Because we want Demko to sign. With Markstrom playing as well as he is Demko may not want to come here if he doesnt for sure see him being the go to guy. Markstrom to florida for the remainder of Luongos contract?
-
Demko has stated his dad is a huge Kings fan so are you sure it was his father? Atleast the Kings and Ducks dont have goalie problems. Then there is the fact of the goalies we have developed over that last few years. I have no doubts about Demko or Boeser signing here.
-
He can teach Chris some offence
-
What about his bro should have got him and traded for pk D. Sedin H. Sedin C. Tanev B. Tanev J. Subban P. Subban One big happy family
-
Hopefully Brandon Tanev is next
-
Should have picked Konecny... Lol!
-
Exactly. Thats why we took Virtanen over Ehlers and Nylander. We need that physicality if we want a cup
-
You should look up Crosby's, or Hall's, or McDavid's, or McKinnon's, or Drouin's... Drouin has elite skill. I just hope Benning thinks better of him then you do. I highly doubt he will ever be traded again, especially not for this cheap.
-
Edlers days here are almost over, if we get Matthews then McCann is much more affordable to package in a trade, the pick or 2 would be something like a 2nd, or a 3rd and 4th so: TO TBL Edler McCann 2nd TO VAN Drouin Or TO TBL Edler McCann 3rd 4th TO VAN Drouin Maybe just Edler and McCann would be enough, if not I wouldn't even hesitate over the pick or 2 to be thrown in. But no I wouldn't trade McCann for him unless we had Matthews to for sure be our #1C down the road.
-
I want him because he has elite potential. He could be a top 10 player in the league some day. As for the attitude problem, he is only a KID, he is immature. His value will never be this low again and whatever team pays up will not regret it, I guarentee it.
-
Drouin has elite potential. You cant just ignore that. Look at how well Seguin is doing for Dallas. He was young and immature once, still kind of is. But we have the Sedins and Horvat to help Drouin come to reality and grow up a bit.

Matthews would be better and allow a lot more options, if we were to get a finn my projected lines for 2020 would be: Laine/Puljujarvi McCann Boeser Baertschi Horvat Virtanen Sedin Sedin Hansen Gaunce Sutter XXXXX Hutton Tryamkin Day Tanev Edler Subban Demko Markstrom Matthews would be a legit #1C and would allow us to trade McCann along with Edler for a very cheap valued (will never be this low again) legit 1st line LW in Drouin. I believe Boeser is a legit 1st line RW so theres our future 1st line. Drouin Matthews Boeser McCann would be traded if we get Matthews IMO. Maybe he gets traded along with Edler to get Drouin, if we get Matthews it becomes a strong possibility IMHO. So lets assume we Trade McCann, Edler, and maybe a pick or 2 for Drouin, here is our 2nd line: Baertschi Horvat Virtanen (already a line in progress) The Sedins will be around by 2020 IMHO, they know they could win a cup here being paid as 3rd liners and I have always believed thats when our best chance at a cup would be. Hopefully Rodin fits with them well and we have an all swedish line, if not Hansen could play there, but I would rather a UFA there. So here is our 3rd line: Sedin Sedin Rodin/UFA/Hansen Our last line would be more of a defensive based line. Gaunce and Sutter are both good defensively. Id like to see Hansen down there with them because he is good defensively and very capable of bringing the best offense out of both Gaunce and Sutter. So here is our 4th line: Gaunce Sutter Hansen/UFA Drouin Matthews Boeser Baertschi Horvat Virtanen Sedin Sedin Rodin Gaunce Sutter Hansen Hutton Tryamkin Day/UFA Tanev Pedan Subban Demko Markstrom Underlined spots could be used in trades or replaced by better prospects signings in the future. Canucks will win a cup by 2020 I can feel it

Matthews

Quick and the kings do! Plus Demko has been a Kings fan so hes gotten a few pointers from watching him
-
Franchise Goalie>Franchise Center Soooooooo.... Demko>McDavid Suck it Oilers!!!
-
Lol I know. Just read the first page of comments and seen that lol
-
We will see soon enough
-
Day has elite potential Virtanen will be a top 6 forward but in my suggested lines hes on the 3rd line so I dont understand why you bothered to say that. How old is Jagr now and then how old will the Sedins be in 2020? I think your wrong sir.
-
I might go to a playoff game! Never realized we were playing Zhukenov!

Drouin Matthews Boeser Baertschi Horvat McCann Sedin Sedin Virtanen Gaunce Sutter Hansen Hutton Tryamkin Day Tanev Pedan Subban Demko Markstrom 2020 CHAMPS!!!

If this is directes at me then u should know ive always liked Vrbata and he is worth 5M if used properly. I just dont like the way hes acted due to not playing with the Sedins. Hes got every right to be possed but hes a proffesional and he should hide his emotions and play for that contract.
-
Ppl seem to assume he was talking about Virtanen. I believe Daniel was reffering to Vrbata while trying to let the young guys know they wont accept a half assed effort. Ppl blow thing way out of proportion here on cdc
-
Ummm Jim Benning drafted Demko the same year he drafted Virtanen, McCann, and Tryamkin... Where were you at?
-
The only really head scratcher trade he has made was the Granlund one. Through trades hes got us: Baertschi - top 6 is written all over this guy. Not bad for a 2nd. Vey - though there isnt really a fit for him on the team with the other centers we have, Vey is a good young player with good potential (just not great). At the time we were desperate for young blood that could play for our team now. So the trade is critisized for Veys play, but those people who still complain obviously didnt watch him since his call up. Id honestly like to see us sign him to 2 years 1.2M and hope that him, Granlund, and Etem can get better than they already are. If we do decide to trade him, at worst I see us getting a 3rd back for him, but would be nice to get our 2nd back or package him with another player to get a better player/prospect. Kesler trade - Bonino, Sbisa, McCann... Great return considering the situation Kesler put JB in. Etem - all we lost was a player we were after giving up on years ago and a meaningless 6th round pick. A+ for this trade. Even if Etem doesnt pan out you have to give JB props for this. Dorsett - a 3rd round pick turn into a guy who mentored Bo very well last year. He is a competitor and thats the kind of player we need for this rebuild. Even though the points arent there and he takes bad penalties, he has heart and determination to give it his all. thats the biggest reason he is here, not his points. Great trade. Signings Miller - questionable cap hit but it is UFA and you do overpay. Lack and Markstrom were both completely unproven and this needed to be done. It was him or Hiller. JB made the right choice IMO. Great guy to mentor Marky Mark. Vrbata - great signing. 31 goals last year and he was arguably our best player last year until the playoffs. Unfortunatly fell victim to our major youth movement. There are a few minor signings as well but they are depth guys so im not going to bother. I dont understand what is so out of whack with JB when it comes to trading? To me it seems hes good at that too. The only thing he needs work on in his ability to negotiate cheaper contracts, but its hard without handing out the NMC/NTC. We were blessed with them at one point, Hamhuis @ 4.5M, Kesler @ 5M, Higgins @ 2.5M, Sedins @ 7M, Edler @ 5M. These were their contract in their prime years (2011). Without those NMC/NTCs you could add 1-3M to them contracts. Sbisa and Dorsett will be gone when their contracts are up. Atleast Dorsett will, Sbisa is a solid defencman IMHO, just not a top 4. Yet.
