Franksedin Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I think the Canucks are in a tough spot with the 6th overall pick. If Draisaitl or DalColle fall then I believe they are easy picks but there are a number of guys that could go 6. If they are undecided or have a few guys they like I would see if Anaheim would be willing to trade up if there is a specific guy they like (ie. a Ritchie or Nylander...) that they do not want to lose out on by the time they pick at 10th. Therefore: to Canucks - 10th overall and 27th overall (2 1st) to Ducks - 6th overall and 66th overall (1st and 3rd) The rational and pick value have been pulled from these articles: --http://theleafsnation.com/2011/3/10/the-value-of-an-nhl-draft-pick --http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2013/4/25/4262594/nhl-draft-pick-value-trading-up This only works if the Canucks are undecided or like a few guys and the Ducks have a specific player they want. Canucks would do this to gain an extra 1st that can be used to draft a guy like Ho-Sang, Sanheim, Fabbri, Lemiuex...while still getting a great young player in the Virtanen, Perlini, Fluery, Kapanen mold. ***caveat - this assumes that a guy like Kesler wants to stay*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrChill Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 If our scouts aren't sold on anyone that wouldn't drop to 10, this sounds fine to me. Rather get Theodore Etem, 10th 3rd For Higgins and Kesler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Would consider such a move, IF they could also deal Kesler, AND/or Edler,in another deal or two. If it's a quiet(no moves made) draft wknd, would prefer keeping a higher selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather get Theodore Etem, 10th 3rd For Higgins and Kesler Ya my proposal only works if Kesler stays, but I kinda hope he gets moved. Im tired of him. I would rather this be a guy like Hansen/Matthais/Booth(with retained) over Higgins though. Higgins is a decent 2nd liner or great 3rd liner, plus he is more consistent.

Higgins shouldn't be a second liner on a cup team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Stache Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I think the that a trade like this is a REAL possibility. I really like the idea of getting 2 draft picks in the first. Even though this is considered to be a weak draft if the Nucks were able to get Virtanen/Nylander at 10 and then a Fabbri/Lemiuex at 27 that would seriously add to the prospect pool. I also like the proprosed deal of Kesler and Higgins for Etem, Theodore, 10th overall and a 3rd round pick. I don't know if Anaheim gives up the 10th pick in that deal though. That's a lot of their future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franksedin Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014   I also like the proprosed deal of Kesler and Higgins for Etem, Theodore, 10th overall and a 3rd round pick. I don't know if Anaheim gives up the 10th pick in that deal though. That's a lot of their future.  the Ducks are in a unique position, they have a great veteran core in the prime years with a young up and coming group (as well as young G); therefore, are poised for years of being a good team. Thats why I do not think they would trade for Kesler, why give up youth and maybe ruin the future years. Penguins on the other hand are almost all in right now. An aging core along with a number of draft picks traded for older players. Maybe why a Kesler trade would work as they need a cup or two now to make it all worth it. A Kesler and Hansen for Pouliet, Bennett, and 1st works for both teams. with the two deals Canucks get, 10th 27th 28(ish), Pouliet, Bennett for Kesler, Hansen, 6th, and 66th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Definitely be open to trading the pick, esp. for established young asset(s). Like the articles said, getting a ready-made player for a pick to solidify depth would be good since you wouldn't even know if the pick will even pan out. Hopefully it turns out better than Ballard for the 25th though (not that we needed Howden). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard though, with Perry & Getz contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
