Gollumpus Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The Canucks moved a guy (who I do like and had hopes he would get some time here) but likely didn't have a big future in Vancouver, and a 4th for an guy who was an 8th OA selection from a few years ago. Pretty much means that this trade for Pouliot cost the team a 4th and a contract swap. If things don't work out here for Pouliot, I suspect that the Canucks can likely trade him for a 4th. Maybe they lose a couple of positions in the draft, maybe they gain a few positions in the draft. No real harm done. All it will cost them at that time is a qualifying offer at the end of the season to keep Pouliot's NHL rights (I do believe he will be a RFA at that time, yes?). If Pouliot plays better than he has in Pittsburgh, but doesn't want to stay here, then the Canucks may well be able to trade him for a pick higher than a 4th. If Pouliot plays significantly better than anticipated then the Canucks may well be able to trade him for a significant amount of assets (picks/prospects). If Pouliot finds his game with the Canucks, and wants to stay here, well it only cost the team a 4th round pick and a contract swap for a guy who was drafted 8th OA. Not a bad pick up. Pretty much break even, win or win with this deal. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with drafting Sid you still have to put together a talented supporting cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Red Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Sorry if I'm late. Any soundbite from Pouliot yet? Just saw the tweets a page back. I'm optimistic, but really liked Pedan. Met him once briefly. He's a real person, not fake or anything but what he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I like Green's chances - like with Baertschi (and Virtanen) - of helping Pouliot find some lost confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SliteriousBlackbeard Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 If someone would have posted Pedan + a fourth round pick for Pouliot, people on here would have said your crazy never gonna happen....... Super excited!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they would have just taken the next best offer, we'll never know. The point is if there's a young player out there he wants, he needs to pull the trigger, not sit and hope for the waiver pickup. Hopefully this trade ends up more like the Granlund and Baertschi trade, and less like the Vey one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I liken Pouliot's situation to Baertschi's. Both high picks who had lost confidence with their original clubs. Hopefully this one works out too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Just now, Jimmy McGill said: no I'm lol'ing at you thinking Pedan>DP I never said Pedan was better than dp that said he's done nothing to make him better either In the NHL Both are NHL ready prospects one provides depth and is in the farm because he cleared one was about to put on waivers and now will watch games from the press box because he most likely won't clear waivers hence the reason the Pitts gm traded him and got a 4th and a potential 5-8 NHL dman and current farm hand for instead of losing him for nothing. Some think Pitts were idiots for not pickup pedan off the waiver wire but then he would be stuck in the NHL the deal was most likely made before he went on waivers and hinged on him clearing. They don't lose a player or draft pick. Vancouver can't say the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I think the deal was waiting for Pedan to clear waivers. I heard they were in discussions for a couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
