    [Rumour] Canucks interested in Alexis Lafrenière

    There was sarcasm in my comment

     

    But in all seriousness I think Green should get a chance somewhere as an associate/assistant coach in the NHL

     

    He had many flaws and I don't think he is ready for another HC job yet, but at least the Canucks were structured under Green. Considering the lack of talent Benning assembled for him, they managed to be in games. 

    Not sure what Green coached team you were watching but those teams absolutely did not have structure lol.

    (Proposal) 11th over all pick for Cody Glass

    Glass is 24 years old and just broke the 30 point mark while playing more than 39 games in a season for the first time. He's done it once. 

     

    I don't think my skepticism towards his supposed breakout is unwarranted. Doubt it, lots of good players will be available, it's supposed to be a good draft.

     

    If we're trading the 11OA it'd better be for more than a guy who'll be 25 next season, a guy who's put up third line production once. 

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say again, the only way I’m trading that pick is if it’s for another youngish proven top 4 RD or if it’s in a mega trade to move up to 1st.

    Lafreniere is a 40 point 15-20 goal scorer while playing with guys like Goodrow, Chytil, Kravtsov, Motte, Blais, and other plethora of depth guys. He got 0 PP time, and was behind Kreider and Panarin on the left side. Doesn’t turn 22 until October, guy should get plenty of opportunities in the top 6 beside Pettersson or Miller.

     

    He’s a good get.

    This exactly. Stick him with Miller and Mikheyev for the year and I could almost guarantee he’ll make the Rangers hate themselves for making that trade. Another thing to consider here is the Rangers are historically bad at developing forwards.

    Unreal game, Latvia were so undisciplined but such solid positioning defensively when they're standing still and wow Silovs is becoming a national hero as a kid. He's going to be the AHL's best goalie next year, probably have a Wolf/Demko like year, carry them deep into the playoffs hopefully and then he'll be ready for 20-30 NHL games the following year.

     

    I do agree though - the way he's poised right now he should be our backup next year but no rush. If Martin and Delia really stink up the boat I'm all for bringing Silovs in.

    Exactly what I'm thinking. You don't have the run Silovs is having unless you're legit.

    Latvia was outshot 41:15. Silovs stood on his head only letting in 1 goal.  We have a special goalie.  Is Drance going to finally admit he was wrong about Silvos? Doubt it. 

    The chances of Drance ever admitting he was wrong about something are about the same as me hitting a 10 leg parlay.

    I've def read about his interest in Carlsson, I wonder what it'd take on top of the 11th though. Top 3 picks almost never move. 

     

    I'd be open to it though depending on what it'd take.

    For a guy like Carlsson I'd definitely move multiple firsts and prospects. But I'm not sure we could do that without making any prior moves. I could see something like Beauvillier, one of Höglander or Podkolzin, Karlsson or Klimovich, this years and 2 other 1sts and a couple of future 2nds getting the conversation started, which in itself is a lot.

    Again, it depends on what happens with the cap. If the increase is minimal we're stuck in a place where we have to move contracts if we're to bolster areas such as D and 3C, and other teams know this. I don't think Boeser's value is as a low as others but he is undoubtedly overpaid, I'm not convinced it'll be a huge market for him. He's a goal scorer who's struggled to score despite being a productive player. 

     

    I don't think Garland's value is as low as some others either, but I do believe that teams will absolutely be looking to take advantage of us, and any other cap strapped team. 

     

    The D I originally mentioned will be in high demand due to this crop of UFA's being more on the shallow side imo. If the cap goes up we won't be the only team able to spend. I think Severson will be too expensive, he's likely the top RD option out there. 

     

    I'm not on board with trading the 11th pick at all. 

    Oh I'm not either. And to be completely honest we should only be trading it for the type of player I mentioned OR to move up in the draft. There was a report (rumour) floated the other day that Allvin is willing to move up to 3rd to take Carlsson. I'll find the link and post it here if I can.

    Maybe, depending on the player

     

    Mayfield, Graves, and Gavrikov would be better gets imo, not interested in Severson at all as I think he'll cost too much

     

    I expect LA will find a way to keep Gavrikov, even if they've gotta flip a forward out to do it, they don't strike me as a franchise that's looking to rent players just yet 

     

    Graves will be very in demand imo, Mayfield maybe not as much 

     

    Wouldn't be surprised if we got none of them, which I'm fine with honestly, it might be easier to address our top 4 next offseason as cap comes off organically 

     

    We'll see what happens with the cap as that'll impact both trade and UFA markets, but I'm not interested in paying high prices to dump cap 

    I don't necessarily think we'll have to imo, Boeser and Garland could (should) have value to teams looking to reach the cap floor and/or find NHL quality players. I don't like the rep Garland's been getting recently. He's a proven middle/top six forward who has excellent numbers 5v5. 

     

    As for Severson, I don't think we'd be able to find a better fit for Hughes unless we make another Hronek-like trade to find one. I've honestly felt lately depending on how the draft falls we might use the 11th overall in a trade.

    This free agency looks to be on the weaker side, this will be good for more in demand players, particularly if the cap jumps more than anticipated

     

    Gavrikov, Graves, Severson, and Orlov will be very in demand if they make it to UFA, probably Mayfield too 

     

    Barbashev would be a good get but he'll likely be in demand as well and likely won't come cheap

     

    https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/bertuzzi-severson-orlov-projected-for-richest-contracts-among-top-50-free-agents

    God if we could find a way to land at least one of these guys after clearing cap that would go such a long way.

    Who here is actually happy with the Hronek trade?

    If you think Hronek is mostly a PP specialist, then you obviously haven't watched him play to be honest...

     

    And yes, I am very happy with the trade as Hronek is a legit top 4 Dman who can play in all situations.  The 18th overall pick won't even be in the lineup for 4 years...

    This. Hronek is the exact type of right handed, top 4 staple we have been screaming for and to be frank the 18th+43rd overall picks is more than a reasonable package. Even though it was only three games we looked like a much better team with him in the lineup.
