brownky Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If someone would take Loui and my toaster oven for a single puck, I'd be on board with that. That's the kind of trade he should be targeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Several months ago I would have expressed a severe need for high-end forward line talent. But if you look at the guys we have in the system I think we have a decent chance of already having those players. Between Dahlen, Goldobin, Lind, Pettersson, Gaudette, Gadjovich, Lockwood, and maybe Palmu (and then let's not forget Virtanen and Boeser who are already with the big club) I think that all these guys have at least outside top-six potential if not significantly more, and I expect at least a few of them to hit that ceiling. So really, I'm not so concerned at this point in this regard. Primarily, I think our blueline is still thin on high end talent. I'm pulling for Subban but let's face it - he first has to make the NHL so it's a long road for him. Juolevi is our best prospect in this regard, but while he may turn into a fine defenseman I still am not at all convinced he is going to be that elite pmd we need in the first slot. Then of course there are the outside chance guys like Chatfield or Brisbrois but at the end of the day we have pretty much all our eggs in Juolevi's basket and I don't think that is wise. So I'd like to see high end draft picks or high ceiling prospects to shore up this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Ward Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Draft picks and under 24 year old players. We will have some serious cap space if we want to add older players. We need to accumulate more speed and skill in the system and hope that some of it turns out. We tried with Baertschi, Vey, Granlund, Kenins, Clendening, Subban, Hutton, Stecher, Corrado, Etem, Shinkaruk, Grenier, and some others and 4 of them became NHL regulars. This is how it works. The deeper and more skilled the pool, the better chance of getting a few great players out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toews Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Vanek was pacing 65 points with Detroit last year and all he was able to fetch was a 3rd. His poor playoff resume really hurts his value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone might offer a lot for Tanev.... but the bar was set high last season and he won't be any cheaper this year. Other than those two I don't see any big trades or picks coming our way. And I'd be happy to hang on to both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like Dahlen, or Goldobin, or baertschi? or like how sergachev was dealt this summer? Or forsberg was dealt to Nashville from Washington? Those are just some examples I thought of off the top of my head. Teams trade their top-end prospects all the time, it’s worth targeting them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I think TDL we trade some older players and get more picks or young prospects, then in the off season or at the draft make a splash but as of now no reason to make a big deal unless it is a steal!

Crabcakes Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 No Tanev trade please. The guy is so solid. He makes everybody he plays with better. What more could you want with a developing / rebuilding team? He's only 27 Moving some players like Vanek and Burmistrov, who are on 1 year contracts, at the TDL for picks or prospects would be suitable. Otherwise, it depends on the opportunity. If Puliot becomes any kind of a player, it's grand larceny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely. Tanev is fantastic and our steadiest defender but you got to give to get. While Tanev isn’t old he’s just in his prime now and will be out of his prime when our Canucks will be a playoff team again. We’re pretty crowded upfront so maybe send them a bottom 6 forward so Reinhart doesn’t push anybody out of the lineup. Tanev and Dorsett for Reinhart and a 3rd rounder.

J.I.A.H.N Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I think it should be draft picks now, we have plenty 2/3/4 prospects.......we need to swing for the fences.....we need high end prospects I always list all players I would trade, but I would never expect a GM to trade them all in one year..........but here is my list of vets I would trade Edler.............................................to Montreal for 2 seconds or to Ottawa for a late first Tanev ..........................................to Toronto for Liljegrin + a late first or to Arizona for a 1st + 2nd Baertschi......................................to Montreal for a 2nd + 3rd Vanek + Archibald .......................to Pittsburgh for a 2nd Sutter............................................to Edmonton for 2 seconds or Arizona for 2nd + 3rd Gudbranson..................................to Toronto for a late 1st + 3rd or Florida for a 1st ........................if he doesn't want to sign Hey, you throw enough $&!# on the wall, something is going to stick!
