You need to get it out of your head that hes going to retire or that he will be in the AHL next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 @theo1984 I think that everyone else's definition of a prospect is someone like Jett Woo, Tyler Madden or Nils Hoglander. No one's looking to pickup our scraps like Palmu and Brisebois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Ghost Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 If something like Goldobin and a 2nd can get Gusev - and a reasonable contract can be agreed to as a condition before the trade - Gusev could be a good guy to take a flier on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard Gallant would lose the remaining amount of hair left on his head if he had to deal with Goldobins defensive game. I think it would take more than a Goldobin to acquire Gusev. More like a Gaudette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleShield Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hell, Gusev would be a great sweetener for the Eriksson contact if nothing else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very very good at getting the most from players and hiding their deficiencies. As for what it would take, it really depends on Vegas' ability to sign him and their cap situation. Goldobin would be a cheaper, younger option. Gusev is still kind of sn unknown in many ways so i dont think they will get a big haul for him at this point.

canucklehead44 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I wish we could get him but neither team has any cap space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we trade for Gusev, and then trade him away with Eriksson? I'd rather just keep them both and dump cap else where. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s either scraps or B level prospects. Or a mix of the two. Not much teams want either way. Well as per reports that's all Vegas is going to get for him. Certainly not any prime prospects or 1st round pick, more like a 2nd and maybe a mid/lower prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a nice winger for Bo's line To me it would then be clearly a win an gamble well worth the shot ,especially if he turns out be Panerin 2.0 Edited July 9, 2019 by bobbyg43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a 2021 2nd and a guy like Goldobin. He is not proven at the NHL level so his contraxt demands would have to be reasonable. Plus Benning needs to move some forwards/salary out anyway.

Aqualini is not in the business to lose money. he already paid 3mil to play in the AHL last year.. he ain't gonna pay 6mil for eriksson to play in the AHL. yes it's only 3mil but he already paid the bonus so technically that's still 6mil he paying/paid. plus the spooner buy out etc etc. Benning is cutting into Aqualini's profit and there's no way in hell i can see him ok with paying eriksson salary to play in the AHL.

Yeah. I can't understand some of Benning's contract signings that's caused the Canucks to be in a cap crunch. Not as bad as Vegas for sure, but still, we're not a playoff contending team, and for us to be having cap issues already, that's a little crazy. I can't see anyone taking on Sutter before the season begins. I can't see anyone taking on Eriksson without the Canucks having to sweeten the deal. But with what? We already gave away our 1st round pick for JT Miller in either next year or the year after. We don't have a lot of draft capital as an organization, even though I have to admit that Benning has drafted relatively well for the Canucks over the years. If Benning can get Gusev from Vegas without giving them much, that'd be crazy. But he hasn't proven he could swing a deal like that in his entire tenure as GM here. So I'm not getting my hopes high that Gusev becomes a Canuck. If anything, he remains within the Golden Knights organization, and remains in the KHL. Until either Vegas can get a good deal, or they themselves move out some salary and sign Gusev and he remains a Knight. But he ain't coming in Blue and Green colours unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the LE signing was pushed by the Aquilini’s because they were still trying to chase playoff revenue despite everyone screaming for a rebuild.

Podzilla Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Would be nice to get another Russia to try and bring Podz and Try over quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryamkin could be returning as soon as the end of this season as his contract would be up. No need to rush Podkolzin and his two year contract goes well in line with Pearson's contract expiring (as well as Baertschi) to open up cap room and a top 6 spot for him to slide into should he come as advertised. The cap room saved goes to EP and Hughes' extension while we have a potential top 6 guy on an ELC for 3 seasons while these guys are in their primes. With the Ferland signing, I can't imagine us adding Gusev unless we unload some cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
