Seriously, u don't think Madden and his agent might have been nervous we already have 3 young core centers? Explain where u think Madden would have become a full time centre on our roster. It’s not about Madden playing on our team. It’s about using the asset to bring in a support player when our young core is fully matured and ready to compete for a Cup. Madden and a second this TDL. A first and a third for Miller last June. Both, in themselves, are very good trades, but now is not the time. Our young core will need JB to support them with top players in three years. Miller and Tofoli will both be gone, and the assets used to get them will be spent. IMO these two trades shorten our window for a chance to win a Cup. Is our chance to win a Cup going to be better in three seasons when our young core is more mature? Clearly the answer is yes. That’s when these types of trades should be made. Now we are less a first, a second, a third, and a highly regarded prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to see the kid go, but again, if it was a poker hand , the odds the kid would have replaced any of our top three centres in this decade was practically 7 2 off suit 1 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more like " who will be better in three years , Gaudette or Madden". That is what the organization was asking themselves .The fact u don't see that sort of baffles me . Not to mention Sutter is also a very capable shut down Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 We got Podkolzin, Hoglander, Lind, etc. Losing Madden is alright, for now.. We'll see how it goes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since the Canucks can make a deal like this, where they can use one of the prospects as part of a deal, in landing a legitimate top six player. Would fans rather Benning sent Podkolzin or Höglander in return the other way instead of Madden? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care even if we lose Lind tbh.... Toffoli is one hell of a talent, got playoff experience.. and if we make this a fun ride for him and Pearson, he will wanna extend on a reasonable contract!!

If your betting on a guy in the NHL with the resume of Toffoli over a guy who hasn't played 1 game in the NHL you'd have to drink a hell of alot to bet on Madden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WHL rocks Posted February 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2020 I understand the price was high. But this is the type of moves you cam make when you you draft so well. Last 3 or 4 years Canucks are among the best drafting teams in the NHL if not out right #1 best. They've accumulated enough prospect depth that you can make a move like this when needed. Boeser out at least 1 month Ferland out for season Leivo also likely close to a month and Motte out too. If JB didn't make this trade 100% we fall out of the playoffs race. Prospect depth is not just for players making the team down the road. It's also for making trades and making a playoff push. I think this a a win for both teams. We got their leading scored and we desperately needed a top 6 winger. They got a real good prospect and a 2nd for their rebuild. They are hoping one of those 2 will play 300 plus NHL games down the road for them. 2 2 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to see the kid go, but again, if it was a poker hand , the odds the kid would have replaced any of our top three centres in this decade was practically 7 2 off suit of all of our quality prospects, if this is the one that had to go I'm fine with it. Madden's size isn't an issue in college but it could very well be in the NHL. No one knows. But I freaking absolutely love the idea of Pearson-Bo-Toffoli. I also love what this does to the quality of our bottom 6. Oh and the PP options. Maybe this was a high price, we really won't know for 2-3 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we are less a first, a second, a third, and a highly regarded prospect. A prospect that could very well be at his peak value , and all our young players are still mostly on ELC's. I have absolutely no issues personally with Benning giving these kids a legit shot at playoffs, and moving out a kid who would probably have never played here, and a pick that, if Benning feels is worth it , can be recouped with moving other players that are deemed expendable after the playoff push. That's my opinion. Yes , i would love to have kept both the pick, and Madden, but we got a great winger in return that , to me , is well worth the price at this point in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastal.view Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 ok so we got toffoli that is a good get at this time of the season i hope people realize he is not jt miller not close, don't expect the same things from him he is more like pearson will be productive but a bit uneven but he is fills out the top 6 now but likely is the 6th best player in the top 6 ep40 miller brock bo pearson toffoli if any slip, virt can step in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
