NuckForReal!!! Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Don't get me wrong I think Sven Baertschi is a useful player for the Canucks but he is one injury away from his career potentially being done and he's only 26 so it's a given he's going to get injured atleast another time in his NHL career. I think we should get value for him while he still has some and before he gets a potential career ending injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 He just came off of a significant concussion and every GM in the league knows this. He won't have any value right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP-40 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I agree but for different reasons. His value is not going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe Silvia Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Pettersson is averaging 2 injuries per year should we trade him as well? You could say every player in the league is one injury away from ending their career. And what the hell exactly is your proposal? Trade him. For what? To who? I'm guessing this thread gets locked.

Phil_314 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Why trade him?? He's like how Eriksson is on paper -- not afraid to go to the tight spots, somewhat of a two-way player, and he's on a value deal that we just signed him to recently. Why can't we just let him, Bo and Brock do their thing?? Guys like Goldie and Loui aren't necessarily better options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Maybe you should spell the player's name correctly before you start a thread on said player... Also, Crosby was one more hit to the head and he's done as well. That was 8 years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 most stupid post ever. wrong on so many levels. You know who they say was done? Jeff Skinner. This one we can all agree with. And now he is #2 in goals in the league and helping the Sabres make the playoffs. m You seem to commoditize our players as well, its damaged, let's trade them away? Righteousness.

Lancaster Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Brock has had a couple of injuries already, same with OJ and EP.... time to trade them too. Guys like them won't last in the NHL. They are way too injury prone... especially EP40.... he's too small for any NHL. The Canucks should trade him before he decides to flee back to Sweden.

canuckledraggin Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 He has the most skill on the team behind Pettersson. If you think you're going to lose him in the expansion draft then you deal him, but if you have him on your team you keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Oh how I missed these trade Baer threads. And by missed them was ecstatic in the fact they were no where to be found. I love Baer, but he has no value. He is coming off another concussion that'll have teams wary of giving up anything significant for him. And two, this team is better with him. We have NO ONE that would fit in that spot comfortably. Goldy looks sketchy. Eriksson is garbage. Motte is okay but his style of play fits better in the bottom 6, same with Roussel. Bo needs a Robin since when healthy the team plays Boeser with Petey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Righteousness. Can't compare the 2. Skinner has 233G and 421pts, compared to Baertschi's 63G and 133pts and they are both 26yrs old. The difference is Skinner was always viewed as a top line player with top goal scoring ability, while Baertschi is a fringe top 6 on a weak team who has never scored 20G or 40pts. Base on history you can't expect a resurgence of Baertschi like Skinner did. It's also funny that Skinner played less than 70 games only twice in 8 years (and one of them was the lockout), while Baertschi never reached that plateau. Trade him or not, I don't really care. He doesn't have much value anyways, and I don't think he's in our long-term plans for our top 6 either, he's just a stopgap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL'er Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Plays well - "TRADE HIM BEFORE HE'S DONE". Plays poorly - "TRADE HIM HE'S A BUST". Doesn't play - "TRADE HIM HE'S AS FRAGILE AS SALO" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggieBush Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Much like Tanev (imo), I feel like Baer has more value to our team than he would on the trade market (due to his injury history). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how many can't grasp the above truth. I'd rather see Goldy or Sutter traded first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Righteousness. I remember saying we should trade for Skinner a couple years ago and everyone bashed me saying he'll never hit 30 again, his head isn't right, he's one injury away. Look at him now. Baertschi is the only player on the team doing ANYTHING right now. Lets try something crazy and appreciate it for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the Hurricanes did the right thing with Skinner too Guy was totally done. Only on pace for 55 goals this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
