Hortankin Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I for 1 am happy with our defensive play even after our string of losses. Our defence is tremendously better. However the goals are hard to come by. So here is my 2 options. 1. Trade Edler or Tanev for a young legit top 6 forward (Landeskog). 2. Fire WD and bring back Crawford or bring up Green. We have the offensive power we need but WD seems to be focusing on the defensive side too much. I could be just in panic mode and things may come around, but we can't be going into every 3rd period down a goal or 2 and expect to comeback enough to make the playoffs. There is also option 3, we can ride the year out like this ND see how things play out and then next year we get Boeser and possibly Juolevi. What does CDC think we should do?

Alflives Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Trade Tanev for sure. With Stecher and Guddy playing the right side, Tanev is expendable. Target a young forward like Sam Reinhart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedintwinpowersactivate Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I would target Jonathan Drouin. I think that Tampa is close to a cup and could use mature D man help in Tanev or Edler. I definitely think we would have to add to get a young dynamic forward like Drouin. He is a dynamic goal scorer that this team is lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 id turf tanev for a offensive winger guddy is defensive on right let stecher and tryamkin play our d pairing next yr can be edler stecher hutton guddy juolevi tryamkin pedan tanev brings no offense but teams would value his mobility and positioning for a cup run i say try and get drouin or landeskog that would help the offense and of course fire willie hes incompetent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drouin, ELC Edler Tanev $4 to $5 million on the cap of a team already tight against it and possibly losing Bishop as a result Not sure that's gonna work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just keep making trades when the team is not doing well, as matter of fact, it's the worst time to try and make a trade as all the other teams know you're desperate and will take advantage of that.

Ghostsof1915 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 The two forwards I'd like to see (and I've suggested before) 1) McCarron in Montreal. 2) Boone Jenner in Columbus (he's struggling has 1 assist in 7 games). Jenner in combination of Nutivaara (Who is waiver exempt). Send Nutivaara and Virtanen to Utica. Tanev, Cassels and Columbus' 2nd rounder back?

cripplereh Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 well Columbus has Saad who I think is the right age group that benning would want to bring in and they owe us a 2nd so would be good to try and get someone from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 The first three options. Hopefully the additions of Boeser, Juolevi, and (fingers crossed) a high end center from next years draft, coupled with a new coach and a young top six forward brought in via trade for Tanev will be enough to kickstart the offense.

2011 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 The core of this team needs to be re-established. Build around Horvat (Maybe Boeser and Juolevi too). IF trading a defenseman for a future core player makes sense, then I'm all for it. HOWEVER, I highly doubt this happens before the expansion draft. There is too much uncertainty with protecting players, that teams are too scared to make big trades without knowing what they may lose in the future. For example, if Van trades Edler (D) for Druin (LW), then Vancouver will likely lose a forward for sure (assuming they protect Tanev, Sbisa, Gudbrasson). Maybe that forward is Gaunce or Grandlund. Now Van would be in a position that in order to upgrade their LW position, they would have to weaken their Defense and Center positions. I'm not saying it cant happen, but trades like this would make more sense to do after the expansion draft, when the bigger picture is known. I also think that Willie D is not getting any better. Last night I watched the 4th line get taken advantage and scored on (1st or 2nd goal, cant remember which), in which rookie mistakes were made. And that opened up the question, why is Gaunce (rookie), playing on the same line as Zalewski? That is way too green to play against a strong Washington lineup. WD did a great job protecting his rookies with verterns in the past, so why is he feeding Gaunce to the Sharks? Also looks really bad when the home team gets shut out 2 games in a row. We saw that last year, I expect the team (coaching) to learn from their mistakes. Maybe its time to move WD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberWolf Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Trade old players for picks and prospects. The Sedins should be the only vets left on this team that earn top dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not winning the cup this season or next. What we need to do is accumulate young talent that will grow together hitting their primes to have another cup run in a few years. Trading Edler or Tanev now makes sense if we can get youngish goal scoring talent back. I like Palat and Johnson as well. But Johnson is at the high end of age I'd be looking for at 26 now. The key is move our assets that still have value now for assets that can help us when our new core will be ready to compete. For those that say trade the Sedins.... just stop.... that ship has sailed... they will retire Canucks and I'm good with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp79 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I would go with option A and B. Trade Tanev and a pick or prospect depending on the return. Like for eg Tanev and clb2nd for JVR and the leafs 1st top 5 protected Or if you want more of a player now Tanev our 1st top 10 protected for duchene or Landi, but im sure we would be adding for that to happen. Either way, Tanev is our best trade chip alom=ng with our first top 10 protected of course. I see Edler and Troy as better partners. Meaning Tanev would be on a 3rd pairing and he is way too good for that. might as well try to fix one of our biggest problems scoring goals. Not saying to do this now, but if in 10 more games were still unable to score, maybe that it is something they consider. Or just play with what we got and see what this season show us. If Bar and Virt don't improve, especially id WD gives Jake a top 9 roll our rolls 4 lines consistently at least we will have an idea on what if any progress was made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
