Having a hard time seeing any negative in this. Elite defensive forward, at first glance, is something any team who can’t keep the puck out their net needs. I understand that our defense needs improving, but team defense requires all 5 guys, this should help. Consider me a fan of this trade.

The Scouching Report for Svechkov showed how he was one of the best transition forwards that Scouch tracked. He'd move the puck up the ice and into the offensive zone. But, when they got there, his VHL team couldn't sustain offensive possession. However, in the MHL and U-18s, he looked dangerous offensively. This makes me think he has untapped offensive potential. Together with some of our puck moving defensemen, especially Hughes, I think he could aid our transitions, and set up offensive zone faceoffs for our top line.
I’m really starting to lean toward Svechkov. Just sounds like the perfect center man to play behind Petey and Bo when he finally gets here. Him and Podkolzin together would be a total pain in the ass to play against.

I think there could be a chance that Domi would be a good fit here. Sure he’s not big, but that dude is tough. I could imagine him riding shotgun with Bo and having some success. Playmaker as well which we certainly need more of. All depends on the price though.

Panik is not a prospect though, he's a cap dump. If they can even just hold him til after the expansion draft and flip him for a high second or low first it's a huge win. My guess is Stevie already has a trade setup for post expansion draft, he's a pretty smooth hombre.
Sorry, you’re right, brain fart on my part regarding Panik. Was into the booze pretty hard last night lol. I’m still of the mind that there’s a bit of a double standard on here, if this trade was made by JB people would be going nuts, where as Stevie gets the benefit of the doubt. I believe he’s a great GM but this deal seems weird to me. Could be totally wrong though.

Oh they already started - like why didn't we give up a second and retain half on say Roussel. Cap space dimwits.
OTT and DET both have made several moves/signings the last 18 months that follow the same sort of thing JB did. Wait until they both try and win a cup during their "elc" window. Won't happen.
People would go nuts on here if we have up our 2nd for a 30 year old dman hahahah

He's an asset with a year left on his deal, one they can easily retain cap on and flip at the deadline for a high pick or two
So they trade a pick and a prospect for a player in the hopes that they can flip him for a pick and a prospect? Just seems kinda strange to me
-
This seems like an odd deal for Detroit. What good does Leddy do them at this stage of their rebuild? Curious what all the people who dump on JB have to say about this one.

After some consideration, I’ve decided that this is the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen on this forum. Way to go!

Actually it does, because if you let the guy walk the year before and then the following year you trade assets to just get him again, you're a horrible GM if you're doing that
The fact that Benning didn't get anything for Tanev or especially Markstrom after committing all those years to him and turning him into #1 waste all those years to get absolutely nothing back, is actually a joke tbh.
You really wanted JB to trade them away in the middle of a playoff push? Lmao

I’m all aboard the Svechkov train. Just have a gut feeling that he would be the best value at pick 9.

Has nothing to do with trading for a player we let go for nothing.
We let him go for nothing because the contract Calgary gave him was not something we were interested in doing. Simple as that
Exactly this. I can’t believe people are still so bitter about losing Tanev. The contract, plus the injury history, would have been too big of a risk.

Never said they weren't endangered. How was I in the wrong?
What is wrong is the idea of using that damn cartoon- running -hipster- logger as a logo. It's terrible.
The Johnny Canuck logo would be atrocious. It’s something you would see on some corny beer league jersey lol. I’ve never really understood why there’s such a huge obsession with it.

It means goalies hold little value in trades.
I would agree. Until they hit that elite status (like when we traded for Lou), you don’t seem to get much value when trading a goalie. I have a hard time believing a goalie will be drafted top 10, let alone 2 of them.

I'm sure Benning will bring in a Dman or two, but who? Jones? Parayko? Cernak? Nahh... Benning has a tendency to trade for non-star players who are on the decline or about to. That's why VAN has Roussel, Beagle, Holtby, Eriksson, Ferland, etc. Miller and Hamonic might be exceptions.
So, if you want to know who Jim will be bringing in, just take a look at the league D stats and see who's had their best years already. That's our guy.
Every name that you listed there, with the exception of Miller, was a free agent signing. And Miller has been our best player since he got here.

Hmm...
On one hand, you said they report what they hear, not "tow the company line". On the other hand, you said it would be "extremely boring" if they reported stuff that was 100 percent accurate.Then you said that stirring up controversy sells papers (something we all suspected), while you claim that Vancouver media has ethics.
Ok buddy. You've thoroughly contradicted yourself.
Why are you so offended by the media being criticized?
Millennials....
Why is there a zero sum approach to reporting? Why is it that "being a homer" can't sell a paper? The fact that people buy a controversial story is exploiting people's psychology. In other words, this demonstrates, and you've confirmed this, that the media doesn't care about having ethics, so long as they sell papers.
Also, what is it about reporting accurately that makes you somehow "a homer"? So many questions.... @wallstreetamigoI’m so excited for the response. This should be good.

So even if you deny being a lizard-person, it isn't actually refutable by anyone.
Cool.
'Facts'.
Anything being possible doesn't mean everything is possible. But you carry on with your conjecture 'facts'.
It’s such a backwards way of thinking. If you make a statement, it’s up to you to provide proof, not other people to disprove it. It’s pretty straightforward.

Almost all wealth is actually not earned in the traditional sense. But if you earned wealth through asset accumulation and inflationary housing prices, you still "earned it" in some manner. Inheriting wealth is 0% you earning it other than being born.
The pushing of government debt out to the future is hardly a new thing. And as society shifts and starts demanding even more government spending on more ambitious government services and programs, that is not likely to ever change. Government debt will not be paid off by millenials. It will just keep getting pushed out further and further. Someone will eventually pay the piper but its not likely to be millenials.
Historically low interest rates also mitigate the increase in housing prices to some degree for the millenial generation. So its not entirely accurate to say all housing related wealth is not an advantage to those who will inherit it.
I agree that inheritance taxes are a joke but considering the people with the most wealth are the ones who make the rules, thats not likely to change much.
The rich, whether boomer or millenial or whoever will continue to get richer. The poor will stay poor. The entire system is built around that solitary focus unfortunately.
I swear you post almost exclusively to make controversial statements bahahahah. I don’t know how you can look at the current state of our world, in particular Vancouver, and say that millennials will have the lions share of the wealth soon. We literally cannot afford anything now lmao.

I’ve stayed away from this forum for the most part since the weather got nice. Literally the first thread I see is this one. You’re right though, don’t even know why I bother replying to this stuff. The usual suspects are always out to play.
