  1. Do the Rangers have a say in the matter? My guess is they’d prefer to stay where they are.
  2. I don’t see Montreal having ANY interest in Goldobin
  3. The west was a joke this year. The wild card race went on forever because no team seemed to be able to string together wins. By way of contrast, if the Canucks were in the east they would have missed the playoffs by 17 points. All that said. I really don’t see any danger of the Canucks losing Pettersson. The team is on the rise and should be better soon.
  4. I think you’re jumping the gun a bit in your player appraisals. Pettersson COULD be a 1C. Calling Boeser a 30-50 goal guy is a bit premature considering he hasn’t actually hit 30 yet. He’s come close to 30. But there’s a massive difference between 30 and 50 goals. Horvat at is a very good 2 way centre. But it’s not like he’s anyone’s top vote getter for the Selke. Hughes is looking promising. But maybe let him play more than a handful of games at the NHL level before you annoint him as a legit 1D. I honestly don’t see Virtanen putting it all together. He has some tools but no toolbox. Tryamkin. Meh. The rest of Vancouver’s prospects you listed are interesting. But until we see how they progress there’s really no way to know if any of them will be impact players in the NHL. Vancouver has some great young pieces. Let’s just wait and see how they develop. I
  5. You don’t need a second 1st round pick to do an offer sheet. If the compensation for the offer sheet is two 1st. They are both Vancouvers own picks in consecutive drafts.
  6. Tampa wouldn’t give up Kucherov for Pettersson, Hughes, Boeser and 8th. Let alone your offer.
  7. It’s amazing how old, injury prone players that most fans don’t want on the Canucks anymore can somehow score the 8th overall pick.
  8. You’re crazy if you think any team will give a top 10 pick for Markstrom. He’s 29, a year away from free agency, and literally only has 1/2 a good season under his belt.
  9. If an offer sheet is matched, a club can't trade that player for one calendar year after the sheet is matched.
  10. Goaltending prospects are generally worth very little in trades. They take a long time to develop and their trajectory is difficult to figure out. He’s looking good right now. But that’s the OHL. Vancouver won’t get value out of trading him. Best to hang on to him and see how he develops
  11. Obtaining Luongo and buying him out doesn’t really help on the cap hit front. All it does it takes away the possibility on him retiring in the last season and saddling Vancouver with an $8.5m cap hit for one season.
  12. I don’t think the new GM will be nearly as desperate as he would need to be to accept the majority of these deals. Yes. They only have $8.5m in cap space, But the cap is expected to rise by $3.5m to $83m. That gives them $12m with no significant players to re-sign. They can easily fill in the roster spots with what they have available. They'll have limited space to actually improve the team. But I doubt the new GM will want to set a precedent of getting bent over a barrel on his first trade. Any reasonable fan will realize that it’s a mess that won’t be cleaned up with a single trade. And giving away a top 8 pick to clear cap space doesn’t send a message that the team is heading in the right direction. I think you’ll see a much more measured approach by the new GM than people here are expecting.
  13. Creating a proposal that offers up spare parts for the 3rd overall pick isn’t creative, it’s delusional
  14. Why does a rebuilding team give up a 3rd or 4th overall puck for a broken down 29 year old D who’s a year away from free agency and a totally unproven goaltending prospect who is years away from being ready for the show when they can get a high end prospect that is likely NHL ready this year or next?
  15. He’s a year removed from a Hart trophy. He had an injury plagued season this year but I doubt they’re looking to move on from him. If anything they’re looking to improve the team in order to entice him to stay.
  16. What makes you think Jersey would accept spare parts for Hall? About Ben if they’re open to moving him, I suspect a number of teams would have interest
  17. Colorado would CLEARLY tell Vancouver to ef off.
  18. Hahahaha. No. Demko would NOT get the 4th pick
  19. If they get into cap trouble it won’t be a signed Marner that they move.
