Why isn't Hoglander on the list? I'd happily include Rathbone and/or Hoglander to move Myers.

It might be too early to give up on him.   He shows promise and is very young.   They should hang onto him for a bit longer unless they get a good "Haul" for him.    We've made some mistakes in the past giving up on young promising players too soon like Grabner and McCann to name just a couple in recent years.

I picked Myers , but give Boeser serious consideration. I have to ask though, after 10 bad seasons what’s or who’s the common denominator?

Teach me your ways. I picked 3/4 of the roster

Trading a player doesn't automatically equate to "giving up" on them. You have to move something to get something. I don't see him as a key player to the future and believe we have better forward prospects in the system. Hoglander is on the verge of being waiver elligible. If he can't make the team it's better to move him than lose him to waivers.

 

Btw, Grabner wasn't "given up" on "too soon". He was waiver elligible, meaning time had run out, and he had a history of showing up to camp and failing fitness tests. Which he did yet again at camp in Florida leading to the same result he would have had here - lost to waivers after failing to make the team. And Florida wasn't a contender as we were and had a forward spot up for grabs. He squandered two golden opportunities to make the team here before Raymond had a 40+ point season securing his roster spot an yet another golden opportunity in Florida. I don't care what he became afterwards as it wasn't happening here. The team was a contender with our entire top six coming off a career year when Grabner was moved. Better to trade Grabner than lose him for nothing to waivers. He ran out of time.

Just for ease I selected “all”.

 

Can we negotiate a clause in the next CBA that a team who has spent to the cap and still sucks for years can just vacate all their contracts and start from scratch under expansion rules?

Hmm Expansion got me thinking (the only thing the Canucks expand is the payroll)

 

Last year in its 1st year Seattle was a horrible team like us

In It's 2nd year it is already a better team than us with us having established "stars"

 

When people got excited about how the Canucks responded with BB

JR stated this team was not very good or built right and would take time to untangle the mess

 

We have good players, we just have a poor make up of a team

If Seattle can turn around in a year, without the star players we had and with us having quality players, we should be able to trade for players who may not be stars ,but make up for it as strong team players (perhaps those kind of players or picks just haven't been provided to us yet)

Reasonable to think anyone is tradeable for the right returns and they don't believe this is a team to go forward with (as JR stated after the Bruce there it is  season end run from last year)
