NaslundLindenBure Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 To Florida: Vrbata, Hamhuis, Corrado To Van: 2015 1st, Kulikov The Canucks get the 11th overall and could draft Barzal with it. We also get kulikov who is a top 4 dman The panthers get Hamhuis who can be a mentor for Ekblad. Vrbata will help out their scoring. Corrado gives them another D prospecr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Could work. Will help florida get above the cap floor in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I highly doubt FLD is going to give you 11th overall and a 24 year old top 4 Dman with great potential to become full time top 2 Dman for 2 players in their 30's, who can walk as UFA at end of season and a B level 22 year old prospect. The prospect going to Florida would need to be better and a pick included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This is a trade deadline trade - iff we're sellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Definitely an intriguing idea (at least for the Vrbata and FLA 1st part, but yeah this trade's more likely for next deadline, unless we trade Radim like we did Schneider). Not sure why they'd give up on Kulikov though, he is young and part of their building process, and if they don't trade him then we'd better trade Hammer to another team or keep him. He should be in demand. Definitely not the worst idea; the rationale is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I don't see either GM going for that, not even at the DL. Benning wants to stay competitive, losing our #1 goal scorer and IMO best shut down Dman will not help us compete. It would help us get a top five pick next year though. Talon prob wont bite on a couple of old guys and a #6-7 D for...ya. It's a no dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wouldnt be a deadline deal either, as the incentive for Florida is to actually make the playoffs and generate some income and fan base. So theyd likely want them through the entire season.

Piggy Bank Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I dont see Fla pulling the trigger. 1. Who do you want... Barzal for 10 years to come, or Vrb and Hamhuis for 3 years combined? Barkov Huberdeau Ekblad Luongo Gudbranson Campbel Gudbranson Kulikov Pirri Jagr Bolland Upshall Kopecky Boyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 hamhuis is overrated and done sweet f all in last two yrs i really hope benning sends him packing hope some team falls for his amazing play in worlds lol cuz he stunk in van last yr 4.5 mill cap hit for one goal and countless turnovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonMexico Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Vancouver would need to give up more. Only if you undervalue Canucks players. If Andrej Sekera was worth a 1st round pick AND McKeown, Hammer is easily worth same if not more. Add in Vrbata who is a 30 goal threat, it would almost seem like an over-payment to me. Who cares how old they are, they are still the superior parts of the deal. There is no guarantee that Kulikov amounts to anything more than what he currently is and draft picks are always a gamble.

Rush17 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I think hammer would look amazing in Pittsburgh. Not that I want him traded but if we could get pouliot + for hammer that would be sweet. Might be able to land pouliot + another dec prospect. Kapanen perhaps? or a couple picks.. Isn't pitts 2nd mid range so maybe 2nd +. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiznac Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Change Corrado to Clendening and add our first and I would still do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sekera deal happened at the Trade Deadline last year, greatly increases his value. Also, LA knew their window was short. Their goal wasn't to just make the playoffs (like Florida is), but to win another Cup. Meanwhile, Florida is giving up two real good prospects/young players for two players in their mid 30s. Sure, it helps them make the playoffs, maybe even the 2nd round. However, they're obviously trying to build a team that can be a serious contender in a few years. Florida would be much better off trying to sign a free agent defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
