If we end up with the 3rd 4th or 5th pick I would package it up with Sbisa and move it for a future an offensive #2 center. I would love to see Sam Reinhart in a Canucks uni We are thinking along the same path. I just had in my scenario getting into the top 8 using sutter Edler and picks and retaining A bad contract to balance out the books. And grabbing a guy like Liljegren If we could walk out of the draft with either Patrick our Nico with our pick. And then nab Liljegren with the pick we traded for We would be in pretty good shape. The players I mentioned may need to be adjusted so if someone wants to laugh at my proposal. At least give your own example. Liljegren from what some scouts have said is at the very least AHL ready. Maybe NHL ready. Sutter can be replaced by Patrick or nico or even Dahlen if his club lets him go. From what I have read if he signs a pro contract over here he has to be released, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to rebuild it should be Eds And Tanev Tanev would give us a great return, If not keep him. Eds would get us a better return then Hut or pizza IMO. And only one needs to be traded in order for us not to lose Sbisa in the ex draft. I've said it before. I think Tanev is going to the Avs. Edler can be packaged up with Sutter and picks if needed. we take back a bad contract to balance out the books and move into the top 8 and grab Liljegren Devils might make a good partner. Are we still able to retain salary? I know we are with bobby lou. Is there anyone else still? I cant see a scenario where trading Tanev gets us equal value when you consider the hole that would leave on the right side. What do you think JB could get in return for Tanev?

I think Tanev A 2nd and a b rated prospect gets us Duchene From all reports for whatever reason 2 different coaches have yet to get him back to 3 seasons ago Maybe it is him? maybe not I would take the chance. Plan B is always ( keep in mind I'm holding back the puke as I write this cuz it would improve the oilers quite a bit) is Tanev a3rd for the Nuge and the oilers first. Tanev > Larsson. Hall> Hopkins. Keeping in mind inter-conference trading is always a bit taboo. Unless you are from the south lol. Edited April 15, 2017 by bp79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp79 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I would even do a trade for Ryan for Sutter The oil are going to be up against it when it comes to the salary cap and that trade saves them 2 million a year. Plus they are just wasting him on the 3rd line. If they wanted more we could add a pick or take back a bad contract. We will have over 17 mill to spend with only Bo as the big fish to sign. Plus the cap is going to go up as well. Sutter is a great 3rd line centre. and if in the future we needed to move the Nuge the wing. He would be fine there.

I also wonder about Duchesne from the standpoint that he's 26 and has had a decent but not great career so far. It just seems that his time in Col has actually been underwhelming. He's had little no playoff success so far and by comparison he is way behind Tavaris and Hedman and one wonders if he will ever really put it all together and become a top player in the NHL a la Toews Tavares Stamkos Edited April 15, 2017 by two drink minimum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I think maybe a change of scenery might be what he needs. Is it worth trading tanev for him? Tough call. I think with Guddy being as they are both right handed shut down D, and Tanev being in his prime and starting to wear down a bit it might be worth the risk. Especially if Subban ends up being able to translate his game to the pros and we are able to somehow get Liljegren at the draft. Or like I said As much as I like Sutter A swap of him and the Nuge would be ok as well I just get this feeling, with JB already saying he will add more top 6 talent this summer.and Tanev or a package of either Sutter or Edler being are best chances to do that I think 2 of those 3 are gone by the end of the draft.;l JB likes Sbisa He was right to get him he had done nothing but shut up all the haters by his play this year. I doubt JB lets him go for free. btw do you know when the ex draft is? Ps I think Tanev plus could get a deal done. based on the points you brough up Tanev may not be flashy buy he is elite at what he does. and tho fans may not see that Scouts and GMs do Edited April 15, 2017 by bp79 added more content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced OJ will be a 1st pairing D as it stands. Now that could change very soon and I'll be the first to admit I'm wrong but as it stands now I'd take MT before OJ especially after a very good rookie year. Look I hate to defend Flames draft picks but lets be honest here, he's looking like a steal at 6th oa right now. I bet the Blue Jackets and Oilers are kicking themselves too so we're not alone on this Wow, you have this knowledge based upon your extensive watching of junior hockey games? MT is a head case and will wear thin on his teammates just like he did in junior except at NHL level he cannot simply "move on". Second year in league when teams know he is coming he will be far less effective. Given the Canucks needs, OJ is a far better prospect but for some I guess the instant gratification is more important than hockey logic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If JB trades Tanner then he better have a back up plan to replace him on the top pair Left is Tryamkin's natural side but he played right side most of this year (and has previously in the KHL) and is adept at it. Nobody said we have any (ready) guys to replace Tanev. We're not a contender next year. IMO moving Tanev now, for a solid return, is more about the team in 3+ years being better. We have enough guys who are good enough to play those minutes and loosely 'replace' Tanev by committee. Edler, Stecher Hutton, Gudbranson Sbisa, Tryamkin ...would be perfectly fine pairings next year with Biega, McEneny, Subban, a UFA etc to get chances to fill in with injuries on the right side.

The guy wants to stay here, he can be a good mentor to some of the younger players. Tanev is more likely to be leaving, and I think we can get a good piece in return for him. If not, then best to hang on to him. I think if push came to shove edler would wave his ntc. But Benning wont pursue that. I dont think Edler is the mentor type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Spector Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Some points I see that need corrected: Edler IS eligible to be left unprotected. He has a NTC but not a NMC. I hope he is the one left unprotected. I don't see a Tanev trade until at least the summer. Tryamkin can play both sides. He has all year. He's just as comfortable on the right as he is on the left. There is no issue with trading Tanev and being short on the right side. Worst case is we have Guds and Stecher in the top 4 and we get a UFA to play on the 3rd pairing if we want to keep Tryamkin on the left side. Tanev won't be traded to Colorado. They already have 2 top right sided D's in Johnson and Barrie who earn even bigger salaries than Tanev. I don't see why they would trade for Tanev to play on the 3rd pairing.

If Tanev is moved, I hope is either for a young center or defender. This can be either for an NHL ready player or a good draft pick. Tanev could be this years Schnieder. Trade him at the draft for a pick to grab a specific prospect. If that trade is made, we protect Sbisa, Edler and Guddy so d depth will take a hit, but we will still have capable players. We have the depth to absorb some of the short term pain. Both Sbisa and Trymakin can play either side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
