Here is how I am seeing our club today..............simply just a couple of players away from being a really good team. I can also see it that way for 5 to 7 years, with the current personnel .  Seriously! 

 

But I agree with all of what you are saying.................here is a suggestion for debate

 

Move

 

Pettersson + Poolman + Highmore @ 50% = $10,212,500

for

Blueger + Marino + Rust =  $10,100,000

 

This trade makes us a very solid veteran laden team, yet provides Pittsburgh with young blood in Pettersson and Highmore, and given the fact that Rust was most likely finished in Pittsburgh due to UFA salary negotiations. (Keep in mind Rust is a good player, but not necessarily needed in Vancouver and "could be flipped".)

 

Now with Marino being 24 and on a great contract (5 more years at $4.4 Million per, it takes some pressure off of finding a solid defensive RHD immediately) However, further to the point of needing a big mean RHD. I would suggest moving our 2023 1st or 2024 1st for that much needed player. Yes, it is not perfect, and I cringe at the thought of moving such a valuable piece.

 

Something like..........

 

Mayfield and 2022-2nd (Col)

for 

Our 2024 -1st

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

This makes our 2021-2022 Roster as Follows:

 

Rust                 Miller            Boeser

Persson           Horvat          Hoglander

Garland           Blueger         Podkolzin

Dickenson       Lammikko     Motte

Chaisson

 

Hughes          Mayfield

OEL               Marino

Rathbone       Myers

Schenn          Burroughs

 

Demko

Halak

Now this against what JR has said he would do, but far closer inline with what most want, in terms of not moving certain players. keep in mind Rust can be moved, or you let him walk at the end of the year.

Is this the type of thing you are looking for?

 

 

man o man 

I don't like anything about these deals

Are either of Mayfield or Marino actually better defensemen than Tyler Myers?

is Rust actually a 1st line winger?

those trades look like the intent is to become more like Seattle

Move Miller to the Rangers for a package including Schneider.

 

Schneider, Chytil, and a first. Or if they balk at Chytil, maybe Reaves and another prospect or pick instead.

 

Sign Nic Paul this summer and we're laughing.

 

Maybe move Hamonic as well (I'm getting tired of his spotty availability and his vaccine heel dragging etc) and replace him, short term, with Lyubushkin this summer if they don't think Schneider will be ready. Sign McNabb or similar to play 3LD this summer.

 

Next year:

Hoglander, Horvat, Boeser

Podkolzin, Pettersson, Garland

Pearson, Paul, Chytil/Dickinson

Motte, Lammiko, Dickinson/Jasek/Focht/Lockwood etc

 

OEL, Myers

Hughes, Schneider (Lyubushkin/Hamonic if not ready)

McNabb, Poolman

 

Rathbone, Schenn, Juulsen, Woo etc as depth.

 

Hopefully draft Jiricek this summer too.
