stawns Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 17 hours ago, Devron44 said: Guess Colorado has got it wrong too then. This ain’t the 90s. Things have changed dramatically. Cant just be big. Intelligence, mobility, gaps and positioning make a good defencemen. A good team has a balance of size, mobility, intelligence throughout their top 6. Very few big defencemen in the league have all these traits. Finding a balance on you’re blue line is the key to success Absolutely agree, but Hughes is going to get superstar money because of his point production, which means compromising on other contracts. I do like your example of Colorado who traded their 3rd oa franchise player and made their team far better in the process 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Petersson will improve but Eichel is also a franchise player. The value is even given the potential. We would get the better forward now, and give up the better D. Regretfully, I think I would do this trade. Although Pete and Quinn are fantastic players and a lot of fun to watch, I believe Eichel and Dahlin are more complete players. Most fans will give the edge to Eichel, so that's a no-brainer. In my mind, Dahlin plays tough minutes; including the pp and the pk. He puts up a lot of points and plays a physical game. In the coming years, he will develop into a significant IMO, the Canucks win this trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laddie Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 The Athletic just released its Trade Deadline Big Board and there are a few interesting names like Clayton Keller. Unfortunately we don’t have the cap space or assets to trade for someone like that. https://theathletic.com/2414935/2021/03/01/nhl-trade-deadline-board-jack-eichel/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticsports. Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 1 hour ago, DefCon1 said: what is your point? are you saying we should trade Hughes? If it comes to that, we should also trade Petersson and Boeser too and rebuild again because that is what you are suggesting. Hughes drives our offense, you get rid of him then who will provide offense and be a PP QB for us? Myers? Benn? give me a break. This is as assinine as saying Boeser or Miller should be traded since they are a liability when it comes to defense. Canucks would have a worst record than Sens if Hughes was not here, trust me. We lack offense already, we dont need to reduce it even more. You were probably the guy that praised Hughes last year. Wow, suitable name Defcon Defense (Hughes) readiness condition (Good thing your finger isn't on the button in the real world in the USAF) What is wrong with you? Puberty or hormonal issues? Asking what my point is and then assuming and reacting to what you assumed, it was ? When you said, this is as "assinine" you must have meant this is as assasme? (surely not asinine) I never put down Hughes or said he should be traded, many are talking about his offense and his lack of defense (which is fair points) If he was excelling at defense as his offense he would be a superstar, for now he is a star I wasn't making a point, i was asking a question, that if we never had a offensive defenseman before Quinn why didn't we try putting Goldy or another playmaking forward we had on contract back on defense that we never had room up front for?

He's been approached before by Benning and refused, so I can't see what would change now. I wouldn't pay him $6M if he decides to re-sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 13 hours ago, N4ZZY said: Would be curious to know as well. Also, I wonder if some of our slumping players this season would do well under Gallant and his system? How is Green and Gallant different in their coaching and systems? Gallant is more demanding and he handles defense side of game.. Paul Coffey in Edmonton and Paul Coffey in Pittsburgh were too different players.. Bowman wasn't having none of that..

Dahlin is a year younger 6'3 and a complete Dman. In couple of yrs he will rule the NHL blue line. Love Hughes but he's a 1 dimensional offensive small short Dman..
