This is because Benning is gonna protect Pearson.......... 1) Horvat 2) Miller 3) Petey 4) Boeser 5) Motte 6) Pearson 7) Lind Bye bye gajd. Unlikely they pick Holtby or Myers..

Too bad he didn’t have Virtanen’s speed, just wish Virtanen had Gadjovich’s dedication and consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not protect Motte and Lind over Gadjovich, and too bad a no trade protects Pearson - the fact that he is overpaid in his new Sutter-like, Beagle-like, Roussel-like contract protects the Canucks from having Pearson poached.

Unlikely they pick Holtby or Myers.. I protect Gadjovich over Motte to be honest. Probably not a popular opinion but it would be insane to give away Gadjovich not knowing his full upside. We know what we’re giving away with Motte at least. He’s a great bottom 6 guy but not irreplaceable. Expose Motte, Myers, and Holtby and hope they need a goalie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Eriksson might be one of the gentlest players I have ever seen - Cliff Ronning had way more bite than Louie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motte is a fantastic bottom six guy, but there's the chance Gadjovich could be more than that. Or a solid bottom six guy in his own right. Though I'd be fine exposing Pearson too.

A no trade does not protect Pearson only a no movement. He has apparently been told by Benning that with his extension the team intends to protect him. I agree with your list, my protection for forward would be: Pettersson Boeser Miller Horvat Pearson (not my choice but apparently we are) Lind Gadjovich Virtanen and Motte would be the prime targets for forwards but hopefully they go with Holtby as he is one of the better (by reputation at least) goalies that would be exposed and able to handle a starter role 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that Vegas had such a wide range of players to pick from that were of quality, they went the route of win now and compete. Looking at their picks, they chose mainly established NHLers and the few prospects that they did choose were highly prized ones that couldnt be protected like Leipsic, and Pulkinnen. Additionally a huge part is that Jonah will be an RFA this coming summer for the expansion draft. As per expansion rules, of the 30 players picked, 20 must be signed through 2021-2022, leaving space to select only 10 RFA or UFA contracts in the expansion. Considering looking at the list of players from teams there will be a lot of RFA options who are better players than Gadjovich, I'd think Seattle would rather use those 10 slots of them instead of Gadjovich. However, they would have to like Gadjovich A LOT to use him in the 10 RFA slots. I would think Seattle would likely want a team that is ready to go and get a lot of W's to start off especially being a new franchise, they want to grab the fans attention right away, I'd fully expect they will go for cheap proven NHL talent. At this point I think I am more worried about losing MacEwen or Motte potentially. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be worth surrendering a mid round pick to protect Motte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
204CanucksFan Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Yeah I'd be fine if Benning traded a 3rd, or heck, even Virtanen, if that's what it took to get Seattle to take Holtby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
