I'm not sure you can declare anything about a potential trade, without knowing the return. This isn't so much about what Jake is capable of, he's (capable of being) a solid 3rd liner. Maybe more. It's about his commitment. His buy in. This team is QUICKLY improving and it will be staffed with people who are going to PUSH. Not people doing 'ok' or getting by. Jake can decide to be part of that or he can continue doing what he has been. On a positive note, if anyone can get that out of him, it's probably Green. But the team's only going to wait so long for him to figure it out. And on a healthy squad with Gaudette and MacEwan starting to push from below (and more coming behind them sooner than later) his time to 'buy in' is running out. On a healthy lineup he easily starts getting pushed to the fringes without a full, committed effort: Ferland, Pettersson, Boeser Pearson, Horvat, Miller Baer, Sutter, Leivo Motte, Beagle, Eriksson/Schaller/Virtanen ...with Gaudette, MacEwan and soon Hoglander, Podkolzin etc breathing down his neck. That is in no way a secure roster position to be 'relaxing'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogie Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 What I’m hoping the roster is: Ferland - Pettersson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Miller Baertschi - Gaudette - Leivo Virtanen - Beagle - MacEwen Motte/Goldobin Traded/Waived: Sutter Schaller Eriksson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I think Gaudette belongs here, but he might be assigned to Utica, even on paper to start the season. It sometimes takes time to find a trading partner. I think there's a couple of guys who might be on the block to make room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baertschi - top-6 is full and Green apparently already has his bottom-6 per Batchelor. Drance says Green had no answer on where he could fit.

I don't think the Canucks would be sad to lose Eriksson Schaller on waivers. IMO it's more Baer or Motte or Goldy Edited September 27, 2019 by timberz21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jack in the box Posted September 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Waive Baer? Boys with new toys... you guys think Leivo and Pearson are1st/2nd liners? Theres a reason they were in the doghouse and we got them for cheap... I would be happy if they can keep it up, but I'm not sold.

Neither has a higher ceiling than Baer Media has been running with that for several days now from being around the team. Fwiw an Edmonton radio host was saying already in the middle of the summer that his sources tell him the Canucks had already ear-marked Baertschi to be waived.
