If Benning sent Madden and a second to dump Eriksson, there would be a riot. The Toffoli trade is exactly what the Canucks needed to do in order to keep the morale high and the dream alive in light of the Boeser injury. We may not be able to recognize such a hockey move because the Canucks haven’t traded to patch a hole in over a decade. This is a hockey trade that has the potential to payoff massive in the playoffs. Don't forget that Boeser is coming back, maybe even before the playoffs start.

Buchnevich and Skjei sound very much middle of the road a la Chubarov and Krajicek. I think most people have Toffolitis from his days with the Kings as a Canucks killer. It’s important not to water down the current chemistry too much. This team was top of the Pacific not two weeks ago. Toffoli will re-sign.

[Speculation] Canucks interested in Tyson Barrie

In all honesty, and if Tryamkin is indeed coming back, there is absolutely no reason to “upgrade” the D at this juncture. -

Hughes exceeds pretty much every defenseman in the league. He’s third and fourth in all important categories. Comparing any potential incoming player to Hughes is always going to render the same results; Hughes is better than, therefore why bother acquiring said player. -

Barrie is a better D in the West. He’s lost in the East. The Toronto market is decimating him. He would probably thrive in the Vancouver market as he has with the Avalanche. Tanev is having a career year and is healthy. Barrie is exactly what the Canucks need. From what I’m reading and seeing in the media, the names thrown around are Stetcher, Gaudette, Juolevi and DiPietro. Toronto has major work ethics problems at this juncture. There is even talk of whether Tavares was the right choice for Captain. Give me a break. They got rid of a coach because of the same problems that resurfaced under Dubas’s preferred pick for coach. With Markstrom-Demko, Vancouver is set in net for years. Yes Markstrom will re-sign. TOR Stetcher DiPietro VAN Barrie -

They’re pretty tough. They’ve been showing it. And we have a GM that went to work when it was time to do so and got a replacement for a key role to a run by replacing Boeser with Cup winning Toffoli. I do hope that this is understood; a Cup winner on the front line. Adding Simmonds would be like having Ferland return. But without worry of head injury........ on our side.... When this team is healthy, I believe it is a very good playoff team with as much chance of going all the way as any other team in this new NHL of parity amongst fellow organizations. Add a Boeser return and even a Tryamkin return and the sky’s the limit for this team. Juolevi may be good one day. But I think his status as an untested 5OA16 is currently much higher than his current value to the Canucks as his chances of making this team is now measured by the arrival of Hughes. In New Jersey, on a rebuilding team, go for it kid. Juolevi was supposed to be part of Vancouver’s T4D but with the Myers, Benn and Fantenberg signings, the depth chart is as good as any, which still feature Tanev and Edler. I want one of those three first picks. VAN Simmonds 1st ‘20 (VAN) NJD Juolevi Baërtschi 3rd ‘20 (VAN) It’s easier to recoup a second and a third round at the draft than a 1st. As for the 1st, it’s a second chance for Benning at redeeming an early lost pick and turn it into another Pettersson, Hughes, Podkolzin type of player. -

Anyone wonders why Beagle is on this team? Hughes is 20 years old. -

Regardless of whose names we’re throwing around in the kitchen, come playoffs, Simmonds commands much more respect than an unknown player like MacEwen. Not saying anything against MacEwen as I do like his game. But Simmonds on a team cannot be ignored. -
