(PROPOSAL) Trade deadline/cup contenders/dont hurt future IMO


Scorvat

Recommended Posts

Now before i get started let me just say i believe we are only 1 or 2 players away from actually being cup contenders. Now the cap in these trades fit the cap space for both teams according to www.hockeybuzz.com. here it goes.

To Van:

Hanzal

To Ari:

Kassian

Bonino

Arizona gets a very good prospect in Kassian. Although he does seem out of place at times, he also shows signs of becoming elite. Just look at the last 8-9 games, and the end of last year. He is only 24 and a power forward. They also get a IMO a very responsible 3rd line C at a great cap hit in Bonino. We get a great 2nd line C who could help bring leadership to our youth and have instant chemistry with Vrbata on our 2nd line and PP. If needed id also throw in a mid to late pick in 2016. I believe both teams win trade.

Now trade 2 i know some people wont agree with because this player is both over-rated and under-rated by people. Here it goes.

To Van:

Yakupov

2015 2nd

To Edm:

Lack

Vey

Gaunce

2015 2nd

2016 3rd/4th (to move up in 2nd round to get a good D prospect)

Edmonton get a great back-up goalie with starter potential. He is also one of the nicest guys to have in your locker room. Nothing seems to get him down, hes always happy. They also get Vey who i believe is more valuable than he should be. His shooting percentage is great and hes been successful on the PP and hes only 23. Edmonton will probably love him. I just cant see him developing his D game. Also i love Desjardins coaching so far, except for the fact i think Vey and him have too good of a relationship which has Dejardins giving him special treatment IMO. Hopefully GMJB sees this and makes a move. They also get Gaunce who is suppose to be a great two-way C. Gaunce is probably our most tradable prospect with him being behind Horvat/Mccann/Cassels IMO and also recieve an extra pick by movin down 10+ picks depending on how far Vancouver goes this year. And we get the struggling former 1st overall pick who has a ton of potential and would be on a line with older players with a lot of skill that could teach him a thing or 2. Plus we move up in draft to hopefully get out Dman of the future.

Lines:

Sedin Sedin Burrows

Yakupov Hanzal Vrbata

Higgins Matthias Dorsett/Hansen

Kennins Horvat Hansen/Dorsett

Forward depth:

Richardson

Mcmillan

Jensen

Sestito

Edler Tanev

Hamhuis Sbisa

Bieksa Clendenning

D depth:

Stanton

Corrado

Weber

Biega

Sanguinetti

Miller

Markstrom

If these trade were to happen that will give us an actual 2nd line. Our PP would be A LOT better. That whole line are snipers. Idk this is just my opinion but i believe we could make a good push for the cup with this lineup. Make it happen GMJB!!!

Maybe look at a trade involving Stanton/Biega/Sanguinetti to add a better foward to add to our forward depth.

Thoughts?

Sorry guys. I never realized Hanzal was done for the year. I will make sure to do more research before i make another thread. Id still do yakupov deal though even without acquiring Hanzal. But just yakupov wouldnt be the stanley cup team i suggested in the topic. Again i appolagize and wont waste your time nomore.

But if Hanzal were availiable do you think we could/should make these trade to give us a shot at the cup?

I like the 1st trade. I wouldn't mind it but wouldn't do it because I think VAN needs more play making or scoring skill in the top 6.

Hanzal has the defensive and physical qualities to help VAN. And being 6'6" makes him an obvious net front option. But he may not have that much offense. 10-15 goals & 40 points per season is low. However his PPG in the playoffs is good.

Bonino and Kassian are very cost effective. And the offensive potential exceeds 10-15 goals per season.

With how defensive VAN is as a team, Kassian/Bonino are better options IMO.

-------------

IMO the 2nd trade is too complicated. Probably boils down to Yakupov <-> Lack, Guance.

But again wouldn't do it. Yakupov has never stood out to me when I've seen EDM.

people hage to understan yakupov is a great pick up.seriously take these facts into consideration

1. hes only play for a young team with players like hall, eberle, and hopkins ahead of him on the depth chart. Never had the vets to help develope his game properly and the coach just threw him out there.

2. hes a former 1st overall for a reason.

3. With his poor play we should be able to sign him cheap. 3 years 1.75M cap hit

4. WD is proven to bring out the best in players. Especially young players. Yak would play great for him.

5. Intantly helps our PP

We move Lack which he is being moved anyway. Cant see the canucks trading Markstrom. This trade to me makes sense for both teams and it could very well turn into a steal for us. If any team could help yakupov bring out his potential its the Canucks.
