I'd look at trading him, but not now. What timeline do you think we will be competing in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbieCanuckFan Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Such a trade already happened to the Canucks....Twenty years ago! The heart & soul of the Canucks (Trevor Linden who never took a shift off...now while he may have had a bad game or two, he never mailed it in) was dealt for Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan McCabe and a draft pick who turned out to be Jarkko Ruutu! McCabe was later one of the major pieces that Burke was able to draft the Sedins. Thats tough to top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also impatient, we should see both Juolevi and Hughes on the team next year and I doubt teams would give us an upgrade on either. them and Tryamkin I absolutely have no stomach for tanking 1 more year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 2 hours ago, DontMessMe said: I can see aquaman trading Horvat OR boeser + 1st rd pick 2019 (2nd overall - 5th overall) for the 1st overall pick in 2019 to draft Jack Hughes. This would be a big splash but usually host teams try to make a big splash on draft day. Tbh I wouldn't mind trading Horvat+2nd-6th+mid round picks for Hughes. Love Horvat but having the Hughes brothers and Pettersson with a 40g Boeser.. man that'd be sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipe dream though cause they will never get the 1st overall pick wow actually we would keep him and trade another to have two great C, sutter might be the odd man out going forward which I would hate to see but it would be him,Bo is not going any where no matter what people think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 5 hours ago, ftmN said: My first thought would be Werenski, but I'm not sure if Columbus would do a straight 1 for 1 swap and I would rather a RHD. So Jones for Horvat? So you're saying...Norris-nominee for a player who is a below-average first-line player? That's the trade Columbus used to acquire Jones in the first place. But, at that point, he was still developing. I imagine trading Horvat for a younger D would carry similar risk. And Columbus did it because of character issues - which is the other end of the spectrum from Bo. I say stick with what we have, and continue to build on it.

The thought of having two potential PPG elite caliber centerman is amazing. You always draft the best player available when you are picking that high and Hughes is a cut above the rest according to every draft expert out there.

I can’t see Benning passing up on the consensus best centre in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Seth Jones is the one that keeps coming to mind for me. He would be good for Hughes. Maybe Evan Bouchard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fecklund Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Bo ?! I'm looking at Boeser. Not convinced that the team is being honest (BIG SURPRISE) about his health. He looked totally off all pre-season and didn't even have a shot on goal in the opener. Not saying "trade him!!!!" but not saying don't either, if it's true .... this team needs to learn how to get ahead of these kinds of things... Like Ricky Bobby said IF YOU AINT FIRST YOU'RE LAST ps. and no, gaining a whopping EIGHT pounds in the summer is not an excuse for what's going on with him.

The "Heart and Soul" of the Canucks died that day he was traded. There has been nothing but heartbreak ever since. Bo may be the closest to a "Linden" this team has seen in decades. Hard pass.
