kenhodgejr Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Here is my crazy proposal of the day; Edmonton wants fix some holes on their team and compete while Mcdavid is in his prime. We need to add to our prospect depth and get more picks at this draft. We also don't want Seattle taking Demko from us. To Edmonton: Jacob Markstrom starting Goalie Brandon Sutter C (upgrade over Sam Gagner) Nikolay Goldobin LW/RW Tim Schaller LW To Vancouver: Jesse Puljujarvi RW Milan Lucic LW Ethan Bear RD 2019 2nd 38th overall Edmonton solves its goaltending issues by acquiring an elite number 1 starter in Jacob Markstrom, a solid bottom 6 C in Sutter who is an upgrade over Gagner, and a cheap potential top 6 winger in Goldobin who could use a change in scenery. Schaller who is basically an extra body to challenge for a spot or fill in for injuries. They also get more cap space by moving Lucic. Canucks add a potential top line winger with size in Puljujarvi who could use a change in scenery, a bottom 6 player who can win fights in Lucic and might even be able to fit on a line with Pettersson and Boeser, a decent looking right shot defence prospect, and the 38th pick at the 2019 draft which looks to be a really deep draft. Thats it.... go ahead and rip away CDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Markstrom wants to be here and has finally turned a corner and become a great goaltender. I prefer not to trade such a player to a division rival. Sutter, I'd be fine with trading away, and the same with Schaller. Goldobin may still have that other gear. Puljujarvi, while an enticing prospect, is hasn't proven anything at the NHL level, and may not. Lucic is too slow for the game now, and even though he's a pugilistic weapon, the cost is far too high. Ethan Bear is a middling defenseman who the Canucks don't need considering their growing depth in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Edmonton just extended Koskinen to be their no 1 goalie for the next 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 As @mll mentioned, Edmonton has a lot of money committed to their goaltending and won't be taking on another goalie. I actually believe that adding Sutter and Tanev would put them over the top though where they become a contender. Tanev on their 2nd pairing and Sutter on their shutdown line would probably allow them to play something closer to a full season and stay healthier. It would be a win-win except for the fact that we'd be aiding a future perennial contender right in our own backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Stay the course, build through the draft. As proven in the last round, we can work out ways to protect our assets in the ED if necessary. It's a long way away and much can happen in the meantime - patience people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 There’s no reason not to add a proposal thread, they are fun to read and think about. However anything but very minor trades are ever really traded to division rivals, Kesler was an outlier given he was running the bus as that was the best deal available. Markstrom could be traded, IF there is a return worth it, but not to any team in our division. Goldobin would be a possibility...maybe Sutter but doubtful anyone would want him with that cap hit and his injuries. Look for an Eastern team that needs help with goaltending or a Tanev like guy. TO is often mentioned for a Tanev as it just makes sense, it’s what they need help with (shot suppression). PHI for goaltending, but is Markstrom an upgrade on Talbot? Debatable. And Hart is their guy. Tactically Markstrom should be traded as we will lose him in the Vegas draft anyways (if he keeps playing this way) and protecting two goalies comes at too high of a cost. We’d lose a very good prospect or a JV type possibly. Thanks for posting though (OP). I wouldn’t do this trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with a 2.77 GAA and 0.912 Save percentage. Plus, he's essentially a rental as he is going into the final year of his contract, then he will be UFA.

JM_ Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 as the kids say, "wut?" I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here by giving away Marky for an unproven d prospect. If we wanted Lucic we could probably have him with Puljujarvi thrown in as the sweetener just for Sutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughMungus Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 No way we only trade old edmonton players back to edmonton Thats the last team we want getting better. Plus a Seattle. Lets make a deal with Arizona. They get the sweatheart cap deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckistani Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Lucic: 1. We do not need a 7 million dollar pugilist. Much better bang for buck exists in the league and we are better off finding a random MMA wannabe from Vancouver and teaching him how to skate over getting Lucic for the same role. 2. Lucic potentially blending with Petey and Brock ? Only way that happens is if we are playing mud hockey in a swamp inhabited by tentacle monsters. On ice, petey and Brock will have time to skate to the opposition blue-line, light a cigarette and smoke it half-way before Lucic catches up to them.

Jaku Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 No thanks. 100% against adding Lucic. He's a 7M dollar goon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 We finally have a good starting goalie. Let's trade him for Lucic! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Puj is rfa and is no longer waiver exempt his value is all time low since he can't even crack the oilers on the wing who desperately need wingers. If you took out Lucic and Sutter I think its closer to being fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly, from what I read......they think he is the problem.....again, I am not sure about that. Any which way you look at it though...…..for Edmonton to get rid of Lucic, it should have to hurt bad Which your proposal doesn't do, as a matter of fact, I would say you were trying to be nice Again....to get rid of Lucic it should have to hurt, which they are not prepared to do So, don't be doing them any favours...…...

Phil_314 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 We give up too many assets. They don't need Markstrom (we could use him still), and while we don't need Sutter with Gaudette and Beagle, we'd be helping them out if he ever managed to stay healthy. Goldobin could rebound if given the right opportunity and we'd lose pretty badly. Schaller could also help as a depth guy. Meanwhile Jesse's not a fit for them, Lucic is a dead weight, Bear is depth and a 2nd is a 2nd. If we keep Markie and flip him for an actual return I wouldn't mind Sutter and Goldie for Jesse, Bear and the 2nd. Would also be down to swap in Jim's nephew Matt in place of Bear but adding Looch just makes it a downright loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
