    Just because he said we need more big guys doesn't mean he's using the 10 pick on a big guy. I would imagine he still goes BPA regardless of size with the 10pick, then likely to target some bigger guys in round 2-3.

    Draft Zegras( hope he fills out) or hope Cozens or Dach fall problem solved and if Dach or Cozens falls, Bo would look great beside Petey and Brock in the future.

    What about Sutter for Nuge and Lucic?  Oilers save big on their cap, and get a proper checking center?  Although I think we gent bent over on this one. 

    That would work cause Nuge  has played wing and could be the play maker bo needs. I think oilers would say no though.

    Hard to see a team trading a first round draft pick to see the only tangible asset in return is Ban Hutton.

     

    I understand the cap dump but I think this would be hard to accomplish

    Hutton+ 2 round pick seems like an over payment for just Johnson . I think there's a deal to make cause Johnson is the odd man out with Barrie and Makar. I can't see many teams lining up to take him on with a 6 million dollar tag. The teams that need D have cap problems like the oilers and leafs.

    Lol, what.

    You just made that up. There's no way Jim Benning just hung the phone on that. 

     

    Barrie and Hutton are worlds apart talent-wise. Barrie is a top 15 defenseman in the league. Hutton is barely a top 4 on Vancouver. 

     

    When you lie at least try to make it sound somewhat believable.

     

     

    If you going to call me out for b.s better be right.

    It's a better proposal than most proposals but... why would they make a trade like this to a divisional rival, especially with a 16th overall?

     They've shown in interest in Hutton in the past, they've offered Barrie in exchange for him previously. Colorado also wouldn't have to worry about protecting Johnson during the expansion. It would be mutually beneficial to both teams since Col need to strengthen the left side of their defence and Van is in need of a good defenseman on the right.

     

     We might be reaching bit trying to get the 16th pick but even a deal that included Johnson and a lower round pick could be worth it.

  6.  Van: Ben Hutton + 2020 2nd round pick

     Col: Erik Johnson + 2019 16th overall

     

      The reason why I think this trade would work is because they already have enough young solid RHD in their lineup that they can spare Johnson to free up cap space. It would be a cash dump deal since Johnson is making $6M for the next three years iirc. Vancouver may need to add more to it to sweeten the deal but Johnson would be a big help to our currently struggling defense.

     

     It would also give us an opportunity to trade Tanev later on and give us more options in the draft.

    Ya I’m just going off Dreger’s rumour that Louie would be going the other way in a potential deal. I also think they’d may want Tanev more but, you never know. I also think the bonus has been paid, June 1st I thought 

    If they want tanev more then making a deal with col for Johnson would fill his hole/role on the team. I just don't know what they would want....Hutton + prospect or a second round pick next year maybe.

    Rumours that the Canucks still have interest in Lucic (coming from Dreger). He said Edm would have to sweeten with a pick or prospect. We certainly aren’t getting #8 if Louie is going the other way but maybe we could still get it?

     

    Erickson + Tanev + 3rd

    for Lucic and 8th overall 

     I would rather trade Sutter and a 3rd for Lucic and 8th overall. Then trade Erickson after July 1st, after his bonus has been paid.

     

     I would try to make a deal for Colorado's 16th overall and Erik Johnson, I know he's older but he would be the perfect partner for Edler.

    Where were you prior to this season? Tampa has been to the Stanley Cup Finals once and Conference Finals twice in the last 5 years - which means they've won 7 rounds in that time. Not many NHL teams have won more rounds in that timeframe, despite getting bounced this year and barely missing the playoffs a couple of years ago.

     

    This year their top 3 D-men were injured. Stralman was out, Hedman only played 2 games, and McDonagh was playing hurt.

     The Eastern conference is completely different from the Western conference, you can't compare the two. We built a team like Tampa and we've only managed to make the finals once. The Lightening are built for the regular season, they don't have the nastiness necessary for the postseason. We have tried the speed and skill and it has gotten the Canucks nothing. 

     

     We want the Stanley cup, not the President's trophy.

  10.  I really want the Canucks to pick either Zegras or Seider because when the playoffs come, nastiness (not size) is what wins a series. I wouldn't turn down Cozens if he were still on the board though.

     

     I want the Canucks to a build a team that pushes back instead of passively taking whatever the opposing team throws at them.

    Agreed. I am not sure why some posters like to pull the old PWF take longer narrative. It has been shown again and again to be false.

     The person you responded to listed Evander Kane who had Brian Little as his center man in his first year, iirc. He also had Byfuglien and Ladd as backup so he could be as aggressive as he wanted. 

     

     Someone mentioned Simmonds and Brown, who both had better centerman that Sutter on their line. Unlike Virtanten, they were encouraged to play their game.

     

     He's a play driver capable of carrying a line and a lack of depth on the team is why he's on the third line. Green is trying to spread the talent available to him across four lines and he doesn't have much to work with.
