King Heffy Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Barrie is so bad defensively he would be a healthy scratch on the Comets. There is a reason that Toronto, a team that only has 1 NHL quality defensemen, was desperate to get rid of Barrie. Tanev is a far better player and will likely be cheaper. I'll take a guy with some injury history over a guy who can stay healthy but is a complete liability in his own end. No more defensemen who can't play defense.

Need a solid veteran to play along side a Tryamkin. I am talking a Dillon or a Edmundson. this cheaper stronger plus Dillon is from Surrey, might want to sign close to home 3.5 M? 4 years 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Anton Rodin -- 2019 -2000 --- GP 46 - G 14 PTS 46 Sorry Hoglander will not be a impact player next season and he will be playing in Utica .. Demko will be a number #1 goalie before 2022 season...He has dominated at each level college breaking Cory Schneider's record, played at world JR U20 - AHL 3 years and now adjusting to NHL game at 24 years old.. Demko played 27 NHL games this season at age 24 maybe at 2 games that he wasn't happy with...He played very well .... So Demko is following same path as Cory Schneider.. Cory played 3 seasons in Utica and at age 26 he played 25 NHL games and had a excellent career.. Demko will be as good as Cory Schneider..

Hughes Myers Edler Benn Tryamkin Oj Rafferty I agree biggest thing this summer is to get a top #3 D man under 27 years old...If Taffoli is resigned 4 yrs x 5 million...

MacEwen I know Boeser would bring back the best trade out of the wingers and would be expandable if they resign Taffoli.. As for Schneider he had 20 wins in 30GP his last season sharing net with Luongo Traded to Devils he had 26 - 27 win season playing 54 games on average team...

Quality of team during those years, Luongo final 2 years and the 2 years before Schneider is alot different. Schneider benefited greatly by having Luongo be #1. His first year out east was ok, but in no way is Schneider comparable to Luongo. I may not be a fan of Luongo and his personality traits but he is a HOF goalie. Schneider may be lucky to make the AHL HOF That's like Hedberg vs Roy Leivo is UFA. rather have Boeser Toffoli Virtanen Macewan on RW. LW Miller Pearson Ferland Roussell... C Pettersson Horvat Gaudette Beagle..... Sutter, Baer, Eriksson can hopefully be moved. Leivo and Motte are going to want raises, bye! I'd also be ok with Sutter and Motte being 13/14 F if the Canucks carry 7 D again, prefer 8 D myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cory Schneider that played for Vancouver was a very good goalie until end of the 2018 season when he had serious Hip surgery.. Cory is 34 most goalies are on downward slope after age 32 in most cases...Every young goalie benefits from veteran goalie to show what it takes to be a NHL player? Sorry find your reply about Schneider confusing????? He was a #1 goalie for 6 years on his team?? Not making him out to be a Hall Of Fame goalie...lol..lol..lol..... Today Schneider is a AHL goal...

You can’t just extrapolate a conclusion on what kind of starter Demko will be based on what Schneider did. They are two different people, two different players. Playing on different teams. Demko MAY end up as a good starter. Or he may end up as a career back up. Too early to tell. He looked ok last season. Just ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some sort of back up to this? Even going so far as to declaring he is going to be a 1st line winger next year...? Or is it just some sort of pipedream where we will all forgot about these posts come October (hopefully no more COVID by then) Very bizarre the OP thinks that Hoglander will beat out JT Miller to play on the top line with Petey lol. JT Miller has played lights out and is the guy that retrieves the puck all the time on the top line. Zero chance Hoglander plays with Petey over JT Miller.

I feel Hoglander could be as good or slightly better then F. Fosberg. He has next level skill, as he sees the ice much like Petersson, and has a physical drive like Petey as well. They will make amazing line-mates, which frees up Miller to support Horvat and Boeser creating a extremely strong 1B option. Two scoring lines that will give opposing teams fits trying to defend. Ferland will be ready next season, as he will be 100% healthy and raring to go. Pearson becomes available, and he will be valued, and this leads to my first trade proposal. Edmonton would love Pearson, as he fits in as a top 6 forward with them, add Stecher, and Demko, and that should be enough to get Larsson who has never filled the value of the Hall trade in the eyes of Oilers fans. With Ethan Baer looking so darn good on the RD side, he should be the guy in that hole. E. Bouchard is a RD and will crack their lineup in October. The second and third trades are opportunities to clear cap for picks; Sutter + 3rd 2020 for a 2nd in 2020, and Roussel for a 3rd 2020. We let Tanev, Leivo, and Fantenberg walk. Really sad to see Tanev go, but who in their right mind signs a guy who has proven to be injured often to a deal like Tanev will be looking for. Plus Larsson will be an upgrade, and will mesh beautifully with Hughes for years to come, and is 3 years younger then Tanev. The 2 UFA's that I know would upgrade the Canucks are T. Barrie, at 28 years old, and probably could be had for around 6mil over 5 years. Imagine how dynamic he and Edler would be as a second pairing. The second UFA signing is Toffoli, and this is a must. He looked like a legit shooter option for Petey to pass to, which in turn makes Petey even more dangerous. The last piece to the puzzle in my mind is that OJ finally takes the leap to the NHL, and I predict he will help settle down Myers, as he is an exquisite passer, and will impress in training camp, as all of his physical gifts will shine and come through, and JB will be finally applauded for his guts in taking OJ. This team will be a top 10 team next year with Marky between the pipes, and a roster filled out like this. Proposed line up: Hoglander Petersson Toffoli Miller Horvat Boeser Ferland Gaudette Virtanen (this is a heavy line, and with three engines) Motte Beagle MacEwen Hughes Larsson Edler Barrie OJ Myers Markstrom Flame away... One must also remember Pods is going to be available for the 21-22 season. Could be a more pressing situation than Hogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver fans don't like to hear it but weakest position is defence..I like Tanev but he is 30 years old and his body has been beat up from his style of play and we know he is very injury prone...Edler is 34 years old logging big minutes against other teams top lines.. Move away from UFA Tanev 30, save 4.5 million -- Helps sign other free agents.. Trade from our strongest position wing .. Trade for top end D man under 27 years old that will log over 21 min per game playing with Hughes.. Edler can play less mins and try and keep him healthy...Edlers plays a big role and we have to look after the old boy.... If we sign Taffoli to 4 yr x 4.9 million. Benning could trade a guy like Boeser.. Only reason I say trade Boeser is he will bring back the biggest return out of the wingers... Miller will not be traded.. Remember you have to trade something good to get this top end D man.... Not enough UFA D men and we don't have extra money... Thats why we trade a big contract Boeser 5.9 mil for that top end # 2 D man that makes 5.5 - 6.0 mi Edited May 28, 2020 by wildcam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
