Kanukfanatic Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 As much as I hate the poisonous posters at hfcanucks....the one thing I like is the general off season summer thread where posters can chat about all things Canucks including ufa ideas, trades, the draft, etc. So I started this thread for that. MODS let me know if you don't feel that works here. I can start. JB needs top 6 forwards and top 4 D. We have chatted about trades for Zucker, Kapanen, Panarin, Lee, and others in numerous other threads. That doesn't include D ideas like trading for Trouba or Zaitsev. Drafting Broberg. Getting a UFA like Karlsson or Myers. Would be easy for us to discuss in one overall thread where you can talk about trades, UFAs, or draft picks. MODS: if you disagree this thread doesn't fit then do what you need to. Thanks!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) So a very successful summer for JB would be something like this: - sign Panarin UFA - trade for Kapanen / Zaitsev - Tanev at 50% and goldy (or some other minor asset) - trade for Zucker - Virtanen (although I like the kid) - trade for Trouba if he would sign long term with Vancouver - 10th overall + player + prospect (not sure what it would take) - sign Edler no NMC - clear out some of our bottom 6 players and d Panarin - Petey - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Kapanen Edler Trouba Hughes Zaitsev OJ Stecher (by mid season - trade Hutton) Schenn Marky Demko Easy peezy Oops: traded for Kapanen and Zucker lol.......would only need/want one of them.

IBatch Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 That pretty much covers everything in the CDC these days..drafting Broberg, Seider or Soderstrom has been discussed quite a bit in the draft thread..same with a top six forward like Boldy, Krebs, Zegras etc (the guys that could still be around). As for the EK threads there are several, same with potential UFAs such as Myers, and the impossibles - Panarin, Duchene, Skinner etc. Zaitsev has his own thread (proposals) and is a semi-hot topic given they’ve said they are potentially shopping him. Trouba and Dumba have been talked about on and off for most of the past year... Personally I find it easier to go to the proposal section and go through each idea individually even though a lot end up as duplicates (trade Tanev to TO for x player) and buried and forgotten for awhile. As far as the draft goes that’s well covered under a specific thread. I get that summer “catch all” might make things a little simpler, but I worry about the pages of material one thread would collect under such a broad spectrum of discussion points. The flip side is everything you’ve mentioned is already well under way and there’s a small novel worth of material already out there discussing “UFAs, trade ideas and the draft”. Welcome new ones for sure maybe a thread on a certain thing you had in mind? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Seems a reasonable notion, to centralize/organize ideas for the team's summer mos. The proposal pg is getting a heavy workout! In later May started a thread outlining 7 things I'd like the team/JB pulls off. To summarize, I hope they stay modest, & don't chase big names. Go into the yr with about 7-10 mill still on the books. Imho, it's a little early to chase the big fish. That said, with hosting the draft, hope there are a few bold moves to improve our roster-depth. Mostly enhanced by helping other GM's outa' their cap-conundrums. But that ALL comes down to how much ownership is willing to shell out(taking on mistakes, + add-ins). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am totally fine if everyone wants to stay as is. I like that also. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 If the Canucks take on long term cap dumps, high priced ufa's and trades for players without any regard to the salary cap or the ED, they will be doomed. Seems like some fans are becoming impatient with the rebuild and want to skip the growing pains of a young team. I don't believe that most of the star players (ufa) would want to come to Van, but if they did agree they would want ++++$++++term and NMC/NTC. With all the whining about Eriksson, would you really want to take on a cap dump from another team? The only ones that will get a decent return will have many years of term and the player will also block the prospects coming up. Trading for a good player from another team will require a good player from the Canucks; most likely a promising young guy already on the team. What happens to all the guys getting pushed out by these new guys? Let them walk? Send them to Utica? Trade for picks? My preference is to make gradual changes. Start with Bo's line; perhaps; Pearson Bo Kapanen -I don't think JB has to break the bank here or lose a terribly significant player. If they can't acquire Kaps, they see about Justin Williams or Vanek for a couple of years. Of course there's always the Loui experiment... I don't think Pete's line needs a change as Baer will come in healthy and we'll get a chance to see how well he fits on the 1st line. If they have to pickup some younger (27)ufas for longer term, have a look at Zuccerello, Connolly or Dzingal for longer term, but still no restrictive contracts. A similar approach for the D. Get a guy like Stralman short term to cover the RD for a couple of season (overpay him a bit for the short term). The time to acquire a really good RD is 2020 ufa. There will also be opportunities to improve as team' start getting ready for the ED. Again, there are more players than positions, so it will be a very interesting preseason. I would like to see a steady improvement by the team this year. They lost a lot of 1 goal games that they need to win. It would be great for them to gain some playoff experience; even if it's just the 1st round. