Yes, would be open to various scenarios... But, don't think that is enough. I fully expect one if not two of the above mentioned players to be moved this offseason, or leading up to next TDL, if we are not in the playoffs next year... Like them all, but this can't go on... need some serious rebuilding.

[Proposal] [Trade] Hughes to the Devils
spook007 replied to Timråfan's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Worth considering...It's definitely thinking outside the box... this is needed, if we want to turn this team into a contender. -
[Proposal] [Trade] Hughes to the Devils

Remember all the drafts over the last 7-8 years, where folks have been wanting to throw everything overboard in order to draft 1 OA... How many of these 1 OA has really been franchise saving? Fair enough you get the first chance to draft a future superstar, but if it doesn't work (a fair few of them haven't, the team would have drifted around the bottom of the league with empty stands... wonder how long FA, even as a fan, would have bank rolled this? -
[Proposal] [Trade] Hughes to the Devils
spook007 replied to Timråfan's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Yes sure, that's kind of my point... Again not advocating trading Petey, but feel we need to start thinking outside the box, as the trade proposals mostly shown, doesn't really make much difference to the team dynamics... Most of us agree the team needs to get faster and bigger. On defence we need to get bigger, more mobile and tougher... trading dickinson, Pearson etc. won't do that, so we need to accept that something has got to give. one of the reason I applauded the club for getting JR in, was the idea of a fresh set of eyes, that wasn't as attached to any of the players, as we, the fans, are... It will hurt to see either Bo, Miller, Hughes, Petey go (used to put Brock into that category, but don't think he'll fetch much, just like Garland). Changes probably needs to be made, and again don't think Pearson, Dickinson, Chiasson, Hunt or Poolman will be sufficient to find the Cap + returns needed. So to answer your question shortly, sure why not. Everyone should be in play if the prize is right...although the team has improved under Bruce. Sorry @Elias Pettersson -

While I obviously don't want Hughes to leave Vancouver, at least Timråfan is thinking outside the box... We need to improve somehow, and we need cap and something of value to trade to obtain that. All the trade proposals goes around in circles, and somehow ends up at the starting point with not much difference... When folks started to suggest Miller was traded to obtain the aforementioned, they were almost hailed as the anti christ, although its blatantly obvious, that we need surgery, if we want to become a contender. I also believe the core is Petey, Quinn and Demko, but atm if Miller or Bo aren't performing, we aren't winning.... So how do we improve, bearing in mind OEL and Myers won't be moved? -

Might as well ask for the moon... its in their DNA to ruin draft position once they are out of the race.... -
Nice dive.... good to see Kim showing some feistiness

Definitely a proper shake up... love the idea of having Deslauriers on the 4th... need deterrent and bigger players w speed.
