I doubt anyone would trade a 3rd rounder at the draft for a bottom 6 pending UFA. Doesn't sound like Leivo will be back from injury before the TDL. No one is trading anything for him because we can't move him. He will likely walk as a UFA, no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeeash. Ya that's not great news. At least it's not that far away though. Lots of players play in different cities then their significant others live and fly back and forth . Only a 3 hour flight to LA from here . Not sure LA would resign him anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP I’m really not worried about Toffoli re-signing with LA. Another team? Sure, that could happen. But I have to believe LA would have just re-signed him if they thought he fit into their longterm plans.

Why can't the Canucks get to WCF in EP's 2nd season and win the cup in EP's 3rd season? Hughes is playing like Keith who put up 69 points in 82 games in 2009-10 season and outplaying Keith' 08-09 season, 44 points in 77 games. Led by EP and Hughes this team's road to WCF is wide open. Chicago in 2008-09 season had one 30 goal scorer, four 20 goal scorers, and one guy that scored 19 goals (won't mention his name). Canucks in 2019-20 season are on pace to have one 30 goal scorer (EP) and 5 to 6 20 goal scorers (Miller, Horvat, Pearson, Toffoli, Virtanen, and Boeser if he comes back in time). Chicago's defence featured Keith, Seabrook, Cambell, Barker, and Hjalmarsson (made the team full time towards the end of the season). We have Hughes, Tanev, Edler, Myers, Stecher, Fatenberg, Benn. It's worse but not by much. And I think Marky > Bulin wall. I think we have a shot at WCF this season. I don't think JB's is done with trades. Nice comparison of players Except our current team can't play defense. Hasn't played a structured defensive game since day one of the season.

Imagine if tanev or edler gets injured, knocked on wood, then we fugged TDL hasn't passed yet. But where would we fit in Edler/Tanev "potential replacements" in our lineup? We have Fantenberg as a depth option. Then we have the youth movement of Brisebois, Rafferty and Juolevi if need be. Hopefully an addition of Tryamkin bolsters the defense again and would be a "free" acquisition. Only potential dman I see us going after is maybe Dillon, but what do we do with Benn/Fantenberg? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DownUndaCanuck Posted February 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2020 I think to start off Toffoli should be on our top line while Boeser's out, then in the last 10 games move him alongside Pearson and Bo for the ultimate playoff line. JB is building a team full of Miller/Pearson/Bo/Toffoli-type players and for good reason, they're the ones who get it done in the playoffs. You need big bodies but not just Kassians, big guys with skill who can score and hit. Out top-6 is going to be 4/6 these kinds of players and the only other way you get into our top-6 is wity elite Pettersson-level skill. This recipe has worked time and time again for Cup winners, JB sees that and is copying it. He's setting up this team to win now and in the future. The Bruins are a good example of a team who, since 2011 even, have never really tanked but constantly replaced older guys with young guys entering their prime, rebuilt on the fly and always stayed on the top of the league. That's what these Miller/Pearson/Toffoli trades do - bring in young guys with a good 3-5 years still while having kids come up through the ranks challenging. When the kids (eg. Virtanen, Gaudette) get good enough they can bump the big guys down to the 3rd line. In the meanwhile we keep rolling a solid top-6, a challenging 3rd line and keep winning. Seems gutsy by JB to trade a bit of youth and not have an early pick in this draft, but you have to pick your battles and spend when it seems worthwhile, and Miller and Toffoli are worth it. We can just hope Toffoli sticks, resigns and gets protected in the ED because he'd be a nice staple either with Pettersson or Bo for the next 3 years at least. 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naslundfan921 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Based on his numbers (currently though subject to change should he light it up or falter with us these last 20ish games) I don't anticipate him getting much of a raise (if at all) on the open market. A comparable from last year's free agency is Nyquist. Nyquist got 5.5 per for 4 years. Toffoli has slightly lesser numbers and despite bouncing back this year, isn't as consistent statistically as Nyquist so I anticipate a smaller deal for Toffolli than what was given to Nyquist. Thus I don't think the contract or term will be much of an issue for those concerned. It'll be interesting to see what else Benning has planned for the deadline and how these acquisitions fare during this stretch drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
