Yup, I was sky high on us "needing" a d-man. This is why I don't get paid the big bucks. Lol.

[Signing] Capitals re-sign Nic Dowd
JeremyCuddles replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
His contract expires a year after QH's ELC expires. And I am sure that 3mil we are giving Beagle is hardly crippling us cap wise. Find something legit to worry about. -
[Proposal] - Trade for 6th or 7th OA
JeremyCuddles replied to Seannnp's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Essentially trading Virtanen for a 2nd round pick that at best provides what Virtanen does. The odds of us getting a "game changer" with that 2nd rounder is pretty slim and more than likely is a slightly worse Virtanen. The difference between the guy at 6 or 7 is negligible to the guy we'll get at 10. The 5-10 spot is pretty wide open as it usually is every year. I don't see the advantage to giving up an additional 3rd round pick to move up and get a guy with a skill set similar to the guy we could have gotten at 10 while keeping our 3rd rounder and maybe finding another gem like Tryamkin or Madden. On top of essentially trading Virtanen for a 2nd round pick. In my opinion we give up more than we are getting. 1st + 3rd rounder = 6/7th overall (like I said the difference in player in minimal at best) Virtanen > 2nd rounder (Armchair GMs love going through their book of hindsight and say "LOOK WE COULDA HAD DUNCAN KEITH!!!" but that's not usually how it works) -
2019 NHL Entry Draft in Vancouver, BC
JeremyCuddles replied to Qwags's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Anybody wondering if Detroit will trade down and draft a goalie, specifically Spencer Knight? Sportsnet had him ranked 19 in March. I say this mostly on the chance that Byram is gone before their pick. If Byram is on the board at 6 there's no way Detroit passes on him. But if he's gone I think they'd be better served trading down, getting a goalie and another pick. Although never hurts to have more centers. One of Turcotte, Zegras or Dach should be available at 6. Just looking at the top 10 teams and wondering who is most likely to trade down. For funsies. -

Byram at the latest goes to Detroit at 6. Could even see Colorado snag him up. Would look awfully nice next to Makar. Then again snag a mid to late 1st round d-man. Go center with the top 4. Two birds one stone. If they don’t LA or Detroit will surely grab him. I say just stay at 10. One of Krebs, Boldy, Caufield will be there. Soderstrom/Broberg/York if they’re feeling a d-man. No need to give up assets when it’s possible to draft the best d-man with a 10-15 pick. Look where Boston got McAvoy. -
[Discussion] Making a deal with the Devil!
JeremyCuddles replied to SuperJr's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Draft Soderstrom. Tell Hughes to do 4 years of college. Sign him for free. Then. Profit. -
Can find elite talent anywhere in the first. Look at where Pastrnak, Barzal and Boeser were drafted. With that said, I'd rather Benning have the pick of the litter rather than hoping his guy drops to him.

We’re moving up in the draft and getting the best player, hard to tell if it’s fair. My gut says they say no. Nothing we’re giving up is really a loss. Hutton is 3rd pairing guy, expendable and an RFA, Leivo is a 3rd liner, Demko is unproven and our pick is worse than the one they are giving up.

Schneider + 1st overall for Demko + 10th overall + Jake Virtanen

Voynov should get a visit from the Equalizer.

Taylor Hall is the real tank commander, we should try trade for him. -
[Proposal] Demko for Ristolainen
JeremyCuddles replied to aGENT's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I am hard pressed to say no to this deal. I like Demko, but if Marky can continue his current play permanently I'd say Demko is somewhat expendable. Especially with DiPietro in the pipeline. Kids a bit of a stud. Undersized for today's goalies but he's got heart and he battles. Risto has defensive struggles, so that's kind of worrying. But offensively he sounds pretty okay. He's got a lot of Dzone starts. Maybe coming here and playing in a more offensive role alongside Hughes or Juolevi or something will help hide those defensive woes. 235 hits, he's no slouch physically. Edit: But yeah. Something tells me a relatively unproven backup, albeit a good young kid, is not enough to get a deal done. But who really knows? -
Current Canucks' UFA/RFA-what would you do? (Discussion)
JeremyCuddles replied to bigbadcanucks's topic in Canucks Talk
Give Boeser 6x6. Extend Markstrom for 4 more years at 4.5mil. May seem like it's a little on the low side, but that's why you extend him early. If he plays next season, all of next season, the way he played the 2nd half of this season he'd very likely ask for 5.5ish. As of now you can negotiate from the "well you have half a good season in your career". Most everyone else will get the bridge or minor league contract. -
I think the point being made is the Canucks aren't trading a ton of draft picks out and receiving none in return. 2018: 6 picks in 7 rounds 2017: 8 picks in 7 rounds 2016: 6 picks in 7 rounds 2015: 7 picks in 7 rounds 2014: 7 picks in 7 rounds Wanna know how many times we drafted in the first two rounds? 10 times. So what we are trading out we are getting back pretty evenly. People make it sound like we never draft in the first two rounds. One of those 4 second rounders you are crying about wasn't even ours. We got it in the Garrison trade. Edit: and Bieksa got us a 2nd rounder.

If I had money to spare I'd donate. Big ups to those that can and do donate though.

[Discussion] next yr and draft discussion
JeremyCuddles replied to canuktravella's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Connolly's production is insane for a guy with only 2 PP points. 13 minutes of TOI. 50% ozone time. Who does this guy play with? This guy could ask for 4-5 mil and I don't think it'd be unreasonable. Lol. -
How much weight does Petey gain over the Summer?
JeremyCuddles replied to *Buzzsaw*'s topic in Canucks Talk
If he's not 230 in September I want him gone.
