Feels like JB is getting  the heat from management to make the playoffs next year.  Probably why Canucks in so many rumours. 

Or just because the media knows Canucks fans are gluttons for punishment and mentioning them often will get them many clicks/added viewers, etc. especially with the draft being held in Van.

Heat is on its been known he's under pressure to make playoffs.

 

JB doesn't have a contract past next season. If he missed playoffs 5 yrs in a row he's not getting re signed

Yep, this is it.  Remember when it was rumoured that the Canucks were looking for a big scoring winger and the thread blew up.  Like really, who isn't looking for a big scoring winger.

Nope. Bad deal.

Barrie has to agree to extension. They might talk to his mgmt make sure they are willing and a ball park figure. 

 

If he goes UFA highest bidder he gets around 9mill. Maybe JB can extend him this summer for 8 mill.

Trading virtanen is bad idea. Extension or not.

I like Barrie, and I know he would be a huge boon to the blue line, buts he's 1 year away from ufa be isn't he? I. Don't understand these lofty proposals with key future pieces for him. The most id do is tanev and 2 draft picks, like a 2nd this year and next.  Even then....

A part of accumulating assets is to cash them in and turn them into a more tangible and guaranteed asset. Virtanen is still unproven, Stecher is alright, but Barrie is an established elite offensive dman, this trade would be a no brainer if Jake and Troy were the only two pieces they want, hell throw Tanev in there too, he's injury prone as heck.

 

If Virtanen was a second round pick, no one would be losing sleep over losing him

I felt same when first heard the rumour this morning but it's not easy to get a top pair RD who can walk the line and run a PP. 

 

Barrie type player is Canucks #1 need. They desperately need a player like him. 

 

Virtanen we love because it's an emotional attachment. He likely tops out as middle six winger. Barrie is top pair RHD
