A team would ask for way more like a Gaunce or something which i would not do To get Nic Hague I would. He is exactly what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that he's gone, we should consider it as a required core piece for the future. I'd be shocked if Columbus doesn't hand over the 2nd round pick compensation to the Canucks this year. So with the assumption that they do, here's the proposal: Canucks trade the CLB 2nd Rounder + the VAN 2nd Rounder for a 1st round pick in the 15-25 range. That puts us in a position to draft Nic Hague. Nic Hague: - A 6'6" defenceman with a nasty streak - 18 goals and 46 points in 65 games in the regular season including a +/- of +22 - 10 points in 9 games in the playoffs - skates very well, hits very hard Yes, he can be a dirty player, but being a Mr. Nice Guy in the playoffs doesn't win Cups. So what's there not to like? If you wanted a young Pronger in the making, this guy is it. Great proposal. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second of all, it does happen that 1st round picks are traded for high 2nd round picks and additional picks or assets. It literally happened just 2 years ago... TWICE in the 1st round. Lightning traded their 1st to the Islanders for their 2nd and 3rd. Then the Leafs traded their 1st to the Bluejackets for their 2nd and 3rd as well. yes in good drafts they do,but this one is not one of those drafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that year the Stars traded their 1st for Islanders 2nd and 3rd. I hate to break it to you, but trades regarding a 1st for a 2nd plus additional pick(s) happen all the time.

cripplereh Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 LOL I agreed with they do and know they do but just do not see us doing it this year with our seconds and do not know if we will get one from columbus this year, we need youngsters more then a two for one at this point so not worth it for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Petit Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Let's assume CLB does give us the Torts pick this year. Would anyone consider combining our own high second round pick with the CLB pick to move up into 18-22 range of the first round? Or would we get more value in using both second round picks?

cripplereh Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 way more value useing the two seconds as ours will be a very high second,so to move up ten spots or so would not be worth both our picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I just had a dream where Benning traded Hutton+Markstrom+Virtanen+2nd round pick for the 3rd overall pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramussen is another guy to look at. We could use another PF and big center. The top end is light this year for 'generational' talent but solid for the first 20 guys. I can see most of them making the league and we could be looking back at this draft like 2003. Grab another pick or two in the first round.

So what's there not to like? If you wanted a young Pronger in the making, this guy is it. I like it. I would prefer to keep our 2nd (33rd). So, variation on a theme...CLB 2nd + Sbisa (if he isn't taken in the expansion draft) or Tanev + Subban. I also think we need guys in the back end to make it uncomfortable for forwards to park in front of the net, or skate in with their heads down, knowing that no one is going to hammer them and then hand them their head back on a platter. Guddy just didn't much of a chance to adjust to a change in scenery before he was injured and ultimately ineffective altogether, so we truly don't know what he is capable of. I don't think much of Subban's future here, hence the throw-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
