Horvat4captain Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hey everyone first time posting anything. Please tell me if im missing something in this post. So as of now our defence is arguably below average and regarding our young defenceman we have depth just no real top end talent. Hutton Corrado Tyamkin Subban Sautner Cederholm and Pedan. We may have 2-3 top-4 defenceman in that group of future defenceman but no true number 1 defenceman.o My proposal is to either aquire: Josh Morrissey Or Morgan Reilly(If possible) So what would it take to get one of these guys, my preference would be Morrissey as he would most likely cost less asset wise and could still be a 1-2 defenceman. Maybe something like To Vancouver: Josh Morrissey To Winnipeg: Brendan Gaunce Vancouvers 2015 1st round pick If im off in value please let me know and share your opinions. If its rediculous value please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 It would probably take too much. Benning has talked about it before and said that the prices are extremely high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what if we do horrible this year and get a top-10 pick would that make the trade more realistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 How about we do something radical like use our draft picks and draft our own d-men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horvat4captain Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 How about we do something radical like use our draft picks and draft our own d-men? But will there be a defenceman as good as Morrissey at 10th oa after Day and Chychrun are gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 i'm still thinking that benning might try and acquire shattenkirk...next year.....my dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Both those guy's aren't #1 d-men type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horvat4captain Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 i'm still thinking that benning might try and acquire shattenkirk...next year.....my dream...What would be the cost for shattenkirk? Imo it would have to start with Tanev+ or Hamhuis+??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 What would be the cost for shattenkirk? Imo it would have to start with Tanev+ or Hamhuis+??? it will determine st.louis' cap space...maybe tanev and a first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horvat4captain Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 it will determine st.louis' cap space...maybe tanev and a first... Steep but most likely worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 it will determine st.louis' cap space...maybe tanev and a first... Steep but most likely worth it I don't think St. Louis would do that. We'd need even more. Perhaps add a 2nd... at which point I get hesitant to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horvat4captain Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 I don't St. Louis would do that. We'd need even more. Perhaps add a 2nd... at which point I get hesitant to do it. I would rather add in a giy like subban the guy has good upside but not likely he makes the big show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 imo, shattenkirk is a #1 d-man...hard to get one of those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The concept is spot on. Morrisey, Bowey, Severson, Sanheim, Theodore, the day is probably gone where Pitt had enough prospect depth to deal Pouliot... But a stud two way D or PMD would go a LONG way to improving the pace of our ability to move the puck. As for the individual proposal, I just don't see that Winnipeg needs Gaunce. Not like Gaunce a former first round pick, and a first, is a chump change suggestion. Its just fit. They have Ehlers, Kyle Connor, Lemieux & Foley to work in at LW. Perreault & Matt Fraser to tide them over till they are ready. Where does Gaunce fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe a 1st Jensen and a 3rd/4th might fit their needs better. And Gaunce can play center. Maybe when sheifele takes 1c for them and lowry takes 2c gaunce could be the third guy in the trio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 What we need for THIS season are 1-2 defencemen who are close to NHL ready but are able to go up and down from Utica without being exposed to waivers. I am nearly 100% certain that we will acquire at least one before the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretzky to Lemieux Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I think we can do something like this; Mccann and a Anaheims 2016 2nd for Theodore If we can get another low first rounder next year (probably Vrbata or Hamhuis) we can do Mccann and the low first rounder for Haydn Fleury We can also do something like Edler for Bowey if we are way out of the playoff race and has decided now is the best time to trade Edler and get the most out of his value while he's still a top pairing Dman in his prime.
