TheGuardian_ Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 C'mon people, it is just ideas, good, bad or ugly the trade ideas BUT the overall concept of going all in this draft is not without merit. Vancouver has a couple of advantages this year, one is time, this market is not or should not be expecting a playoff run next year or maybe even the year after whereas there around 20 teams expected to be much better. This coming season there is a disproportional number of teams needing to re-tool and teams that need to make the playoffs, add to help go over the hump or at least show marked improvement for their fan base. This is a deep draft and even if the team gets decimated getting draft picks, next year will also benefit from a very, very young team that would struggle. Off hand would more fans show up to see Dahlin? What I would suggest is a list of teams that MIGHT be desperate enough to deal their #1 and MAYBE why. Whatever it is just entertainment and fantasy stuff. Buffalo - Many players have come out about being tired of losing, this is a really big deal, they can't wait for a pick to develop, even Dahlin will need a year or two to adjust. Boeser? Carolina - A new owner that has stated guaranteed improvement, his own hand picked GM, they were close but have needs in several areas but they are a hard sell. Montreal - They haven't missed the playoffs two years in a row since 1999, they have Price starting his 10 mil deal, An aging Weber at huge money, the fan base, even worse than Vancouver meaning big pressure to get players, not prospects. Ottawa - Need cap relief, money and improvement for Karlsson, defence and goaltending, they could go the blow it up route too though although their owner is not financially sound and has stated guaranteed improvement so salary relief may be a big buyer here. Detroit - Hmmm, what are they going to do? Even though it has been indicated that they will move the pick for players, they might just decide to go into a rebuild for a couple of years. Arizona - Are loaded with prospects already, they need support players and to show improvement big time, they finished ahead of Vancouver 2 of the last 3 years, they have oodles of cap space but again have lost huge money over the last 3 years and another owner is unhappy. Retaining salary might be a method of enticement. Chicago - Kane, Toews, Seabrooke, Keith and Crawford, all getting big money, most with a lot of term yet, all getting older and they have cap issues, they could use complimentary players, experienced journeymen at low cost. Guys like Granlund and Sven or others as well as a possible veteran trade, maybe something like a Gudbranson for Seabrooke deal throwing in Hutton with salary retention and a prospect, some type of deal. They will not go rebuild with those guys still around. Fast re-tool. NYR - Another hmmm, they could go any direction, they have a boat load of picks this draft and their team is filled with guys entering their prime, loads of cap space and money isn't a problem. They could deal for specific pieces. They are very well set up to re-tool and sign some big name FA's or do big trades, which they have done in the past although their is a new sheriff in town there. A difficult team to deal with and competitor with the Nucks for the same trades offers. With 3 picks in the first round they might move theirs. Again, maybe Tanev or Edler. Edmonton - The window is open, they need a player to keep up with McD that can hit at low cost, they have other needs as well on defence, they need a defensive dman so Larsson can be more offensive minded, they need cost certainty. A combination trade might be a possibility for their pick and a prospect/player. I keep on the Puljujarvi idea, they will not be able to afford him in 2 years. Virtanen fits with McD. NYI - Taveras, that's all that really needs to be stated. Lou trades firsts for goalies, NYI has 2 firsts. Demko? okay wasted enough time on this subject, and this is just for fun. But the team could move Boeser, Tanev, Virtanen, OJ, Gudbranson with a little massaging, Sven, Granlund, Stecher, now all at once would be really blowing it up, but they could do a deal or two for another first, IMO I like the idea of getting the #1 overall and I think it could be done, expensive but I think the Nucks have the right pieces without giving up their own #1.

