Sign or not, and if so, for how much? I expect that Vanek will be traded. Sorry to see him go, but he was signed to be traded, and he can always be re-signed as a UFA (should he wish to return to play here).If there is enough competition for his services by the TDL, maybe he could bring in a 2nd (say the lower pick with a team who have two 2nd round picks), but easily a 3rd and a reasonable prospect. Dowd for a 4th, or if not, then the Canucks should offer him a contract for at least a one year deal and something above the league minimum. Sign Archibald. If the Canucks can make a deal which includes Gagner then they should do it. It's not that the team is in need of cap space, or that he has done poorly (to my mind, he's around where he should be for the games he has played). I do see there being a bit of a logjam forming and it might be good to make some space. I would prefer that the Canucks not trade Baershi or Granlund, but I could see them included in deals as depth forward acquisitions by another team. I suspect that a d-man will be moved. Not Gudbranson or Edler, and likely not Tanev (although there's still a chance assuming some other team comes up with a very high type of over-payment offer. I can see Del Zotto being moved (I like his play this season). Hutton could be moved, or maybe even Biega. Something in 3rd round pick at the lowest, or perhaps a 4th for Biega. If they can get something for Nilsson then the Canucks should take it. (perhaps a 5th - 4th?) regards, G. Del zotto? "I like his play this year?" He is quite simply a defensive nightmare and by saying that, you have lost all credibility going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that transition to a younger team when you sign a guy with past concussion issues who was 31 freaking years old????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its because LENNING is incapable of making the tough decisions. Rookie management like these guys constanly make mistakes and don't learn from their mistakes. Whats the definition of insanity?

Nucker 67 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 2 hours ago, canucker1971 said: Lennings trade deadline plan is as follows: 1) Re-sign Thomas Vanek 2) Coddle the Twins until the end of the season, then watch them bolt back to Sweden. 3) Not actual trade anyone and tell the world that he is excited about the group of guys that he is. 4) Tell Canuck Nation that he wants to acquire some toughness, but, then not actually get any. 5) Re-sign Edler, and telling fans he is the Canucks #1 dman You might just be right, except for the Sedins thing. The Sedins aren't "coddled", and I doubt they bolt back to Sweden (eg. Naslund, Forsberg, etc.). This is their home. I can see Edler re-signing for 2 years and then retiring as a Canuck. Benning will try to make trades that improve the team. That's his job. But if a deal isn't in the best interest of the team, maybe nothing happens. That's a possibility. Benning did acquire toughness (Dowd, Archibald, re-signed Guddy), and he isn't done. Vanek might be re-signed of we can't get a good enough return. That's a possibility too.

I like Archi. Gudbranson is big but doesn't play tough. He is too nice of a guy. He isn't mean. Canucks need mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
