Kanukfanatic Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Canucks are not competing for the Cup this year (slim possibility they do make the playoffs though) so there is zero reason to be a buyer at the TDL. Wait for summer and work hard to sign UFA Mark Stone for whatever he wants. Then try for Myers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyoung Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Patience. If we make playoffs, great but if not then that's fine. Selling any pieces for rentals would be just shooting our future selves in the foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two completely different philosophy’s Good point. Parayko has been discussed in other threads, is that considered buying if we trade a pick and likely a prospect to get him ? It’s definitely buying behaviour, but it’s also something the next core has a gaping hole on right through the prospect pool (RHD) ... and he’s in the age group you want him at etc on a reasonable cap hit.

vannuck59 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 We can be both, buyers and sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coda Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 The canucks should not be buyers this year unless a deal presents itself that will benefit the canucks 3+ years in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I don't think JB will want to be a buyer as such but I could see him making good hockey trades (similar to the Leivo one) that would help us immediately as well as in the future.
