Nuxfanabroad Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I was considering if any team could afford(mostly extra assets) the required cost it would take, to land Dahlin? I'd appreciate any/all input, so many kids I've hardly seen play. Haven't watched jr games for many yrs, since away from NA. ***SCENARIO***..A US team wins the #1 OA selection. Perhaps a Buffalo, Ariz or Chicago(heaven forbid) I'd say Winnipeg could offer up a pretty enticing package. example:Trouba, Morrisey, Roslovic, Connor. Questions: 1 - Would these 4 pieces represent overpayment? 2 - Could you see any of the mentioned teams accepting this(potentially 3 US stars in this pkg)? 3 - Remember Winnipeg has to shell out soon for Laine also. They've got a backlog of top young talent. Would they be wise to pkg a bunch of it for this elite kid, Dahlin? Lastly: What's one team you could theoretically see assembling a legitimate, realistic offer to nab the #1 OA pick? Conversely, what's a lotto winner that you could imagine accepting said offer?

JM_ Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I don't think anyone could offer a package that wouldn't gut their team of whatever their 4 best prospects and/or players were. If we were lucky enough to land 1st oa we have to run with it, these kinds of guys come along once a generation for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustABandwagoner Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If I was an opposing GM that had the 1st overall and the canucks wanted it I would be asking for 1st rounder 2nd rounder Petterson and Brock Boeser I know its a delusional price, but its a franchise defencemen. U rarely find those in draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowtieCanuck Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 As much as I think Dahlin is a special player, giving up Petterson and/or Boeser simply wouldn't be worth it. Gutting the prospects we have now for him seems like a bad PR move and just bad move in general for a rebuilding team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If we win it, we keep him. This is where he wants to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 What's with the Canuck-fixation? It's a general thread, where one can consider any prospect(s), or stand in any GM's loafers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If we don't win we don't win we move on. There are lots of good players available. I wont be disappointed if we land a top 5 pick. Heck I would even be happy with trading down the 6th pick for 2 picks in the top 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price would be so high no GM would be stupid enough to pay it after the Lindros trade that landed the Nordiques Forsberg ++++. So much talent to like in that top 5. We'll be getting an absolute stud no matter who Benning takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes that was a lopsided trade for the Avalanch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If I was another team, this is what I'd need from the Canucks: Horvat Juolevi 1st 2018 (Top-5) 1st 2019 (Unprotected) That pick isn't getting moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Wellwood Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Would you accept Edmonton's 2018 first (not lottery protected), Draisaitl, and Nurse in exchange for the 1st pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have a hard time believing these apparent valuations. Sometimes(not saying here, necessarily), it's smarter to sell. Quebec proved that in 1991. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an interesting example. I bet many GM's opt for this pkg. edit: Already know Edm's out..imagine this is a #6 OA pick(for sake of analysis). Still think many GM's grab that offer.

luckylager Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 IMO, if you want elite you have to trade elite. And overpay just because #1OA. In your Wpg proposal for example - Laine or Scheifele have to be going back the other way. Laine + 1st + prospect would most likely get it done. Or Scheif+trouba + 1st + prospect....+. Though our pick will be higher than Wpg, still looking at Boeser / Pettersson + Juolevi + 1st and we still might need to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
