Hindustan Smyl Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Is Josh Leivo a tradeable asset? Don’t get me wrong - I do like Josh Leivo, but his role does seem to be a little undefined on the team. 1) Does he have trade value? 2) Would it really make a big difference to the Canucks’ line-up If Leivo wasn’t here? My answers are “yes,” and “no,” to questions one and two. Guys like Motte, Goldobin, Schaller, Baertschi (contract + health concerns), Sutter (contract), Eriksson (contract) have little to no trade value, but Leivo could probably fetch us something......right? Ferland-Pettersson-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Miller Baertschi-Gaudette-Sutter Schaller-Beagle-Motte Virtanen Edler-Myers Hughes-Tanev Benn-Stecher Fantenberg. Looking at the above, the obvious choice would be to move Sutter, but I think the Canucks will need Sutter even if they plan to have Gaudette on the big club. You need Sutter to mentor Gaudette, and to also step into the C role just Incase the growing pains are a bit much for Gaudette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) A third/fourth rounder at worst, I like Josh ( Pearson does all of that much better ) but Josh has as much value as Goldobin on the NHL map is my guess. Heck I have no idea if they would clear waivers, the longer it takes to be put on waivers works in their favour to be taken?

Popular Post Winter Soldier Posted September 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2019 I don't imagine why you would trade a good depth player when you're free to dump Goldy and Schaller in Utica. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Canucks have Josh Leivo on PP1 - Newell Brown was just telling Drance how he plays that bumper spot so well. It's highly unlikely that they are looking to trade him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunjabiCanucks Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 TBH Leivo was a great pickup for us. He wants to play and can play on the 2nd line if need be due to injuries. He plays consistently On the starting line up I'd rather him over Ericksson and Schaller and Goldy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
131313 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I expect you could get a pick for him, but he is worth more to the Canucks. Now if you can get a 4th for Goldobin, take it and run before the other team realizes what they have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 He's probably worth about a 5th or 6th rounder at best right now and tbh, probably has almost 0 value at this point in the year, especially because keen GMs will know he might be available for free on waivers. Maybe 10 games into the season and he'll have actual value due to the waivers rush being over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that kind that makes undermining your team's depth worthwhile when you're starting to gear up to push for the playoffs. Is a third round pick gonna be useful when injuries set in? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 We aren’t trading Leivo. He reminds me of Janik Hansen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Considering we traded a career AHLer for him, sure tradeable, but valuable? Not really. Maybe a 6th/7th rounder to the right team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Yes, but I can't see them trading him with Baertschi and Goldobin no longer on the team. They'll need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more valuable to Vancouver than what we would get in a trade (for the near future at least, as a 6th or 7th could turn out to be a diamond if we're lucky).

GhostsOf1994 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Leivo in his prime cost a career AHLer.... not much value. Swap schaller with roussel when healthy. Swap Virtanen with Motte becoming 13th fwd. Schaller waived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samurai Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Leivo is big, has a very good shot, good enough speed and most importantly he is good down low, in front of the net and along the boards. On our team we do no have many guys who can do that kind of dirty work. Leivo is the type of player that doesn't stand out because he does the hard work. He is an important depth piece and is suited for playoff hockey where things tend to get a little old school at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Why? You just don't stop with your silly trades. Has anything even close to ANYTHING you have ever suggested happen? I am seriously curious. I get this is where proposals happen, but you post so many crazy ones that it becomes white noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyndall2 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The Canucks don't need Sutter to mentor anyone. A vet player motivates the younger guys on the team with their play and Sutter has been a no show for the last season and a half. If you can get a draft choice for him go for it.
