cripplereh Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 you always overpay, but getting a player that has played with another and done awesome is an instant upgrade to the team Madden would have been moved sooner then later as we have three centers that take the top three spots and three others on the team in case of injury a top 6 player that is a 20 plus goal scorer is what we paid, but like said above should work out better for us I think people are mad and going to be but think about it, this is a team game and we needed the player now and we still have other younger players that are as good if not better still in our system, which again one or two might have to be traded in the next couple yeas to upgrade the team or so they can play as our roster is full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Curse Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 who are "the 7" who JB references as future NHLers 1.Podz 2.Hogz 3.OJ 4.Lind 5.MDP 6.Rafferty 7.Rathbone or Woo Does Tryamkin count? almost a guarantee all these guys play some NHL games with Woo being the least likely IMO Jasek, McDonut, Utunen, are also very interesting prospects. I bet Jasek plays at least 1 game in the NHL in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake is a solid player, hes not a top line winger though. Not at this point. Yeah, I was wondering where the high and might Church of VforVirtanen has been lately. Maybe inconsistent Jake is still being..... whats the word? oh right.. inconsistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he said it sucks being traded. Hes not happy to leave LA and said it wasn't his choice to leave. But hes bff with Pearsson and like the direction our team is going and the young players on the team have good future. He'll be willing to re sign I think. If he fits in well they make playoffs I think JB and Toffoli try to make it happen if numbers work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 1 hour ago, jammin_jk said: I understand the sentiment Deb and could agree... except Petey and Hughes aren't at the end of their careers (ala Sedins). They're professional hockey players and another year without the playoffs won't actually hurt them that much. I'd rather look three years down the road when they are in their prime. We longer have the option of Madden or a second round pick anymore in their futures. Would you rather have Toffoli for 24 games plus a few in the playoffs (I don't think he'll impact our playoff chances one way or the other very much) or a Gaudette (Madden isn't Gaudette... he's lighter (con) and more skilled (pro) at the same PPG as Gaudette) and a Hoglander (if we draft well... this is a deep draft) in our prospect pool. As a Canucks fan for about 35 years, I take the long sustainable view and choose Madden and a second everytime over a rental who really is a fringe second liner (doesn't drive play) for 24 plus a few... unfortunately our management agrees with your point of view and wants things now. That is not a rebuild! Man... I hate this trade... I get the sentiment and the meaning behind it, but it is so short sighted (focus on this year) and short term... in other words, we would be better overall and in the future without this trade. But, I respect your opinion... When you have superstars like Petey and Hughes, the clock starts ticking as soon as it's clear they are going to be $9m+ players in short order. At that point you either sacrifice them or you sacrifice the depth you need to be successful. If you think wasting another year without playoff experience is "nothing", then there's not much left to say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Curse Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 ALSO---- Blake Coleman went for way more than toffoli, I do not care about the length of contract the price for Coleman was stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Curse Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 ALSO--- Madden weighs 150-160 lbs... do you think he will be an impact player in the next 3 years... no 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Horvat must be ecstatic. He will have a permanent right shot right winger now. At least in playoffs after Boeser returns. He's had 16 different wingers over the past cpl yrs. Gotta figure out a way to extend Toffoli. He's somewhere between Pearsson and Miller as a player. Very solid pick up.. Madden could end up like a Goldobin. He is a former 1st rounder and just not rugged enough or talented enough to be a full time NHLer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 It's amazing how in 24 hours Madden has gone from one our most exciting your prospects to an undersized sack of crap that's multiple years away from seeing any NHL time.

samurai Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 20 hours ago, Lazurus said: The playoff should not be "THE GOAL" they don't give out trophies for making the playoffs. The issue here is what this team will look like in two years now that it has no high picks next year or, if he is not finished, the year after. Pettersson and Hughes will be getting huge money on a team of 30+ year olds with no young support players. All the prospects from the last 7 years have not made a difference at least not picks after the first round with the exception of Gaudette. Living day to day is okay for a regular person but teams need to or should plan ahead. Next year Tofoli is a good chance he goes back home with his kids and plays with Madden. Markstrom or Demko are gone. Edler and Tanev, well they are older at the least. if you watch Jim's presser the organization's goal is to make the show which he sees as part of the bigger picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him to become the best player he can be, and he's shown that he has elite potential. He's only 22 and we just need him to be healthy on a consistent basis. As far as Jake goes, I really like what he can bring, and does bring to the table most nights. But he too, has to bring that consistently. And when he does, he is a dominating type player. Points aren't everything, agreed. There's a hell of a lot more that goes into making an effective player than simply points. that's where I disagree........very good, yes, elite, not in my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
