  1. pro hockey rumors....just another click bait crap site.....is building up Hutton like he is some top 4 D man free for the taking now that Vancouver is not qualifying him. Haha...what a joke. Eklund level stuff there....
  2. Christian Fischer - had never heard of him. On Arizona, 6'2" 214, only 18 points in 71 games this year. Sounds like Virtanen but not as many points. Not sure where he would fit. I want nothing to do with Perry......yuck
  3. But you compared them. Edit: the strategy is not the same if one player is mediocre and the other seen as a very strong skilled NHLer.
  4. Not fair to compare Guddy and JT Miller imo. Miller is universally seen as a very good top end forward is all facets of the game. Even when we traded for Guddy there were lots of outspoken people who believed he was a relic of the past. There was also the other side who thought it was an ok trade.
  5. Fair enough. A bird in the hand is worth two.... Anyway, no I would not trade Podk for Miller right now.....I don't think. But if you had asked we the night before the draft I would have had to think about it. I probably would not have because we are near the end of the rebuild. But trading a pick one or two years out is a totally different story because it does not seem that tangible yet.
  6. That is a rigged question lol. And I will tell you why. There are so many different circumstances teams are in and they are all at different points in their development that a supposed simple question like that cannot be fairly asked. Right know you know damn well that a lot of the Canuck fan base thinks prospects and 1st round picks mean the world. But back in 2011 when we were contending many of us were fine with using a 1st round pick to win the Stanley Cup. If we were back in 2011 I would have done it in a heartbeat as a player like JT Miller could have put us over the top for the cup. Back then we never could properly get a couple extra top 6 players to get us over the top. Alternatively, in a year or two if Podk is not developing as we hoped or there are questions on whether he would come over, then a team may do that. So yea.....rigged question imo. Plus, our pick we end up giving Tampa could end up being a 15th or 21st or?? We ended up getting Podk, a top 5 pick, at 10 because of the russian factor.
  7. It would be shocking if a team gave him his QO amount. But if so, good luck Ben. Even if he will sign for cheaper I would like to move on from him for a Benn/Nemeth type. Why not? Change is good lol.
  8. I saw this elsewhere: VancouverOttawaAnaheimDallasBuffaloTorontoLA Kings Jets
  9. Things have to give with the plethora of bottom 6 forwards and bottom pairing D we have. Looks like things are starting to move with no QO for either Hutton or Granlund. A couple teams made a couple trades today. We should see a few more in the next 5 days and then a huge amount next Monday. Glad I am off work next Monday to waste the day in front of the tv/computer while the wife gives me dirty looks wondering why we are not doing something during our holiday week haha.
  10. I edited the post. Exactly what you mention. Then we would have an ok top 4 imo. Get some grit on the bottom pair.
  11. Dreger (yes I hate Dreger) says for T.O. to trade Zaitsev T.O. will need to add a sweetener. Would you guys go for a trade of Tanev at 50% for Zaitsev and a 2nd rounder? Edit: Still get myers for no more than 6 x 6. Edler Myers Hughes Zaitsev Nemeth/Benn Schenn
  12. If JT plays 82 games each year for the next four years hitting the 20 goal mark each year, JB wins the deal even if it is a 5-10 pick imo. With a 5-10 pick, most fans would be happy to end up eventually getting exactly what you describe in a player.
  13. Now hfcanucks has created the narrative that Hutton is better than Myers. Oh boy....lol
  14. I would rather just get a ufa big mean guy to take his place....guess that is why they talked or are interested in Nemeth. 6'4" 218 and mean.
  15. Go read their take on Hutton not being qualified. Suddenly Hutton, in hf world, is a top 4 defense man that JB is just letting walk away. Haha...those idiots make me laugh and cry at the same time.
  16. Can you imagine being mediocre at your job so you only get 4 million per year? Damn.....
  17. Your constant negativity is tiring. I don't have time for it. I come here to get info on all things Canucks. I won't read your posts anymore because they provide no information that I find useful. Good luck.
  18. When I read your posts I feel like I am reading hfcanucks where every single thing is doom and gloom and JB is the devil. Some here prefer not to be negative every single time they post. I prefer to remain optimistic which I suppose is why I like this site and think hfcanucks is a cesspool.
  19. Yet he is arguably still better than myers. How are myers number in your opinion?
  20. It is clear Horvat would be Tampa's 4th best forward and he would play in the top 6 without a doubt. JT Miller will be our 4th best forward and he is a centre, so he will play wing just like Horvat would in Tampa. Saying otherwise is disingenuous and just plain wrong. It makes no sense why anyone would even say it.
  21. Tanev only has one year left so we could sweeten the deal by paying some of the cap. I dont know lol....
