Alflives Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 10 minutes ago, NaveJoseph said: Barrie is a BC native, born and raised in Victoria. If we traded for him there's a good chance he resigns. If we don't, we would have to enter a bidding war, and the price would be very high for a right-hand puck moving defenseman. Don't get me wrong, I'm tentative about trading Virtanen, but it might be worth it in the end. I'm okay with trading Jake for Barrie. it's the 2020 first that has me concerned. Our team is not deep enough to handle a key injury (like Bo) and not finish bottom five. So, would need to add whomever that draft pick might be to the cost of Jake. Wouldn't it be totally sad if we did trade next year's first, and that's the year we won the lottery? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they made the playoffs it would be based on outstanding goaltending. They should use their cap space to plug a couple of holes for this season. Trading the future to plug a couple holes for the short term is just ridiculous. That is a move that a team does who is in the hunt for a cup not a team who will struggle to make the playoffs . I get that the Canucks have EP40 on an entry level contract so are looking to compete inside this window, but is it the right strategy? Are the Canucks close enough even with Petey being as good as he is? If they are, it'll be because of the roster players already here and improving or a rookie again steps up and is ready to play. For next season, Canucks have to see if that can happen and not take on bad contracts or make expensive trades. The timing isn't right for bold (dumb and expensive) moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Hopefully Edmonton or Anaheim take Broberg, then we would just need a Boldy, Caufield or Krebs to be taken to get someone from that top group.

But with this trade Benning could speed up the rebuild and make us a playoff team. I think it's a plus that it's a 2020 1st and not 2019 1st.

I don't see him starting now, especially when that 2020 draft is so strong. There were rumors this morning we were considering Bo in a deal for Barrie. We are not moving a first round pick for Barrie, just like we are not moving Bo. Maybe Gaudette for Barrie? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way in hell would I trade Bo for Barrie... But honestly, that makes more sense for Colorado. Trading for Bo allows them to take Byram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Instead of trading the 2020 1rst I’d rather trade Virtanen and move down in this draft to Colorado’s later first round pick and then add onto that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not. Horvat is at breakout point. He's big physical young. Need to get more players like him not less. I hope not too, but because of the first not Virtanen. 48 minutes ago, Squamfan said: Not surprised at all. 6'4 200+ with #1C upside. So much speculation they are taking Turcotte but perhaps he's just been a smoke screen all along. At this point I'd be a bit surprising if Chicago doesn't take a center, & Dach's a great pick for any team from 3-5.

Again Colorado is another good example for what a rebuilding team goes through. They thought they were getting close a year or two back. Then they regressed. I would expect Petey to struggle a bit this year. The league will not be fooled by the rookie anymore and he will get a ton of attention. This club is not deep enough to isolate him. He will get the number one D and the best defensive forwards. Our D needs a ton of work and we are also in need of a couple top forwards. plus we have no depth so when the injuries hit and they will we will struggle. I agree that the timing is not right . It will actually set us back if that get us into cap troubles or sell future first round picks for a short term fix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seannnp Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Finally draft day is here Podk, Krebs, Boldy for me. Would love Dach or Turcotte but likely wont be there for us at 10. Lets see some trades, some additional draft picks, lets say our goodbyes to some of our Canucks and welcome the future. Hoping for an additional 1st, an additional 2nd, Krebs, Barrie, Connoly and Johansson this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) As long as the 2020 1st rounder isn't moving, I feel alot better about what we are doing. It seems like Faulk's name has been out there for years now, I wonder what they are looking for. I'd assume hockey trade if its been this long & he's still in Carolina.

appleboy Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Next years draft has 7 players who are good enough right now that they would go in this years first round. So as sixteen year old's they are good enough right now to be drafted in this years first round. Last year the only player that was rated that high was Jack Hughes. Do we really want to give Colorado a lotto pick. Or a top ten pick if they lottery protect it. Edited June 21, 2019 by appleboy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Lafrienere, Raymond, Lundell, Holtz, Askarov, Byfield. All potential elite or 1st line players. Perfetti, Zary, Holloway, Drysdale, Schneider, Rolston, Hunt, exc. exc. All good top 6 or top 4. Should be a really good draft year. Barring a remarkable offer, we just shouldn't consider trading the 2020 pick, period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
