hammertime Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I am as stoked as anyone about this upcoming draft. Let's say we miss the boat on the lotto though. No Hughes no Kakko no Byram. We end up with the 7/8th pick there are no top end RHD in this draft. But there are some good options in the 2nd. The Canucks trade our 1st 2019 to Minni + Jake Virtanen Minni Trades Matt Dumba Dumba is 24 RHD was injured most of the season (threw a wild punch) however is the type of player I dream of the Canucks being able to draft. He is fast, aggressive offensivly, has a cannon and plays with edge. Minni now has 2 picks in the 7-12 range to help control their cap and stay competitive as Pariese's and Suters contracts turn into the albatrosses we all knew they would be.

Nucker 67 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 BOOOOOO! That's what we'll all hear on Draft Day when Benning pulls off this trade. The Draft is in VAN, no way they trade their picks, especially the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a better fit than anyone 5-10 in the draft for the canucks needs right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glug Datt Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 not sure Granny & our first would fetch Dumba, but if they did say yes, I'd do it.. also not sure they'd want granny anyways, after recently parting ways with the other brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 right... Minnesota wants to make the playoffs, so they are going to trade you their future #1 dman for the #7 pick and a FA 4th liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtanen would be my max offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought here on CDC every pick turned into Datsyuk Zetterberg and Virtanen is Cam Neely. I don't actually think the value is that far off. There will be some very sexy forwards still available at that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have CDC here nice and pure thinking we grab one for below market value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Minnesota is not trading Dumba - he's a core player for them. When healthy they have one of the best D-corps in the league. Last season they were 2nd in D scoring just behind Nashville. They also have plenty of cap space. Owner Leopold was just talking about how they will be active in free agency. "He's one of four guys that has had three consecutive years of 10+ goals before he's 23...you're seeing him going forward as possibly getting better, it certainly made sense to go in the terms that we did." — GM Paul Fenton on Dumba. Also: "Once you believe they're going to be part of your core, it's important to lock them up and keep them as long as you possibly can." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkingz Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Would love to have Dumba but like others have said I doubt Minnesota parts with him. These players do not grow on trees. We would need to offer way more to even get Minny to think about it for more than 3 seconds without laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 or we could draft soderstrom and wait for him to become an elite d man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His scouting reports talk about his high end hockey IQ. Could be a nice fit with Hughes down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok lets go flip side then what would Vancouver have to give up to get another top 10 pick?? Is there anything on our team other than Pete Bo Hughes? I think even Boeser might be debatable.

You really like him huh I have read you pumping his tires before. For me he's not in the top 10 discussion. Have you watched much of his play what is peaking your interest so high. He looks like a 2nd pairing nothing flashy good all round minute muncher to me. He does not scream Elite but when it comes to D the best ones are often the ones who aren't super flashy. I'm curious if you have been watching him closely why you are keying in on him as an elite D prospect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 What a Dumba proposal I kid, I don't mind trading our first if we can't get Byram. Keeping it just because we're hosting the draft and not at least fielding offers for it would be moronic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I prefer the possibility of going after Trouba (rfa). The Jets are in cap hell for the coming season and will have several high end young players wanting big $. There's no way they can sign all of them. I also prefer to hang onto the 1st this year, maybe give up the 1st for next year. If not, I certainly would want the pick to be lotto protected at the very least.

TheRealistOptimist Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I would probably rather just keep a top 10 pick than trade it away plus a prospect for Dumba. I’m starting to like Broberg quite a bit, I wouldn’t mind if we drafted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
