I think they will push hard to keep toffoli. I doubt he gets more than a 1 mill raise. IDK with cap if they make the playoffs the picks going to NJD. We don't know what kind of team we're gonna have next FA and it's not that far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This teams bread and butter has been drafting but now were trading all of our picks. and now prospects as well. Makes a ton of sense. This team isnt a cup caliber team yet. Were not in a position to be trading picks. Normally yes, I don’t like trading off high picks, but, we have got some pretty good picks in the system from the last few drafts, so that it’s not as big of a deal for this coming draft. That’s the way I see it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 remember how it took years for Gillis to find a top 6 forward (and failed)? Gillis got 2 top 6 forwards in 7 months. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-23 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 5 minutes ago, Winter Soldier said: Sick trade. Toffoli is legit and people were terrified that it was gonna be Simmonds. Picks outside the top five are overrated and Madden has nowhere to be with Petey, Bo and Gaud at center long term. People are assuming the worst about Toffoli being a rental and the best of a 2nd and Madden's potential. Much like the Miller trade. Funny how that worked out. Most people I've talked to, and the posts I've seen on here and Twitter, everyone seems to want Simmonds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they make the playoffs then its this years 1st that they gave up for JT Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Can't say I'm a fan of this trade at all. Losing the 2nd when we're already gonna be short a 1st in one of the next two drafts really hurts, and Tyler Madden was one of our best prospects. If we were going to make a move like this, I'd much rather it had been for help on the blueline. edit: Maybe they're expecting Boeser to be out pretty long term?

Darius Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 You got to figure that part of the cost (madden plus second) is to unload schallers contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 1 minute ago, MoneypuckOverlord said: over payment. Really is. Over payment. this is a rental, and Toffoli will not sign here, since he will be looking at more money then what he makes now, and we can't afford to a sign a player like that, since we need to free up cap room to sign Hughes and Pettersson in about a little over 1 year from now. Maybe, but Toffoli isn't going to be as highly paid as you might think. I'm surprised they targeted a fwd, but Bo needs a legit RW, so why not get a rw who has had good chemistry with Bo's lw? It basically comes down to Madden and a 2nd for Toffoli........I'll take that deal and if he signs, all the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way Vancouver keeps this years first is if they miss the playoffs, which would make this trade real bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwood12 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 No wonder BB6 wasn’t scoring. I thought he was possibly playing hurt. Now we know how serious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogy Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I defended J.B. even though he is not perfect. This trade is an overpayment and redundant. This team is good enough to get into the playoffs and maybe even win the division without Toffoli. I thought the long term plan is to let the veterans’ contracts expire and pay the young core players and introduce prospects into the lineup. This trade significantly deviates from this plan. This trade is an overpayment because we gave up at least 2 prospects, Madden and whoever we were gonna draft in the 2nd round. This is an overpayment for Toffoli, who I like and I hope is gonna have great chemistry on the second line with Pearson. Toffoli better frigging resign long term at a bargain price and have a point per game season from now on!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 This deal tells me that they are really gonna push hard for re-signing Pearson/Toffoli 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not allowed to keep healthy players on IR/LTIR. He was most likely placed on LTIR retroactively. Once he is ready to return they have to send someone to Utica to create the necessary cap space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are trying to fill a hole up front .. they are in a dog fight for playoffs without bb for at least three weeks. I too would have rather spent the assets on fixing the blue line.

amplified0ne Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 If anything the Blackhawks taught us that you have to go for it while your young superstars are on entry level contracts. It's much more difficult to win once they start making huge money. If we take our shot now I'm ok with it but our back end still stinks lol. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
