More and more I see these insiders talk about the top 5, I have more doubts on moving up in the draft. If a reasonable deal is available then I'm for of it and I also do like Reinhart mainly because of his WHL and BC connection but there is no way I want to trade a Shinkaruk, Horvat type of prospect.

The same praises were made when talking about Jordan Schroeder too..... (I still believe he'll make it into the NHL).
Not saying Shinkaruk won't be an NHLer, but when you can package an unproven prospect coming off a serious injury to help get the #1 pick, you do it.
Definitely can make comparisons to Shinkaruk and Schroeder, I have been disappointed in Schroeder's level of compete in the previous years, granted he has been riddled with injuries his whole career here. (I also think he can make it into the NHL but I see him more of a RW than a center)
I think the two things that separate Shinkaruk and Schroeder is Shinkaruk's agility in terms of his turns and his footwork to fool goalies and defensmen, and he's got a sick sniper-style shot that seems like it could beat any goalie in the NHL.
It's all debatable until either player actually goes out and proves something, but overall I want to see Shinkaruk play more before dealing him

No no no no no no no.
Keep the 6th. Shinkaruk will be an absolute stud and he loves being a Canuck. Look at his twitter page, all he does is talk to Canucks prospects and talk about the Canucks.
He's the type of guy who will stick with this team for a long time. And he's got plenty of skill to boot.
Keep the 6th. Take Ehlers or Nylander, keep shinkaruk.
The thing I like most about Shinkaruk is his drive and compete level, he is a little speed demon, whether his size hinders his ability in the NHL is undetermined, but he definitely has the speed and the capable footwork to get around anyone in the league.

tanev + 6th is what i'd want to see traded for the first overall,
I'd like to see shink have a chance before trading him.

Yup. "Give me control to build an exciting team that will challenge the big boys or fire me". Pretty typical though... he basically blames the league, players, owners and Torts for the mess and is claiming he has a plan to fix the mess he created.
um he put a good amount of blame on himself, he also said Torts was a good coach and that he believes that the players have the ability to play a high transition puck-control type of game.

Around the same price as the Vanek trade today... and Roy is no Vanek.
different time, different market, different circumstances...

Why is there such an outrage here, we all knew Luongo wanted out... the ship sailed the minute Luongo said something publicly.
IMO both parties should've handled it better, and right now we are actually getting something tangible back for Luongo that seems like a win to me.

Horvat will get a good look on the 3rd line next year, Shinkaruk I doubt will be in the NHL next year, top 6 forwards usually need development time in the AHL to learn the defensive side of the game and to get the minutes for the tuning of their game.
Either way, no to trading Horvat because he has a good chance at being the 3rd line centre, an important role for a player with a veritable toolset.

Prove,n young, NHL talent vs Boy I hope he turns into a player...I'll take proven over potential.
Proven = expensive, too much proven = over cap.
You need a mix of proven and potential going at the right time to be able to do anything in this cap era.
If Horvat can land a 3rd line centre role next year and put up 20-40 points then I'd say that would be a huge asset for our team.

KOK doesn't spell Kork. Thathe sounds like something else...Heheheheh. I am sure lots of teams would fear the KOK line, hahahaha!!!!

Unfortunatly Gillis made huge mistakes getting guys who did not pan out. Wasting picks on Pahlsson and Roy. But who could replace him, Burke mabey
Pfft, hindsight man, CDC is angry and wanted a rental, Gillis got a rental, rental doesn't pan out, CDC is angry at Gillis for getting a rental...
GM is an unforgiving job

Kassian has great hands and a pretty underrated playmaking skills. I like his vision and is willingness to try a new move on the rush.
I like him with Kesler at the moment and another big top 6 forward on the left wing would make that line pretty tough to deal with.
I also think he needs to improve on his board play mainly his positioning of his body to keep the puck better protected and provide more puck control in those situations.
-
I don't think anyone would trade for Booth right now... he'll likely be a buyout next season as we need to clear some cap for sedins new contracts.
-
I don't understand the hate on the trade, two UFA swap but Vanek is far greater of a player than Moulson.
Not saying Matt is a terrible player but Vanek + Tavares is going to be siiiiick.
I'm not really sure why buffalo would want Moulson, he's likely going to walk next season... seems like they could've maybe went for a good prospect + first which would've made sense.
hmm, unless if they plan on flipping Moulson in a trade at the deadline (if they can't sign him at that point). Seems alright...

Tanev was always great bang for the buck he was paid, but I agree once his bucks are levelled to his pay he'll seem more average.
I don't mind trading him, but I do have an issue of trading Tanev - Shinkaruk to move up 5 spots.
I'm also a bit reluctant to see Shinkaruk be moved but if it's needed to get Reinhart then so be it, plus Kesler deal should get us young talent to replace the loss of Shinkaruk in our prospect pool
