If that's the case I imagine they think Rafferty or Brisebois are ready to move up. Rafferty is intriguing and would add some offense to that bottom pair. What type of forward are they looking for did they? I would think scoring help - top six winger? Would take a package including Stecher if that's the case.

dpn1 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 They do have Sautner up still so maybe a deal is in the works. Benn could shift to the right side and then put Sautner on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 If he comes over in March, that would be such a huge add at the trade deadline. He will completely change the look of this team. Adding a big, mean defender who can skate for the playoff push will amazing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JB and Green want our players to be harder to play against on and off pucks. I thought Sven can do that, but when he does he gets injured.

Hairy Kneel Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) I've watched some of Atvo's games. Their forwards are a mess Personally I think this may be Nigel Dawes last season. The forwards got bounced around and out of the playoffs last year. I thought they would add some size this year but they haven't. They're also playing on a smaller rink and getting out muscled up front. I don't think they will make the playoffs or go far even if they do make it.

Only if Tryamkin is back though. If we could get him for Stecher, I'd have a hard time not taking it. As much as I think Stecher is a quality D, 10-12 minutes a game doesn't hold a ton of value. Puljujarvi is PPG so far in Finland, maybe he is coming around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undersized ones even less. I love me some Stecher, but I think we won’t get offers good enough to trade him, at least until the deadline. If Juolevi is keeping pace after Christmas we can start thinking about moving Stecher (Benn can slide over to the right side). Then Tryamkin May come shortly after that and we still have depth for the playoffs. Honestly, if the return is Puljujarvi that is fair, probably as likely to succeed as getting a late 1st round or early 2nd round pick. I would rather use him as sweetener to ditch Eriksson though. Ottawa needs help everywhere, Eriksson is relatively cheap in real dollars... so sending him and Stecher for a token return frees up a ton of cap space for us next offseason where we could add another piece like Barrie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Stetcher for Puljujarvi or Kapanen would be great moves on paper. Obviously tough to move a home town player and RD, but if management doesn't think his minutes will increase NEXT year then we might as well get some value back for him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a project at this point, while Stetch is a legit NHL Dman that works like a horse, has good underlying stats, puts up half decent numbers and has the heart of a lion. I'm done with project forwards, especially if it comes at the cost of a quality NHL player. You don't just give something away because you can.

Maybe the Canucks are looking at who they may lose in the expansion, in a guy like Stetcher for nothing at the draft, and trading him for a guy with upside that is protected or a draft pick, so they can expose a defenceman with less value on the market?

Don't want players with his attitude, and he doesn't want to play in Canada. Puljujarvi was born in the same month of the same year as Juolevi. He's scored at a very good pace for someone his age in the AHL in the time he's spent there the previous three seasons and is currently at a point per game in Liiga. The tough spots on his resume are his NHL stints where he was misused and misdirected playing in a bottom 6 role. I don't believe he ever got comfortable in Edmonton, which is tough for a young 18 year old kid all by himself who can't speak English. I don't think it's an attitude problem as he's a good, fun kid by all accounts who just didn't want to go back to a place where he didn't feel comfortable. He still has a ton of potential as long as he's used properly in a good environment and the time away from the NHL doesn't last too long. He could be an absolute monster alongside Horvat at 6'4 and 200 lbs capable of playing a good 200ft game as well. You shouldn't write off that kind of potential completely at 21 due to early labels of being a project or having attitude issues that have no real truth behind them. If we acquired Puljujarvi tomorrow I'm sure those labels would instantly be re-visited and revised by the extra minute of thought being put into the player at this point. EDIT: Sorry this is the Tryamkin thread. Hopefully Puljujarvi doesn't spend as long in Liiga as Tryamkin has in the KHL. That wouldn't be great for his development.

Don't I want players with his attitude, and because he doesn't want to play in Canada Edmonton. I've fixed it for you. I guess he doesn't want to play in EDM anymore. If he get a real chance, at a young team like ours, I guess we'll see why he was 4th OA in 2016. If you feel not comfortable at your work, would you go back there if you don't need it? I guess no. That's the same thing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 No Tryamkin today in Atvo's loss. Can't find if he was injured, but more than likely he was sat out in the rotation. Not sure how that goes with him being sat out in a losing line up. Maybe they are already preparing for his absence? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
