Losing With Pride Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 A bit of negativity on this board about this trade. I actually don’t mind this trade at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FijianCanuck Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I'd like goldy called up so we can form that 70s line again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I think the bigger picture here, is Benning is not afraid to move some bodies. This might be the thing to get the players out of their funk. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Mixed feelings about this one. I'm also a little concerned as to where this leaves Boeser, are we acquiring a scoring RW because BB6 could be out a while? Losing Madden hurts, but if I were to put a knock on him it would be his unchanged weight 2 years after being drafted. He's still a very slight 160lb, if he can't put on weight I doubt he could be very effective. Jb seems to like adding 2nds to make things happen. I would have liked for more cap to have been moved, namely Baertschi would have made this more palatable as his cap proceeds into next year. Toffoli! Bo finally gets a winger! I'm half-kidding. Will we see a resurrection of 'that 70s line' but with Horvat in the middle? We got a proven playoff performer and consistent 50 point guy. I have no idea how we're bringing Toffoli back next season, in addition to Tanev/Markstrom, there just isn't enough money. Does the organization know something (Ferland retirement, Eriksson termination) that we don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BlueDragon23 Posted February 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2020 People were freaking out over the Miller trade which proved to be an amazing steal, and now it’s a similar song. Hasn’t JB earned our trust? People scrutinize him for everything and most of the time they end up panicking over nothing. Can’t wait till the Negative Nancys are shut up once again. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I'll give Benning the benefit of the doubt since his last trade was a homerun. Don't see the need to be a buyer tbh but if this gets Eriksson out of the lineup than it's a huge win. Maybe Madden can hold out and sign with us anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 hopefully JB makes Pearson sells Vancouver hard on him and re-sign him to a family friendly contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 1 minute ago, Bitter Melon said: I’m in the ‘Overpayment’ camp simply because Toffoli is on an expiring deal. Is he a good addition? Yes. But giving up Madden and a 2nd for a rental on a team that honestly isn’t ready to make a serious run yet hurts. I’m wondering if maybe there’s something going on behind the scenes with Madden we’re unaware of, like he decided he didn’t want to come to Vancouver. Madden is tiny, he wants to play centre. Canucks are set with three excellent young centres. I could definitely see those three things adding up to Madden staying in school to become free agent. I’m sure the Kings spoke to him before this trade about opportunity in their lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we're gunna move Eriksson easily. How many more key futures do you wanna give up making that happen... Sutter/Baer need to be moved. Hope that Loui retires otherwise we gonna say bye to more picks.. Maybe Ferland has too retire too which would suck. Also gotta pray that Tanev/Markstrom take discounts. A lot has to go right!

Chris12345 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 So no picks in the first two rounds this year? Oh boy. Benning must of had a beer with Gillis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow 1983 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 One thing is for sure now Ferland is out for the season Ferland 3.5 mill LTIR Schaller 1.9 mill is 5.4 mill if everyone other then Ferland comes back this still works with the Cap 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 A smaller point but I like that he was able to move Schaller. He's on an expiring contract and he would have gone to free agency anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Boogie Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Boeser out for 3 more weeks. That explains the timing on this trade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
