Spitfire_Spiky Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Doesn't even make sense. The Canucks are not looking for a player like Galchenyuk. He doesn't fill any of our current needs and is struggling as it is in Montreal. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have other young forwards pushing for roster spots soon as well. Makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning has made a habit of buying low on guys not living up to headlines. Pouliot, cough Vey, Granlund, Baertschi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning has made a habit of buying low on guys not living up to headlines. Pouliot, cough Vey, Granlund, Baertschi Apart from Vey, I agree that Bennings trades for low value players who have turned it around has worked out great for us however its always been to fill a need on the team. We picked up Baertschi and Granlund as we were weak up front then, this year we needed a PMD and filled that with Pouliot. I just don't see where Galchenyuk fits into our lineup currently and believe that the asking price will still be fairly high from Montreal. Bergevin is in trouble over there and needs to hit a homerun with his next trade/move or he'll be looking for a new job before the end of the year.

Galchenyuk - Horvat - Boeser looks good I like Goldobin, don't want to get rid of a nice prospect. How about Hutton, Baertschi and say a 2nd or 3rd rounder? But yeah, this would make no sense for Montreal. I think the question is whether there is a trade out there that would make sense for the Canadiens? All they have are good players not worth moving and depth players not worth much in a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Who do the Canucks have at LW that could be on the top 2 lines going forward? Baertschi and Virtanen? Is Granlund a 2nd liner? I'm not sure. There's also Evander Kane, who would be a good improvement at LW. The team will lose the Sedins, Gagner and Vanek in the next year or two, and I don't see Burmistrov and Rodin sticking around. It might be a couple of years before Dahlen, Gaudette and Lind join the team full time. Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser _______ - Pettersson - Virtanen Granlund - Sutter - Eriksson Gaunce - Gaudette - Dorsett Dahlen Goldobin Lind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I really don't see the point in adding Galchenyuk unless Benning plans on unloading Vanek early maybe, but that isn't how he is going to maximize the return. We already have a logjam of forwards and in a couple of years we are going to have a new bunch of middle 6 forwards coming through the system. Unless he improves, I feel Galchenyuk is a 2nd line player at best and we just don't need more 2nd and 3rd line guys at all. Additionally, I don't think Hutton is worth a heck of a lot to other teams and would imagine we'd have to contribute more along with Hutton to get a guy like Galchenyuk - doghouse or not. IMO what we should be targeting is a defenseman with top pairing potential. Maybe package of Galchenyuk plus Juulsen, and give up Hutton, Goldobin and a third?

Tre Mac Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I think Eklund has a dartboard with every NHL team on it. Then every mourning he googles 'random nhl player' puts that name on a dart and see's where it lands. Today the dart was named Galchenyuk and it landed on 6, aka Vancouver.

Nucker 67 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Possible LWers Galchenyuk (6'1" 207) - 23 years old, produces between 45 and 55 points a season. Kane (6'2" 212) - 26 years old, produces between 35 and 45 points a season, although, he is on pace for 82 points this year. Canucks #1LW Baertschi (5'11" 192) - 25 years old, produces between 25 and 35 points a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're short on LW, which is why I don't really get why people are saying targeting Galchenyuk "makes no sense". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to down-play him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Big, Young, skilled and stuck in stifling system. Love the reclamation projects especially with such a high end potential. Makes no sense for Montreal though they do need blue liners. If it is Hutton and prospect (obviously EP/OJ/KL exempt) than great as long as not also giving up high end draft picks. Bergeron is just bad enough as a GM that this may seem plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Maybe it's just me, but it feels like loading up on forwards makes little sense for Vancouver right now. If anything, we only really need top-end defensemen, and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
