We could use another winger, but we don't desperately need it anymore. This may be a wacky idea, but hear me out. Lets target both a top 6 winger AND a d-man :O I know it's wacky and out there but hey, I think I am onto something here. The idea that we need d-men shouldn't instantly take us out of improving all areas of the team. If we walk out of this offseason with only drafting Podkolzin and acquiring Miller and Nyquist it's a hugely successful offseason (for the right dollars on Nyquist). Next summer could see us have a d core of Stecher, Edler, Tanev (hopefully not), Hutton, Tryamkin, Barrie (hometown boy, maybe he pulls a Tavares and comes home), Juolevi and Hughes. With honorable mentions to Schenn, Woo, Brisebois, Sautner Rafferty and a few others that we may snag in College free agency. Preferably we are competitive this season but still walk away with another 10-15 pick in what I hear is a deep draft. Sign up Barrie in the offseason next summer. Tryamkin and possibly Podkolzin come over. Make the playoffs in 2021. Give Tampa the 15-31 pick. And begin our next era of being a playoff team. There are no free agent D-men I am interested in anyway. Myers will want too much and Gardiner is a defensive liability that'll want too much dollar on too much term.

If what ur saying is true about Lucic, then the Oilers will keep offering us sweeteners to make the swap. I see that Lucic doesn't offer much offense and can't skate well.... but he offers so much size and toughness... I'm soooooo sick & tired of Eriksson that I demand the swap... Eriksson simply doesn't give a F anymore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 He would be a sneaky good add for our top six. Wonder what his asking price is. We only have 17 mil and still have to sign Boeser and rest of RFA's plus a few dman. Don't think we have enough cap space unless we move bodies out.

Eriksson simply doesn't give a F anymore.... I just think there are other, more effective ways to get rid of Eriksson and his contract. There's bound to be teams that need to get to the cap floor that will take him and his contract after the bonus is paid out. At the end of the day, he's still an ok 3rd line player.

brian42 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I would love to add Nyquist as long as the term isn’t too long, don’t think he will sign for less than 4 years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I’d be interested in that. To me it means baerstchi won’t be counted on in the top 6. Miller-EP40-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Nyquist Pretty nice looking top 6. Just scared of the numbers / term in combination with whatever dmen we sign.

IMO, if we acquire Nyquist, we're banking on being a surefire playoff team this year, especially if we get a defenseman too. My concerns are that we could be handcuffed with an extra contract for an older player that we don't badly need. Sure, if Nyquist signs for cheap, I'm all aboard, but sometimes tells me he won't be that cheap. This team is ready to get better and competitive, but I'm wary of trying to force our way into the playoffs with unnecessary contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Also, I’d prefer Nyquist at like 5/5.5 than Ferland at 6.5+ or whatever he wants Nyquist style of play would complement the duo of bo and Pearson well I think. also like Miller he is durable and stays healthy - pretty important attribute for a Canuck.

Injuries hurt us. Imagine if we had Miller and Nyquist last year. Those injuries don't hurt as much and we are likely in the playoffs. We have a core group right now with Bo, Petey, Boeser, Podkolzin Virtanen up front and Hughes, Juolevi, Tryamkin (next summer) and potentially Woo. It's not like we are buying up a bunch of random free agents to fill the entire roster. We are supplementing the core guys we have with free agents and trades. Which is generally how it goes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyquist at Miller dollars would be fantastic. But I imagine he asks for somewhere around 6-7. Especially when a guy like Hayes just made bank for 55 points (the first time he ever hit 50 points btw). That contract could be really rough for the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they planned to have baertschi on the third line (if he gets hurt easier to replace in that role) he could add a scoring element to that line and unfortunately half if not more than half the time a top 6 player will be injured and he would slide in nicely. Personally I’m hoping the Canucks do not move on from him but there is a lot of other players I’d be happy with them sending out: Sutter, Spooner, Goldobin, Schaller. Unfortunately Probly Tanev too just because those injuries have been killing us. I don’t mind holding Granlund for cheap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Probly Tanev too just because those injuries have been killing us. I don’t mind holding Granlund for cheap. I just posted this same thing in another thread. I think Baertschi is a great 3rd liner since he can fill in the top 6 so seamlessly. At the same time, I do think Baertschi - Sutter - Virtanen could be a very effective 3rd line that can chip in a decent amount of offense. Sutter and Virtanen need someone to feed them the puck and Baertschi just happens to be very good at that aspect. On top of that, it pushes guys like Gaudette, Leivo and Roussel (all legit 3rd liners) down to the 4th line creating a very deep playoff caliber lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks to Granlund.... sure he quietly works hard for us but we already got Motte and Gaudette for his role. If we can grab Lucic in place of Eriksson, time to ditch Schaller too... right now he's just a placeholder for Roussel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
