Eastsidenuck Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 There are a few teams who stand to lose some quality young assets at the expansion draft. I don't think making a trade just for the sake of change is necessary unless it is a smart move. With that being said, there are some teams who may have to part with some young talent that could help our rebuilding process who may come cheaper now than ever. Not sure what it would take to acquire some of these players but I think it would be foolish not to give them a look. These teams could be in danger of losing these players to the ED: CBJ: boone jenner alex wennberg matt calver william karlsson Anaheim: silfverberg one of their young d men (Manson)? TB: namestnikov palat? just thought they would be worth a look if they can be had at a premium. Most are still young enough to help us moving forward for awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Right now the Canucks will likely protect the following players. H Sedin (NMC) D Sedin (NMC) L Eriksson (NMC) Horvat Sutter Baertchi Granlund Edler Gudbrandson Tanev Any trade you make with one of those vulnerable teams will require 2 things. 1st. You need to send back valuable draft exempt assets. And 2nd. You have to decide who from the above list you expose to the draft. Makes things a lot lot more complicated than simply trying to raid another team. Everyone is going to lose a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 It would be nice but IMO we won't see any trades until after the expansion draft. Just too many risks teams won't want to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear, each team will only lose a single player in the entry draft. That aside, if a team is in danger of losing one of those players, why would they trade away more of them? What I think you are more likely to see is protection deals, where a team like Columbus might send a draft pick to Vegas in exchange for not selecting certain players. McPhee has been on record stating that the way to build a team is through the draft and he is looking for these types of deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we could ask for a 2nd rounder or so from Vegas so that we make Alex Edler available for the expansion draft... #saveSbisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Hutton as my trade bait for a expansion deal. We get a better player, but the other club gets a good young d man that has upside that is protected. It could still work, but the Canucks need to move out another d man as well from the four unprotected players. It would be tough to lose three d men in one off season. The he only wild cards are College FA's, FA's like Alzner and the progress of OJ. If he beats the curve it would give us more latitude to make an expansion deal with Hutton.

Phat Fingers Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hutton for Boone Jenner. I would make that deal, and leave Baer unprotected. Hutton for Palat, sure. There is room but OJ would likely be rushed into the NHL next season. Trymakin bolting has really gummed up the defence rebuild IMO. We could have moved two d men easily this off season if he was still around. I wonder if if there is any College FA gems, if Pedan can be counted on for the 6/7 spot, McEnemy.... Etc. Awful thin to make a move with Hutton and also either trade away a d man or lose one to LV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful thin to make a move with Hutton and also either trade away a d man or lose one to LV. This might be a good move too to protect Nucks D a bit too. Now that Tryamkin is gone, I feel Nucks D is a little vulnerable. I am really high on OJ but don't want him rushed. I rather he 'stall' in junior than regress and get beat up at NHL. (I am not saying I know he is NHL ready or not, in fact I have no idea. I am just stating I hate rushing prospects and think slow growth is better than regression). If Sbisa or Baertchi are both unprotected, I think LV takes Baertchi, no? Nucks gain depth at centre with Jenner and expose a good winger where I believe Nucks have more assets at wing now. I hate to se Baertchi go, mind you, but every team is going to loose one and right now with Goldy and Boeser and Granlund and Dahlin and Virtanen the Nucks have young assets at wing. Maybe Sutter is better at wing too? More a shooter than a passer. Maybe expose him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Sutter gets picked but if he doesn't then no more Spizza delivery ever again. We need youth who are in a position to grow with the team and losing Gaunce doesn't help that cause.
