You guys are right that we should not be trading our 1sts in our rebuilding phase and JB has said that also.
Maybe he swings some deal such as Virtanen, Stecher, and a 2nd in 2020?
I do agree with you that Risto would be much more suited for us with his size and other skills.
I think the price would be huge IF he is even available. On a perfect team you would have him and a guy like Barrie for the offensive side of things.
1. There is no asking price for him. They are not trying to trade him.
2. Trouba's contract is almost up.
3. Risto still has a number of years left at a reasonable rate.
Supposedly the goal would be to clear cap space to sign Josi and go for Duchene in UFA.
So they would not want any of that other than picks probably.....and prospects.
Haha not a chance. Buffalo doesnt really want to trade him.
They said they only will if someone over pays. For us that would be boeser, our 1st, and OJ.
No chance. lol
Edit: nice first post
Alot of Canuck fans think that is too much. Most Avs fans think they should get Horvat and a 1st.
So it is probably close to what a real deal will be. No one likes it.
So it is gonna be Virtanen, Stecher, and 2020 1st for Barrie?
That is a lot. If that does happen, we better hear of an extension pretty quickly so Canuck fans don't freak out lol.
Edit: maybe we get a 3rd back.
650 just stated Canucks chatted about Nick Leddy from NYI and their 23rd overall pick and a + for the Canucks 10th overall.
They supposedly also chatted about moving up to Buffalo's 7th overall this year.
Edit: not sure how Leddy would fit in being a LD. I guess Edler 1st pairing, Leddy 2nd pairing, Hughes sheltered on 3rd pairing.
Justin Faulk RHD from Carolina apparently in play now. 1 year let on his deal. Talks with Carolina not going well.
Would cost less than Barrie and Subban. Maybe that is a possibility???
Where is everyone getting this whole narrative about Subban's own team mates not liking him? Carey Price loved him and so did some other Canadians. Rinne and other Preds love him.
I get he has one of those "out there" personalities but that has nothing to do with him not being a good team mate. Weird what people start parroting without any real substance....
