Tryamkin can play both sides. I agree we could use a high end RD prospect, but Rafferty has performed very well in his first pro year and Woo's lack of production doesn't dictate his value as a player. Woo is a defence first player that can play physical and chip in a few points. The exact type of a player we need to pair with Hughes in the future

Rathbones a great prospect Hughes, Woo, Rathbone and Juolevi should be a great core for the future. If Tryamkin can step in as a RD we have a future defensive core that could be elite

Haven't watch so can't speak directly too that, but I have heard he has deferred to Veterans so far that have been producing instead of shooting himself. I believe his shot rate per game is only 1.5. Keep in mind he's still learning and had a rough year last year that would have hurt his confidence. Also its not like all the players are playing well down there currently, guys like MacEwen are also really struggling to put pucks in the net as well.

[GDT] Preds @ Nucks Nov 12 2019 7pm Pacific - Watch live on SNP
RetroCanuck replied to xereau's topic in Canucks Talk
Yep, Leivo has looked real poor this year. Id like to give Virt a run in that spot. He plays his best on the left side and has been playing good physical hockey recently. Honestly Greens line choices and consistent changing is what will be the death of him. -
Hopefully all of those with the exception of Podz will be here next year

Perhaps, I think its more of a tunnel vision thing. He's not much of a play maker and more of a skilled scorer with good hands. If he learns to read the ice and his teammates more I think he could become elite. Hopefully he's not a Yakupov

PREDICT THE SCORE CONTEST: Predators @ Canucks November 12th 2019
RetroCanuck replied to goalie13's topic in Canucks Talk
3-1 Preds -
Disagree, if he wants to make it to the bigs then he has to do the high percentage play. His other goal from behind the net was different because he had few other options and wasn't in a prime shooting area
-
I don't dislike this, but in a 1-1 game take the shot from the slot and put your team up top. No point showboating
-
For me that bolded point is the thing most fans need to remember. This team isn't cup competitive in its current form, in 2-3 years as young guys mature it could be. As for Baer I think he's pretty interchangeable with Leivo and Pearson. Leivo especially hasn't been having a good year so Id be fine if Baer filled his spot for a few games. This should be the year where Vets help to transition our young players, but also make way for them via trade. Schaller for MacEwen, Sutter for Gaudette, Tanev for Juolevi and maybe even Marky for Demko.
-
This is exactly my opinion and very applicable to other players as well. Sutter is having a good year and should have some trade value, while also allowing Gaudette to play important minutes as a centre and grow. MacEwen can replace Schaller. Tram, Juolevi or Rafferty can replace Tanev etc. Let this budding young playoff competitor grow and play over guys that wont be here
-
They're so good that we pulled the goalie!
-
Reality is, if Tram comes over and outplays guys then he will play. If he doesn't then he will sit in the box for a bit. Considering how well he's been playing in the KHL and given his size and play last time here, I can see no reason he can't play just as well as Benn or other bottom 6-7 D. In my opinion you need to trade Tanev this year if his value is high. Your not going to resign such an injury prone player and this isn't a cup competitive team so why not accrue a first or A level prospect. Rafferty may also be able to take a RD spot and deservedly so at that time. Edler-Myers Hughes-Stecher Tryamkin-Benn

[2019-2020] Canucks Prospects Stat Tracker

I sure don't mind. Petey is still a kid but its fun to see his growth along with the rest of our budding core -
[Report] Canucks recall Oscar Fantenberg
RetroCanuck replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Well, Sautner's hurt. Time to call up Juolevi -
Boucher has been given a lot of opportunities up here and hasn't been able to transition his game. I think Goldy or Baer gets called up, but there are also younger players like Gaudette, Lind and MacEwen that would benefit from the opportunity more.
-
Agreed, we all talk about Eriksson far too much
-
Agreed, all Im trying to point out is that Perlini clearly still has value and could be a very good player going forward. The nice issue for the Canucks is that even now they have serviceable NHL players and young players still wanting to prove themselves in the AHL. Gaudette, Baertschi, Goldy and MacEwen could all use some NHL minutes right now.
-
So if Leivo can fetch us a prospect equivalent to or better then Regula then I think he should be traded now Disagree?
-
This^. Not having some control or even the ability to advise teams as to how to place and utilize their players is a major drawback. Especially considering how high of a pick Pods was. Podz for Calder though, 2021-22!
-
Well with the way his agent was talking theres a good chance we see him back here next year. But, considering how some bridges seem to have been burnt lets hope he continues to perform well enough that he becomes a valuable trade piece for us
-
I don't dislike Leivo. But, Perlini has the potential to be a 20 goal power forward. Hasn't worked out well in Chicago but a change of scenery could unlock said potential
-
Ill be honest in saying Im not exactly sure what the trade value of either of these players truly is, but I think this has to be close. Brendan Perlini (+Matthew Highmore to even cap) for Josh Leivo + 4th
