Edler is prob walk out. thought we were active on trade front???? Fixed it for you. Hutton and Stecher are 3rd pairing D. I would rather play Schenn with Hughes for a bit of protection and it worked in the short term at the end of last year. Sub in stecher if needed. so that means we need 4 top 4. JB - get movin lmao!! JB is probably hamstrung in that other teams don't want our plethora of spare parts as they are not worth crap. And he himself said he won't trade our good young players. So that only leaves him with picks to trade and he said he does not want to do that. Puts him in a tough spot to make a trade.

Jester13 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 One possible scenario is JB loses Eddie and misses out on signing a big D UFA. He will have to grossly overpay for Gardiner or someone or we may see a backend of rookies this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the Canucks really be confident that they won't win the lottery in 2021 when the 1st will no longer be lottery protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a chance we win the lottery but very remote. Two solid D and we are in playoff discussions IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt the real Sabres would though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s entirely possible....he put EP in a precarious situation last year maybe he does the same thing with Hughes his wonder kid (first pairing D), and OJ etc. Could get ugly very quickly. Stralman and a few others like him (old long in the tooth vets) might be around, his best play at this point might be to try and find two aging vets who won’t get big bucks and what Edler wants ... you can bet WNP will be talking a lot to Myers agent now that Trouba is gone, or using one of their several assets for a trade to fill the void...or both. Stralman and Myers maybe both will be in WNP. Gardiner is fine instead of Edler as long as it’s not too unreasonable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 i hate to say it but i think that the only way they improve this defense is by trading boeser. i could see minny giving us a defenseman and a forward to replace boeser. what else have we got to give? possible virtanen, demko or juolevi. our defense is; hughes...tanev; juolevi...stecher; brisebois...sautner. plus whoever they resign.

Minnesota has one of the best top-4 Ds when all healthy. Fenton wants to keep them together - they have no replacement in the near future. It's easier to find wingers.

Maybe Gaudette and Jake but really what would they garner and would we really want to risk their development potential. We have picks but we need those. JB is in a tough spot for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang Durst Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 instead of overpaying Gardiner I would prefer to take a look at T.J. Brodie. T.J. Brodie, Calgary Flames Assuming the salary cap reaches $83 million as projected, the Flames will have around $14.4 million in cap room. A new contract for restricted free agent power forward Matthew Tkachuk could eat up around $9 million, leaving little for RFA Sam Bennett and to sign two goaltenders. Brodie has frequently surfaced this spring as a possible trade candidate. He has a year left on his contract with a $4.625-million AAV. Clubs seeking skilled blueline depth could come calling.

BPA Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Tanev (50% retained) + Goldy for Zaitsev + Kapanen Would this work? Gives TO some cap space. VAN gets an overpaid RHD and a legit top 6 winger. Bonus Russian factor to lure Tryamkin back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After listening to Bob Mackenzie talk about the Leaf's cap troubles (the cap is not going up much at all) I think the Leafs will keep Kapenen, and want to dump Nylander's contract. I could see Tanev (50% retained) for Zaitsev, Marleau, and Nylander. Leafs dump lots of salary in that trade, and get a D man, who can actually play D. We might need to add winger, who doesn't get paid to much to balance out contract numbers. (Baer/Goldy/Schaller) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fly in the ointment for me is Carolina. That have a plethora of D and a need for a Nylander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
