Monty will pleased IMO Saarela could be the best piece out of all 3 of those pieces. The Canes might just be a contender in the coming years. Sebastian Aho, Noah Hanifin and Aleksi Saarela all 2015 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 If Bickell can get traded with that contract I don't see why Vancouver can't trade Higgins or Burrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, if we throw in Jake Virtanen or Ben Hutton, we could definitely get some picks back for Burrows and Higgins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucypass Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 If I were the Canucks I would've made that trade. Getting Teuvo is worth it, for those who have seen him play know how skilled he is. Not to mention, Bickell's contract would've only been for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Burrows can be traded but JB will have to add a pick or prospect. Bickell does not get traded without TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedlee Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 TT is going to require a new contract soon and the Hawks likely don't have the cap room to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Wow, smooth. No real net loss for the Canes, though they are a bottom feeder that just took on a big useless contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but it would take virtanen or boeser along with burrows. Do you really want to make that trade when we're not in cap hell like the hawks and can handle burrow's final contract year with no problems?

It'd have helped if the Canucks were able to acquire some picks during the tdl or had Shinkaruk as a trade piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrible.dee Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I remember, the only thing I wanted for sure in the Kesler deal was Teviu.......and I still think, CHI should have offered him up. And that he will be a 60pt player. Well, those contracts to Toewes and Kane are coming home to roost, they are now hemorrhaging top young talent. Sorry, but it's time for another lock out, the weasels have found their way around the cap and it needs to be fixed. Along with contract length, no-trade cluses, max % of cap spent on one player and yes the instigator. The salary/albatross contract holes need to be sealed, ANY player should be eligable for trade, NO contract should be allowed over 6 years, at age 32 it should be 4 years max and so on, no player in this league should be making 10 million per, franchise player should be eligible to make 8, everyone else should be maxed at 7mil, they have so many other revenue streams from playing in the league, I don't know why they feel they need to wring every last dollar out of it, the journeymen? Sure, they need to make all the money they can as fast as they can, but the superstars are making so much cash that those last couple of mil makes no difference to their lives. Solve the rat problem by letting the exterminators, back in the game, and please.....no more micro managing refs, human error on their part is a part of the game, let them get a feel for a game and run it as they see fit. Including instigator penalties, which should only be given out if a ref feels a fight was started egregiously, without an in-game cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago did not want any roster players back due to cap space so they wouldn't want Granlund. And I think Chicago would rather take a chance on a draft pick than Grenier.

It's a highly exaggerated version of my perception of Jim Benning. I think he is a highly interesting and funny character to be honest. I wish I could draw really good because he is a cartoon waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
