But we need OJ, Try back, and to nail this pick. If we do I think we may be the better team! They’re just ahead of us timeline wise. 100 percent. Jake is Jake, and if that becomes a straight ahead 20goal 20 assist guy that can hit that's great. Tryamkin coming back would be incredible for the franchise. The million dollar question is OJ. If he pans out to become a top 4 we are right there. The biggest if to me is OJ. He really is going to make a big difference for the better or worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno Alfie, check the scoring: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=99406 We really need that. Yeah he's smurfy but then pair him with Edler and then Juolevi for the future. Both would be great pairings imo. We can then move Tanev too. Puts a lot of good changes in motion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smells like desperation to me. Yes we need to get better but next years first for us could complete our rebuild in a deep draft. I’d do this only if he had something else in his sleeve we don’t know about, that would almost certainly put us in the playoffs. I get there is a bit cost for this sort of thing, but we already have two smurfs in the back end and although Barrie is a proven producer ... I hate this idea. The days of small skilled guys are numbered IMO...history shows that you don’t win cups with this type of defense...name ONE cup where it’s happened. I don’t care if we are the eighth seed because our regular season didn’t go so well (saying hello to LA x 2 cups). You don’t win cups with tiny teenie players.

It could be decent especially if JB can get Burakovsky from Washington for next to nothing who would then be Jake's replacement 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are allowed to go over the cap by 10% during the off-season. said the cap "almost doesn't count" because there is one catch for teams with big payrolls: you can exceed the cap during the offseason by up to 10%. https://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2015/6/25/8819603/salary-cap-salary-floor-noncompliance-why-teams-dont-cheat Edited June 21, 2019 by Rick Blight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they have the entire summer to sort their cap issues out and they have to be under the cap before the season starts. I’m too lazy to check and because I’m back East am already into the beer. So I’m going by memory ha ha. As I say I’m pretty sure I’d say 90%.

appleboy Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I think the team needs some size. Dack, Cozens or Boldy would be nice. If the forwards are picked over then lets trade down and take Seider , Harley or Newhook. It won't happen but get another first Jimbo. What a shame they didn't plan ahead for this draft a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atillaMYhun Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 RE potential Canucks/AVs trade: Too bad that last year the Canucks didn't have a 28 yr old top pair RD to trade for a package of a big, strong, fast, young former top 10 pick on the verge of being a 20 goal scorer PLUS a first round pick in this year's draft.....OH WAIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like the future moves it triggers. https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/b/barrity01.html I’m going to say IF he has something else up his sleeve it COULD be a good idea. Something that would almost guarantee the playoffs. Otherwise it could get ugly next draft the same way it did to OTT (although it could have been much worse). Sakic is betting we don’t make the playoffs in this deal and we are betting we do. I’m ok with losing JV, I’m not ok with losing a chance at a game breaker next year for Barrie services for four years. Don’t forget he’s had some excellent players padding his stats over that time. Yes he’s a good PP specialist and he’s on a great contract. But he’s not a two -way defenseman his game has flaws.... let’s just say I’d rather sign Myers and keep JV and our pick...and that it does smell like desperation on JBs part to me. That said I’d probably get over it, not the worst idea in the world and our defense does need transformation - is this is the deal that’s available then taking it makes some sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the kind of stupidity that I was worried about. Next years draft is very deep and one D man will not get us out of the basement. I hope they would be smart enough to see to it that he has to be extended. Owners are playing for now and it will shoot themselves in the foot. If they do this the Canucks pick will win the lotto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
