J.I.A.H.N Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Just looking at the idea of trading picks with Florida Here is the pitch.............. Florida's 2014 - 1st rounder(3rd overall) + Florida's 2015 -2nd rounder FOR Van's 2014 - 1st rounder(8th over all) + Van's 2015 - 1st rounder (Fixed) Reasoning: this may be the lowest we pick, as the team could place better next year by just having less injuries, adding a couple of UFA's or having just one of our prospects put in 15 to 20 goals. Or a bit of all 3. Yes there is risk, but it may be our only chance to pick that high, and Florida may be tempted to swap, thinking Vancouver's on the decline and they have a chance at number one over all. In addition, we get to keep Kesler and Edler until next years trade deadline, where we then have the possibility of trading them for picks and prospects. I think it is the best of both worlds. Does this improve us, or weaken us? Just trying another angle......last time we moved up in the draft worked pretty good for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Florida's 2014 - 1st rounder + Florida's 2015 -2nd rounder FORVan's 2014 - 1st rounder + Van's 2014 - 1st rounderHow do we get two first round picks this year?If you meant 2014 first rounder and 2015 first rounder I'd say no. I don't see the Canucks improving too much next year and I wouldn't want to give up a chance to get McDavid or Eichel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsflash Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 You mean 2014 and 2015 first round pick right? I say no. We are probably picking high next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks155 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 If you mean 2014 & 2015, then it's realistic but I'd say no. I think if Florida threw in there 1st next year instead of the 2nd, it would be good 4 us but at that point, Florida will not be interested.

J.I.A.H.N Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 If you mean 2014 & 2015, then it's realistic but I'd say no. I think if Florida threw in there 1st next year instead of the 2nd, it would be good 4 us but at that point, Florida will not be interested. Florida is not going to put their 2015 - 1st rounder into the trade, when it could possibly be the same as this years(3rd overall), why would they do that? The whole point of the trade is risk/reward. If Vancouver signs one UFA that scores or improves the scoring, aka playmaker, we move into a playoff spot........if it doesn't work,Florida wins next year, but we win this year(speaking of the draft).......actually improves our odds of getting a top end player over the 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Moran Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 No, next years draft is slated to be a lot better than this one. Zero interest in a move like this, especially considering the decline of our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
