Thats because two would be LTIR which would be far more enticing for the hawks given they get Beau and Garland. Id rather trade those two seperately to extract as much value as possible. OEL Garland 11th OA for 19th OA 35th OA 3rd round pick

So how do you avoid bloated contracts at free agency? How do you improve the team without free agency? Let me guess, build through the draft, correct? What in your opinion is a bloated contract? So you would not pay 5-6m per for Gavrikov? Or 3-4m for Barbashev? Or 5m for Graves?

That would suggest a rebuild through the prime years of Petey, Hughes and Demko. Cap doesnt mean sh*t if Petey and Hughes no longer want to be here and play through a rebuild. So the goal here is to collect as many picks as possible to have the best prospect pool in the league? We have a bad prospect pool because our prospects have graduated. Petey, Boeser, Hughes, Demko, Podz, Hoglander will all be with the big club next year. We may not have blue chip prospects but we do have Johansson Pettersson Hirose Kudraytsev Lekerremaki Silovs 11th OA Not horrible in my opinion but definitley room improvement which will happen over the next 1-2 seasons. I seriously do not undertsand the logic behind trading away good young players for picks to draft younger players with the hopes that they become the players you initially traded.

Like the other bloated contracts hes signed? Sorry cant recall which ones, some help please?

Further clarification please? Where did he spend where he had the option to do otherwise? Miller? I would say that the miller deal was a good deal for him based on what he brings to the team and how hes played since joining the Canucks aside from the beginning of this season. Mikhayev? Kuzmenko? Team is much better with them than without them and replacement players of similar ilk likely cost much more. Any mistakes that Alvin made (Stillman), he cut his losses quickly. I think our cap situation is 98% Benning's fault and is a work in progress. Also think that PA is doing the best he can with the hand hes been dealt. I also think that an additional 4m cap space is very advantageous for the Canucks even if we spend on an FA. The benefits are apparent on the increased strength of our position to now deal players that many teams will need to reach the cap floor (Myers) but now also have the freedom to take on players like Garland that have term and money attached.

On a few other forums, there are some that believe he is a sure-fire top 10 talent. Others believe he could go as high as 5. Personally dont see it, but speaks volumes to his potential and the end result after a solid development journey. Wood or Reinbacher for me unless Alvin thinks ASP is the 2nd coming of Hughes.

a few spots between a late 2nd and early 3rd could be the difference between who you covet and who you would settle for

Reinbacher ASP Wood Leonard Wallinder Moore Yager

I trade 2 3rds for an early to mid 2nd every day of the week. Quality over quantity. However, if we could trade a 3rd, 4th for a 2nd rounder twice, that would be ideal. 3rd, 4th,4th for a early-mid 2nd 3rd and 4th for a late 2nd

New list (again) Wood Reinbacher ASP Moore

After watching a few more videos and doing some light reading, its become quite evident that the top two players for the Canucks should be Wood or Reinbacher. Just imagine the 2nd coming of Todd Bertuzzi playing with Petey and Kuzmenko...West Coast Express v2

I think we accomplish that in this years draft with the 11OA and possibly in later rounds or the following year. If they can address the top 4 this off season and draft a center in the draft. They will focus on drafting more centers next season.

Sign Graves now that Gavrikov seems to be close to signing an extension with the Kings. Really like Graves and how hes played this year with the Devils. I think he would be perfect. He's a right shot defenseman, no? Hughes and Graves OEL and Hronek Hirose and Burroughs

Lets hope and pray Hronek can get OEL playing better. All OEL has to do is concentrate on the defensive side of the game and leave the zone exits and offensive rushes to Hronek. The less OEL has to do the more effective I think he can be. IF OEL can get back to form, I wouldnt mind running something like this: Hughes ???? OEL Hronek Hirose Burroughs

Owner of the Dallas Stars was asked on Donnie and Dhali if he thought the Canucks should enter a rebuild and he said no and I agree. You do not rebuild a team when you have players like Pettersson, Hughes, Demko, Kuzmenko and Miller. If you do want to rebuild, you move every single one of the core and draft players hoping they become who you traded. Makes no sense in my mind. What if the drafted players dont pan out? Another rebuild? Start over again in hopes of finally drafting a Huges, Petey and Demko? Sounds stupid doesnt it? If Hoglander and Podkolzin can take the next step and we can find another top 4 defenseman and 3C, there isnt much missing unless some feel Petey, Hughes and Demko are not good enough to lead us to the Finals.

Pearson and Poolman on LTIR. Im confident Myers gets moved at end of September as well. Garland and Beauvillier will both me moved at the deadline next season. Next year we may be chasing the playoffs but its going to be another year tinkering and experimenting where we try to assemble the roster we want to compete for the foreseeable future. Only thing we should be doing in the offseason is looking for a partner for Hughes or Hronek (i prefer to Sign Graves or Gavrikov and draft ASP/Reinbacher) and shedding salary from the current roster. In 2024-2025 Kuzmenko Pettersson Hoglander Mikhayev Miller Boeser Karlsson Raty Podkolzin ???? Aman Joshua Hughes Reinbacher/ASP Gavrikov/Graves Hronek Petterson Kudraytsev Burroughs

Any Canadian team except for the Flames and Leafs. At this point, aside from those two teams, I just want a Canadian team to bring the cup back up North where it belongs.

More than Pettersson, Hughes and Demko? You do realize that all 3 players have the potential to be top 5 players at their positions in the entire league, right? I would argue all 3 are top 10 already. Would not be trading all 3 for Bedard or even McDavid - nor could I say that Bedard has anywhere close to the same value as all 3 especially not having played a single NHL game yet. If you could win it all with one player, Edmonton would have a few cups already, yet they have arguably the 1st and 2nd best players in the world and havent won sh*t

Only way Chicago trades him to Vancouver is for a package like: 1st in 2023, 1st in 2024, Podkolzin, Raty, Hoglander, Silovs, Kudraytsev This sets up their rebuild well enough that they could consider moving Bedard should he come out and say he will only play for the Canucks. We would then have to move Miller for defensive help and somehow restock the prospect pool. I think Bedard is going to be a fantastic player but I would not be doing that deal. Rather, I will wait for Bedard to become UFA in 7 years or so along with Celebrini in 8 years. Petey and Hughes will be at the tailend of their primes and will be an absolute spectacle to watch them play together in 2030-2031, the year the Canucks hoist the Stanley Cup.

meh...garland comes off the books and it only costs us a 3rd. Salary cap relief. Cant lose with this one lol

After reading comments on here, watching video clips, reading scouting reports etc, there are only 3 players I would be ecstatic for the Canucks to take at 11 (that would likely be available). Ideally, if these 3 are all available at 11, I could see the Canucks trading down to 14-16 and pick up a 2nd round pick or maybe several mid round picks that could be packaged later. Wood Reinbacher Moore

My preference at 11 Michkov (likely gone) Reinbacher (likely gone) Dvorsky (likely gone) ASP Wood Perreault Moore Danielson Honzek Benson Yager DND Cristall Sale Barlow

Moore?

dont think that would be enough. if my team is worth 3 billion, you could start burning ppl at the stake and I still wouldnt sell LOL. A protest by a few thousand ppl isnt going to convince me to sell a money printing machine.

Just called my bank and unfortunately they said right now is not the best time for me financially to buy the team as it would over extend me a little bit. Now can anyone lend $6 for my hemorrhoid medication? - my accountant said this would over extend me as well.
