appleboy Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) If they decide to draft for position and focus on the defense. Edvinsson Clarke Ceulemans Lambos Chayka Schmidt These guys could all be with in their reach. They may even be able to trade down for one or two of them. I also like the thoughts of adding a player like Samuel Helenius. Edited June 24, 2021 by appleboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzipunch Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Personally i would give tony deangelo a 3 year 3 million dollar contract to be hughes d partner. Cheap, low risk and easy to get rid of if need be. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuckYa Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 2 minutes ago, DefCon1 said: We need a physical D man that can actually defend like Mayfield or Cernak. A dman like Gudbranson only has size, cant defend so how will that improve our D? We need reliable D to partner with Hughes not just size. If they only lool for size, then its really easy to find that although they would probably be ECHL level in defense. 1 minute ago, DefCon1 said: I rather Juolevi develop in AHL and Benning look for a top 4 or perhaps a top pairing D that can be physical. Is there anyway to take advantage of cap strapped teams like TB or NYI to get a Mayfield or a Cernak?? I think my point is quite clear. I believe we're both stating the same thing. Yes I strongly believe OJ needs a full pro season in Abby to reach his full potential. I'm saying he's not ready this season. Especially with the D roster we're trying to build.

His intent is to reach free agency, so trading for him, at least to me, is a bad idea. He's also pretty average from a defensive standpoint. Matthews for Jones. Fixes Toronto's cap, helps their terrible defense, and gets Columbus a top center with more term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones will help Toronto create more offense from the blue line, but the word on his is that he's not that great at preventing goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible person, and can't play a lick of defense. You're looking at a guy who's as bad as Pouliot in his own zone with the character issues of Messier.

Solid point totals. He can't be relied upon to anchor a pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the buyout for a million dollar contract? If he plays like he has and becomes a good teammate well we might have struck gold without giving up any assets edit: wouldnt he be the perfect person for the sedins to mentor? Isnt this one of the main reasons they were hired? Edited June 24, 2021 by Bertuzzipunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a team prefer to lose 2 players for only a 3rd round pick vs just losing 1 to Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the sedins can really help him. Would suck if someone gave him a chance and turned out to be a hell of a player. Why cant we be the ones that straighten him out?

Getting one of these guys who are likely going to Seattle, will require the return to be better than the player left on that team that is likely to go to Seattle. It will need to be a higher pick, like a second, and a prospect who (of course) doesn’t need ED protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because some teams have more than a couple decent players that need to be exposed. Might as well get a pick for a player they think will get chosen than none. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I think it’s NHL or he will be picked up by another team. I am certainly not an expert on NHL Defence, but I thought OJ was really solid last year. I thought he played well positionally and I don't think I saw him make a bad pass. I can't say the same for all the other Canucks d. I don't get why he played so little and why so many people are seemingly down on OJ. He is ready to go. He needs to be given more consistent responsibility to really flourish. 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were hired to learn hockey ops, not babysit locker room cancers who are defensive liabilities. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
