ynwa Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Quote TSN NHL insider Darren Dreger joined the TSN1040 afternoon show in Vancouver this afternoon and had a juicy rumor for Vancouver Canucks fans: don’t be surprised if the Devils or Flyers trade down in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. Currently sitting with the 5th overall selection, Canucks president Trevor Linden and general manager Jim Benning would love to be picking 1st or 2nd in the draft, but the sticking point may be the asking price from the draft’s top two teams. Dreger also asserts that the Colorado Avalanche and Arizona Coyotes may also factor into trade discussions, so the Canucks won’t be alone and could find themselves in a bidding war. When asked what it would take for the Canucks to acquire either pick, Dreger speculates that a package of the 5th overall selection along with a second round pick or top prospect might do the trick, but failed to highlight specific players. Darren Dreger @darrendreger: Wouldn’t be surprised if New Jersey and Philly put 1st,2nd picks in play https://t.co/5uPzbbPov5 — TSN Radio Vancouver (@TSN1040) May 9, 2017 https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/report-canucks-could-acquire-1st-or-2nd-overall-pick/?ref=trevor They could, but it would cost way too much for what is available at 1 & 2.

numb3r 16 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Wouldn't mind it if it's like our 1st plus a 2nd and something else, especially for a chance to solidify our future no 1 centre position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Our 5th/CBJ 2nd. Anything more, no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Dreger is a worthless source where this team is concerned imo. He's been far more concerned with trolling this team than being a professional journalist. Highly doubt anyone legit speaks to Darren Dreger regarding Canucks business or that there is anything at all to this aside from Dreger seeking some attention.

Ferlands_Head Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 The time to trade up was last year and 2014. No to trading up this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 It's beginning to look a lot like click bait season Ev'rywhere you go; Take a look at the TSN, rumourmongering once again And Dreger's nose just seems to grow and grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he's just trolling the fact that the Canucks fell in the lottery. He and Cox are about as pathetic as they come. i don't take a word he says seriously.

Where's Wellwood Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Canucks could trade up, trade down, or keep the 5th pick. Breaking news. 100% confirmed! Source: Me. I can state the obvious as well as Dreger can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggieBush Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 If true, I am almost certain it is a demand from ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Next year would be the time to trade up if the NHL rigs the lottery and screws us yet again. Not a big enough jump in talent to do it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is only if you are sold that there is a number one center to be had. I am not sure why but I just have a feeling that the better players in this years draft will turn out to picked outside of the top two picks.

HerrDrFunk Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think it'd take way more to get one of the top 2 picks than our 1st and 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
