Popular Post Doogie Posted July 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2022 They approached the first day of the draft how I was expecting them, unless a trade required the use of the 15th, stand pat and make the selection at 15th. I don't think they were expecting Lekkerimaki to fall to them but when he did they jumped on it and from a management perspective this could be seen as a home run. I think it was mentioned somewhere management thought it was best to observe the later round to see if they liked any players falling out of the first round and then make smart thought-out trades to add a second or two and maybe move out cap space. I think JR and Co. are playing it safe but smart and I commend them for that; too many times we saw Benning making moves for the sake of making moves. It seems to me JR and Co. have a plan and are going to see that plan through but at their own well thought out pace. As for the Miller trade, I think it's going to happen, but I believe the management group preferred 1st round picks in next years draft (seeing as how next year's draft is VERY deep), in any return for Miller. This is probably why they didn't pull the trigger today for any trade involving a 2022 1st. The team trading for him will now be inclined to include next years pick in any return. If we look at the free agent class this year there are some noticeable names out there, I think the management group sees this and wants to wait to see how the first few days of free agency play out and try to extract more when teams miss out on those big names. Also, Miller is able to sign an extension come July 13 and I believe negotiating an extension will play a key part in the value extracted for a Miller trade. 3 4 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 It's a likely pivotal move/succession of moves to come. As you've outlined, best be well thought-out, & not a reactionary result. Perhaps a B+ for day 1 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colt 45s Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Canucks fans are persistently anxious. Maybe as a collective we need better coping skills like shrimp tacos, some Do's Equis and Sabritos while we are in the Mayan Riviera. I am in. Maybe then we can relax.

iceman64 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Well on the positive side we now have 2 Alien's... That's going to be confusing as hell for those "listening" to a game.. Pettersson passes to Petterson, Petterson takes it behind the net, passes to Pettersson, for the one time from the circle and Pettersson scores!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but at least they didn't have the same first names but good point, we should have this. You know, I'm wondering if anything normal will ever happen for us... Doesn't seem like it! wtf?

However I could stand to be in the french Riviera, instead of the Mayan BUT either way I need a break from the watching and yes being anxious after 47 years of this circus!!!

TGT68 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The canucks want proven young players not raw draft prospects for Miller. That is why this was not an ideal draft day trade. It will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetterssonOrPeterson Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Honestly I would prefer us acquiring picks for next years draft. It's much deeper than this one. 2022's class just doesn't seem as exciting. Not saying a miller trade will get us bedard (who i believe is a generational talent) but if we have multiple 1st round picks, you never know what could happen.

Getting lots of picks, especially in the top 100, would need for us to move several important players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Looking back at what a tumultuous season last year was, I think this management will get the team on track. They are looking long term, not just next season. I don't expect them to do knee jerk moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSVII Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 So far: - Signed the top, most sought after European Free Agent on the Market - Kuzmenko - Extended Brock at a fair deal below his QO - Drafted a potential top 10 Talent in the 1st round Slow and steady wins the race. At least we didn't take on a cap dump like the Laffs, only to watch your trade partner acquire a more reliable goalie option for a cheaper rate :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awalk Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) IN Mikheyev Dermott Kuzmenko Lazar Joshua Lekkerimaki Bains Aman 3rd round pick 4th round pick OUT Motte Hamonic Bailey Highmore Lammikko 3rd round pick Pretty tidy work so far (may have missed some). Very curious to see what they do to make space, and more importantly fix the D, and more more importantly Miller sign or trade.
