If we can dump him for a pick, and not take on a contract in return, that would be fabulous! This feels like a Josh Leivo type situation lol. Except MDZ is considerably older. I'd take a good AHL goalie to and a 7th to help the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more along the lines of a guy for Utica. If we can dump him for a pick, and not take on a contract in return, that would be fabulous! I think Alf is closer to it. Any pick would be a win as, otherwise, the Canucks will get nothing when MDZ's contract ends and it is not like he is helping the team now. And I agree that if someone is needed to fill in late in the season, Biega can fill even, even if he has to play the left side, or we could get a look at someone from Utica. And, who knows, maybe Hughes appears late in the season. I could also see a "C" prospect coming the other way, which could be good. Motte worked out pretty well. 37 minutes ago, Doubt Tea said: i'd rather MDZ in the lineup than Pouliot 30 minutes ago, EdgarM said: I agree, at least he can dig the puck out of the corners and get the puck out of the zone. Both Pouliot and MDZ were disappointing. I think Pouliot was favored because he was, in theory, still "developing" and the hope was that his game would improve, whereas MDZ is not likely to improve his game at his age. MDZ has his good points. He is a "high event" D -- makes a lot of hits, carries the puck, and gets on the scoreboard fairly often. However, a lot of the "events" are bad defensive plays. His defence just is not good enough and I think Green got frustrated with that. Pouliot has dialed back his risk-taking and has become more reliable defensively.

Maginator Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Just a placeholder. Tbh cant wait till hes gone. His run and gun style doesnt work with the Canucks as we are usually playing defence. I could see him doing well with a contender and a high caliber offensive team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying MDZ is a top pairing D by any stretch of the imagination but if I want the better player in the line up, its MDZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlastPast Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Washington, Winnipeg,Minnesota and Calgary maybe ? Can't see more than a late round pick for him, maybe a 5th or 6th depending where in the round it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I can see Benning sending Del Zotto and Gagner together to the Leafs, as insurance for a Cup run. Might even throw in a Pouliot, if they convince Hughes to sign before seasons end. Moving out NHL capable players that aren't playing or part of the future makes perfect sense. I trust Benning to get something of value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. If the Canucks can spare a protection spot for the Seattle draft, it makes sense to. The significance of that going forward can't be understated.

Darius Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 A Stanely Cup contender may need a DJ in the locker room to energize the team during a long playoff run. Get a 5th rounder like they got for Raphael Diaz (turned out to be Gaudette) and we make out like bandits here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.BRR Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I think he's still hung up on Megan Markle.... Prince Harry married the love of his life and since then he hasn't been able to play hockey... In all serious I would rather see MDZ dress than pouliot. He seems to be liked in the locker room as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
