Meh he's small and we have good forwrard depth. 

 

Madden's got speed & IQ. In a vaccum I think he's got more upside than Gaudette.

 

I like Toffoli as a player, and a fit despite his down year. If he re-signs then its good, if not... then its not a good move. Toffoli isn't pushing this team any closer to serious contention.

Well now we have a legit 2nd line RW. 

Miller - Pettersson - Boeser
Pearson - Horvat - Toffoli

That aint half bad right here

Not even counting Virtanen and Leivo, both of whom can produce at a borderline 2nd line level.

Pettersson, Horvat, and Gaudette down the middle for years to come would be my guess.  That would force Madden to the wing where Hogz and Podz look to come in.  Gotta give up something to get something?

Good deal if he re-signs. Not the time to be going 'all in' for a rental. 

 

This team has cap concerns, you need young prospects coming up that can contribute on the cheap. Madden was on that track.

We didn't get softer we stayed the same but added scoring.

 

We still need to get tougher.

That’s true 

 

I was not a schaller fan at all 

 

I just think we are not at the cup stage to really need TT right now

 

not with Green at the helm

Clarifying my frustration.  Fair to slightly below market value-wise; I just don't think the team was strong enough to be dealing futures in exchange for rentals this year.

We have a lot of prospects on the cusp and a lot of spots filled in on the roster already.

 

It appears that the Canucks believe in Gaudette being a 3rd C which makes anyone behind him expendable, which was Madden in this case. If they weren't confident in what they had they wouldn't of traded what they thought was a position of strength.

 

That said I hope Toffoli re-signs.

Yeah, its not a bad trade... but it isn't the right trade to make at this point in time for this team. 

 

With the Canucks on a bit of a slide and everyone in the Pacific picking up points the last few days, this feels like a response to concern about missing the playoffs altogether.
