Maybe something like McEneny and a 4th for Spezza and a 3rd?

i'd do that, but if we are giving a 4th and mcenemy i think i'd want a 2nd round instead of the 3rd

canucks really could use for 1 year only

a quality and experienced 2nd line centre

so spezza is an excellent fit for vancouver

we'd lose someone else from our roster as a result as well

which would pay a portion of spezza contract (bye bye gagner?)

better to wait and see if they land Karlsson and then they have to move Spezza, assuming thats not part of the Ottawa deal. If its not we could likely get a nice return for helping them shed that contract, maybe even send Gagner back their way. 

I want the all or nothing scenario: either have the rookies help carry this team to the playoffs or be bad enough to win the draft lottery and get Jack Hughes.

Obviously wishful thinking but one can dream, right?

I think Pettersson wins the Calder.  He's the 1OA in a re-draft already in my view.

"Don't wait for it to happen. Don't want it to happen. Just watch, what does happen."

Better question if we had him 2011 instead of Keith " Plug" Ballard

Don't forget Boston. NBC only wants to show the same 10 teams over and over again for ratings purposes.

lol

Should've done Vancouver at NYR, 25th anniversary of one of the greatest SCF of all time. 

That was a regular thing for me en route to work at my last job.  Hated it.  Sometimes had to pull over in tears to compose myself before going in.  Be strong.  ♥ 

Don't try the 'Possum Pie at the Roadkill cafe, eh?

Kadri's just an asshole, that's the difference

I can never imagine being stupid enough to be a leaf fan

Kadri's not even worthy of tying Burr's skates

m8, Sutter-Eriksson-Guddy...

@Pears it's only five minutes. Play Huges the entire OT!

Just before puck drop in OT.. Pettersson Boeser Hughes... Okay here we go. Focus. Speed. One winner. We eat losers for breakfast. We are speed. Faster than fast, quicker than quick. 

Rule #1: Only follow verified users

Rule #2: Never read replies to tweets

Obey those two rules and Canucks Twitter becomes tolerable.

twitter is a crap heap of negativity. 

If you are looking for examples of the different between critical thought and negativity, you go to Twitter for the latter. 

Honestly Id rather see Pettersson in the AHL at centre now then trying to make him a centre after playing wing long term in the NHL. If Pettersson isn't ready to be an NHL centre then send him down and bring in Gaudette as 4C. Bo-Sutter-Beagle-Gaudette

Our best shot at a 2C is probably in some sort of Tanev-based deal. Let the threads begin! 

TO desperately needs a Tanev-type D... but I just can't see them coughing up Nylander 1:1. Maybe if we eat the Horton contract. 

pettersson is ready for the nhl..   not Utica!

You've GOT to traverse through this difficult phase!..Oops, sorry

@Nuxfanabroad its not a phase, when the inevitable world war 3 breaks out we wont actually hear about until it reach's Toronto and whip's out tsn and sn   

Relatable

In the latter scenario, which is also my preferred, I expect Boeser, Horvat, Pettersson, Gaudette, etc. to get tons of offensive opportunity and develop strongly. We will again be in a position to sell some vets at the deadline, including MDZ and possibly (unlikely) Edler, leaving the possibility of Juolevi getting 20 games at the end of the year. If our young core was to carry the team into a playoff position, who could possibly complain?

i think jvr is looking for 7 x 7

i think we could do vanek for 2 x 3 with a nmc for the 1st season

means sutters getting traded and so are a bunch of other guys 

@NUCKER67 I would love it if Vanek signed again.

@Pears Probably the most expensive 4th line in the league....but I guess we'll just have to make up for it by having the cheapest top 6 between Boeser, Pettersson and Dahlen. 

Yes please.

The money and term rumored scares the crap out of me.

I could see the same riot if it ever came out that JB had a great offer on the table and passed on it simply because it involved a 2019 draft pick.  GMs in this town are damned either way.  There's always a group of critics no matter what choice they make.

Keep the pick.

