Popular Post -AJ- Posted May 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2019 Bo is one of those players who's value isn't entirely seen in what he does on his own, but also in how he affects the team as a whole. He's worth a lot more than just 60 points and good defensive play. He is the glue for this team right now and it falls apart if he leaves (or is injured, as has been seen in the past). 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhuis Hip Check Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Trading him now would be like trading linden in 91, no way in hell would i do that 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type R Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I'm very impressed with Byram, but Bo is a pretty complete player whos just starting to come into his own. I suggested taking on seabrook to switch picks, but I wouldn't give up our future captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 No, I'm not interested in trading our future captain for #3. Bo's established, has improved every year and is in the same age group as Boeser and Petey. Moving him also means having to plug a big hole at C and that's a tall task. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Bo's best is yet to be seen: the playoffs! Watch for his game to rise in a seven game series! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch for his game to rise in a seven game series! Well that's not entirely true. He was THE ONLY CANUCK THAT SHOWED UP vs Calgary, playoffs in 2014 (or whenever it was.) Edit - so I voted no. A big no to trading Bo. Trading Bo would be akin to the ridiculous revolving door of needs in Coilerville. Trade away players of talent for less talented player who fill a different need. Rinse, repeat. Welcome to Coilerville Edited May 16, 2019 by luckylager 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fateless Posted May 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2019 If you had to pick between the following two options: 1) Guaranteed 60 point center who can lead the leagues in faceoffs, play in all situations, and is likely to become the captain of an NHL team. 2) Top defensive prospect with no guaranteed projection into the NHL who could pan out as a franchise D but could also pan out as a middling NHL defenseman. Who do you take? My money is on the guarantee every time. I love Byram and would LOVE to trade up for him for the right price, but Bo is not the right price. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) @janisahockeynut Well bub, yay or nay? You started the discussion so I think it's important you at least lay some groundwork or take a position in the matter.

Strome put up 51 points in 56 games in Chicago. I’m not saying he’s better than Horvat. Just that 2C isn’t a particular worry for them. They can address other issues with their lineup with that 3rd overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I understand your point and I believe you're right. I was trying to make an argument for why the Hawks do it. Both Bo and Strome are very valuable. Either one could be traded for a Dman that is young and has already proven his worth. We both know there are countless top picks that go on to do SFA. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I voted for the 3rd OA, because I am getting a feeling that Byram may just be the second best player in this draft when all is said and done...……….. Getting a #1 Dman is second only to a starting #1 center, and having 2 - #1 Dmen, is something not too many teams ever have the chance to get..... I believe Bo is an excellent Center-man and has his own right to be talked about in the way everyone is speaking, but #2 centermen can be found at the #10 spot or can be traded for. Number 1 Defensemen not so much. Trade value wise...……..a number 2 Center has less value than a number 1 Dman Could Byram at #3 and Krebs at #10, be better than Horvat and Soderstrom, I would think so...………………... But the operative word is "Could", so although I posted the question and voted for #3 OA, I don't think many GM's would have a strong enough heart to pull the trigger..... I was not trolling, but I was trying to start a debate...….I hope you don't mind PS...…….I do love Bo in a hockey player sense And a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush!

mll Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Chicago has Toews and Strome as C1/C2. Horvat would be a C3. They are hoping to never draft that high again so it's highly unlikely that they move that pick. Colorado has 4th overall and needs a C2 - that's would be a more realistic target if the Canucks want to take a step back and move Horvat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agoork Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Colorado at #4 would jump all over it, but NO, I wouldn't trade Bo for #4 (if Byram was there). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
