J.I.A.H.N Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Here is my daily proposal/discussion Just went through the NHL teams, looking for a young RHD for us...…….nothing jumped out that we could easily do a lateral trade But what did jump out at me was that NJ really needs some forwards, at pretty much every position, they have no mid level wingers...……….so I think there is opportunity there for a trade, involving their very nice 2019 2nd...…. Trade #1. Baertschi + 2020-3rd...……..for...……….New Jersey's 2019 2nd (34th OA) Take a look at Buffalo and they have 2 UFA wingers in Skinner and Pominville, and are also looking thin at LHD, and although there is no way we are replacing Skinner, replacing Pominville, and or the LHD should be something we look at...….. Trade #2 Tanev + Leivo...………..for...………….Buffalo's from San Jose 2019 1st (26th OA?) Here are my reason's for thinking these are moves we can make, and will benefit for making them...………..first off we reduce our cap by approximately 9 Million. Secondly, we have the an abundance of Left Wingers, and Pearson, looks to have solidified his position as Horvat's LWer, at least for now. And Baertschi days are numbered here, as Benning has said he would like to up grade his #1 Left Wing, and his starting RHD. I also have the belief that Schenn has done a great job, and should be rewarded as a 3rd pairing Dman, allowing us to move Tanev. Along with an earlier proposed trade, of Virtanen for LA's Toffolli (RWer for BO)., we would be a much more solid team, with a late 1st and early 2nd, we would have a much better time of picking up some very good depth players and maybe a starter or 2 if we are lucky...……. I would suggest walking into the 2019 Entry Draft with...………. Vancouver's 2019 1st-10th OA San Jose's 2019 1st-25th OA New Jersey's 2019 2nd - 34th OA and our own Vancouver's 2019 2nd-40th OA That is a great group of picks for work with At the end of the day, we fill in our holes on LW, RW, and LHD and still have players to play behind these guys in depth roles......and keep our cap in a better controlled place...………..and look like this...………….. Ferland Pettersson Boeser 10th OA - Pick a Forward...…………...Krebs/Zegras/Boldy/Dach…………...on or 2 will be available Pearson Horvat Toffolli 25th OA - Pick BPA Rousell Gaudette Sutter 34th OA - Pick Best Dmsn available...…….Thompson/Krezar Schaller Beagle Eriksson 40th OA - Pick BPA Granlund +Motte Hughes Myers Edler Stecher Hutton Schenn Juolevi Biega Markstrom Demko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal.view Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 pearson roussel leivo ------- baertschi i think that is a more reasonable list of the order of left wingers on the canucks that would interest nj for their second round pick and they'd be unlikely to do any deal one for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here was my thinking...….Lot of players have had multiple concussions, starting with Crosby, and ending with Willie Mitchell. In Mitchell's case, Vancouver was not willing to take the risk and he signed in Florida and went on to have multiple seasons with no symptoms. But, I do acknowledge there is risk, so I added the 3rd rounder. Baertschi, although not being a high end 2nd liner, is definitely a 2nd line player when healthy. We move him because IMO, we have a better 2nd line player in Pearson, and not for any other reason...…. I believe Baertschi gives value, and is worth the pick, the 3rd is insurance......Sven scores at over a .5 point per game average, with a Center that is not exactly known as a play maker. If Sven goes on to score 45+ points a game for the next 5 seasons, then NJ would have had great value for that 2nd, and gets a 3rd for free, there is risk on both ends, but NJ gets a guaranteed insurance. I am not flogging him because he is injured, I am flogging him because we have a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's take your argument and try to find common ground......let's find the answer other than it just won't happen..... Baertschi, if healthy, will help NJ, and would be a solid acquisition…….. So if Baertschi + 2020-3rd...……..for...……….New Jersey's 2019 2nd (34th OA) is not enough What is? Baertschi + a conditional 2021 2nd if Baertschi does not play 70 games his 1st or 2nd year? That is a low risk proposal for NJ and one that not many will be willing to beat...……...especially at his cap hit......all GM risk that every game If he goes on LTIR, it is only 2 years, and doesn't really impact their cap, as it is a young team ...….and they will be able to do the start of season shuffle to keep under the cap, if that ever becomes a issue in the 2 years IMO...Baertschi, healthy is worth that 2019 2nd, if he doesn't make it we cover the asset loose, that or we pay 50% of his cap hit But, the point is, there are ways...…….He has talent, and he has value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not flogging him because he is injured, I am flogging him because we have a better option. Mitchell was offered a 1 year deal by Vancouver after the 2010 season. He signed with LA because they offered a 2 year deal. First year he didn’t play a full season. Second year of deal he played most of the year, they won cup. Got another 2 year deal and missed the whole first year and played most of the second year and won a cup. Went to Florida after that. If we had offered Willie a 2 year and he took it, we probably wouldn’t have gotten Hamius after making that trade for Ballard at the draft. Or we could have gotten all 3 and not worry about having to use Rome in 2011 and maybe we win a cup. AV stopped trusting Ballard after he got hurt early in the season. He actually played well with Tanev after Tanev was called up later in the year. Tanev eventually passed Ballard on the depth chart during playoffs. Same with Rome before he got suspended.
