But we can sign Ferland in F/A (and I think it would make sense), and I think in adding Barrie and Hughes (plus not really losing anything significant from our team last year), we are a playoff team in this division/conference so that pick would be a mid/late first.

No need for Chara. And they should also move out McAvoy and Carlo while they are at it. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope so, RNT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be a naysayer, but the only star we have is EP40. He is projected to that, but so was Radek Bonk and Alex Daigle. We know what Barrie is and that is a bonafide 1-2 dman. No I can’t say he will but I do know it will be 10x harder for him to achieve that when another player in in-front of him taking the prime offensive starts.

If Ottawa hands Colorado Byram and we hand them lafreniere......we should just all go line up at the firing range it would be so bad. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he will kill somebody and is under contract. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah it’s definitely debatable and the fact that Barrie plays the right side as opposed to Gardiner is definitely another factor. Might be worried about the price tag on Ferland but every team would like a guy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year's draft is ass, Byram doesn't even go 8-15 last year nevermind next year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 11 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: And if the Canucks get into the playoffs, how will the defense hold up if the only off season acquisition was Barrie? Anyone remember the last time the Canucks were in the playoffs and how they fared? Even getting into the playoffs we are going 2nd round max. And that seems like a stretch. There's a chance for 2020 to have depth like 2015 did. Trading that pick away to save Benning's job is worst case scenario. (outside of the core 4) 3 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: While I don't think it'll take fiver years before the Canucks get back into the playoffs, I agree that acquiring Barrie isn't ideal because of the age gap. I'm not sure we'll even be a top contender with this core TBH. Hopefully, but man we have a really long way to go. STL drafted Edmunson/Binnington in 2011, Schwartz/Taranseko in 2010, Pietro in 2008, Parayko in 2012. Exc. Trading top draft picks right now doesn't make sense, its never made sense under Benning, but they still do it anyways so. Just now, Pears said: How many people thought Colorado would make the playoffs and dominate Calgary? If you want to win, you gotta give up something to be able to do so. Raptors are a prime example this year. Gave up a star fan favourite for someone even better and look what happened. NBA is such a star driven league, its totally different in how teams are built. GS & Cleveland got there top 5 player in free agency. That doesn't happen in the NHL. If you want to win, you have to build through the draft. Trading away picks for quick fixes will never get you anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play different sides. I can almost guarantee there will be games (if we acquire Barrie) that we will have Petey, Brock, Quinn, and Barrie on the ice together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KariyaSakicAnderson Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I just mentioned this in the other thread, the tweet says " a 2020 1st" not Canucks 2020 1st. JB could have another deal for another 2020 1st from a cap strapped team. Then the lower of the 2 goes to Col, also JB may be able to get Burakovsky from Washington for hopefully cheap. Who would essentially be Jake's replacement but a bit ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
