The_Rocket Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 In your opinion, what type of assets should Benning target if he trades some of our vets? >Draf picks >Young prospects >roster players to give you some hypothetical examples, would you rather do: Tanev for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins + or Tanev for Liljgren + or Tanev for a later 1st round pick + you can can decide if more needs to be added to either side of each trade to make it happen, but the question is, which one of these trades would you be most happy with?

ken kaniff Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I would go for Liljegren +. I think he's going to be a stud and wanted Benning to trade up and grab him last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Man this team has old players. This 27 year old veteran defenseman is dragging this team with his oldness. Can he even skate anymore with those degenerating hips? How can he hold his stick with the arthritis he has? I'll keep him around thanks. We need some senior citizens on the team.

Who were trading isn’t the point of this, it’s more about what we should be looking to get back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Like Linden says, 'the Dahlen's, the Goldobins, the Pouliot's...." I'd prefer to see prospects year +1 or +2 after their draft year than picks particularly D, but thats pretty hard to come by. I wouldn't want any roster players unless they just signed their bridge deals. On Tanev specifically he's so solid that it really needs to be a great deal, so if TO offered Liljegren and a 1st that would be in that category imo. The Canucks aren't in a desperate position this year so we don't need to fire sale any veterans. I doubt we can get another top 10 pick - none of the bad teams need a Tanev or Guddy e.g., so the chance of getting a high pick one of those is very very low (take AZ or COL e.g., they don't need Tanev and/or won't give up a high pick for him). I think Jim can sit back and wait for calls this year and see what offers are presented. A lot is going to depend on the randomness of injuries on other teams.

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Would be nice to have a bonified future top pairing defenceman. Juolevi is far from future-elite and had a poor training camp but will still be a good top-4 guy. Pouliot could end up being anything but I still see him as a decent top-4 defenceman. Stecher and Hutton have taken a step back this season but will probably be bottom-3 defencemen. Subban is the wild-card of course. With Juolevi and Pouliot on the left side, it would be nice to nab a top-pairing right handed defenceman. This would drop Stecher and Gudbranson down and slowly replace Tanev over time. We've got plenty of assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 With the hypothetical in mind, I'd prefer young prospects or draft picks. Generally cheaper due to potential that is untapped and less certain. Also more risky, but that's the way it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Draft picks in rounds 1-4. Stock the cupboards fill the shelves. or draftyear +1. any unsigned ufa at the TDL should also be moved just like in years past this club cannot afford to let anyone (of any value) walk for free. horvat,boss,virt. Sedins Untouchables. Everone else for the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe don't ask two days before the deadline. It was reported and vrbata and hamhuis confirmed with one week till the deadline niether had been approached . Regardless of the what's happened in the past benning seemed to have learned last season have guys prepared to move prior to the last second. vrbata also said had he been approched earlier he would have waived his ntc but since his wife was due it added another wrinkle. I understand what your saying thou if you give a player a contract with a NTC or MNC you've handcuffed yourself and they can rightfully choose to stay and walk away for free. edler has made it very clear he will not waive.

Agoork Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Similar to Burrows and Hansen.... good 19-22 year old prospects + picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got plenty of assets. This is what I view as well. When trading our vets (whether it’s vanek, gagner, edler, Tanev, sutter, etc. ) we should go for high profile 19-20 year olds. Mid round picks can be acquired as supplemental pieces (e.g. Hansen trade). Would be interest if TO is willing to spend that much for Tanev, but they are clearly in need for defensive help if the want a deep run this year and they have so much young talent that they might be willing to take the plunge.

Its worth it, particularly for a free agent that you didn't have to give up any assets for. Anything added at the end is gravy. I'm OK with Jim's approach, players appreciate it and I do think it will lead to us being able to sign quality free agents if they know that they will be treated well here. And honestly for a floater like Vrbata was in the playoffs what did we miss out on? I doubt there would have been any serious offers after that performance against Calgary.

VegasCanuck Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 At deadline, Vanek = 2nd rounder, maybe a little more if he has a really strong year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Vanek + a mid round pick or B prospect (brisbois or Subban or Lockwood or whatever) for a goldobin/Dahlen level prospect? Would that be better then just Vanek for a 2nd rounder?

Would that be better then just Vanek for a 2nd rounder? I believe this is supposed to be a reasonably deep draft. Personally, I think we've done a good job of accelerating a rebuild by adding guys like Goldobin, Dahlen, Granlund, etc., now we need guys that will be filtering into the lineup for years to come, not everyone trying to find a spot at the same time. Considering how well Benning does in drafting past the 1st round, I'm completely okay with a 2nd. Maybe add something to get us up into the 1st round if that's an option.

48MPHSlapShot Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It depends entirely on the player/pick. I don't think there should be a "formula" that Benning follows, as long as the assets we're getting in return are young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If I'm Benning, I'd look at moving Edler, Baertschi, and Vanek. As well, inform the Sedins that the Canucks fully support their decision to retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
