Yeah true, but first round picks aren't a sure thing either. . Let's be honest, most first round picks beyond the top 5-10 picks won't go on to be as productive as Miller (keeping in mind Miller himself was picked in the middle of the 1st round)- that's the reality of it. You always take a chance when trading a pick, but you are taking a chance when using that pick too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bad alice french Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I'm on board. I realize that many here feel we are rushing things but the truth is the West may never be as exposed and up for grabs as it is right now. Also, guys like Sutter, Beagle and Motte are on the edge of their prime and we need depth 2 way guys for any kind of a serious playoff run. As much as I am excited and optimistic about the future, the truth is now might be as good a time as any. There is something to be said for the naivete of rookies in the playoffs. Then there is Bo... He's due for a playoff appearance and needs it now as he enters his prime. I still thing Jim goes after another defender. We were on the verge of making a move for Simmonds. He would have cost a pick and a prospect as well. Toffolli is a massive step up in terms of ability and age. If we get him resigned we will get closer to the depth up front that I know most of us deep down know we are definitely in need of. It's another pick... It's Shalatov... And it's a B level prospect... Not bad at all for a solid player with a couple rings. Welcome to Van Tyler!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz-Pix Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Personally, I'm not a fan of this trade... Don't get me wrong, I like the player and he's definitely a proven playoff warrior...but he's the type of player (rental) you add when your close to challenging for a cup. I would have preferred to keep our picks and rights to Madden and let our team learn how to play in a high pressure playoff series or two. I realize depth is luxury in the playoffs but based on Bennings draft history I think we're missing an opportunity to stockpile another good pick in a deep draft year. Those draft picks in the pipeline are going to come in handy in another couple years when we're truly contending. I concede this may be a moot point if the Canucks have a deep playoff run and gain invaluable playoff experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) There's a lot of bad trades happening this year at the deadline. Coleman, Toffoli, and Zucker shouldn't be getting these crazy returns. If players like Kreider also get dealt, I can't wait to see what the return will be. Losing Tyler Madden stings, big time. If Toffoli doesn't re-sign, Benning should be canned. Edited February 18, 2020 by Darkstar 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 2 minutes ago, stawns said: Jake doesn't have to worry about anything until Boes' gets back and he was outplaying him, significantly, prior to BB getting hurt. The only reason BB was back with Petey is because he was invisible with AG and Jake can drive that line. Jake is way too inconsistent to remain a staple on the top 6. Brock was prob playing hurt and he was still putting up better numbers on the top line. i think if Management thought Jake was an adequate replacement for brock they would have spent the assets on upgrading the d or toughness first. Jake is best suited on the third line with Gaud... for now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Ferlands absence and likely retirement forced Jim's hand to make a deal to secure a playoff spot. Got er done Jimmy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those assets should be saved to squire players when we are ready to compete for a cup, now is too soon. Toffoli has won. He has instant chemistry with Pearson. He is a warrior. He could re-sign. He pushes us towards being a contender. Quinn and Petey are both good enough right now to push. And pushing them now, is only going to make them better later. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffoli will go to war for us. yes, but resigning Higgins was the mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Green going to be our coach when we compete for a cup? Jury is still out on Green... We need to see how he manages in the playoffs before I judge him and his staff.

Many here wanted us to follow a more methodical approach like the Jets model... Both have there pros and cons but in this day and age with the cap, we would be priced out of some of our most promising players just coming into their prime... Just like the Jets. The time is now! This is nothing like what the Blackhawks did, they re-tooled a Stanley Cup winner, I am afraid to tell you this ain't that team. The Jet's model is so good they could lose 4 top 4 defensemen and still be in a playoff spot with more young players than the Canucks. The Jets have millions in cap space to play with, the Canucks have 20 grand or so and that is with 6 or 7 guys on LTIR. A loop hole in the CBA.

6string Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I was watching the Avs and Lightning game and I heard from the kitchen about trading deadline coming up and then heard Vancouver ( that perked my ears ) followed by Toffoli's name which brought me here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn’t. Losing Madden is inconsequential. He is a 20 year old prospect that weighs about 150lbs with no chance of making our team. In essence we got rid of an overpaid underperforming 4th liner, a prospect who would never make our team and a second round pick for a top 6 forward that is a proven good player. This is a fantastic trade for the Canucks. Edited February 18, 2020 by grandmaster 5 7 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was Madden's path to the NHL? He's not beating out Bo, Petey or AG.......wouldnt you agree? He'd also have a very tough time getting by Jasek, who is a great fit for the bottom 6 in a year, maybe two. There simply wasn't a place for Madden down the middle 1 1 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
