funkyfresh Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Cap issues for the Bruins could make the Canucks a good trading partner for them. I think this could be a good deal for both teams with an edge to the Canucks. To Van: Loui Eriksson, Alexander Khokhlachev To Bos: Jared McCann, Jannik Hansen, 2015 5th round pick Benning supposedly really likes Khokhlachev, and Eriksson doesn't really seem to be a fit in Boston. This works for bruins because they get some cap relief(1.75 million), Strong depth winger in Hansen, and a solid prospect in McCann. I know the Canucks just drafted McCann and it would look bad, but Benning seems like he'll make whatever deal he needs to in order to improve the team. EDIT: Seems like Bruins would rather trade Defense so how about: To Van: Alexander Khokhlachev, Johnny Boychuk, 2015 5th round pick To Bos: Jannik Hansen, 2015 2nd round pick Bruins save a little more than $850000 and get a RW which is a position they are weak in. What do you think? EDIT 2: Doesn't look like Bruins want trade either Boychuk or Eriksson. However, they still need to get some cap space. They will probably have to use a buy-out on a player like Kelly if they can't get a fair deal done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I doubt they accept that but I'd do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give it a big fat no. twice. trading away picks and players with potential got us into this mess. No to moving McCann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gross-Misconduct Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Maybe if the Bruins threw in Bickell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'd give it a big fat no. twice. trading away picks and players with potential got us into this mess. No to moving McCann McCann is redundant here. Kokalachev fits our needs of a scoring top 6 forward. I think we'd have to replace the 5th with a guy like Grenier for the Bruins to consider it. If they plan on using Ericsson on the 3rd line again I think it would make sense to make this trade since Hansen is cheaper and better suited in that role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Boston says no. They aren't losing both Iggy and Loui. They don't want to move forwards they want to move defenseman. They have way too many D right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No to moving McCann I agree that they shouldn't be trading away young players but Khokhlachev is only 20 years old. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=41925 Also, Eriksson is 29 and could be dealt at the deadline for a good price if the team isn't doing well.

Canucks35 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Use free agency to pick up players like Errikson not by giving up prospects with great potential such as McCaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks155 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'd rather hold onto McCann and don't want to think about trading him, a day after he got drafted. We don't need Boychuck. They do. No deal for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEGCanuck Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 If there is a trade between these 2 teams my vote would be to not include picks in what is forecasted to be a strong draft year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I watched McCann's other post interviews and I think his mood was just temporary, probably from falling lower than expected. He has Kesler's tools but he's Canadian and still young. We could transition him to the wing (or someone else)I wouldn't trade McCann if we're going for a rebuild. For some reason I think it'd be morally wrong and our prospect pool looks great with him in it.Shinkaruk-Vey-KassianVirtanen-Horvat-JensenMcCann-Cassels-____Archibald-Gaunce-Lain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The OP's proposal is not a good fit for either team right now. Loui Eriksson had good chemistry with Soderberg too, not sure why they'd want to move him. Besides looks as though Iginla may end up elsewhere, Eriksson is needed.
