But I am coming from a point of view of what would make sense on the Canucks side. I would be willing to add a mid level pick too depending on who the prospect is and possibly if they eat some salary too to help us shed salary to resign Tanev and Markstrom this offseason. Benn is a replacement for Martinez short term - they still have to field a team. Baer can slot in and replace Toffoli who they will likely trade for picks and prospects. If I was a team like LA I would bet on Baer being a servicable top 6 guy and increasing his value. Or they can keep the roster spots to play their prospects and have them develop. LA is not close to competing. If they are going to lose anyway might as well have the season be used towards player development. That was Sakic's calculation a few years ago. He was saying he rather lose while young players are developing than playing veterans. Don't know what are LA's plans but Kopitar and Doughty are fully on board with the rebuild per another article earlier in the season. McLellan also talks of how they are several years away. They already have some veteran contracts that they won't be able to move so not sure they'd want to add more. Their prospects are now 1 year more experienced than last summer so they might also want to start opening spots. Could be why Martinez is available - he still has a year on his contract.

Benn and Baer with a B level prospect sheds salary and upgrades our D. Why would LA do that. Basically getting waiver wire player who cleared twice a guy that can’t crack our d’s 6 position And a b prospect. so we ll take you’re player and give you nothing. doesn't shed salary Alex 4 mill bear 2.2 benn 2. All three. With the same term Doesn’t free up any cap to resign the important members of this current club.

There are not many teams who are in contention that can also take on Martinez full salary, or want to move a roster guy to make it happen. This way LA either has two players on decent contracts for next year, which is going to be another rebuild year anyway, and a prospect and maybe get something for Benn too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruilin96 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 A package to bring in both Toffoli and Martinez would be something to consider. Don’t give up A level prospects to them, and we have to give them some salaries/contracts back ourselves to make it work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn’t save us a penny. And That’s a lot of what ifs.for LA Draft picks is what most rebuilding teams want. (With the exception of Vancouver) when trading vets in a rebuild. To say this guys such an improvement over our d yet LA should take spare parts for him. Like I said I rather make room for the young guys in our system that have been improving and give us cap flexibility so we can sign our actual future.

I don't think a 3rd and Benn are "spare parts" thats actual value. Baer could potentially be a good player for them in a rebuild as well. Martinez is a good fit on the bottom 6 for a lot of teams heading into the playoffs, but he's not a word beater. Vancouver doesn't need to save money just improve a little bit.

rekker Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Man this guy is getting a lot of attention in the media. He's oft injured and I'm not even sure a top four guy. He's depth but with another year remaining he's not a rental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver doesn't need to save money just improve a little bit. We don’t need to save money? We can’t even carry a 23 man roster If we wanted to. And the guys we need to resign this summer and next won’t be cheap. Benn cant crack our line up making him a spare part by definition. Bear same. i don’t think he’s a much of an upgrade over the guys we have or the young guys that have “earned “ a shot. Fantenberg has been a fantastic surprise Personally I think the system is more of a problem than the personnel. So I just don’t see AM helping.

oldnews Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The Jets have been hammered by D losses in the offseason and with depth injuries - may be hesitant to move their futures - but they have a few good young D prospects = they could probably afford to move one and use an upgrade lke Martinez on their blueline. They're right on the edge competing to stay in the race - I'd guess they could be one of the possible destinations. The Leafs have a clear and obvious need, but their cap flexibilty has been in Dubas' hands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uses his size well. Only problem I see with this is that Carolina's also vying for a playoff spot. I'd be surprised if they'd be willing to trade him away.

Toyotasfan Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 All the Rumours revolve around defencemen right now ! TSN is working overtime cooking up trade rumours that are going to bring the perfect defenceman that fixes all the Leafs problems and maybe a runner up that can help Winnipeg . To hell with the rest of the league, unless you want to trade something to the Leafs for next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably because everyone wants defensemen so it makes it easy for people to make things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
