[Tyler Myers l #57 l D]

It's crazy, but the deeper I look into the advanced stats, the better Myers looks, especially with OEL. I'm starting to think this pairing is a big part of the reason for our strong defensive numbers this year, in addition to Demko.

 

It seems crazy, but with how strong he's been defensively, there could be a case that he's fighting Hughes as our best defenseman. I'm struggling to believe it and am searching for stats to show how Hughes could be better, but to no avail so far, haha.

Right now, Hughes is obviously still our #1 Dman, but OEL and Myers are #2/#3, while Schenn is #4.  So, who is our #1 D pairing? The #1/#4 combo, or maybe the #2/#3?

That's a funny spin by the agent.  I don't think anybody assumed Hoglander was asking for a trade.  More likely the Canucks were putting out feelers to see what they might get for him and/or Judd Brackett was hoping the Canucks were willing to sell low and send him to the Wild.

we don't any of those goaltenders. just get a high pick back (a 2nd would be ideal). 

 

I'd be ecstatic with a 3rd and the opportunity to bring Martin up to be our full-time back up.

Avs aren’t trading newhook.  Byram could be on the table… but I doubt we see that kind of deal 

I'm starting to think it would be equally accurate to say, "Nucks aren't trading miller!"

Keep motte 

trade Dickinson 

Right!  In fact, of the three players on our 4th line now, he's the one that I would least want to lose.  Interesting factoid: right now he's our 8th highest paid forward, and even if he did get a raise to 2.5 mil per season, he would still only be our 8th highest paid forward.  I don't think this would be nearly as much of an overpayment as the 3 mill per season that Benning gave to Roussel & Beagle.

Yes, the 2 WC spots are available. But I would love for us to catch Vegas and moreover, ,Vegas to miss the playoffs.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing them panic when we pass them (say we beat them on the home-and-home game early in April) and them scrambling to find ways to fit Stone back in their line up. What kind of BS they will come up with this time? Which poor player or two will go on an LTIR for lingering injuries?

 

And we don't have many games left against the teams that we could realistically catch, but we do have three left against Vegas.  Those will he HUGE games for us.

Good point.  So unless a playoff team happens to have one of those first half 2nd round picks to give us (or a 1st rounder), I wouldn't be inclined to trade him.

Agreed. 

I'd trade him for a 2nd but I don't think that offer would come.

And I wouldn't trade him for a 3rd.

And only if it's in the first half of the 2nd round.

Yeah and it’s quite possible he retires at 21. This is Byram’s 3rd or 4th MAJOR concussion within the last couple of years. That’s insane.

Hence why Colorado might actually be willing to give him up for Miler  It suggest we steer clear and ask for Barron and Newhook instead!

[Nikita Tryamkin | D]

I think the main problem right now would be figuring out how to get out of Russia, which could actually be a real disincentive to leave.  There don't seem to be many options for flying in or out of the country at this point.  I think he'd have to take a bus!

[Sheldon Dries | #15 | C/W]

It would be nice to see Dries get a good chance to show what he might be able to do with the NHL Canucks before we lose him as a UFA.

I'd take Nylander in a heartbeat, which is something I didn't think I'd say a couple of years ago

How does that open up more cap space for us though?  That's the main problem with any of these                        Canuck for Nylander or Marner proposals.

[Luke Schenn | #2 | D]

Schenn's one of those heart and soul players any winning team needs to stock up on.  A real throwback D man & great partner for Hughes.  Allvin may soon get an offer that's just too good to pass up, but  I'm sure gonna miss him!

[Nikita Tryamkin | D]

I'm pretty sure he's a Putin-hater anyway!

Getting tired of seeing a guy get jumped after a good hit.

Need to toss that guy out, and hopefully an additional 1 or 2 game suspension.

Keep hitting, in the game

Actually, I just checked and he did get a game misconduct.  Along with 5 for fighting and 2 for instigating. 

I also see that this game was televised on the NHL Network.  How come nobody told me?!

Really?

 

I thought the opposite. I think we’ll see a lot of them wanting to get the hell out of there with the league likely going belly up.

Unless they're Putin worshippers like Ovechkin, or just buy into his propaganda about the evil West.  Then they would be more likely just to want to stay home with Putin.

[Will Russian players be banned in the NHL?]

Depending on how much the sanctions affect the Russian economy, I could see the opposite happening actually, in that the KHL may not be able to pay its players and at least some of the North Americans may come home.

Would make no sense but he’s a Pens pick so maybe Rutherford values him higher.

He's on the small side, but apparently gritty and as good defensively as he is offensively.  I think he would be a good addition, but I agree they have to keep a few D with size around too (Oh where did you go, Nikita Tryamkin....)!

addison was the name but it might be more of a story than a rumor 

 

 

Yes.  How the logic goes, as far as I can tell, is that Brackett helped draft Hoglander and Allvin/Rutherford drafted Addison, so that must mean that they want to trade them for each other.  Faulty logic aside...........I really hope it's true!!
