Then we got 9th overall and passed. Freaking Eklund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could maybe see this type of deal happening. Anaheim is a very good call. Didn't even think of them. Those young guys have some experience which is what Dallas would want.

86Viking Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I would love Nuke on our team, but I just dont see us getting him. I think he is going to be very good. Is Nill possibly going to move Nuke prematurely like how Seguin? Doubt he moves Nuke unless he gets a young top 4 nhl D like the 2 i mentioned He has had injuries no doubt, but they would be selling low on him, unless a team is willing to pay premium price for his Potential You cant not look at his speed and size and not wish he was on your team.

I wouldn't mind Hamhuis + a 2nd for Nichushkin, anything more, it is too risky of a bet on Nichushkin. Since Hamhuis seems like a safe 1st rounder at trade deadline this year. hes a RW but hes a left shot. Most coaches myself included in nhl 16 lol. Prefer lefties playing on the left side :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's not rare, it does happen. I can think of players like Drouin, Yakupov, G.Reinhart, Nugent-Hopkins, Larsson, Johansen, Seguin etc. all being part of the trade rumours and speculation. And then later on, some players did get traded, or will get traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that, I think it's a fair deal. tanev is vastly overrated here, imo. I guess you don't follow other markets.. Tanev is very highly regarded around the league as a defensive defencman. It has also been said by many that the best way to get D is either free agency or developing them yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was purely from a Vancouver perspective that a young forward of that potential would still be a worthwhile asset to go after if the price is something we can live with. Even though organizationally we clearly need D more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavrohorvat53 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 30 minutes ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: Why are people suggesting we should trade a defenceman for a forward? We already have enough depth up front, and not enough depth on the blueline. Our need is a defenceman, not a forward. Yes we need defensemen but We don't need any more bottom pairing defensemen. And we know the price we'd have to pay for a top pairing guy. So it's just out of the question for us to trade for one as it would require one of our young grade A prospect to go other way. Forwards however are at a surplus and one with Nichushkins potential doesn't become available every day so if he's on the table JB will take a good hard look at the possibilities. As JB has stated they will try to draft and develop defensemen rather than going after big name FAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstewboy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Not sure how I would feel about Nichushkin on our team... Certainly would be good for our big Russian that we are hoping to sign at the end of his KHL season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a need for a 4-6 left handed defenceman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burke also reporting the same thing. A player like Nichuskin would take more to secure than just a rental like Hamhuis (especially considering Hamhuis would just come back to Vancouver anyways if given the chance) but this is the kind of guy that's right up Benning's alley. A highly touted prospect that has slipped down the depth chart a bit due to injury and has lower value right now than he probably ever will again. Listed as a 6'4 205 LB 20 year old RW, he's basically everything the Canucks are looking for when Vrbata is gone. Not sure how much it would cost but it's definitely an attractive idea.

DeNiro Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 If Nill wants to dump him I'd be worried about picking him up. There's too much potential to dump him now. There's gotta be something else there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
