danaimo Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Rumour had it that a trade for Tyson Barrie was quashed because COL wanted Brock Boeser. Perhaps a better RHD might wet his appetite. To Van: Seth Jones ($5.4m x 3) To Columbus: Brock Boeser RFA Obviously Brock would have to be prepared to sign on a new contract with CBJ. What Van gets - A bona fide elite right hand defenseman for 3 more years. There are no flaws in his game and has already put up a 57 pt season and every reason to think that he has more to give. What CBJ gets - A young pure goal scorer. With the possible departure of Panarin, Duchene and Dzingel its hard to see where the scoring is going to come from. They have the cap space to offer Brock a long term deal with good money if he wants. This would be a ballsy trade by both teams, but CBJ and VAN are teams that seem to be ready to change things up to get to the next level (VAN with the Miller trade, CBJ with their deadline trades). I like Boeser here in Van but bold moves are what is needed. Please feel free to vent your anger and disgust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 When Poile traded Jones he predicted that he would become a perennial Norris contender for years to come. It's easier to find wingers than Ds especially a D1. He's also signed to a very good deal and has been a tremendous leader for them per Tortorella.

Drakrami Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 lol... they are not going to trade their #1 D for Boeser.. How many years have we waited for a #1D? And we are still waiting. You probably need to trade them Pettersson for Seth Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I'd do it, but I don't think CBJ would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 With all due respect to BB, we would be robbing the CBJ's. This never happens because Vancouver never gets this lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Funny how with all the talk of trading for a RHD and age of this caliber it’s only happened once in the cap era...sure Weber and Subban were swapped but even that doesn’t count because it was one perrenial Norris candidate for a one time Norris winner...and they were older. EP is probably the only guy that would get us something like that, and no thanks. We simply won’t get this unless we draft it, sure anything’s possible...the odds are just so far against it. Maybe we have one already in Hughes (one can hope), BUT the saving grace is there are some recent example of teams going to the top four and even winning cup(s) without them too. The best we can hope for is a well balanced defense that’s augmented with the right UFAs and possibly a trade. JV is the low handing fruit (plus picks) to acquire something to help that’s decent ... without losing a core member or making a lateral move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptKirk888 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Stop trading Boeser! He is a core piece and will be amazing for us for years to come. Does one better piece on defence make up for the lost offence? Not only that, how would other core players feel? So no one is valued here, guess I'll request a trade...

EP is probably the only guy that would get us something like that, and no thanks. Burns, Yandle, Trouba, Jones, Karlsson, Subban, Weber, Hamilton, Montour, Byfuglien and others. All top line defencemen that have been traded in recent years. No all RH, not necessarily as good as Jones, but it is myth that top line Dmen do not get traded. Not often, but it does happen. I agree EP would probably get you Jones but that would be too higher price for Van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking of the Jones quality guy, maybe Trouba fits that mould, and yes Karlsson too. Yandle, Montour, Vatanen, Hamilton are all a tier or two down. It’s not easy to get a Norris quality guy trading. It rarely happens. Would be nice to get one our two like the above though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian42 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Problem for Columbus is Jones has more value problem for Canucks is Jones is a UFA after 3 years. Would love a be a trade like this for Vancouver though. Boeser still needs work defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Not even close for Columbus. Boeser for Werenski is more interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 8 hours ago, vannuck59 said: And JB will never draft this because he cant see forest for the trees Huh? Are you saying he's passed up on a #1 d-man somewhere along the way? If so, when? But yeah, Columbus says no. Jones is worth way too much to have a one for one work with anyone less than a true #1 center. And that assumes they want that rather than a true #1 D.

JeremyCuddles Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 CBJ laughs for a solid 10 minutes straight, asks "wait, you're serious?", then laughs for 20 more minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKnight Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Seth Jones is my favourite dman. I would trade just about anything to get him. Hughes - Jones would be damn near drool worthy for 7+ year's. Sadly he will not be coming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
