[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Captain Canuck #12 replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Not sure why people are assuming a top prospect plus two other players necessarily means the two others have to be roster players? At least one could be a good young player currently playing in the minors, ala Podkolzin or Hoglander. There might also be another prospect included who isn't necessarily a team's top prospect, such as an A or B+ prospect, as opposed to a second A+ prospect. -

Sound goods, just replace Donato with Borgen though -- fits our immediate needs better. -
2022-23 Abbotsford Canucks Thread
Captain Canuck #12 replied to CRAZY_4_NAZZY's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Cool! Now that's the kind of fight I like to see out of our teams, especially if we can't get the W on the score board! Gilbert's supposed to be a bit of a tough guy too, if I remember correctly. -

Captain Canuck #12 replied to CRAZY_4_NAZZY's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Uhhhh.... one little question here. Reviewing the above boxscore, it shows Kannok Liepert received 37 minutes in penalties in the 3rd period, including a double game misconduct. Dennis Gilbert received a match misconduct for a check to the head at the same time, then somehow managed to get 5 for fighting 38 seconds later, making it sound like he came out of the dressing room and back onto the ice to engage in a fight (unless it was under the stands). This sounds like good old time hockey, being transported back to 1982! Yet somehow, no one has managed to comment on any of these events yet!! What is going on here people??! -

Problem is, the Bruins have next to nothing we need. Their prospect pool is abyssmal. Lysell is the prospect that keeps getting mentioned, but he's the last position we need (wing) and may still even be a bust. Other than that, they have Carlo as a RHD, but he's already too old for us at 26. Their first pick will be positioned so late in the round that it might as well be a 2nd rounder. The Bruins may want these guys, but they're the last team we should be looking to trade with. -

I hope he would consider taking players who aren't struggling if they were offered! If so, Dylan Holloway and Xavier Bourgault are two young centres with potential on the Oilers who would sound good together with Bouchard (their only RHD with any potential) and a 1st for Horvat. -
Tank Hard for Bedard - Playoff chances are already Slim
Captain Canuck #12 replied to Provost's topic in Canucks Talk
HaHa! Growing up in Chilliwack, I went to a school called Bernard Elementary. We had a school song at the time that started: "Bernard, Bernard, the school we love so dear. Bernard, Bernard, no equal far or near....." With just a little imagination, I'm already tweaking it in my head to make it about Bedard! Hopefully that can be my contribution to this thread! -

Great suggestion! That's one I missed. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Captain Canuck #12 replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Of all the young players potentially available from teams most rumoured to be after Horvat, Nemec would be the one who would fit our needs best. Morrow from Carolina would probably be the next best bet, and Grans if LA gets into it. I'm not holding out much hope from us getting Dobson from NYI or Schneider from NYR, but either would be nice as well! Otherwise, there's a lot more LHD to potentially be had, but that's exactly why we need to get a top young RHD in this deal. -

Hronek's defensive game is a big area of weakness. He's far from the ideal partner for Hughes going forward, if that's the idea behind acquiring a top young RHD. -

Are you suggesting Wright may also develop malignant hyperthemia?! -

Same! -
And could you imagine a more menacing defensive pair than Tryamkin and Schenn?!

Gotta laugh when I see that CDC'ers expect Seattle will offer us Wright for Horvat,while the Kraken blogger expects we would jump on a package centred on 31-year-old Gourde for Bo! Could there be two more discrepant perceptions! -

Probably not. But if getting that is a possibility, then I could definitely see Rutherford letting that team negotiate with him ahead of the TDL.
