dank.sinatra Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 This is why you'd make terrible general managers... Luca Sbisa currently doesn't have a high trade value, especially at this time of year. Currently, every team is trying to trim their roster. Teams are looking to drop bottom pairing defencemen, not add them. At the moment, Sbisa may fetch a 3rd to 5th round draft pick, if anything. Vancouver has been gifted with a denfenceman who is bursting with potential and currently looks ready to play in the NHL in Troy Stetcher. However, Stetcher does not have to clear waivers and could perhaps even improve on what he has already shown in the preseason by spending time in Utica. Vancouver also has another two young defencemen who need to be eased into full-time NHL roles in Tryamkin and Pedan. Keeping Sbisa allows this gradual integration to happen. At the trade-deadline Luca Sbisa's value will sky-rocket, potentially greatly if he has a half decent season, which he does actually seem poised to do. GMs wet themselves for d-men of Sbisa's breed at the deadline. This is when Sbisa should be moved. Moving him now would be terrible asset management and put an awful lot of pressure on players who may not be ready despite showing great potential. After the deadline Vancouver will have gained an asset much greater than the actual value of Sbisa in the trade and can then allow the young d-men to take a larger role at a time when they are much more prepared. This will limit the inevitable mistakes made by rookie defencemen, making the team better in the present and building our young players confidence to make the team better in the future. While moving Sbisa at the deadline will surely help the team in the future. It's called foresight, many of you seem to lack it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny in Vancouver Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hey there, there's a few of us who are the realistic members group who were willing to include Biega and Pedan to the Sbisa deal for McDavid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot the 2nd round pick. Which you would then complain about never drafting anyone in the 2nd round in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's the problem... Playing in Van with one of Larsen, Pedan, Tryamkin does not at all suggest that his value is going to be going up. The OP is right though that there will be much more demand at the trade deadline which is equally important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 The Canucks also have to expose a defenceman with 70 games played (I think) over the last two years in the expansion draft. I believe Sbisa needs 29 games to qualify. If you have to expose someone, it would hurt a lot less than an Edler, Tanev, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with your observation if it were any other year but this year, that is because of the Las Vegas induction in 2017 which means most teams will not want to add and / or not want to give up much for a player that will have to be protected.

I am far too passionate a fan to be objective. I think you are too. Asset management = Trade Sbisa for Jamie Benn. Campy Jim can get it done.
