MedicineHatCanuck Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hamhuis for Carrick and a 3rd. I like Carricks over skill set, plus he is a right handed shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcphee's contract was expiring and he knew this was his last chance to make a deep run. So he gave up Forsberg in a terrible trade. This is what happens when a GM gets desperate. That might go down as one of the worst trades of all time. Naslund-Stojanov esque. Rutherford's just as bad though. Depres for Lovejoy.... Still can't figure that one out. He's desperate too, we might see another similar swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a ridiculous trade for all of those reasons. But if you are the gm who manages to get a Forsberg for Erat you are a god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid is pretty raw yet..I dont know if its mentality or nerves and learning positioning. That LA game he just looked lost the entire game. I'm sure he will be an NHLer just not right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to get a nice piece. They don't have a 1st, I'd say we get a 2nd and a mid range prospect. Not holding my breath for a Forsberg type deal. Those mistakes are very rare. Once a decade, maybe longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPhee wasn't thinking or he was trying to save his own behind at the time of the trade. well. it back fired and he's no longer with the team. GM has got to do what's best for the franchise. which is why I admired Nonis for not making trades just so that he could possibly keep his job with the Canucks. he got canned at the end of it. but he stuck to his guns. with other trades. he just wasn't very good. lol. Gillis just wasn't good at drafting for a while. left our prospects pool pretty bare when he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right about Nonis holding onto Kesler and Edler, or whatever that rumour was, but he got another chance in Toronto a blew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Sucks they don't have a 1st rounder this year but Derrick pouliot and Our second rounder in 2016 (which is currently in pittsburghs possession because of sutter trade) and we will call it a day.

CALGARY! Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 somewhere in the proposals board someone made a thread about the value of the teams vets, and Pittsburg was one of the teams I saw as having interest in Hamhuis, both as insurance for there high injury rate, and as someone who can play solid minutes on the third pairing and move up to the second pairing in the event of an injury, I can see vancouver grabbing a 2nd and maybe a b prospect for him too, not to shabby.

theminister Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I believe this is a more likely landing spot for Hamhuis than Washington. Pouliot would be a great fit for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have one more year waivers-free as well? Was he playing the right side with Cederholm in Portland or was Anton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he playing the right side with Cederholm in Portland or was Anton? He's great with the puck, not so great without. Isn't physical enough as a pro yet but makes a good first pass and, most importantly, moves out of his own end at an NHL level already. Needs work on his gap control and D reads. Those parts of his game are not NHL quality yet. I was thinking he'd need to clear but upon reflection I believe you're correct that he does have a year left before waivers. Pouliot played RD to Cederholm's LD. But he switched in junior to either side with ease. I think we could pencil him in as a RD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 And before people inevitably come in here and say that Hammer can't get Pouliot... Remember that we could likely be trading him with 50% retained and an extension. Also, Ben Lovejoy got Simon Despres. I repeat...Ben Lovejoy got Simon Despres.
