Where are these Whitecloud thoughts coming from? I'd love him too but he hasn't actually rumoured to be moved is he?? Hamonic, Myers, Whitecloud, Schenn down the right hand side would just a complete change of hockey brand from last year - in a GOOD way. Solid, aggressive, good size - with PMD down the left, Hughes, OEL, Rathbone, Juolevi. Big change from Schmidt, Hamonic, Myers, and Chatfield IMO.

[Proposal] Boston-Vancouver Jim Benning Style
Ilya Mikheyev replied to Ilya Mikheyev's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
obviously nixed with the Holtby buyout -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Jaroslav Halak
Ilya Mikheyev replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Ooooh didn't even consider Halak - could be a great Ian Clark guy . Only one year removed from back to back .920 SVP seasons. Some decent playoff exp. for a backup. Played under Brad Shaw in St.Louis. Played under a media microscope before (MTL) and performed well. Would not be against this at all -
[Signing] Canucks re-sign Conor Garland

Let's GOOOOOO -
[Signing] Flyers sign Keith Yandle
Ilya Mikheyev replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
900k seems pretty good for Yandle. As a third pairing, PP specialist he's still gonna produce, and can move up as needed. -
To Boston: Nate Schmidt, Braden Holtby (~10% retained), Olli Juolevi = Approx 10M + Juolevi contract To Vancouver: Jake Debrusk, Dan Vladar, Jack Studnicka, 3rd or 4th pick 2022 = 4.425M Why? Boston only has 4 legit NHL D signed right now - Schmidt fills their needs nicely Boston has zero goalies signed right now - a Rask/Holtby combo gets them thru the year - one reporter apparently suggest Boston already made an offer at Holtby Juolevi has been surpassed by Rathbone and is not waiver exempt anymore Studnicka is a right handed defensive center who IS waiver exempt for one more year, and could center Abbotsford second line, and compete for the Canucks 4C spot all year DeBrusk has been rumoured to be moved for ages. Both he and Schmidt need changes of scenery Canucks were rumoured to be interested in DeBrusk last off-season and you knowww once GMJB likes a player he does for a long time Both Holtby and DeBrusk are overpaid on expiring contracts. Kind of a wash Boston gets the better players, and they have the cap and roster space for it (Canucks get a 3rd back and could use an extra pick) Vancouver gets the cap flexibility they need to sign Hamonic, Schenn and maybe even a Savard type who wants to be here (or maybe Benning will pursue Barrie, for better or for worse) Benning wanted 2 top-9 wingers to have the ability to run three high powered lines. Let's goooo DeBrusk - Miller - Podkolzin This is contingent on Schmidt not wanting to be here as rumours suggest, I think him and OEL would make a good pairing TBH Canucks get a very cheap back-up who is already signed (750k), with DiPietro just a hour away they can compete for the spot as well (hell ya Abby). More cap flexibility Would normally not predict/suggest a 6 player trade... but after the OEL deal...Benning DOESN'T EVEN CARE

[Rumour/Speculation] Luke Schenn returning to Vancouver
Ilya Mikheyev replied to AV.'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I think based on his cup-pedigree now and the higher taxation in BC, Schenn will get a Andrew Alberts type contract circa 2011. Probably two years roughly 2.3 million (1.1 each year and maybe a 100k signing bonus). And I'm totally fine with that. Can still basically be buried in the minors if completely necessary but I foresee he would be solid depth for at least 2 more years. -

(Rumour) Svechnikov (DET) not being qualified as RFA
Ilya Mikheyev replied to RWJC's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Would look good starting the year on the 1st line in Abbotsford -
Everyone has to compete for the spot, yea. He's overpaid for sure, but so is Holtby. If we can clear all the cap and sign Hamonic, Savard and Khaira or a similar combo could round out the team nicely . Also Green does have the option of running 3 offensive lines Hoglander - Petterson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Garland DeBrusk - Miller - Podkolzin Motte - Dickinson - Highmore Khaira/MacEwan/etc

Hawryluk and Michaelis can probably be let go IMO. Hughes 7 + Juolevi 1.3 + EP40 7 + Garland 3.5 + Dickinson 1.75 = 20.55 Holtby likely has to go to fit Hamonic/his replacement, a 4th line C and another depth D right? Maybe moving Schmidt for cap space and paying David Savard slightly less is also a possibility
