Kobayashi Maru

Just make Tanev part of the trade then the cap is not much of an increase. With that being a wash we could make the trade and also sign Myers: Edler Ristolainen Hughes Myers Joulevi Stecher now that is a playoff looking D and then add Tryamkin and we are set for years.

You can’t rely on players being available next year. Too much changes. Myers is interested and fills a big need on D. You take the sure thing and take a step this year. I don’t think you put a pause because someone may be available next year as a UFA. The fact that he is actually in Van vs the other cities likely means we get first crack at making it work. He would provide a ton of d stability: Edler Myers Hughes Tanev Joulevi Stecher By end of year: Edler Myers Hughes Tryamkin Joulevi Stecher Tanev traded to recoup a draft pick we lost for J.T. Miller. Just think it could be essentially J.T. Miller for Tanev if we can recoup a late first or early second at the deadline.

Not only does that have top end skill but there is some serious grit on lines 2-4. Podkolzin can come in and take Pearson’s spot in a couple years.

Seems like a good pick. We must be signing all the UFA d men for long term contracts. Weird to non at least pick a d man out of the three 6ths. Well I trust their scouting so we’ll see how it goes.

I thought it was a typo and missed a pick. That’s crazy. We better have something in the works like this.

Wow that’s it!? I would have done that. We must have something else on the go. Risto!!! Or Barrie as a backup.

Goosebumps watching those highlights. He has all the tools. There is no reason he couldn’t be the best player in this draft. So glad we shot for the moon rather than a safe pick like Soderstrom or Krebs.

Just go all in on Russians and draft Dorofeyev in the second round?

I was confused. Yes Suzuki has high bust potential for sure.

I don’t think he has a lot of bust potential. With the intensity he plays there will always be a place for him. We are just hoping it’s 1st line LW.

Podkolzin is huge. Look at that kids neck! Podkolzin and Tryamkin crush!!!

Now it’s time to sign Panarin. Can you imagine Panarin Pettersson Boeser Podkolzin Horvat Pearson

Love this pick. Top 5 talent with grit, speed and skill. Total package. I think we just added a young Tarasenko to our lineup in a couple years. Great job JB

They got Byram and Newhook. Don’t think they need to trade anybody now. Stacked!

Can Luongo and the Canucks/Panthers mutually terminate the rest of the contract. Luongo loses out on some cash but it was all frontloaded so maybe he does both teams a solid. Unlikely but possible?

That is the package I would want to do for Risto or at least equivalent. This would be a fall back plan but would make us better: Edler Barrie Hughes Myers Joulevi Stecher Hutton thst would certainly be an upgrade but not exactly what I want to do.

Subban over Barrie but Risto over both of them. Few more hours to make it happen Jimbo.

Did he also trade Seguin away and trade for Loui?

Exactly and younger and a better cap hit once Barrie signs. Better in every way.

I’ll take the one who is 6’4 with an edge. I want him on the Canucks by Friday.

Totally agree that will be the ask because it doesn’t make sense for Det for it to be less. Just doesn’t work for us . Now if it’s for Byram specifically you think about it but still not sure.

This is exactly it and we should be good with either option.

Joulevi and 10 for 6? Nope, not me.

But they were bad teams. Buffalo has the potential to be good but they are not. Definitely a trend to look at however. I think it potentially brings his value to acquirable vs untouchable. He is still young and can develop too so I’d take the risk on a 24 year old 6’4 RHD puck mover with an edge. I think I’m just so tired of offence dying with our breakout.

+/- is so tied to the team game and not always the individual. I think we are over-reacting him needing outright sheltering. Ideally we would keep Joulevi and pair them together but Risto and Edler and maybe Risto and Tryamkin would likely be just fine. Hughes Risto if we are down a few. We need several D that can drive the play or our forwards are have no chance.
