captaincowbasher Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I know this has been beaten to death; a call for a skilled winger for either Petersson, or Horvat to play with. This might be the time to strike with either TO or with Vegas, as both teams are underachieving, The other day Miller, Boeser, and Horvat played a couple of shifts together, and it looked very effective. So my thoughts are, either JB targets a winger like Nylander from Toronto to play with Petersson, or a winger like Smith from Vegas to play with Horvat. This would solidify our top two lines and strengthen our overall forward depth. The question is what would TO want for Nylander, or Vegas for Smith. I think Tanev, 1st rounder, and a middling prospect would get the Nylander deal done. Tanev and Virtanen would get us Smith. I know Tanev looks unreal with Hughes, but all the more reason to trade Tanev, as his worth is as high as it will ever be. Thoughts... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEGCanuck Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 If I am Jimbo any deal that includes a first rounder is a non-starter. Other than that I'm game for a trade. Just know half the teams in the league are also shopping for a top six winger. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post King Heffy Posted November 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Nylander's one of the biggest floaters in the NHL. Green would crucify him if he didn't start to put in an acceptable effort. His contract is so bad he has negative value at this point.

Noble 6 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 It would certainly help if we weren't already capped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP would spend way too much time in his own zone because Nylander refuses to backcheck. You don't win with gutless passengers like Nylander, especially in the playoffs. He wasn't just scared of the Bruins hitting him, he was scared of the puck. Hard no. Edited November 18, 2019 by King Heffy 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 They already did that. We got Miller. Despite the slump, it’s worked out well this far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take my chances with JB's drafting skills. We can get our top 6 forward by trading Stetcher + Goldy, Sven or maybe a 2nd and recover our 1st by trading Marky at the deadline. Other then that we need patience and let our players develope and gain experience. Maybe Tanev can be moved once OJ is ready but that won't be until at least Trade deadline.

Hindustan Smyl Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The problem with trading for a top 6 winger, is that...... 1) it would likely cost too much. 2) The Canucks have Podkolzin and Hoglander waiting in the wings. To me, it seems unlikely that our 2nd line support for Horvat will be an issue for the future. Keep in mind that the Canucks aren’t going to be winning the cup this year anyways. Stay the course, and push hard for the playoffs. A line of Miller-Horvat-Virtanen should be a good enough support system for Horvat. Put Pearson with Pettersson and Boeser.
