nameci Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 We have all been waiting (patiently) for an upgrade to our D corps during the offseason. Many names have been suggested and many trade proposals have been submitted to this point. I was curious to find out who the other members of this board feel are likely candidates to solve the Canucks’ issues on defense. To set some guidelines, I am assuming that two new defensemen will be joining the club. Your choices can range from Charlie McAvoy and Noah Dobson to Anton Stralman and Michael Stone. You don’t have to list any trade proposals, but the cap hits should be doable for the Canucks. These are the opinions of fellow Canuck fans, so please don’t be critical of their suggestions. My two choices are Damon Severson and Connor Murphy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Nobody. Management seems content to go into the season with the atrocious blueline we currently have, the excuse being that "It's going to take patience to get out of the mess Benning left, and we weren't going to win the cup this year anyways", which is apparently a perfectly good reason to sacrifice the season, including the final years of both Miller and Horvat's cheap contracts, Kuzmenko's one year contract, and a year of Podkolzin and Hoglander's entry level contracts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfor42 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I expect to add none this off season. Once we see what we have in Kuz, once we see how Hog comes back, once we see Lekk and possibly Aman or Karlsson or Klimo blossom plus our 2023 draft we will have more than enough forwards to start making trades without decimating our forwards to add D. I expect that is the plan from management and is consistent with their comments and tone. I also think they deserve more time before people Benning all over them.

flickyoursedin Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I would wager more than both those guys clearing cap space for Klingberg or a small 1 year deal on an available UFA like Subban before trading for both Severson or Murphy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Lolll Filip Johansson. Or if Rathbone doesn't make one of the top 3 LD spots, trade for signed Ethan Bear. Actual NHL caliber stalwarts like Severson, Murphy, etc. would be pipe dreams since we don't really have cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameci Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 We don’t have the cap space yet. I was thinking that both would be acquired via trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odjick the Warrior Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I think they are going sign Klingberg for a great cap hit if he lasts into August and then having to trade Garland to Jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
