Drakrami Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Our entire first line just retired and you think we are closer to compete? It is going to at least take a couple of years for a true first line to emerge and develop chemistry. Our roster for the past few years looks better than the current one and yet we were at the bottom of the standings each year. Sutter is a huge downgrade from OReilly, why would Buffalo make this trade? For Juolevi who no one can say for certain will develop into a NHL defenseman, let alone top 2? Buffalo literally now have 2 phenom in forward and defense positions. Last thing they want is trade away Oreilly who can provide experience and anchor their second line by popping 60 points a season.

ROR Juolevi + Sutter sign Jay Beagle Maybe it’s an overpayment, maybe it’s underpayment (flame away) but I think he’s a great fit. Baer Horvat Boeser EP ROR Virtanen Louie Beagle Granny leipsic Gaudette Gagner Edler Guddy Hughes Tanev MDZ Stetcher This might not be a Stanley Cup roster but it should be able to make some noise in the pacific division. The trade of course goes against the grain of the rebuild but ROR is only 27 and it would create more of a winning environment for the kids on the team now. Buffalos perspective OJ can slot into their future top 4 with Dahlin and Risto while in the short term Sutter can take some tough minutes away from eichel and Reinhardt/mittelstadt I would think they at least want to test drive Juolevi before considering dealing him.

scheif16 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 It's not worth to trade for ROR. Keep the young players, let them play and we might end up in the 26-31 range again but it doesn't matter at that moment. We have excellent young players in the system. The chances of making the playoffs with ROR arent much higher. So for us it makes no sense. Lets hope for jack hughes next year, we would be one of the best teams down the middle in the future.

IBatch Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 15 hours ago, NewbieCanuckFan said: Uh before we think about upgrading upfront, you might want to look at the blueline. Why deal one of the few legit D prospects we have? Have to think about the "long game". Benning didn't inherit what Gillis inherited. Guys like Edler & Tanev aren't going to be around forever. A few more years possibly, maybe less if they get traded (and Edler agrees). That would leave Hughes with a thin defense to work with. ROR would be great but don't see how this is possible without losing one of our precious future core pieces, I'd rather just wait sign a Bozak type to three years than go there, or just let the chips fall and play the kids and see how it goes. Looks like we are interested in Beagle, that would be fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Don't want to see the Canucks rushing their rebuild at this point. They are doing a fine job at methodically building a good team, so adding any vets long term will interfere with the process and create cap headaches in the future. They certainly can't afford to trade young prospects or picks. The team is still a year or two away from getting some PO experience, so in the mean time, will pick up a few more good prospects. It's not easy watching our team struggle each season, but I think the payoff in a few years will be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanisleryan Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Definitely no... Dont know about some of you... But nothing would make me happier than just watching entertaining hockey that still results in a high draft pick... We want to build a cup contender not a fringe playoff team to suffer in mediocrity for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCerebral1 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Sutter and Juolevi isn't going to be enough. They're looking for a 1st, 2nd and prospect. Sutter has no value to them. So this is quite light. If the Canucks can get him for this, great. But realistically, they laugh and hang up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROR is an okay player, but his contract is really ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanucks25 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Can't see Buffalo having interest in this because Juolevi is too much of an unknown. They already have Dahlin, Scandella and McCabe on the left side so there's no point in them risking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
