Sean Monahan Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 “Apparently” couldn’t yield a draft pick. At times JB is criticized for being too open and honest and other times he’s accused of lying and deceiving us all. Whatever fits the narrative I suppose.

70seven Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I miss Vanek. I hope the Canucks are able to get him back for next season, but if he keeps playing like this, I wouldn’t be surprised to see league wide interest increase and him able to get a two year ntc in the 3-4M range.

Happy we had him this year happy he helped Boeser and wish we coulda got what we deserved for him but what can you do This is complete BS for the record I don't completely blame Jim Benning for this since the trade market and other GMs had Vanek's value pretty low. And why? Only because he lacked "intangibles" I'm sorry but that's just stupid. Points are points and you need them to score goals and win games. So yeah screw CBJ for not even giving up a pick and screw all the other GMs hiding behind the word "intangibles" for their anti europan bias. Fine if they want to build their team around players based on intangibles and not skill or production why don't they build their team around 18 Erik Gudbransons.

Except, Vanek has a long history of disappearing (if you can call 34 points in 63 playoff games that) in the playoffs. Other teams have given high draft picks in the past. GM's are now more shrewd. Look at the relatively low cost of Kane, and McDonagh at the deadline this year. Teams just aren't giving up the store at the trade deadline.

Teams just aren't giving up the store at the trade deadline. Still it's all equal. How many Playoff runs has Nash had as a Blue Jacket? How many Playoff runs has Evander Kane had? As for disappearing Vanek has 13 pts and is a +12 on a team was fighting for a playoff spot before the TDL. I'd say the situation is pretty high pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was offered for Vanek was....what was offered. There is only so much a GM can do to sweeten the pot. If the other GM doesn't want to give up a pick, there's not a hell of a lot that can be done.

If Vanek was in Toronto he would of had his tires pumped thus inflating his value.....see Kaberle pump job and two seconds for Polak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't have UFA's like Kane, Nash, Grabner. We don't have McDonough. Edler has a NTC. Sutter would be tough to fit under the cap for any team anyways. Sedins? Ya right.

Odd.

Take back a contract or something(which I guess we did but still ended up getting nothing for even doing that) Yeah you're right about not having UFA's to deal, because Benning seems to be missing the boat when it comes to signing players who we can then quickly flip for more assets. Doesn't make sense to trade Sutter or Hutton, Tanev is injury prone and his value is probably at an all time low. And Gudbranson was just re-signed. I can see Hutton or Tanev maybe, maybe getting traded at the draft but other than that, just can't see us moving anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
