EagleShield Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 It's definitely not Pouliot coming out when Gudbranson is healthy. As I see it, it's between Gudbranson and Stecher for the 6th D spot, and I'd be tending towards the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wether you are in the trade gudbranson or sign gudbranson crowd one thing is for sure... it helps nothing having gudbranson out of the lineup. It's a double edged sword. Being a healthy scratch would hurt his trade value and won't help contract negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think they should play with those on. I have a feeling they are going to rue the day, they traded Pouliot for Pedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I see it, it's between Gudbranson and Stecher for the 6th D spot, and I'd be tending towards the latter. Hutton or Stecher - and Stecher is the better fit being a RHD - and he's been better than Hutton - and far more decisive. Edler MDZ Pouliot Hutton imo that is the left side depth chart. Pouliot has clearly been outperforming Hutton - and his recent minutes reflect that. Tanev Gudbranson Stecher Biega. People that believe Gudbranson is going to sit - I don't think they understand this team, or this blueline - or his value - at all. And not only that, but it would make absolutely no sense from an 'asset management' standpoint either - although that doesn't even factor given Gudbranson's more focal need and role in the lineup relative to Hutton. The Canucks will be looking to re-sign Gudbranson - or deal him to return assets - he absolutely will not be sitting when healthy on any grounds.

Phat Fingers Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 On 2017-12-06 at 6:30 PM, King Heffy said: I'd take Hutton out instead. Absolutely!!!!! The only other possible move is to make a fairly big trade with Edler... fingers crossed. Hutton needs either some time to work his way back into the line up or be swapped before his value plummets. By by far the biggest liability on the defence. Guddy is a player this club needs desperately ATM. Especially with the younger kids coming in. He and Tanev are the prefect mentors for our younger d men. They are also RHD s our younger prospects LHD like Pouliot and OJ have the right guys to play with. With Trymakin coming back in a few years... fingers crossed... we could have a defence that is OJ Tanev Pouliot Guddy Trymakin Stecher. Thay would be a defence that would be very effective and could potentially dominate if we get a sweet draft pick this year. EmW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - whatever happens with Edler longer term, and Hutton - that blueline is a distinct possibility in the future, regardless of whether they add another young D in the draft or w.h.y. That's a pretty good young blueline, particularly if they develop a strong forward group (and goaltending in addition) - and all of those are assets that the Canucks hold the rights to - re-sign Gud and if Tryamkin's comments that he'll give Vancouver another try when he's ready are accurate, then that's a promising future blueline whether they upgrade or not.

apollo Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Didn't really like this trade at first... thought Jimbo could have took DP on waivers anyways... which he likely could have... but who knows which team he woulda actually got claimed by. Jimbo paid a small price of a 4th to ensure he got who he was after. Gotta give him kudos here. Trading is not his strong suit and I applaud this move. Atta boy Jimbo!

Were they ahead of us? Or were they pushed to the back of the line after making an earlier claim?

There is the little matter of the 50 contract limit for NHL clubs as well as the 23 man roster limit. https://hockeytalkie.wordpress.com/2016/06/18/common-hockey-misconceptions-waiver-rules/ Quote Misconception Two: Claiming a Player Affects Your Waiver Claim Priority For Future Claims. This is a rule that is common to fantasy leagues, and I think the EA games also used to have it. As most know, teams are offered a chance to pick up a player on waivers in a set order, which is basically the standings in reverse order. This gives the weakest teams the first chance. The misconception comes once a team makes a claim, as many think that doing so bumps a team to the back of the line. This is not true, and waiver claims have zero effect on a team’s waiver position.

Yep, which is why it also made sense to move Pedan, otherwise they would have had to make another deal just to clear a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Loving DP's play. This has the potential to go down as a Naslund type steal of a trade. Perfect timing on this one JB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
