Maybe signed the NMC not wanting to be away from them. yeah bit its for a few months and potentially career saving, he will have to move again anyway this off season lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we include Ferland in a pkg, so they can play these LTIR-w*nker games with cap hit?! It's morning here in Asia, & this is the first thing I clicked on to..why this guy? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially 3 different homes in 1/4 of a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoosh Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) We can fill a roster spot left by Motte, Garland or Schenn in the summer, but with the chemistry and our success of late, I don’t see this trade helping us into the playoffs this year. And I really think we can pull it off and make a good effort with these guys that we have here. Long term I’d do it but as we are in the race and quite frankly have a legitimate shot at being 3rd in the Pacific, I’d hold on to our current group. Chiasson, Dickinson, Poolman, Dipietro, Halak if he agrees to move, are guys I’d part ways with. Knowing the return won’t add up to that much - that is who I’d be willing to let go right now. Go Canucks Go & Bruce there it is Edited March 16, 2022 by Spoosh Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the promises were made to them when they signed? That they would get a decent amount of starts beside a really young unproven starter in Demko? Maybe they didn’t realize that they had to be superhuman to make up for a below average defence and didn’t realize how many warts Demko has been hiding. The life of a backup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of shows just how difficult it is to aquire stellar goaltending when acquiring a backup proves difficult. How blessed we've been for so long to have top end goaltending. At the moment we have Demko, quite possibly the best Canucks goaltender ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timråfan Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 2 hours ago, DeNiro said: Nope but I’d do Halak for Liljegren. No way we should be trading Schenn. He’s the only really physical player we have and has been great for us. With our cap situation we need his cheap contract for the top 4. Why do we wanna make the team softer too? Well, a 22 year against a 32 year oldie. Very easy decision for me. Pointwise he’s already heads above Schenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I've always liked him, a young right Swedish sound defenceman who can move the puck. Future Myers replacement. He's only really played bottom pairing minutes though but looked good so far. Would probably cost us a lot though, like Garland straight up. If we could do Motte + Poolman/2nd for him I'd consider it though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halak can be the towel boy If we found a team that was willing to trade for him at minimal cost to us and he said no, I would tell him he'll be in the press box watching the rest of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pull $&!# like that, players aren't going to be in a hurry to sign here. Holding up your end of a contract is pretty important, and that would be a terrible optic. Moving forward, the value of giving a NMC/NTC would be null. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Taj isn’t source. He is a retweeter for non insiders. Also, Liljegrin kinda sucks. I was kinda keen on drafting him, but the leafs have left a skid mark on him and I’m not interested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
