  1. Will Borgen is in the rumour mill and is a RFA. https://www.nhltraderumors.me/2023/06/seattle-kraken-rumors-defenseman.html Conor Geekie didn't perform to the expected level yet and needs more development and is signed for 918k over the next two years
  2. To Vancouver: Will Borgen, Morgan Geekie To Seattle: Conor Garland Vancouver picks up a young RH defensemen that plays the body and is more of a stay at home. Morgan Geekie is a project that could turn into something. He played 3rd line minutes but was never really impactful. However at 24 years old he could still become a big bodied 3rd line centre with some coaching
  3. So currently Nashville has Foote, Fabbro, Carrier and Lauzon who has played the right side this year at times. With the addition of Livingstone that is a lot of men on the right side for Nashville and does it make one of these defensemen available? LAUZON
  4. To New Jersey Devils: Bo Horvat To Vancouver Canucks: Damon Severson, Michael McLeod, Reilly Walsh
  5. At this point I think I would rather keep Bo Horvat over JT Miller and trade Miller to LA who could use a 2nd line centre to allow them to move Danault to their 3rd line: To LA: JT Miller and Danila Klimovich To Vancouver: Sean Walker, Helge Grans and Alex Turcotte
  6. Garland for Matt Roy Myers for Lassi Thomson and a 2nd Pearson for Ethan Bear
  7. They did add Ty Nelson in the draft but I think you are right that Tyler Myers would look good on the right side and they do have the cap space to add him.
  8. Will Borgen represents and intriguing option for a potential RH Dman target that we may be able to buy low. He is 6’3 205lbs defensive minded with a mean streak that is just breaking into the NHL. Seattle currently has a wealth of defensemen with upcoming prospects like Cale Fleury so it may not cost as much to pry him away from Seattle. Seattle may covet some experienced wingers like Tanner Pearson to go along with their young centres. So a trade may look something like: To Vancouver: Will Borgen, 3rd Round Pick To Seattle: Tanner Pearson
  9. But the Vancouver market has been historically very kind to young prospects?
  10. Could they be trying to trade him and get some value back in a young RH dman that is also a prospect?
  11. Maybe do a little homework first before replying. Bailey is bigger, stronger, faster, scored more points in Utica and was a 2nd round draft pick. It’s okay for people to be upset at us losing a prospect but I disagree that he is NHL ready.
  12. It’s not a bad thing that he isn’t ready yet to contribute at an NHL level it just sucks for us that he doesn’t get to develop in Abbotsford
  13. No one called him elite he is just an NHL player and Gadjovich isn’t yet
  14. He has promise and with the guys we still have in camp he still isn’t better than DiGiuseppe, Bailey, Lockwood or Petan. Yes those guys are coming back and yes they will be key members of our team because of what they provide.
  15. Speed is the new NHL and it does win games but I ask again where does he fit in our lineup: Garland-Pettersson-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Höglander Dickinson-Miller-Podkolzin Di Giuseppe-Sutter-Motte He isn’t better then anyone on our 3rd or 4th line here. He wasn’t better then Lockwood in camp and he isn’t as strong and physical as Bailey who also showed the scoring touch and has some NHL experience.
  16. Go ahead and throw Gadjovich on the Penalty kill then remind me why we have guys like Di Giuseppe on our team.
  17. Where does he fit in our current lineup? Getting an “A” for effort doesn’t guarantee you a job in the NHL. Sure he was faster than last year but certainly not faster than Bailey, Lockwood and Podkolzin. This is the best league in the world and positions just aren’t handed out no matter how much you like the player. He seems like an incredible person, hard worker and has some upside so I hope he carves out a career in the NHL but we have been waiting to be in this position where it is difficult to make the team.
  18. Only 12% of 3rd Round Draft picks make the NHL. Perhaps DiPietro and Klimavich are our 12%.
  19. He was a stand in for Boeser yesterday and it’s very safe to assume that “PP1 Chaisson" doesn’t take the place of Hughes, Pettersson, Horvat, Boeser or Miller. He was basically a pylon yesterday.
  20. Klimovich heading to Abbotsford as well
