qwijibo Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 34 minutes ago, EternalCanuckFan said: The only reason why I would not be in favor of a Bennett-Virtanen trade is that it's interdivisional not only for this season but next. It otherwise might not be a bad trade for either team. As annoying as Bennett's rookie playoffs were for a Canucks fan, he's been at least a decent role player in the league and is at this point a more reliable and versatile player than Virtanen (maybe only slightly though...). If Virtanen ever puts it all together, then he could be a superior player to Bennett unless Bennett also puts it altogether. If Bennett-Virtanen happens, then that would mean that 4/18 of Canucks skaters who started the 2019/2020 season (Domingue excluded) would be with the Flames in 2020/2021. Crazy. Source?

Sorry, my comment was based on the assumption that divisions would return to their pre-2020/2021 season alignments. I didn't consider that re-alignment may continue for awhile and we may not return to those divisions even after the pandemic has subsided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wording threw me off. It’s a divisional rival regardless of covid realignment of divisions or reverting back to normal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Interesting discussion with the value of Pool Party, Jake and Bennett. They are all around the same value in my mind. If they were traded for picks, I would imagine they would all be in the 2nd round pick territory returning, meaning that they hold similar value. Of that group of projects, my preference would be Pool Party due to offensive upside, but I think we are at the point where a swap of Jake for either of those guys make sense. Change of scenery deals are needed for them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change of scenery deals are needed for them all. Edmonton doesn’t sound to be looking to trade Puljujarvi. Himself sounds happy there now and talks of how he has matured. Holland just talked of how he’s making an impact by going to the net. He’s made his way to the McDavid line. Friedman on Sportsnet 650 says Calgary has been getting decent offers for Bennett. Teams like what he has shown in the playoffs. He says Virtanen’s trade value isn’t great. He hasn’t shown as much in the post- season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
