Guddy from fla was a bad deal but we needed a big rhd. I am ecstatic with the miller trade since day 1 Happy so far with how pearson has turned out. And i am quite intrigued with the addition of toffoli Not suggesting you were for or against it, sorry if it came across as such. Canucks did if I recall come out with a pick or two from that as well. Just pointing out that for all the assets and hand wringing thus far the Canucks have come out well ahead via the Pearson, Toffoli (TBD*) and Miller trades The only way we bif on the Toffoli trade is if we don't make the playoffs and or he doesn't re-sign. Honestly, looks damned good so far 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay far away. Doesn't matter. It's in the past. We hired Tortorella. Gallant has a winning record as a coach, does very well with young players and would be a decent addition in the event we lose or release Greene 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian42 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) I think Madden will be a player but he’s still a maybe. A late 2’nd round pick is definitely a maybe. Toffoli for sure will help. In my opinion it’s a good move as long as we can re-sign him which will be tough but hopefully Benning has a plan to do so (moving out contracts / IR). Madden wasn’t going to surpass Petterson or Horvat any time soon, so do we really want a 160lb center as our 3rd or 4th line center. Yes he will get bigger but he’s already 20 and that is very small. Petey and Hughes are small but they are also our 2 best players. We can’t have too many guys that size, especially if they aren’t elite players.

We are nowhere near that level of offense. We are currently 10th in the league in goals scored. But even ignoring that, as good as EP or any of our young players are, we don't have anybody at Kane's level (yet) in terms of goal scoring at will. With the exception of the Chicago game we played earlier this year, we never played like that. I'll give an example, in 2009 in the second round of Game 6, a game the canucks had to win if they wanted to stay alive, the gave up three leads. They just could not contain Chicago's offense and it ended up costing them the game. In case you missed it, Kane scores his first goal looking at his teammate the whole time (he didn't even look where he was going to shoot it.) He scores his third goal with a sick backhand that goes in the opposite direction of the goalie's movement. As much as I hate to say it, no one on our team can pull those moves off and our team isn't a high powered offense (yet). Maybe if Podz or Hoglander come into the line up and are complete home runs we can have this discussion, but as of right now, it just doesn't describe our team. We just don't win our games by totally outscoring the the opposition and being "impossible to contain". That 2008-2009 hawks team didn't rely heavily on their goaltending like we have this season. They relied on their offense. We couldn't be more different. We are not quite where Chicago was, I know. And yes, I remember Game 6. Daniel Sedin would score, giving us some hope and then they come right back with a goal. Many people blamed Luongo but it was just Chicago was darn good. That was Chicago's coming out party, and more specifically, beginning of Kane's dominance. And for all we know, playoff EP might be different from regular season EP. You never know. I didn't know Kane was that good until he elevated his play in the playoffs. And the playing field is different from what it was back then. Is there a team as deep as Vancouver Canucks of 09, 10, 11 that Chicago had to go through this season or a Detroit team led by Datsyuk, Lidstrom, Zetterberg? Look at Pacific division and tell me there is any team that is unbeatable. We don't have to be as great as that Chicago team this season because the competition is very different from those years. I think we've got a chance. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing EP and Hughes in the playoffs. These two kids have talent for surprising the Canucks fans.

Popular Post Monty Posted February 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2020 Good trade for both sides, even if/when the Canucks don't/can't extend Toffoli. The Pacific is weak this year, and with the youth the Canucks have, getting valuable playoff experience is needed for them. Getting a few rounds experience will be good for the group. Good for Toffoli as well, as he can pad his stats, show exactly what type of player he is, and then get a long term contract in free agency. For the Kings, it's also a win. They are full on rebuilding, and Toffoli already helped contribute to one Stanley Cup win, which they will forever be grateful for. But at this point, the Kings were better off going the future route and saving on the cap it would have taken to extend Toffoli. Madden is a terrific prospect. Phenomenal hands and terrific vision. Should he make the NHL and succeed, he'll get used on the 2nd unit PP. But as is the case in any trade, he wasn't going to help the Canucks get that much needed post-season experience this year, which is what they need more than anything. Fair trade for both sides. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Honestly I don't think cap will be that much of an issue: This year: 4.6 toffoli 4.45 Tanev 2.325 Stecher 1.25 Virtanen 0.916 Gaudette 3.666 Markstrom 0.850 Fantenberg 1.5 Leivo 0.975 Motte 3.5 Michael Ferland 24 mil July fist 2020: Toffoli- 4 years 5.2 mil Tanev- 3 years 5 mil Stecher- 2 years 3 mil Virtanen- 2 years 3.7 mil Gaudette- 2 years 2.2 mil Markstrom- 4 years 6 mil Motte- 1 year 1 mil 26.1 (cap will likely go up to make up the difference.) Year after Ryan spooner 1.03 mil comes off the books. Sven Baertschi 2.291 mil comes off the books (buried in AHL) Jodie Benn 2 mil off the books Suter 4.6mil comes off the books Alex Edler 6 mil comes off the books. this gives us 15 mil July 1st 2021: likely able to free up some cap from Eirksson either by him retiring or by trade with retained salary. we would use this cap space to sign Pearson. Have to sign Pettersson, Hughes Pettersson- 8 years 9 mil Hughes- 8 years 9 mil 18 mil. Jb Will have to do a little moving around but not as much as we fear. I know Demko needs a new contract too but honestly if they give Markstrom a 4 year contract they likely trade Demko. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part I agree that it’s not as bad as most think but if *Leivo and Fatenberg are leaving we still need replacements for them even if they are from Utica, also Ferlund would have to retire or be on IR for the remainder of contract for this to work but it’s possible a guy like Sutter, Baertschi, Eriksson or Beagle come off the books early.
