So with the plan being a short term retool with the goal of being good in a couple years how did this accomplish that? Even if Raty pans out he’s not gonna be an impact player for at least 4 years. Beauvillier is yet another winger that takes up 4 mil in cap space and further hurts us from improving the D. And I worry that they’re gonna flip the 1st this year to try and get help on D. Another deal like the Romanov or Lundqvist one… That’s why I’m praying that the pick slides. If the pick is a 13-18 pick this draft I don’t see them keeping it. If it’s an undetermined pick in next years draft there’s no way they would trade it considering it could be a lotto pick. I’ll be rooting for Raty, I hope he reaches his potential, but I feel like we just got farther away from actually fixing this team today.

He’s their top prospect because they have weak prospects. Allvin trying to hit a home run with Raty, but he’s far from a guarantee. Beauvillier is basically a cap dump. Only way this deal turns into a home run is if the pick becomes a top 10 pick in 2024. Canucks fans better hope the Isles keep losing this season…

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
DeNiro replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
The whole buyout talk is just posturing so that teams don’t try and take advantage of our cap situation. Buyouts would be the absolute last resort. I don’t think any of our players are that bad that we couldn’t unload them with retention. -

Rutherford trades Demko to Pittsburgh for Kapanen and then immediately retires… -

I mean they said the only untouchable is Pettersson so of course teams would call about him. Doesnt mean they have any interest in trading him. -
He’s not ready for the AHL. If he’s struggling at Allsvenskan level he’s gonna struggle worse in the AHL

Now I know you’re just making names up!

[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn
DeNiro replied to Warhippy's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
How many of those were D men? The position we actually needed. Only need one to pan out for it to be a home run. Meanwhile Benning’s two 2nd rounders in 2017 were Lind and Gadjovich… -

How many 2nd rounders work out? Answer: Not as many as you think -
[Waivers] Lane Pederson (claimed by Blue Jackets)
DeNiro replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I think they’re balancing the future with Abby being good right now. With Pederson claimed I believe they still only have 4 contract spots open. Clearly they need more wiggle room than that to potentially take 3 players back in a Horvat trade plus sign any NCAA players to play this season. Sometimes more goes into a move like this than meets the eye. -

Me too. 2nd rounders are severely overrated on here. Yea they could become the next Kucherov by 99% chance they don’t. Give me a young D man like Foote over a 2nd any day. -
[Waivers] Lane Pederson (claimed by Blue Jackets)
DeNiro replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Because they want more contract spots open with trades incoming and NCAA signing season upcoming? Pederson has played great on the farm but he was a throw in in the Bear trade. I don’t think they’re too concerned about replacing him, if he was an asset they were scared of losing they would have never risked waivers. -

Or maybe they were completely fine losing him? Maybe they’ve got trades lined up with players that fill the spot he was taking up? Assuming they just missed the waiver eligibility date is silly. I’m sure they were well aware.
