Hate the buyout too, but it's OEL's fault for not preparing himself properly and being his best. Lazy. Scary thought trading away the #11, but I guess it could happen? If they feel they could get a youngish RD partner for Hughes they might feel that's more valuable that a prospect that may or may not make the NHL one day. I don't know if we're even in a position where we can trade draft picks. By the time the OEL recapture penalty goes up, we are going to need those ELC contracts more than anything in the world. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 The more I think about it, the more it wouldn't surprise me if the Canucks traded the #11 to fix the D. They're not going to get a top pairing RD by trading Boeser or Garland straight up. Maybe they trade down? This is currently the Canucks D, and there was even talk of trading Myers. Hughes - Hronek Brisebois - Myers Wolanin - Juulsen Hirose (LTIR - Bear, Poolman) Pretty terrible, and the goal is to make the playoffs. Not making it again under this management's regime would be a complete failure and heavily scrutinized. Playoffs is a must next season. But how do they get into the playoffs with that D core? They could re-sign Burroughs and even Schenn, but that's not good enough. Hypothetical: to NSH - Boeser and #11 to VAN - Fabbro and #15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have competent management again. They have a plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothetical: to NSH - Boeser and #11 to VAN - Fabbro and #15 I’m not sure Nashville would like this trade but it would be great for us. Fabbro could play on our second pairing and at 15 we will likely get one of Willander or Shimashev. I think Woo is on the big club right off the hop next season.

How does that even work unless you tell other teams don't draft me? Not sure why he would go to the habs unless there's some connection there. A team like caps would make more sense with Ovechkin.

Yeah, I'm not sure Fabbro is the right guy or if Nashville would go for it, but I thought there was talk before that Allvin was interested in getting Fabbro. Maybe it's another D, but I do wonder if they use the #11 pick to try and bring in a Top 4D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothetical: to NSH - Boeser and #11 to VAN - Fabbro and #15 I think this trade is possible but both teams have to see who's available at 11th. If we can still draft Willader at 15th then I'd be all over this, but it's too risk hoping the next 3 teams won't take him. I'm not going off by much but based on reports I'd be happy if we pick Willander who seems to have great potential. I don't care if we have to wait on him a couple of years.

We need two complementary guys for our top two D. Maybe Rathbone plays with Hronek? Then we need a guy for Hughes and maybe that’s Woo? At five on five Hughes Carrie’s his partner for 18 minutes. Hughes, Woo Bone, Hronek Hirose, Myers Wolanen And we will continue looking for guys, especially to play with Hughes and Hronek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With so many questions surrounding him you've gotta think he drops, perhaps even out of the top ten if the Caps don't snag him The talent is there, certainly, but I could see teams with top picks being cagey and going for a player they know will come over Someone in the first round will take him, gotta wonder where though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they almost certainly won't get into the top 3, you're getting a 1OA talent there this year Could see San Jose maybe moving down but it'd cost a lotttt as I figure Smith goes 4th If Montreal wants Michkov there's a strong chance he's available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, top four is almost certainly Bedard, Fantilli, Smith, and Carlsson though, I'm not sure Montreal would be willing to pay what it'd take to get one of them Smith or Carlsson could be San Jose's future 1C and I'd be surprised if either considered taking a wing over the opportunity to grab a potential 1C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely hype that the media in Montreal is stirring up with the draft approaching. Who knows though, he hasn't indicated a team (yet) that he's favouring towards so it's anyone's guess. I'm very worried with what the Canucks will do with their picks and cap space after the OEL buyout (argh), but at the same time i've never been so excited with a draft for as long as i can remember. The draft is deep, lots of players expected to get moved and a bit of drama here and there. I just pray for Canucks to be on the good end out of all of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
