Canuck Surfer Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 3 hours ago, aGENT said: All depends on the potential return. There's a threshold where dealing him at the TDL makes sense vs waiting until this summer and trading his rights and keeping our depth for a playoff run. Certainly something in sure him will explore though In 5 years we have traded Burrows & Hansen at the deadline. And that was when we sulked. And now we’re in 1st place? The race anyway. i don’t think there is much to suggest we will be sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, depends on the return and/or other moves but, again, as I said, is more likely to occur this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF, he can, boy watch out. he's also the coveted RD defenseman. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Definitely provides skill we're lacking from the backend. Hopefully he can be a competent defender though at the NHL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can be a competent defender though at the NHL level. Which is exactly why we need to remain patient with him in the AHL. He's learning the game and will continue to learn it in the NHL, but let him have all the time down there that can be afforded. With that said I see him being on the team after the trade deadline. Tanev, or maybe Stecher, will be traded 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can be a competent defender though at the NHL level. If anything, I'd say it's playing in our own zone (and getting the puck out of it) that's been lacking more so in our lineup. Some of that's on the forwards helping out (or lack thereof), not just the D though. We already have a decent amount of skill on the back end. As much as I'd like another look at what Rafferty looks like at this level, I'm not sure he's the cure for what ails us presently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we need a defenseman who likes to stay at home and throw the body. Maybe two of them if we lose Tanev. Usually want to pair an offensive guy with a defensive one.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked (though obviously not expecting) to see a major trade for another (top 4) D with Stecher, perhaps a young roster forward and/or a prospect or pick going the other way +/-. Would give us a FAR deeper D heading in to the playoffs and a hell of a lot of leverage this summer when negotiating with Tanev/insulation against him walking.

I don't think we're desperate enough to make any crazy trades (think Leafs) and I don't think we're crazy enough to expect a deep run.. this ain't our year it is however important to get some playoff experience, both for the youngbloods and for Green.. we'll need Tanev to get us there, and we'll need Tanev when we get there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Stetcher being traded, only if management feels like Rafferty is ready and can contribute. as much as i like Rafferty, he's an unknown. no NHL games. do they give him a chance when things in the playoff race are this tight?

A bit of an adventure at times in his own end/making offensive plays/giving away the puck but decent and certainly dynamic. He actually looks like what I thought Hughes was going to look more like in his first year Hughes actually being far more poised in his own end than I think pretty much anyone anticipated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I seen Hughes play in college or Worlds tournament I alway seen him pressuring puck carries, maybe I was blind to it but I didn’t worry about it. Or Tanev took him under he defensive wing and we don’t know about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
