[proposal] Jiri Tlusty


Recommended Posts

Tlusty's contract expires this summer and he'll be an UFA.

If Canucks re-signed him they'd likely have to make some other move to make next year's cap. If they didn't, they'd have just given up a player, prospect and pick for a rental.

I don't mind the proposal based on value of players, but wouldn't be buying a rental for younger assets in the Canucks situation.

Tlusty isn't that great to give up all that.

Mcnally is never going to see the Nhl he has zero value so.... I would not say all that. 5th round pick is a 5th round pick. Kassian is looking like he is not going to make it in the nhl either. Its more of a sideways move more than anything. Jiri is a slightly better player than kassian right now. Jiri has averaged around 15 goals a year the last 5 and one 20 plus goal season. His cap hit is almost 3 million so its hard to say if I would make that trade, but the notion that we are giving up "all that" is crazy Canuck fanboy crap!

Obviously it matters where the canucks sit in the standings come trade deadline but if they are serious about taking a go at the cup while the Sedins are still elite players, he is the closest thing to a top six forward we could get without selling the farm. I can see him having good chemistry with a playmaking center like bonino and if we signed him for 3.5-4 million for three year extension could be nice.

I'll be happy to look at signing Tlusty in the off season a 1st, 2knd or 3rd line winger. Up to him which spot he earns?

Not trading Kassian for him.

If we made a trade, and I would prefer a hockey trade not rental, it would be for a D man all things considered!
