iinatcc Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I would think Tampa would be looking for something like McCann + Baertschi + A 2nd round Pick. I would think Tampa might want to replace the skill they would lose giving away Drouin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think benning will be inquiring though, we have baertschi and shinkaruk, so unless one of those is going back in a package i dont see him making an offer. He hasnt proven anything in the nhl so hard to give up alot for "potential" Doesn't Drouin have better upside than Baertschi and Shinkaruk? If so I'd take a chance on Drouin if I had to give up either of those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanTSN Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 This will be a business trade. Tampa Bay should not have even been able to draft at #3 overall in 2013, considering how stacked their team has become without him. Now they are forced to trade this top prospect for relatively nothing. The Canucks should be able to trade Burrows, Higgins or Bearcheese for this player. Whether or not Drouin works out for the Canucks is a different issue. Until the departure of D. Sedin, it will be difficult for a playmaking LW to get top-notch icetime. A trade like this would be very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Industrious1 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Unless the Canucks want to give up one of our golden boys (Horvat, Virtanen, McCann) or some substantial picks this deal won't be happening for Benning. Not to mention i'm still of the belief that it is defense that needs to be worked on first. The blueline has absolutely nothing in the works that will help us build a winning team in the future.

87Crosby Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Ok I will take an honest no homer look at it. From the POV of the Canucks I would offer A roster player + a prospect + 2nd Round Pick. Now we can also offer 2 Roster players like Hamhuis+Higgins and take a cap dump i.e. Carle in return. I would offer Hamhuis, Cassels and a 2nd round pick.

TheHockeyNerds Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I can see why Vancouver won't be in the mix for drouin. We don't really need another winger, especially if we have to give up something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sestito Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 lol at thinking they should be able to trade Burrows or Higgins for Drouin are you out of your mind @BanTSN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Yzermans worked some miraculous moves imo. so it will be interesting to see how he makes out with a drouin trade and stamkos departure. if I was a bolt fan I'd be choked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Yzerman is going to want a player who can help their push to the cup and a prospect to replace Drouin. He'll ask for Baertschi or Shinkaruk + Vrbata or Hamhuis or Edler or Tanev + 2nd? something like that Now from the Canucks side, Drouin is an upgrade over Baer or Shink but does Benning also want to throw in another top asset and a pick. Gut the defense or scoring when they are challenged in both areas? Drouin has only played 19 games and is 2-6-8 +1 Bottom line, this deal is an upgrade on assets the Canucks already have. Shouldn't Benning use assets who are actually tradeable (Vrbata, Hamhuis, Prust, Higgins, Burrows etc) to fill actual needs?.......Defense.

Why not? He's busting over there, and his agent is forcing their hand. I'm not sure if the Canucks will get him, because they've already acquired Bearcheese to fill out the same role, but it will be a business trade, and an entertaining one.

Baertschi could gel well with stamkos we can offer our 2nd this year and columbus 2nd whenever that is. so costs us 3 2nds for drouin, when that is said its not enough though is it?

The Bolts went to the SC finals last year. I would bet Stevie Y wants a player who can help get them back there this year. Not sure the Canucks have that piece anyways.

Drouin has ellite skill, would love him here, but other teams are gonna have high interest and may overpay, I dont see Benning doing that, but its time Benning makes a decent in season trade now no? Am i having a complete brain fart other than minor deals he hasnt made a big move other than off season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would love tanev or edler but they arent getting a proven d like that for an unproven sophmore who has asked for a trade, not from us anyway.
