I am. Find a way to include JD (Leafs prospect) in a trade with T.O. and hope he can convince his brother Jordan (Wild prospects) to finish up his college career (1 more year) and then sign with us as a FA.

It seems like the first time in forever that teams aren't trying to get deals done early to put pressure on other teams and drive prices up. I guess they might actually have something to say on deadline day coverage unlike last year where pretty much all the major moves had been done around the league already.

Too many sellers by the sounds of it. Buyer's market this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of buyers’ or sellers’ market, doesn’t the value have a lot to do with the quality of what’s for sale? Tanev, for example, is a valuable player to any who doesn’t have a top line shut down dman, like the Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see a Tanev deal being done pre deadline as he has been beaten down this season. Maybe in the off season.... But JB would be remised not to be workng the phones presently on Tanev getting a feel for the market and posturing. Which it appears he is doing.. Sooo yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I think Hutton and Vanek get some sort of quasi ready prospects with upside at the deadline. GM's dont want to part with picks however JB has been keen at swindling high ceiling prospects that have fallen out of favor since their draft.

kenhodgejr Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Thoughts on 3 way trade. Benning has made it clear he wants to add some size and grit he can immediately plug into our lineup. Max Domi ticks all boxes and can be used up and down the lineup. To Toronto: Chris Tanev To Vancouver: Max Domi To Arizona: Timothy Liljegren + 2018 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 IF tanev is moved it will be on deadline day and to toronto. Tanev for Lilgren+ 1st would be great but probably would not happen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we re-sign Gudbranson and considering how he and Edler help each other, I think the following top 4 would be pretty good: Edler-Gud Juolevi-Tanev Unless we get Dahlin and majority of new comers exceed expectation, I think we have one more top 10 draft pick coming in 2019 but this defence should be good enough to keep us decent. Look out for Stetcher next year. Steadily improving every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those borderline playoff teams looking to sell are wrecking the market for the really bad teams! Benning is gonna have his work cut out for him in the next couple weeks.

dura_mater Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 8 hours ago, Boudrias said: I have wanted a Tanev deal all season and quite honestly it was to get a 1st Rounder ++ in a strong draft year. Another aspect of having 2 1st Rounders is the flexibility it gives Benning in either trading up or down. If Gudbranson is resigned I do think Tanev will go if the offer is good enough. THe 2018 Draft will be huge for the Canucks. 4 hours ago, stawns said: I agree, another 1st has to be the cornerstone of any Tanev deal, but I also think they need a top prospect too. Tanev might not be a flashy dman who puts up points, but he's a rock and in the prime of his career. Best of all, his low point production makes him affordable for a lot of teams. The more interest there is, the higher his value. If they pick top 10, I could see JB making a play for a top 2-3 pick. I was listening to Elliott Friedman's 31 thoughts podcast. They had Josh Flynn on, the Director of Hockey Administration for the Blue Jackets. He said it's pretty common knowledge amongst NHL GMs now that it just isn't worth it to try to move up in the draft - it costs too much. Just some food for thought.

Buyer's market this year. It definitely is a buyers market. I think the other problem is, after the seeing what Colorado got for Duchene, every other GM wants to get a similar return and isn't willing to settle.

Taveres is pretty much the only guy floating that trumps Duchene in my mind and I would be very surprised if he is dealt. Also how's that working out for Ottawa? I think that trade may hold some water for the market but I wouldn't be relying heavily on it as a benchmark especially when it comes to UFA's which will be bargain basement fire sale prices.
