep Miller. Now go get some pure scoring talent, regardless of their defensive finesse and splatter it all over the Burrows and Hansen vacancies. Bring up Boeser when the Canucks are in the playoffs after his brief AHL stint that might happen this year. All kidding aside... Imagine that: STETCHER - WEBER HUTTON - GUDBRANSON TRYAMKIN - JUOLEVI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 How many times does JB have to reiterate - he's building through the draft - keep all picks and acquire as many more as we can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely everyone knows that. The questions is simple: who is a player of equal value to Vancouver's 1st rounder (middle to low) that could contribute to the team considering position and cost?

48MPHSlapShot Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Why don't people understand that the OP isn't making an honest to God proposal. People take this too seriously. Anyways, my pick would be Sam Reinhart. Getting him would give us a nice 1-2 punch with him and Horvat duking it out for the no 1 center position, and since Buffalo has Eichel as a lock for the no 1 center position going forward, they might (though probably not) consider moving Reinhart and taking Liljegren with the pick to better fill out the rest of their roster going forward. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Something involving Drouin, Reinhart, Draisaitl, Domi or Keller would be fine by me. I'm pretty torn on Patrick, Hischier and Liljegren though. I've been pretty high on Liljegren for most of the year until recently. I'm not sure if he can be a #1, but if he becomes a offensive #2 then that is still a very good player. Patrick and Hischier both look like they could be low-end 1Cs or mid-level 2Cs. I think Patrick fits our style of play better, but his injury history scares me. Hischier could take a while to get settled in the league and probably and just seems generally more risky. Going back to the trade, I would love to get Keller out of Arizona. Maybe a bigger trade could work and we land Domi AND Keller: To ARI: 1st Overall Pick 2017 Tanev 2nd 2017 To VAN: Keller Domi I know it's unrealistic, but I absolutely love Keller. He is a dynamic and electric player. The Kane comparison is used a lot for smaller forwards that put up points, but Keller truly has an offensive game similar to Kane as a center. He could play behind Horvat here and feast on the lower matchup: Domi - Horvat - ______ Baertschi - Keller - Boeser Granlund - Gaudette - Virtanen ______ - Gaunce - Lockwood Juolevi - Gudbranson Tryamkin - Stetcher Hutton - Brisebois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 My pick would be to the Islanders with Hutton for their 1st this year Barzal and their 1st next year. That team is going to SUCK so hard next year it's a top 10 bet. So out of nowhere our 2nd overall as you stated becomes Barzal 2017 1st round pick 2018 top 10 pick As well as our 2017 top 10 pick (don't kid yourselves guys...it's gonna be top 10) That's a blue chip forward, a mid round pick this year and 2 lottery shots next year and boom our cupboards are stocked by the 2019 draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skolozsy2 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 All you have to do is calculate the odds of the other team being able to replace the player you're taking, with the pick you're offering. Simple as that. If it's Reinhart, Panarin, Barzal, whoever, etc..., then the other team better believe they can get a similar player in the draft. Otherwise, why get rid of the player in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the 2nd was mainly because Arizona really has no incentive to give up Keller. A deal involving Tanev and Keller would likely involve us adding a little. Then our 1st for Domi as well.

I don't know about that I think Tanev is worth a 1st and A prospect, the only way that 1st changes to a 2nd is if the player is a franchise type player Ok just had a look at Keller and if he was 6ft+ and 200lbs + then I would agree with you but I stand with what I think Tanev is worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Tanev is a great player, he doesn't put butts in seats the same way a scoring forwards does. This trade is very unrealistic anyways so it doesn't really matter.