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Zepp Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Trading Virtanen for anything other than a younger and more established player would make this anything but a successful summer for the Vancouver Canucks. When you have a player on a slower development curve but trending in the right direction and who is this young, with this skillset you are trading from a position of weakness and taking on extreme risk for really no real reason other than "we need to make a trade". Just go look at Tom Wilson's age/progression (or others as examples in the Virtanen thread) for cautionary tales. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastDave Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Free agency is a minefield because players heading into their free agent year will try to inflate their numbers. So instead, I look for buy low candidates which are a lot harder to find. Using the EvolvingWild contract projections for their top 100 with a history of positive underlying numbers, I only came up with 6 names: Jake Gardiner 28 yo 7 yr. 6.9 million Jordan Eberle 29 yo 7 yr. 6.0 million Marcus Johansson 28 yo 4 yr. 4.6 million Derick Brassard 31 yo 3 yr. 4.0 million Patrick Maroon 31 yo 3 yr. 3.6 million Carl Hagelin 30 yo 3 yr. 2.4 million What is interesting is that the Nucks is rumored before to be interested in two of them (Gardiner and Johansson). Also, there is only one D in the group so the picking aren't that great. It could be Gardiner and Eberle will be looking at too much term while Johansson looks like the most attractive option. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Most of us have been all over the kinds of guys we want to bring in, but not a lot has been said as to who leaves and how. We really do have a significant glut of forwards to address, and it will only get worse if we find Bo a good linemate and Petey a LW. Benning is going to have to be creative, and perhaps lose some bonifide bottom tier guys for middling to long shot prospects... along will letting some guys walk. Say we got 2 top 6 guys in the offseason as many are hoping. Heres what we have for the bottom 6... assuming qualifying our RFAs: Baer (would be pushed out of top 6) Motte Goldobin Leivo Roussel Granlund Virtanen Beagle Sutter Schaller Eriksson Even if we somehow manage to keep a couple of these guys as reserves, that still leaves maybe 3 guys who have to go in some manner and doesn't allow ANY room for young guys like MacEwen or Gaudette. I'd be fine with waiving Schaller and Spooner so that is a good start I guess. We still need to lose at least 1 more. Now that I've worked it all out it doesnt seem so bad. Somehow moving Eriksson completes the roster trimming if we could pull it off. Or maybe Sutter if we want to sell low. Perhaps a package of a couple. Either way, it isn't THAT dire. I just don't want to delete this post as I just spent 10 minutes working it all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItTakesAnArmy Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Trade Eriksson and Sutter and retain 1/2 salary for Lucic and Puljujarvi. Buy out Tryamkin KHL contract. Sign Meyers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Now that the Blues won the cup we should probably see about 8 trades between now and June 21st (draft day). That is about what happened last year I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but couldn’t we then include that buyout dollar in Tryamkin’s new contract with us? He buys out 1 million from his KHL team, and his new contract with us is 4 years at 3.25 per year, instead of 3 per year. He gets a signing bonus of 1 million, which is part if his first year’s salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also. consider Canadian taxes. To have $1m to buy out a contract they’d have to pay him closer to $1.5m. Edited June 14, 2019 by qwijibo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think we could help Nick pay the buyout, but not directly, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no agreement between the KHL and NHL is there? Even so a large signing bonus could take care of that. At least Benning is talking about needing to be much bigger but he still talks about 2 to 4 years for a draft pick to be ready for the NHL, which is really archaic thinking by the comments made by a lot of GM's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardiner appears to be heading for a big payday, Johansson and Maroon had good playoffs with the latter likely to resign with St. Louis. Looking at the next 100 or so players below the top 100, I came up with some more names (more likely depth signings): Tyler Ennis 29 yo 3 yr. 1,8 million Brad Hunt 30 yo 2 yr. 1.2 million (resigned 2 yr. 0.7 million) Brandon Pirri 28 yo 1 yr. 1.2 million Jason Pominville 36 yo 1 yr. 1.1 million Alex Petrovic 27 yo 1 yr. 0.9 million Bogdan Kiselevich 29 yo 1 yr. 0.9 million Chris Wideman 29 yo 1 yr. 0.9 million The most attractive one is probably Petrovic 6-4 216 lb. RD just what the Nucks need. On 6/7/2019 at 8:08 PM, WestCoastDave said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
