JM_ Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 not sure about your math, but I'm sure the plan is to move on from at least two regulars from this season. A compliance buyout changes everything. I don't see anyone trading for rights tho, as Tanev is a UFA and Stecher isn't viewed as a top 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 benning has said they have decisions to make this off season and hope to get get some draft picks back. i’ve always been a believer that you young guys have to push the older guys out. i can see eriksson, baertschi and stecher being moved. otherwise, lind, macewen. juolevi and rafferty have to show they can be nhl regulars. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ghostsof1915 Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 There is no youth vs. vets. It's if you can go all youth, you will then have no experience, and not know how to handle things. The vets that we do have need to compliment our youth. In other words more JT Miller and Tyler Toffoli types and less Eriksson and Sutter types. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEGCanuck Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 It may sound simple but I think this is a no-brainer. I am definitely on the side of youth over veteran players. Teams that wait too long usually end up in the bottom half of league standings. Does this approach have risks involved, absolutely, however the potential upside is worth it.

Elias Pettersson Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Good luck signing Markstrom to a one year deal. Why would he do that? A 3rd round pick for Benn who is a 7-8 Dman? Leivo is a UFA and hasn't played in months, how are we going to flip his rights for a 4th? And why would anyone give us a 3rd AND and 4th just to talk to Tanev a few weeks before free agency? If there are 2 compliance buyouts then I hope we buy out Eriksson and Roussel. We still need vets like Sutter to help in the transition. With the compliance buyouts we'd have more than enough money to re-sign Markstrom and Toffoli. Tanev most likely walks regardless as I don't think Benning is going to sign him to a long term deal. I'm sure we will see a few new faces next year. Tryamkin and Rafferty are sure bets I think. Kole Lind could be another. Rathbone could also be in the mix, but I see him playing a year in Utica. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kole Lind could be another. Rathbone could also be in the mix, but I see him playing a year in Utica. I'm interested to see what happens with Tanev. Losing him to UFA isn't ideal and I definitely see a place for him, especially if we actually want to be competitive/playoff team next season. D is our biggest weakness, losing our best shutdown D for nothing won't help that at all. I really don't see any of our prospects or even anyone on the roster capable of stepping in for Tanev. Myers sure as hell can't. I love Stecher, I actually believe he's better than Myers in his own zone, but he's as good as gone. Benn could be moved for a 5th or waived and I'm pretty sure Fanny is UFA. Leaves room for Tree, Rafferty and Joulevi or Breeze. Breeze could be moved, he's young and showing promise as a Tanev type dman, but he's not ready to fill that role in the NHL. Bottom pairing/#7. I'm unsure of Chatfield and Sautner's contract status, but they'll be vying for NHL jobs too, probably not in Van though. Rathbone could surprise, but I doubt we'll see Lind in anything more that a few games if he's called up. Hopefully Loui can be a compliance by out and Baer can be taken off the books somehow. I thought both Graovac and Bailey looked pretty good this year which makes Rooster good trade bait, and we know Big Mac is a gamer and will most likely be on the roster moving forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Benning has a plan and he's sticking with it. A team needs a good mix of players to provide leadership and experience and they need youthful enthusiasm. Benning has that now so he's not just cutting bait with vets unless they are pushed out by younger players. We can go down the depth chart and there are players who you can move and players you can't. 2 groups. Next, you pick the players from the players who you can move the ones that you want to keep and prioritize the list. Then you try and fit under the cap. The wild card is the possibility of a compliance buy out. The league has used this before to help teams fit under the cap so there's a possibility that they go there again. So the list of players who you can't move right now might change. But before the season is declared over, we have no idea what the cap will be. So there are unknowns and they need to plan ahead to be able to react to the various scenarios. I'm not going to try and do Benning's job here but to give you the idea.... The cap has to be followed so players who the move along from are clearly not just the bottom of the priority list. There are players off the list who could take spots on the list like Rafferty or Tryamkin etc Can't move list: Eriksson (NMC) Edler (NMC) Myers (NMC) Ferland (NMC) Sutter (who wants him? I think Benning has been trying.....maybe he should be in the other list) Can move list: Hughes Pettersson Markstrom Horvat Miller Toffoli Boeser Tanev Beagle Pearson Demko Gaudette Stecher Virtanen Motte Fantenberg Benn MacEwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Marky really wants to stay a Canuck, then, I am sure he sees the way to get around loosing Demko. A hand shake agreement and Marky gets to play on a contender. But I see your point that it is only as good as The general manager that is in control. There is risk, for sure. I agree in the rest, except Tanev, who I think there would be lots of teams that want an exclusive chance at Tanev....the trade gives them that...….not much value in a 3 and a 4th I don't see the obstacle, like you do. 3 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: If there are 2 compliance buyouts then I hope we buy out Eriksson and Roussel.

Was Yzerman a veteran when he was named Captain at 21? What about Landeskog when he was given the 'C' by the Avalanche at the wise old age of 19? I'm not denying that Jake is a great player, but since when does good play make one a veteran? You're talking about two entirely different things with Virtanen. He is a good player, but I wouldn't say he's a veteran. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtanen is will be in his draft+7 next season - he is nearing 300 NHL games. Some GMs/scouts say at around 300 NHL games you know what a player is about. Weisbrod uses 300 games as threshold for a successful NHL career - in last year's pre-draft video he was saying that in any draft there are less than 30 players who reach 300 NHL games.

Like I said, age is a factor for me too. Miller isn't much older so I'd hesitate to call him a veteran as well, but at 27, he's definitely starting to enter that territory. At 34, Beagle's been around a while and of course his minutes will be a bit lower given his usual 3rd/4th line usage. I wouldn't necessarily call Horvat fresh-faced young gun, but I'd hesitate to classify him as a veteran at just 24 (almost 25). He's sort of in-between for me. Either way, it's just semantics at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
