Alflives Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Just now, NeilColville said: So just create a losing culture the way Edmonton has the last 15 years... seems legit. We still haven’t made the playoffs yet. If we continue to slide, and Miss the playoffs, is this trade still worth it? The trade, like the Miller deal, is very fair value, but it’s too soon to make such trades. We need one (better two) more young core guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We literally just resigned him and we have been a legit competitive team this year! Our prospect pool is getting filled and Madden was likely behind both Podkolzin and Hoglander in terms of making the team, and you can probably count some players in Utica above him too. Yes Madden was a good prospect but he probably wasn’t going to crack the roster anytime soon. And we had to give up something to get Toffolli. We have a competitive team when our goalie plays like prime Hasek. Our prospect pool is nothing special relatively speaking as all the other teams have similar prospects. Madden could have been a cost-controlled 2-year ELC which would have been nice because idk if you've seen our cap situation but it isn't looking good. He could have slotted anywhere in the lineup, because, let's face it, we have garbage, overpriced wingers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks there's a better situation for him elsewhere, he can ditch the team that holds the rights and go there, so it's not as steep a price as it may seem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody wants him to come in an be that top 6 player he once was, want him because of his toughness. Ferland is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Cathode Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Two ways (of many) to look at this: The dark side - JB is desperate to save his job. Toffoli is 27, he probably has three years left in what might very well be the waning years of his career. Adding a forward to a team with this defence (other than Hughes) is like lip-sticking a pig. We are giving up Madden who will absolutely lead the Kings to another Stanley Cup three years from now. The extra cap pressure of this contract will keep us from re-signing Pettersson? Hughes? Markstrom? Fill in one of the above. Blah, blah, blah....... The bright side - I am desperate to see the Canucks win a Stanley before I surrender this mortal coil and I have only a few seasons left. The Leipsic on our defence will make opposing forwards reluctant to get close to them. Toffoli is the second coming of Miller. There are no more key injuries in the offing. We actually have a plan to survive the coming cap tsunami. I think I feel incipient schizophrenia - my only possibility of escape is to not be invested in this team in any way. I feel a rush of pity for anyone who is an owner of a hockey team as an act of love - it must be awful to be jilted so harshly and so often.

Pearson is an elite 3rd liner or average second liner in the NHL. Even among good teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
