[proposal] VAN-NJ


Recommended Posts

shinkaruk, Markstrom and higgins

Larson

They need immediate & long term help up front, and a back up goalie. They have great depth in young D

Higgins will waive to play in Brooklyn.

Edit: Higgins contract also leaves some cap flexibility for an alternate signing.

Would consider A similar package, maybe tweaked, for Gelinas as an alternate. More established, less exciting. Not sure exactly how the value differs?

Actually. It is more than appropriate.

Jersey needs help now. They do not have veteran bottom 6 players. Only veteran top 6. Higgins helps there. They need forward offensive help, Vrbata helps that. They need an offensive prospect. McCaan does that.

A 6th...is a gamble on a player.

Unsure Shero does this but he's done some very questionable things in his time.

But Larsson is who we should pry from Jersey, and older players are not what Jersey really needs. Severson supplanted the former 4th overall who is trending like Cam Barker right now and as such could be had for a relative bargain.

The Sedins and edler with Willie D might straighten him out. But again, that 6th is in fact in play for the right price. Same with Carolina's pick.

Just needs to be the right price

Oh look, another deal involving McCann :picard:

Ok it's just a proposal don't need to get all worked up about it. I really like McCann but if you could trade him in a package for Provorov would you do it? McCann at minimum is 2 yrs from making the big club Provorov by all accounts can step into the NHL next year. McCann's upside is Couture Provorov's upside is OEL. What is are most critical need right now? to me it's a top line young D-man who can control a game in every aspect pp, pk. pmd.

I think Benning is more interested in 2016 years draft rather than this one, probably hold Vrbata in hopes our young guys can develop into top 6 roles and we can move him at the deadline for a first on a team thats gearing up for the playoffs.

I'd be happy in trying to snag Larsson away from them... Although that probably means we'd have to trade one of our RD which is probably not easy.

Agreed with other posters, Adam Larsson could be a potential Linden Vey or Sven Bärtschi, but it would cost the Canucks more I think. I would be willing to take a gamble on Larsson with the 2015 1st round draft pick and Nicklas Jensen. Maybe that's not enough to seal the deal but I think it would be a risk worth taking. NJ have a lot of young defenders, they can spare to give one away.

Until we trade McCann, in which case our center pool becomes much more shallow. By all accounts, McCann was a steal in last years draft. Why waste that?

It doesn't matter. Benning has stated that he won't trade any of our top prospects anyways, so it's a moot point.
