could you imagine if we landed both Malinski and Livingstone.

interesting core, with Miller the oldest at 29, and Hughes the youngest at 22. Everyone else is between those two guys. Petey 24, Kuzmenko at 26, Hronek at 25, Demko at 27. Yeah, this group probably has about 2-3 years to compete, before Petey enters into his late twenties, and he'll be the elder statesman of the next core.

where do you see Högs slotting into the line up? My guess for next year's line up: Mikheyev - Pettersson - Kuzmenko Kratsov - Miller - Podkolzin Höglander - Dries - Boeser Joshua - Åman - Studnika? Hughes - Bear Dermott - Hronek OEL - Burroughs Demko/Martin Is that it? Assuming that Miller and Brock are still with the team come September. I can't believe that Myers would be back in September. I think he's either traded, or bought out. Buying out OEL would be way too costly for way too long. I'm not sure if that's a playoff roster to be honest.

anyone in the media ask him the tough questions?

not much happened today. It felt like there was more movement in the days before the deadline.

the biggest move for Allvin and his team at the deadline. JT and Brock remain Canucks for the time being.

I can't really see Brock going anywhere especially with his contract, and the Canucks unwillingness to retain any sort of money since they're capped out themselves.

I kind of feel like tomorrow is going to be a let down. So many trades have been made days before the deadline. Might be a quiet one tomorrow, especially for the Canucks.

Now if L.A. is offering one of their young RHD's...well then...

well, a good start is important. hoping that he can keep it up. I'm really rooting for Kratsov. We need him to really take off offensively!

How's Kratsov looking tonight?

He's older than Räty, and some people don't think he's going to make it. I'd pass on Turcotte.

Not Quinn. Quinn's cap hit is 7.8M. What a steal.

so we still have no one to play with Hughes then. and it doesn't make sense to pay Hronek 6M to be our second pairing guy.

That makes a lot of sense. I guess the loss of a 1st still stings, but if people looked at it through the lens of a retool, then the trade makes sense. If fans are looking the trade through the lens of a rebuild, then this trade infuriates so many. Fans want a rebuild. Management is moving towards a retool. That's where some media and fans are upset. They're wanting one thing, and hoping that management will do what they want. But management is firm and hard on a retool. It is what it is. I'm looking forward to the moves that Allvin and management is probably looking to do. Miller and Brock on the move today?

Ah, I see. So wait, is Hronek an offensive defenseman, or a defensive one? Because if he's an offensive dman, that doesn't make too much sense to pair him with Hughes.

probably none of them. but longer term, they might be better than Hronek.

for Beau?? I don't think he fetches a 1st. A 2nd perhaps...

well, he wants to be a Canuck right? Home town discount to play at home and put on that jersey. stranger things have happened. Cap is supposed to go up as well, so who knows, maybe we can afford him at that time. Won't be for a few years, though, so kinda a moot point.

Marino is a defensive defenseman? I thought he was always more offensive. Tanev was the one that got away, should've traded him when the time was right to. Management at that time failed in that as well.

We're not getting him at the start of his career. It's not to say that he wouldn't want to come home one day, perhaps as a UFA?

hah. isn't that the truth, but wouldn't this fan base just become more and more disillusioned with the state of the team?

Unless that's being moved today.

Winning will bring in more money.

right. good points. 1. I would say Kuzmenko and Hronek are skilled. the others on that list provided are question marks for me. Beau is decent, but I don't think he's on the same level skill wise as Kuzmenko. 2. We don't know. Kratsov is just starting to get some practices under his belt right? Räty is mostly with Abbotsford (not sure how long he will remain with the big club). Bear is decent and has been a decent fit onto the team. 3. I guess they all do 4. This one I think is the main talking point. Why is it overvalued?
