[PROPOSAL] VAN - NJD BLOCKBUSTER

But we all know a drunk one that would pick Petey over Jack -
[PROPOSAL] VAN - NJD BLOCKBUSTER
dm_ranger replied to Codez27's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
That's along the lines of what I was thinking. Petey +Hronek +1st or 2nd. The Hughes brothers are a symbol of the future for NJ. I think we would have to pay above market value to get them. -
[Speculation] Canucks exploring Tyler Myers trade
dm_ranger replied to brian42's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Agreed. 50% retained at the trade deadline would only be a cap hit around 1-1.5 million and actual salary only 100-200k. That is actually a great price for him and contending teams would probably be willing to give a 2nd or 3rd for that. -
[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks
dm_ranger replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
It would be hard to do. A good accountant can lower your taxes quite a bit. Many hockey players run charities for example. It would be hard to set a standard that actually got applied to everyone. -
2023 Canucks end of season media availability
dm_ranger replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I totally agree. Which is why I was shocked they brought him out. I wonder who thought good was going to come out of it? They had to know the questions were going to be asked, and they had to know he didn't want to answer them. And he has been out for months. It's not like he has been in the spotlight recently. -
2023 Canucks end of season media availability
dm_ranger replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I found this a strange combination to put out there. Two people recovering from injury who were out most of the season, someone who is great but barely speaks English and Meyers. I thought Myers actually sounded really good, but this seemed like no thought was put into the groupings. -

At the same time, I'm not sure what they should ask him. I was shocked that the Canucks brought him out. What is the media supposed to ask, what do we expect him to say? It was brutal to watch. That part just felt like another mismanagement by the organization regarding Tanner. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Nikita Tolopilo
dm_ranger replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I wonder if Martin and Silovs split nhl backup. I think I heard the idea on sn650. Martin travels as the backup but they call Silovs up for the day to play at home. Then he can split the Abby net with big Nikita. Silovs needs games to develop to much to be a NHL backup and hope to keep developing I think. -
Interesting point on SN 650 yesterday about UFA signings. Who is in our pipeline? Signing a D for a 3-4 year contract makes sense as we have lots of needs and not a lot of top 4 prospects. But 3C? What about Raty? If we are signing a 3C for 3-4 years we remove room for him to grow into that role. Do we need to spend 3-5 million locking up the role for the next few years or do we need someone just for next year? As for budget: Hopefully Myers can be traded and I think Boeser at 1-2 million retained is less painful than an OEL buyout. It = $10 million out and 2 million dead cap for 2 years.

I don't think there is a need. It's like Ferland. He isn't playing again. LTIR for the rest of the contract I suspect.

[Report/Rumour] Ethan Bear Contract Talks
dm_ranger replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I hope we keep him, but pay him as a 5th D. Cheap for top 4 and well paid for both 2 pair. If we have 2 RD better than him I think we are really solid on the right side, but him moving up due to injuries or sharing the bottom 2 spots on RD would be fine. -
I included the 2nd. But if I added the 1st we paid I would have to add the 1st we got as well. Since it was the same one I just left it out of both.

Fixed, I missed the Kravtsov for Lockwood trade.

Out In Roster: Bo Schenn Lazar Stillman Prospect: Lockwood Wyatt Kalynuk Picks 2023 2nd. Roster: Beauvillier Hronek Kravtsov Prospect: Raty Bloom Picks 2023- 3rd 2023 – 4th 2023 – 4th 2024 – 4th I actually like how this lines up. It seems like significant effort to improve and address some needs. The doubt is more along the lines of the amount left to do: Boes, Meyers at minimum need to be moved this summer, if only for cap reasons.

[Proposal] Potential Schenn trades
dm_ranger replied to Coconuts's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I like these ideas, but I wonder if we overvalue what he will get. Friedman was stating that he expected a 3rd or high 4th as a return and the Canucks will resign if they can't get that. That seems really low to me, I would resign him if we can't get a second, but I do wonder if our expectations are inflated. -
I think the paper refers to he doesn't actually play in the minors. He stays with the big club but can't play. Not sure though, but I thought I heard something like that.

[proposal] MIN - VAN Rebuild Move
dm_ranger replied to Angry Goose's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Actually I would think about trading Kuz and Schenn to the wild. They have lots of cap space this year, lots of prospects and picks and no cap space next year. They can't resign either of them for next year, which means they will both hit FA and we can resign them. Especially if we have a handshake agreement in place before hand. -
I wonder if they will try to convert him to a center in the A. If he could win faceoffs, he could be a great 3rd line center.
