whytelight Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 There has been chatter lately on the Canucks acquiring a top line to replace the Sedins either by draft or by trade. If today was, lets say, July 21, 2018, what teams do you think would have a top-flight rookie centerman that they could part with and do we have the assets to trade? I'm not proposing any trade deals here, I'm just wondering what teams have an abundant (because they've picked high for the last several years) of centers. Or, what teams have a young 1st line centerman playing behind two already established and highly productive centermen that they could dangle for a top D....lets say Tanev for example. Who would make good trading (dancing...the metaphor behind the title) partners for the Canucks? Our assets seem to be leaning towards goal and D. So, are they any teams in need of quality talent in goal and/or on D that would be willing to part with one of their over stocked centers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GettinGuddyWithIt Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 A lot will change by 2018 so there's really no point in discussing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMillerTime Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 2018 has a good draft. Veleno, Mcleod and Levin. All can play centre and we will probably have another good draft pick in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Buffalo has some good center depth with Orielly. Rienhart, Eichel Colorado had been rumored to be dangling Duchene Oilers will likely have moved on from RNH Canes have Staal, Rask, Lindholm, Teravainen Stars have Seguin Spezza Faska Panthers have Barkov Bjugstad, Trochek, McCann Islanders have Tavares, Nelson Strome Barzal Flyers have Giroux, Couturier Laughton and Konecny Leafs have Matthews, Nylander Marner, Kadri, Bozak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto things he's going to be a center http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/mitch-marner-expects-to-play-centre-on-toronto-maple-leafs/ Either way, they have a lot of players that have the ability to play down the middle. Some players will become available if canucks were interested. Personally I would rather move edler for a pick and try to draft our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Huscroft Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Damn. Remove Bozak and the Leafs look really good down the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Not sure what you are suggesting? We have decent goal tending and are just starting to build a defense. We are not deep enough to be be moving a defenseman or a goal tender. We are just starting to build depth and are not deep enough to make any deals....... The Gudbranson trade used up any depth that we had. We all need to realize that we are years away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
