Sedinery33 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Marky and Goldy for Nylander or Kapanen, Hutchison and a late round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDangles Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Also, wtf is up with Nylanders head? He always looks like he's smuggling the team playbook under there. Or is it just me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weew, imagine loosing a top end player because we had no cap in 2 years, because we signed that top line player! Yes, it would be nice to dream, but in actual fact, there is a huge reason why we should stay the course and develop from within It is called, too many expensive players, and not enough cap space We need ELC's that are good and in our lineup...……...think Podkolzin, Hoglander and Madden and pray!

Phil_314 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) We really need to see what we have in each of our players and hopefully find some chemistry in the group before adding more. For simplicity sake let's presume the team wants to keep the Lotto Line together. From Sven, Pearson, Jake, Roussel, Leivo, Ferland and even Gaudette on some nights when we need scoring, I don't believe we wouldn't at least be able to find two sets of wingers that could work with Sutter and Bo. Horvat has had chemistry with the following wingers: Jake, Roussel, Pearson, Sven. Before the injury, Ferland and Sutter had some good shifts together, and Leivo's a glue guy who's worked well with them too if memory serves correctly. Lotto Sven/ Roussel - Bo - Jake/ Pearson (interesting mix of straight-line guys and a more skilled play-maker in Sven to complement Bo) Ferland - Sutter - Leivo (versatile grinding line that can chip in some offensively) Then whoever's having an off night can bump down to form a depth scoring line with Gaudette, or if we need a heavy shutdown line we can insert Beagle Sven - Gaudette - Jake (Hockey Gaud and Shotgun had chemistry in preseason, and Sven and Gaud have it now) Roussel - Beagle - Motte (hard-nosed grind line for playoffs? Yes please) TL;DR I'd be an advocate for cohesive waves of scoring over splurging for yet another pricey winger. We might already have that fit in-house.

Hindustan Smyl Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Honestly, I’d just take a flier on Puljiujarvi. It wouldn’t cost much to acquire him (relatively speaking), and if he ever lived up to his enormous potential........boom goes the dynamite and this Canucks team takes off. Trading for other good and young PROVEN top 6 forwards would cost an arm and a leg. JP is a PPG player in Finland and has more assists than goals. I think JP’s game would mesh well with Horvat’s.

IBatch Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 The OP is right - in that we do need another top six winger. However easier said then done. Our best chance at this is rinse and repeat what we did with Miller on a cash strapped team. We can’t trade Tanev without another D coming back - at least unless Tree is back and signed. Our right side is too weak. OR we wait it out with JV - he’s had a good season so far and hope Podz is ready in after next season or Hogs can come into camp and earn a spot OR AG moves up once Sutter is back etc. We have plenty of existing options as placeholders at this point, in a year or two at most it’s going to happen organically.

WCE Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I know most will not like it but To Leafs Tanev To Van Kerfoot To Det Eriksson To Van Green Would also consider moving Markstrom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odjick the Warrior Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Benning should call up the Rangers and make a run for Kreider and use some of his prospects in Utica to package with Sutter which I think there is only a 500k difference between Kreider and Sutter in cap space. Kreider has playoff experience and has a history of scoring and fits in with Vancouver’s team speed.
