Since he said that, I’ve been thinking Demko is trades at the 2020 draft. What playoff team needs a top young goalie? The pick we give to TBay will be IMO this draft and 20-31. I think Demko gets us something in the same area. 20 to 40. I think you could be right. It may happen that way. And Stecher could be traded in a different deal for another pick. Next year’s draft is strong so it makes sense to try and load up on picks and let Benning do his magic. I don’t think we’d have the cap space to acquire another top 6 forward. Maybe Hoglander or Lind can take the next step next year. I’m thinking Hoglander has a good shot at making the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post coastal.view Posted January 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2020 ah yeah typical cdc approach we want something of value but are prepared to give up nothing of value good luck with that approach in the real world or even the nhl world we pay value for miller a really good hockey deal and half this board goes mad at first now we want something else but are prepared to offer up only crumbs and i wonder why i am so cynical about most trade proposals on this board crazy crazy crazy 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Stecher, because of his coming qualifying offer cap cost, has no trade value (unless it’s as a rental at the TDL, and I don’t think we’re doing that) He’s kind of where Hutton was last year.

Saw him lay someone out last game I was at. Never takes a shift off, EVER. Let me make it clear. I don’t want to move Stecher. I’m asking if he is the only movable piece we have. And we have some depth in that spot with prospects. I’m also bringing this up because Benning said he wants to add a winger this season. I’m asking how is he going to do it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, if we swap the recently injured Leivo in for Eriksson, every single player in our top 9 is operating at a .5 PPG average or better. With our cap situation looking the way it is for the next few years and our offensive depth looking the way it is, I see absolutely no reason why we should be chasing a top 6 forward right now. Agree with this ^^^. Sometimes less is more. That is, making fewer moves improves the team and look, improvement from within happens...... 37 minutes ago, BCNate said: We just got a new top 6 winger a few weeks ago: Besides, Schaller's $1.9 is expiring. Goldy's contract is expiring, Baer and his $3.3 will have 1 year left and maybe they can move him with salary retained if it's only for 1 year. That tidies up the forwards and leaves room for the likes of Hoglander (dare to dream.....realistically, needs a year in Utica) I think that D is where the action will be between now and July 1. Benn at 2.0 is definitely an extra body particularly if Fantenberg is playing for pocket change (850 + ?). And what of Juolevi? I'd really like to get a look at him with the big club for a few games. Then there's the expiring contracts on the right side.....Stech (2.3) is he really going to get that much more? I doubt it......and Tanev (4.4) could likely be gone but this will depend on the status of Tryamkin. Rafferty looks good but we've got to see what he's like in the NHL too. For me, Benn is trade bait but he is not a rental. Tanev and Stech are on expiring contracts with Tanev being a true rental. I don't see Benning moving Tanev without a sure thing replacement but he could move Stech easily and if he is sure about Tryamkin coming, they won't miss him for a second. In short, Schaller, Benn and Stecher could be gone by the deadline and back end depth looks like this: Edler Tanev Hughes Myers Fantenberg Tryamkin Juolevi Rafferty It's not worse and it's bigger and harder to play against and some difficult questions would have been answered. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help remembering we got Pearson for Gudbranson. Pearson is top 6 on our team and we're not doing bad. So if Tanev is still healthy at the trade deadline why is he looking more like a rental than Gudbranson was? Is Erik still playing for Pittsburgh? If you're a team in need of a top grade defensive defenceman why not take a chance on a healthy Chris Tanev playing at the level he has been playing at this year over say a Gudbranson. How sure are you, you couldn't get another good year or two out of him cheap? I wouldn't bet against somebody who thought we could get somebody even better than Pearson for Tanev., myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stecher has more value than Hutton. I think a team will pay him $3 million. It’s just with us we can’t fit that number under the cap and we have Rafferty who will play at 700k next year who can replace him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him on a line with Petey and Brock and he could hit 70 points. But I doubt Ottawa trades him. He’s one of their only bright spots along with Chabot.

J.I.A.H.N Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Ok, so not to be the bearer of bad new, and not that I don't like proposals, but We need to get Juolevi and Rafferty up here for some games, before we start moving guys out ...…….imagine if they did not turn out? Then what? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 You know it really depends what you want to get back. If we are looking for a top 6 forward, then the only teams that would sell one of those to use would be those teams looking to rebuild (Ottawa, Detroit, Kings, etc). Tyler Toffoli and Jean Gabriel Pageau are the only forwards that come to mind. Rebuilding teams would be intrigued by Stecher. We've seen time and time again that Motte cannot be replaced from within. They gave lots of chances to many guys and no one's been able to find the chemistry with Beagle and Schaller quite like Motte. It would be foolish to trade him as he's worth much more to us then he'd be worth on the open market. I would be extremely disappointed if Motte wasn't with this team for a long time to come. He's directly linked to this team enjoying success this year. He contributes on the PK and with him in the lineup we have a great 4th line that relieves pressure for us when the rest of our team isn't clicking.

I think Demko gets us something in the same area. 20 to 40. JB said that he felt that they got two 1st round picks from last year's draft because they were able to get Hoglander in the 2nd round, so he didn't feel as bad about giving up a future 1st round pick. I don't remember seeing anything where he said he had a plan to get a 1st round pick back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what? You're not really the bearer of bad news. We're probably gonna have to move some guys regardless because of cap issues. Need cap to sign Marky, Tanev, Gaud and Virtanen this off-season. Unless we manage to somehow ship out Eriksson or Baer we're gonna have to move someone out that's a roster player or let someone go to FA in Stech's regard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Tanev with a new deal signed to the Laffs for Kapanen. We bring over Tryamkin or give Rafferty a call up in the new year after this deal is made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead73 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Stetcher is over hyped in vancouver... Smallish defensman who doesn't translate his size into speed. Cannot shoot the puck. He has 7 points... Development is non existant (this is usually the stat that chases you out of town) How exactly is he even a trade chip? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbieCanuckFan Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I’m not sure how much value a playoff team would place on Benn. If he only had this season left, sure adding depth would be good but the extra year is likely an issue. 2 million cap hit isn’t cheap for a playoff team likely to be near the limit on a depth player.