Of course, you know that with Canuck luck that would be the year we get our first 1OA pick and lose it.

BUILD THROUGH THE DRAFT,AND,

DO NOT TRADE FIRST ROUND PICKS,

MOST STARS ARE IN THAT ROUND,AND WE COULD USE A FEW MORE.

@chon derryE

Eriksson wore a rock salt necklace and dusted all his equipment with baking soda.

Both neutralize the douche juice

@Pears

Might have robbed him of his mojo. 

Or maybe the fact that the first goal he scored as a Canuck was an empty netter, ON HIS OWN GOAL! FFS that was awful

In my expert opinion he's got some bad juju, not doucheitis. Doucheitis affects an inviduals ability to not act like a total a**hole.

They blame others for their mistakes and are unable to accept personal responsibility for their selfish, cowardly and narcissistic actions.

Eriksson has bad Canuck juju. They should send him to a sweatlodge. Then first thing in the morning beat him up a bit with cold cedar bows before sending him for a swim in the ocean.

Almost guaranteed to change his luck.

the problem with older guys  they want term,  given the youth and recent drafts  ,2  ,3 years  were there. stay the course.

We’d have to make a couple trades to make it work but I’d like to see Beagle and Reaves for the fourth line, someone like Nash or Neal to play with Horvat and Boeser, and a 2C to play with Pettersson. 

na don't sign anyone. lets get a top 10 pick for our draft at home next year!

It really helped.lol.

i hope the want to sell tickets so they go with their youth.

or they can sign a handfull of d grade ufas that nobody wants to see and not sell tickets and miss the playoffs.

But spender jim has a tough time with self control come ufa time.

”no big fish”.

I think if Hughes shows he’s ready that’ll give Juolevi some time to develop in the AHL. As for Baertschi, I’m just under the impression that he’ll be traded. 

Thanks for clearing that up. I also think that Baer may be gone soon. 

Looks like we have Asian emoji - ___ - playing between Goldy and Golden Boy? 

One of the few guys I'd move the 7OA pick.  The Blues are nuts to consider moving him.  I'd also give them Tanev to get this done.

I’d be willing to do the 7th OA + Tanev. Possibly a small adder, but no prospects. I’m sure the Blues will ask more, and they can get it from someone else. Any more than that and I would prefer the Canucks continue to rebuild through the draft. 

I’d do something like 7th overall, Goldobin and like Stecher to give them another defenseman. Trade Tanev for a mid-1st to ensure we still get a 1st. 

Honestly, I've kind of thought that sort of swap would make a lot of sense. Gives Pettersson some time to adjust to the NHL, he's an offensive minded centreman (who is currently being usurped in the TBL lineup by the younger/cheaper Yanni Gourde), he's localish (Johnson is from Spokane), and TBL needs to dump a contract soon as they start re-signing there young guys... Plus, he's 27. So he's just young enough to grow with this new core but just old enough to be a bit of an "NHL veteran". Question is -- will TBL want more from the Canucks to do this. I think this deal is possible for both sides. I guess the other question would be -- who in the Canucks depth chart would replace Tanev?

TBL offer prob be like Koekoek and a 4th

It makes a lot of sense. But Tampa should add. They are the ones operating under a deadline (Johnson has a full NTC that starts July 1st).

I don't see it happening. Couple depth signings. The taxes compared to pretty well anywhere else suck. 

i can see us pick up jay beagle and calvin de haan...and for sentimental reasons, dan hamhuis. maybe he could transition into a coaching or scout's role. 

as it stands today there should be close to 27 mil, with 6 RFAs to sign who should all come in around the 2 mil mark or so, assuming we want them all back. 

So certainly room to improve with decent depth guys and have some money left over that the TDL to maybe facilitate some trades by us taking on salary for another team for picks. 

He used to be the Head Coach and GM in Swift Current.  It looks like they did OK during his tenure, but not much in the way of playoff success.

I don't think he'll last long

Does this mean he get to live in Prince George?  He's one lucky guy, isn't he?
