Tre Mac Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 5 minutes ago, Crimson said: It is to help with future negotiations. If you come out and say "I want a 1st + B prospect for Player Y" and then, when faced with a deadline, end up trading Player Y for a 2nd or 3rd round pick it screws you later on because everyone knows that if they hold out on you they will get your asset for cheap. That leverage probably has more value than a 3rd round pick ever will. Same reasoning for not giving Hamhuis away a few years back. Eh, is Dubas even going to have a job in a year? I mean it's ok but not something that should be praised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patel Bure Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Quite honestly, I don’t think Stecher will be back next season. He’ll either get moved at the draft for a 3rd or below, or will be unqualified and replaced by Rafferty. If it’s of any consolation to him however, I don’t think Tanev will be back here if Tryamkin decides to come back, along with Barrie signing here.

Tanev and Stecher > Barrie and Tryamkin Id take Tree’s size in a heartbeat and think he’d help this team but we’d be worse off defensively in that swap in my opinion. Id prefer to see what Raff has then take another big contract on D, If we need more offensive on the back end. Barrie doesn’t seem like a guy you when a cup with especially cause he’s going to cost 6+ million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to follow the Jake Gardiner path and sign with a team for a discount in hopes o& resurrecting his career after being so horrible in TO. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a lot of hockey left this season...Stetcher might make it difficult not to give another contract who knows. I really don't think we will see Tryamkin get a contract unless he comes in at camp and impresses. Not before. He could take Benns spot (it is his natural side). Hard to tell what will happen - hope Barrie isn't at all in our plans we don't need him. We have QH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I also think having Hughes would make Barrie redundant on this team. There’s only room for one smallish Dman and no one is better than Hughes offensively and defensively for his size. Having said that I wouldn’t rule out Stecher signing a reasonable deal. But if we are to improve our defence and we want a guy with some offence he’s gotta be a more rounded all around defencemen which Raff could potentially be that.

There's a difference between saying "I won't date fat girls." and "I won't date fat girls unless..." The unless obviously means that it's conditional. So it's not that Barrie isn't tradable - it just has to be at the right price. On the other hand, Pettersson is untouchable. Maybe if the Canucks get thrown 3 first round picks from three different years, plus a roster player. Maybe, just maybe there is a conversation that gets started? Regardless, I think it's just not realistic at all, so you could basically say Benning won't trade Pettersson (period). And also depending on who's trading it. Three first round picks wouldn't be very attractive at all if it's St. Louis or something. That's a crappy trade for the Canucks.

Barrie doesn’t seem like a guy you when a cup with especially cause he’s going to cost 6+ million. @Alflives @IBatch One argument I don’t understand，is this whole, “we have Hughes and so we don’t need Barrie” argument. My question is why? 1) Hughes and Barrie wouldn’t play with each other 5 on 5. Both guys could play on separate pairings with more defensive minded defensemen. Barrie with Edler, and Hughes with Tanev (or Tryamkin or Myers should the Canucks decide to walk from Tanev). 2) On the powerplay, you can create two potent power plays with Hughes quarterbacking the first, and Barrie quarterbacking the 2nd. If the inevitable injury bug hits and someone from PP1 gets injured, them you can play Hughes and Barrie together. Atleast in my opinion, the Canucks shouldn’t be worrying about whether they have two defensemen of a similar nature (small offensive minded men). Instead, their primary focus should just be on having Top 4 caliber Dmen on their team. Barrie is almost as old as Tanev, but Barrie’s game will likely age a lot better due to his style. Tanev has been injury free so far this season, but given his style of play and history of injuries, I’m not sure if Tanev is going to age particularly well. I wouldn’t be comfortable signing Tanev long term, whereas I absolutely would with Barrie (I’m assuming that the Canucks coaching staff is interested in Barrie because stylistically, the Canucks are far more similar to Colorado than they are Toronto and so they feel that Barrie would be a good fit here). Canucks defense if it was up to me: 2020-2021 Edler-Barrie Hughes-Myers Tryamkin-Rafferty 2021-2022 Hughes-Myers Tryamkin-Barrie [Juolevi/Rathbone/Brisebois]-Rafferty (if the Canucks somehow lost Myers in the expansion draft.....which is kind of what I’m hoping......go HARD HARD HARD after a superstar two way physical defenseman that can complement Hughes on the top pairing......or, hopefully, the Canucks will have drafted someone like that by that time). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s simple for me. I want less pucks in that back of our net. I don’t think Barrie is as bad as some say in his own end but he’s not the greatest. Subtracting Tanev for Barrie would be a huge blow to our defensive side of the puck. The day we lose Tanev is the day some fans realize how important he is. Have you seen our record without him in the lineup? It’s stupid bad. We don’t really need more offence. We are currently 7th in the entire league. Our Power Play is 4th. Hence I fail the need to spend money in Barrie, frankly we would end up spending too much money and not improve at all in our own end. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't hurt to give Quinn a fairly aggressive d-partner who'll punish douches like Domi for taking liberties. When Quinn was slammed to the ice by Domi, watching Tanev skate away wasn't good from an optics point of view. If Hughes can't handle a mild cross check to the back, he won't last long in the league. He's going to get that multiple times every single game going forward and the team isn't going to jump opposing players every time it happens. He's a smart kid, he'll be fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me I think Barrie is a crap mcsofty, who is too easy to play against, and who plays like a scar d cat. Not want him has nothing to do with us having Hughes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 5 hours ago, MattJVD said: While the last few games he has played closer to 2nd pair minutes; his season average TOI is 15:12. That's the lowest of his career by a full 3 and a half minutes. He's also on pace for his 2nd lowest point total, shots, and 2nd worst advanced stats (relative corsi/fenwick) in his career (however he is getting his highest share of defensive zone starts in his career). So outside of the last 4 or so games, this season has only been better than his sophomore year. His rookie season and last year were better than his performance this year overall. To be fair, Canucks have a history of making d-men punch above their weight due to the number of injuries they've dealt with. This year-just spitballing, haven't run the numbers- he's probably playing at the appropriate amount of ice time. Reduced minutes likely account for less shots/points. He might not be having his best year but probably not bad for third pair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Tanev, but this years an anomaly and he won't age like wine. Can a right side of Myers, Stecher and Rafferty really be a competitive right side..... I think we get a chance to find out. Tanev is wearing shin guards that were specially designed for him. They seem to be working. Other than that, perhaps it's luck that he hasn't taken a puck in the yap or hand so far this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
