Elias Pettersson Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 So Ottawa takes on $9 million in dead salary and trades a top 6 forward and a 3C to move up ONE spot in the draft? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) That seems like an easy no for Ottawa. Melnyk was expecting them to make the playoffs this season. They are out of their rebuild and doubtful they would be looking to add dead weight contracts. Not the best deal for Vancouver either. Benning was apparently so relieved to not drop past 9 because he feels there's a drop off after that. Dadonov has an additional year to his contract and is not really in the age group to be part of the Canucks' contender window. It takes away a spot to bring in a player who could be. He is 32 and only had 20 points in 55 games. Edited June 22, 2021 by mll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 This IS an interesting idea, that prob needs twerkin' & tweakin'. Is OTT committed to Colin White? I think he's a slight AAV overpay, & when you factor in the amount of talented kids they'll have to sign soon, I think they might deem him expendable. Something like: Van: LouiE, Lind, 9th OA OTT: White, 10th OA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzipunch Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 Alright lemme switch it up just a little Would you be open to Vancouver receives: Chris Tierney 10OA Ottawa receives: Loui Erikkson 9OA why the canucks do it. We get a 3C on a 1 year deal at 3.5 mill. This is a player ottawa is trying to get away from but still can be serviceable for us and we can get away from him if he doesnt pan out after the season. Ottawa would have to pay loui only 3 mill while we pay just 500k more but at least hes actually playing for us and ottawa can take his 6 mill cap for one year but would open up 2.5 mill for us in cap space. Is it worth dropping from 9 to 10 get a 3C and adding 2.5 in cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning says their window will truly open in 2 years. He talks of a drop-off after pick 9. Tierney is 27 and a UFA in a year. Why risk losing a better player in the draft for someone who might not stick around and be part of the contending window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it depends, is it really that big of a risk? I mean jim could literally wait till his pick in the draft and if he likes 2 guys at that spot he could do the trade. Instead of getting absolutely nothing again outta lou because he cant why not have a guy that can just for a year? Opens up 3.5 mill if he stinks. Seems like win win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like win win Ottawa probably making the same calculation. If they know they can get the player they want at 10 no need to leapfrog Vancouver and be stuck with Eriksson.

Chickenspear Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 If we're doing a deal with Ottawa, I think I'd rather go after Artem Zub. 25, 6'2" 200lbs, good in his own zone, plays physical, can chip in a little offensively as well. 2 years @ $2.5m. Ottawa has next to nothing on the left side after Chabot, so maybe we move Schmidt for Zub+? Addresses our right side, gives us a bit of cap to upgrade 3C as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah zub and tiereny would be very good adds. Would like a package for both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they proved enough this season that they would be looking to add not subtract from their better players. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of a guy like McTavish, they might get a shot at Johnson? Would that make a difference for the Sens? They could probably just trade Tierney for something else and save cap and money altogether rather than take on LE and only move up one spot lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
