billabong Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 The only way to get a top 4 dman in their prime is trade heaven and earth to acquire them or draft one pick the better of Broberg or soderstrom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this draft, this team will have had 6 top 10 picks in the last 7 drafts, the core should be in place. Time to start competing. Core Players: Hughes Juolevi Horvat Pettersson Boeser Virtanen Demko 2019 10th Overall We need some not 1st round picks to pan out as top 6 forwards or top 4 Dmen, possibly: Woo Gaudette Lind Madden This is a problem the Canucks are facing. Are they at the point where Benning feels pressure to make moves to save his job or does he feel secure enough to do what is right for the team long term? But is it really a case of either or? I have been thinking that since Horvat is 24 already, would it be harmful to add a player the age of Panarin 27 for example. Or is it better to just continue drafting and developing? I'm not so sure the former would be particularly harmful if they're not sacrificing assets. The knock on this I think is that if the player has a massive cap hit it could be a problem as the core players are coming off their ELC's. There has been talk of adding a 2nd tier player like Jason Zucker (27 $5.5M) but we've been burned before picking up a perennial 20 goal scorer . Lots of questions.

Its a results driven business and fans in this market are quick to pull out the torches and pitchforks. If it looks like he hits a home run on the draft floor this year, it could buy him some time. The Aquilinis take the long view. They didn't become billionaires by being myopic. 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see us shopping on Rodeo drive this summer (Karlsson/Panarin). But I also don't see us sifting through the bargain bin either. We'll likely be in the second tier, and that's fine IMO, likely picking up a couple solid pieces. Keep in mind, we've likely got a few more years of mid teens 1sts on top of this year's 10th (and seconds, thirds etc). And a few more years of development for the likes of Lind, Woo, Madden etc as well before we're expecting to be a legit 'contender'. People seem to keep trying to compare today's team to current contenders and lamenting where fall short. We're not going to stay stationary, the key is to continue to progress. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I successfully picked Roussel as a signing last year. I need to go through the free agency list for this year. i would say Silverberg but he's already signed lol. I can see us adding a 4-5m dollar top 6 forward if they see a bargain. A Tomas Vanek like pick-up would be ideal but we lucked out on that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Nyquist and Johansson would be nice adds. I can see them maybe considering Hayes but with Sutter and Gaudette I hope not. Nyquist and Johansson are both fast and highly skilled wingers. Either or could shift up and down in our top 6. Nyquist I can see digging the idea of playing with Petey. Nyquist and Jamie McGinn to battle Schaller for that bottom 6 role. Nyquist would be my main add imo. On D stralman would be fantastic but I can see him going elsewhere or possibly at even taking a pay cut to stay in TBL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent, what do you think of the Canucks looking to acquire one of, Dzingel, Connolly or Ferland as a complimentary player to play on the wing with Petey and Boes? They may not be viewed as top six material but may bring a added level of grit to that line while still having the ability to contribute as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be a good one for us, especially in the playoffs. The kid oozes character and is definitely willing to put the necessary work in.

McGinn, I think we have in Roussel already but not against signing him if it is a cheap short term deal. We need to trade or not qualify some F if we truly do want to see some change with this roster. Also, won't shed a tear if we decide to move on from Edler...doubt that happens though. Would have been more likely if OJ would have stayed healthy and been given some NHL games this past season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzingel, Nyquist, Lee, Nelson, Connolly, Ferland etc, etc... there's plenty of options and I think that's likely the market where we're headed. And being that it's a pretty flush market with lots of options, hopefully means it won't be a massive chunk in cap or term. Then when whoever we draft at 10 this year is ready, we move on from Baer and eventually this UFA can fill that 2nd line role when we're closer to a contender (and eventually be replaced as well, hopefully with a prospect). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Love reading all you guys getting excited about the draft...... It sure will be an interesting one, seeing what Benning does and all Just remember, the results will be 2 or 3 years down the road, unless another miracle happens Fingers crossed, everybody! Fingers crossed! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way we land it is trading up (involving 10th OA) or a deal where we take back Lucic. I have posted it earlier: There is an opportunity out there to "get something done" with the Edmonton Oilers. I found this message two or three months ago and thought it might present an opportunity to take on a bad contract: Jimmy Murphy: Heard that sometime between early January and when Ryan Donato was traded last week, the Boston Bruins and Edmonton Oilers were talking Jesse Puljujarvi. The Oilers insistent that Milan Lucic was included in the deal. I am really curious what Edmontons GM would offer to a team taking Lucic off their hands. Basically the Oilers are willing to sacrifice a 3rd overall pick in Puljujärvi to get rid of Lucic's contract. I assume that the Bruins had not the cap space to take on such a contract. Really interesting that Lucic implicitly agreed to waive his NMC/NTC - otherwise the Oilers management could not have included Lucic. First, the Oilers have to hire a new GM. That's the starting point. There are still interviews with some candidates Mc Crimmon, Hunter.... . Once they have found one things can get started....

Definitely interested in buying low on Puljujarvi but not at the expense of Lucic's contract. I truly feel there is a fit for both teams on a salary retained Sutter (Truly what they need) + mid pick (4th?) for Puljujarvi. If we did that we essentially get a high pick winger nearly ready to contribute and could then draft a D like Broberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a report talking about his skating improving. To be that will be his limiting factor, but if he can get that going he has the potential for a bottom 6 role. Has the grit and character, but needs to be able to catch them to battle. He was one of my favorite picks, but I just want to see him boost that element to succeed.

Bure_Pavel Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 If we can score a top line player or top pair Dman this draft it would go a long way... I think we should swing for the fences here. (high ceiling players) Broberg, Zegras, Newhook, Krebs, Kaliyev, Caufield, and Harley could all be home runs at 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
