You understand that not every trade is a blockbuster trade with star players or has to be a landslide win?! We have an immediate need and they are trying to address it. I guarantee they are still looking at a long term upgrade as well. Why is a part of this fan base so constantly / consistently toxic / negative about everything? These boards have been intolerable lately…not saying the team doesn’t deserve some criticism, but there’s a difference between that and what some do on here (not saying you are just to be clear). 3 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pederson is on a 1-way at 750K and was playing in the AHL - they are off-loading 750K to retain 400K on Baer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Provost Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 Meh… It does make the Strudnicka trade even weirder. We brought back another centre of the Strudnicka level in Pederson in this trade. I am not going to rake them over the coals for this move… there is at least some sense behind it. Whether it works or not who knows. Bear is outplayed by Chatfield but certainly has more upside and it could just be a situational issue on the Hurricanes. There is a reasonable chance he turns it around and is at least a reliable 3rd pairing D which turns it into a win. If we are still in a terrible spot come the trade deadline we could probably flip him for a 3rd or 4th round pick. If he is trash we can just no qualify him in the summer. The larger picture is that I just don’t believe there is any point in trying to salvage the season at this point . We have already modified our goals to hoping to get within spitting distance of the playoffs this season. My only goal is the team being a contending team and winning the Cup. This move doesn’t really make any difference one way or the other. I wish we had have signed Stecher still as a depth piece. Low salary, he is playing almost 20 minutes a night on a terrible Arizona team. He is good enough to fill in during injuries like we have and was super popular in the dressing room. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 2 minutes ago, Pears said: Ethan Bear is a young right shot D man who had his best year getting top 4 minutes in Edmonton. We also need players like this. That's a caveat in itself though, Edmonton hasn't had a very good defense in years. One can point out he had 21 points in 71 games that year, one could also point that any D that spends any amount of ice-time with McDavid and Draisaitl is going to pick up points.

Acquiring thru waivers would mean he stays on the roster. Reg Dmen coming back he has to clear waivers unless with this opportunity he proves otherwise. Needs are being filled even if it’s on an interim basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Just now, Coconuts said: I agree that's probably what they're thinking, but I've seen this song and dance with potential before. I just don't expect him to move the needle a whole lot, and I question whether he'll be worth qualifying at 2.2M. Guess we'll find out. I suspect the Canucks already know via Bear's agent that an extension under his QO is likely. Its not unusual around the league right now. Just now, Coconuts said: Giving out two picks within a month isn't an encouraging sign for those like myself who advocate for keeping our own picks and using them to draft and develop our own players though. This ain't Benning PTSD, this is a management group that came in saying they value picks and want to get younger who've now gone and traded two picks within a month. Bear will be 26 before next season begins, I'm of the opinion that he largely is what he is at this point. I know, I get the pick thing and there is a logic there. I don't care too much about 5th rounders, but that 2nd to move Dickie hurt. My glass 1/2 full tells me we might have a neat 3rd pair in the making - Rathbone and Baer might be a good fit, or maybe we get lucky and OEL-Bear works and we can move on from Myers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Don't mind this at all. Won't be long 'til Chaos Giraffe's exorbitant cap hit is saying adios. Schenn's getting older too. We'll need bodies for the Rhd, however you slice it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Don’t like the ongoing bleeding of pics. Feels like we are mortgaging the future to get the chance to pic 12th instead of top 5 in a great draft year. In isolation a decent trade. Desperate need position wise, retention and a fifth not terribly expensive. A depth C as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
