Shekky Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I was hoping Vancouver was going to move up in the draft to get him probably would have cost them a bit, Olli Joulevi was drafted 5th overall by the Canucks that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 They would need a top line center in return so a tough trade to make. But this could get interesting. PLD is a stud and Benning and company looked shocked when Columbus picked him. I think JB and company though he'd fall to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Torts disease. I think any team would be very happy to have this guy. I am sure the Canucks had him targeted to draft in 2016 but they missed by one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hopefully that's not the case. Columbus has already lost enough talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruilin96 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 He was who I wanted at 5th OA, when he was gone at 3 I was really disappointed. That being said, we are pretty much set on our centers and we don't really have room for him here. Plus even if we bring him here, there is no way we can afford him given our current future cap structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukini Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 No, Jake/Juolevi/Gaudette won’t get it done. Starts with Pod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPA Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 CBJ has about 9M cap space. So... LE + OJ + Gaudette + 2021 1st for PLD. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would likely have to be Boeser + going the other way (and one of the few players I'd actually consider trading Boeser for). And that doesn't solve their losing a C though. Imagine a first line of: Miller, Dubois, Pettersson though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Ward Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 He probably, if he had complete control, would want to play elsewhere. However, to trade a player like this, would devastate the franchise. He is a big, skilled, 1st line center. One of the rarest things in hockey. Very difficult to acquire. I think they would ask for Horvat and Boeser +. He is not going anywhere because nobody will pay what it takes and not many teams have the cap space to sign him.

JayDangles Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Wasn't there a rumour with strong substance that during the draft Montreal really wanted PLD, and if he fell to Vancouver we were going to trade the 5th to Montreal for PK Subban?

Provost Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I am sure other teams would outbid us... but yeesh that would be a good add. There aren't a lot of guys worth moving Petterson back to wing... but he would be one of them. It would likely take one of Podkolzin or Hoglander, plus a 1st, plus something else like a roster player. Do-able if they could take on some salary.

Imagine a first line of: Miller, Dubois, Pettersson though.. Boeser + makes sense. But that would push Bo down to 3rd line center position. We don't currently don't have much top 6 calibre natural wingers, so we would need to fill a hole on roster if we trade away Boeser. CBJ will likely rather Horvat+ as they are losing a center and they would want a center back. Either way, it's not a trade I would want to make.

Have PLD center Miller and Pettersson and Horvat stays as the 2C. Unlikely though as he would cost more than what we could afford to trade.
