UKNuck96 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 We have a few players coming into RFA which we probably won’t want to qualify, we are also needing to fill a RHD gap. proposal - trade rights to virtanan for rights to Philippe Myers sign Myers for no more than 2.5 mill. My understanding is he doesn’t qualify for arbitration either so might be able to get a better value. yes he is a project and not a finalised deal, but he is a big body RHD who seems to be projecting in the right areas and in a couple of years when we shed the veteran contracts we have should be starting to peak. also well aware it’s a trade which swaps a 1rd pick for an undrafted but for me that is irrelevant vs team need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'd be better off paying a bit more for someone like Cernak instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a good old fashioned BC boy. however the concussion risk this early in his career was why I steered clear and went for P.Myers instead Edited September 17, 2020 by UKNuck96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Myers played over 20 minutes in the post-season. He’s their only young right shot D. Niskanen also shoots right but will turn 34 this year and is up in a year. Would be highly surprising if Philadelphia lets him go. They are also full on the top-9 wings. Lindblom is back healthy. Virtanen has arbitration rights which Myers does not. The position he plays, being a RHD, not having arbitration rights makes him far more valuable than Virtanen. He hasn’t been scratched or called out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was their 4th most used D this post-season. It’s far harder to find a D especially a RHD over a winger. Gostisbehere though has been in trade rumours for a while now. He was a scratch for several games this post-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtanen, 24, 6'1, 220 lbs RW power forward 20 goal scorer and lots of teams see Jake as a 20-25 G guy -- 45 points, Change could wake Jake up?? Jake has a bright future just not in Vancouver... Example - Burakovsky, 24, 6'3 - trade to Colorado last season new life 58 GP - G 20 -- 45 points...This player did nothing in 4 years with Washington?? Jake will do the same with new team,..Jake will turn out to be a top 6 forward with Flyers just needs wake up..Won't happen in Vancouver.. I can see Flyers making this deal Myers 23, 6'5 , only 72 NHL games..... Make this deal..Jim Benning exciting deal...

Ballisticsports. Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Surprised the Canucks released RD Matt Brassard, especially if they plan on promoting D to the NHL He could have filled farm spots Edited September 17, 2020 by ba;;isticsports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brassard was a long shot. Plus they were at 48 of 50 contracts so didn’t have the space to fit him in Edited September 17, 2020 by UKNuck96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
