  1. Canucks had a sit down dinner with 5 prospects those players being Benson, Willander, Barlow, Woods and Danielsson. Start liking one of these players because I’m thinking it’s probably one of these guys!
  2. Instead of using our 6 mill in free agency it might be a smarter play to get a good 3C or a 2nd 3rd pairing D from a cap strapped team. Not giving cap back is an asset in its own these days.
  3. These boys want to compete and JT is still a good player. There will be money to sign those guys with keeping JT Miller. They’re already making decent money so when they’re up it’s only a 3-4 million raise for each. After this next season we’re out from Myers, Beauvillier and Pearson. That’s like 13+ million in cap space. Should easily be enough to give Pettersson and Hronek raises. Then the year after that Boeser and Poolman gives you another 9 million. There’s money for when these guys are up that is if they want to stay. If you start trading away all the good players to mortgage salary now for their future the team will be worse and they might want to leave because the team keeps taking steps backwards.
  4. Damn I’d have given him 2.5 1 year to be our 3C. Would have logged more points on our roster. He should have tested FA.
  5. Trade JT Miller and surely Pettersson would ask for a trade. We’d be taking a step back. Pettersson has already stated wanted to play for a winning team. Can’t see him wanting to extend long term through his prime with us looking to retool some more.
  6. I mean I’d think about trading for him if he had term. He’s got 1 year left and then he’s going to want a huge contract. Don’t think we can afford to pay another LD the price he’s going to be asking for.
  7. Trade Garland to Columbus for Adam Boqvist (young RD with potential buried in depth) also saves another 2 mill. Sign Nosek (Faceoff specialist) to fight Aman for 3C loser gets 4C. Then get Soucy for the 2nd pair LD spot (in a pinch he can also play the right side). After all these moves we’d still have some money leftover but why spend it all right up. Heck we might even be able to weaponize it for once.
  8. High risk high reward pick with Dragicevic. His offensive potential could make him the best defenceman in the draft. Forward converted into a dman and you can tell. If he can keep improving on his defence I think he could have the potential to be one of the steals of the draft!
  9. There’s a lot of names we still can’t afford on that list. Unless we still plan on getting rid of another contract like Garland, Boeser or Beauvillier. Need to get a LD a RD and maybe even a 3C all with under 6 mill in cap space.
  10. Replace him with Soucy. He could be good value. Left handed but can also play on the right side.
  11. Sean Monahan could be a great pickup if all he can get is a cheap 1 year deal. Good at faceoffs and has put up points before. Even if he doesn’t put up a ton of points he still produces great for a 3C. Just tell him look what playing in our offence did for Bo Horvat. It’s up to him but he could play a similar role here if he can earn it. We can help each other.
  12. Jim Benning “our defence prospect pool is weak we’re going to upgrade that” drafts for need Juolevi over BPA Tkachuk. Also Jim Benning BPA and also a defenceman Nic Hague falls to our pick 33 and he takes a winger in Kole Lind instead.
  13. lol my thoughts exactly! They have more cap space than we do. We need to dump cap just to fill out our roster. Likely need to trade a guy for nothing or buy a guy out.
  14. Just think the better trade is Garland for Boqvist. Feel like Peeke is what he is but with Boqvist the injuries have held him back and he still has top 2 potential. But it’s like us building up our winger depth and while I think Podkolzin is good enough to play in our middle 6 he’s in the AHL. Boqvist won’t get the opportunity especially with their other young guys knocking on the door.
  15. Riccio and Shah say Peeke could just be another Poolman. Don’t know why people think he’s so special here. I don’t think he’s Poolman but I’m rather get Boqvist. Sure Peeke is big and right handed but his price is probably at its highest. I’d rather a young guy with top 4 potential that’s been so unlucky with injuries his trade value is probably at its lowest. Boqvist should be the guy we target. I doubt we’re in on either with our cap space situation.
  16. When you try to balance their d line they have more of a need for a bigger steady body on the backend like Peeke but Boqvist on the 3rd pair doesn’t make a ton of sense especially stunting Jiricek from making the roster. If it were me Peeke would be the guy I’d keep to balance out Columbus’ d corp. Boqvist I feel like is the easier ask. He should be attainable and is a great buy low target.
  17. Get Boqvist still think if he can sort out the injuries he could become a 50 point dman. He’s an all time low trade value. If they have cap send them Garland if not then Hoglander and a pick.
  18. CBJ traded for Severson’s rights and signed him to a long term contract. This is the time to steal Boqvist before he stops getting injured and turns it around. With our cap situation these are the targets we need to acquire and hope to hit on. Something like Boqvist for Hoglander straight up or swing one of our 3rd round picks on it.
  19. I mean obviously it would be nicer to get that upgrade but cap space is our enemy. We’re already over and have 3 spots to fill. Getting a Compher, Rodrigues or Colton we’d need the forward moved to be Boeser. If it’s Beauvillier or Garland that probably isn’t enough cap going out to fit one of those names in along with the other holes in the roster.
  20. Nosek big body good at faceoffs. If he’s cheap maybe get him and let him battle with Aman for the 3rd line.
  21. Forever in cap hell. I think he’s too rich for what we have to spend. We’d likely need to shed one of Beauvillier, Garland and Boeser along with Myers just to fit Severson and all the other roster holes we have. It already seems impossible to clear just 1 guy.
  22. Very true. I just don’t think some people see the value in just moving up 4 spots. I’d rather a chance at one of Benson, Reinbacher, Moore or ASP over Danielson, Yager, Sale and Gulyayev. If the price was taking a 4.25 million dollar 3rd liner that I can then flip at the trade deadline 50% retained for a 3rd or 4th round pick I’d do that deal.
  23. Nashville fans on HFboards not liking the trade. I think come draft when they see the player available they’d change their minds. It’s only 1 year of Beauvillier who is a decent player. You’d have him for half the year and you’d be able to get assets for him by trading him with retention at the trade deadline. If my team has cap space I’d move up in this sort of deal.
  24. I mean he’s been in the league for 4 years and 2 teams have given up on him and he had a decent year last year in that of a 3rd line center where previous years it was looking like he’d be out of the league soon. If it’s the hold up on moving up from 15 to 11 it’d be irresponsible to not entertain it. It’s almost the equivalent of us wanting to move up 4 spots in the draft and the holdup is somebody is asking for Hoglander. Do you entertain that?