Solinar Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 You can not build a team thru the draft in 1 or 2 years time, because that would put you into cap hell, quickly. You have to be gradual, so that you have the flexibility to either sign or trade those who are coming up or ageing out. You want to have a cycle, not a bright fire and burn out. SO! You want to have 2 or 3 coming up from each draft year, and that doesn't mean you need 2 or 3 superstars. I think you want to try and if you're lucky, you could possibly get that many gems per draft, but I think it works out that you can get a star once every 3 years, and a superstar every 5. In a normal draft cycle with good drafting, luck, and not having to sit at the bottom of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it. Come up with creative ideas. But come on, a rebuilding team like the Canucks, IN NO WAY, should even consider trading Boeser (or Olli to a lesser extent). In Boeser's rookie year he did everything possible other than almost breaking his back. You do not trade elite goal scorers and that is what we have in Boeser. There is no possible way to pretend it is a good idea. The other thing is, no matter how one tries to justify it, Buffalo would never never never trade Dahlin.....NEVER. Some of the other ideas though...sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that everyone is trade able assuming silly over-payments are offered if a team has depth in a position. Right now I think that Boeser would never be traded barring some silly unrealistic over payment. The Canucks have trouble scoring and other than Boeser, they are very thin depth wise in that department. GMs should listen to offers but realistically Boeser will not be traded (any time soon).

Indeed, but we've seen for years what happens when you have a bright shining light, but no supporting cast... I just hope that we manage to stay the course, and draft wisely for the next few years. And get a little lucky....which is...Un Canucklike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Okay, so I don't want to get rid of Boeser, OJ, Gaudette or Virtanen etc............that is the start of our new core But I question anyone who says we can't draft 13 guys in one year..................or anything like that Let is just say, all 13 players drafted turn out and give us NHL players............OMG..........what a terrible thing So basically, Phili should have stopped drafting Dmen, because they have too many I guess Nashville was doomed once they had too many Dmen? Remember guys, this is fantasy and maybe not all the suggestions are not great, but there could be the basis of a trade in there Grab one and let's work with it.........now admittedly I have to go back and look at them again, but just dumping on a guy, is not very encouraging and just for the record, Guardian was on to something there, and had my attention, until he started suggesting moving the young ones But the idea, of starting a list of teams and what they need isn't a bad one...... Cheers........remember it all equals out! Be happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solinar Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 lol, if we're doing pure fantasy, Tampa cap dumps Hedman, Stamkos and Kucherov to us for Edler! And a pick to be named later >: ) For right now, I'm only going to say our only cornerstones at the moment would be Pettersson, Juolevi, Demko, Boesser, and Horvat. Everyone else should be considered. Maybe not actively shopped, but would listen to offers, and would try to find upgrades. Intriguing prospects that are in the system that I would hang onto....Gaudette, Chatfield, Brisebois, Lind, Gadjovich, and Dahlen. And if I could get Noah Hanifin for a combination of one of those guys, an active player on the roster, and a pick in the 2nd round, I'd leap on it.

Would you make minor tweaks to it, what are your arguments against them The point is just like the Canucks Draft Video, a discussion is started, and if people just say nothing, then nothing is gained Even here on CDC it should be a negotiation, and a tweak here and a tweak there, and yeah I can get behind that move Our up votes should be used for approval in principal, and as I have experienced, a no comment will kill a thread quick enough My point is....we are all Canuck fans....let's work together more and enjoy it Those with experience and large up vote should comment progressively to teach ion some ways We should be a collective in large part I know, I have more questions than answers, and don't mind constructive criticism, but really appreciate when CDC answers with a solution Please feel free to tweak mine or disagree constructively Cheers Please remind me of my words when I fall from grace......thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 This management will be looking for ways to prop this team up, not gut it. It wasn't in their DNA four years ago so I can't see it happening now. I will be happy if we use the picks we have. It would be good if they could land another second or a third. Some lower level deals . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Players that could be moved. If the return was solid. Tanev Guddy Sutter Baer Granlund One of our goal tenders. LE ( we can dream) Any of these players would need to see a high pick or nhl ready prospects in return. I am all for tanking at the end of a season but we don't want to see this club stripped down to the point where it will take 10 years to recover. I think we are two or three high end talents away from being competitive. Some of these could already be in our system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
