I don’t see Green sitting out Motte, Beagle, Eriksson, or Sutter for Gaudette, down the stretch when we’re competing for a playoff spots. I don't see Sutter or Eriksson deserving a spot over Gauds. Wouldn't be surprised if Sutter gets moved before the deadline. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks are looking very good when Brock returns in 3 weeks. But this price tag for a pending UFA was big. Sure there's a lot of variables, but we're only guaranteed Toffoli until the end of this season. This to me is a transaction that is completed when the team is pushing for a cup. Not the first time we've seen playoffs in 5 years. I'm betting there was talk with TT's agent before the deal was made. I don't think they'd give up.a 2nd and Madden if it was a pure rental. Even if it is, I think it's very important to get this group into the post season this year.......they need playoff experience. With so many young superstars, the clock is ticking on their window. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning is going all in, he knows he has to make the playoffs... ...and really, the Canucks could do damage this year. The west sucks right now. When you trade your 1st & 2nd round pick (plus prospects), the rebuild is over. Sound like everyone did about Pettersson (and every other tiny player that has success nowadays). Mikael Samuelsson had 30 goals one year. He doesn't count? The rebuild isn’t finished though. That’s the concern. JB says it is, and is making moves (since the Miller trade) like it is. IMO he’s wrong. We are two young top players away from having a completed core. It’s too soon to be giving up picks and prospects, JB is tweaking the team, and it’s too soon for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspie Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 1 minute ago, Maddogy said: 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!!! How is it redundant? They needed a top-6 forward to play. Toffoli is a solid upgrade over Eriksson/Virtanen to play with Horvat. The long term plan has always been to build a young core and insulate then with veterans. Bending has been doing this since 2014 when he first took over. Losing Madden will sting but losing the conditional 1st for Miller also hurt. Difference is Miller has played well and Toffoli moving to a playoff contender and play with chemistry with Pearson is a smart bet that he will well too.

Popular Post luckylager Posted February 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2020 Toffoli is a &^@#ing beauty, this is a fantastic trade for us! I bet Kings fans hate this trade. They get a full serving of maybe with a side of molasses. We get meat, taters and gravy. Love it 7 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team was already on the downfall after that LA series. Gillis wanted to rebuild, ownership didn't.

Qwags Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Gonna be honest, I'm more worried about resigning Toffoli then what we gave up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
