Dombrova22 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hughes-Risto Gardiner-Tanev Hutton-Stecher This is something I would like. Or if we pull the trigger on that Lucic deal, get Nurse added as a sweetener and don't sign Gardiner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD, puck moving dman who’s solid in his own end and puts up points. Will be cheaper than Risto for sure, and less of a defensive mess.

Plus I don't see much of a difference between Schenn and Bogo so why would you trade an asset to get him??? Maybe it’s Montour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound like Ristolainen has been doing much of that. The other right handed guy they have is Brandon Montour. Also another offensive guy. What does that tell you? It tells me that BOGO has been playing as hard of minutes as Tanev with no one capable of having his back and as soon as he has gotten injured, the team has floundered again and again. How much do you wanna bet if we have both BOGO and Tanev on the same team that next season, we have a top 5 to top 10 PK and that neither of these guys are getting injured so badly? Face it. They are getting injured. Tanev brings it on himself by laying in front of shots and absorbing every check rather than avoiding or rolling away from the kit. Don’t know much about Bogosions injury history but it’s ugly and he’s missed 125 games the last 4 seasons alone. You have these two in your top four it’s only a matter of time before bottom pairing D are playing 20+ a night in their absence because of the lack of depth and the Canucks start losing games.

I don't think he's what we need. He's far too small. He's not nearly so gifted as Hughes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They recently acquired Montour (for a pretty high price), possibly opening up Risto to be available. I doubt they're ready to move on from him already. He got 10 points in 20 games so if he can keep that up, it would above his career best in production so far offensively. It's not impossible, but maybe (hopefully) they are blinded by that +/- that they move on from Risto prematurely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boziffous Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Bogosian may miss some time to start the season as he is still recovering from hip surgery in April. This makes the 2nd hip surgery he's had over the past year and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 1 hour ago, aGENT said: You replace him with a competent UFA. Adding a legit top 4 D, to an improving Demko and a solid vet UFA with Ian Clarke goalie whispering them sure doesn't sound like 'nullifying' to me... But Markstrom wasnt just competent he was amazing. Team would've been much worse if he was merely 'competent'. Adding 1 top 4D (thats better in a 2nd pair role) wont improve the defense so much that it doesnt matter whos in net. Whereas having a great goalie can mask poor defense. So I still think it nullifies. Besides, i doubt they are targetting Markstrom with only 1 year left for one of their prime expendable assets.

SabreFan1 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) A player's worth is determined by how much demand there is for him. According to LeBrun, now that Trouba's been moved, plenty of teams are inquiring about Ristolainen including Tampa Bay. https://theathletic.com/1034335/2019/06/18/lebrun-notebook-after-some-time-to-reflect-lightning-gm-julien-brisebois-sees-no-reason-to-alter-course/ Quote One player that I believe BriseBois has shown interest in not only before the February trade deadline but also again this offseason is Rasmus Ristolainen in Buffalo. With three more years on a deal that carries a $5.4-million cap hit, Ristolainen’s contract is more than reasonable for what he brings. And he just turned 24. Which is also why the Sabres aren’t going to deal him unless the package is absolutely right. Tampa is far from the only team that’s expressed interest. In fact, now that Jacob Trouba has been traded, I’m told interest has picked up again over the past 24 hours. Ristolainen is probably the top target now for teams eyeing to trade for a top-pairing D. If I’m the Sabres, I don’t get into a serious discussion with Tampa unless Mikhail Sergachev is on the table. The Canucks aren't going to be able to afford Ristolainen without making it hurt.

Hey, I was one of the few people here defending Marky before he went on his run. But we can't keep both and his contract is up next summer. And I have a lot of faith that Clarke can get Demko and 'UFA' playing at a pretty high level personally. No goalie was arguably their biggest weak point last year. It's kind of an important piece.
