It's the Canuck way. Scores five goals and wins someone less than what it'd cost to buy a nice house in Vancouver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave Miller Bo's money and I'll always think that was a mistake but they did what they needed to with this trade.

stawns Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 2 minutes ago, spook007 said: This..... 1st round picks this year could franchise changing even outside the magic top 3 or 5..... Imagine getting one of those with 12th pick. Benning drafted a few good players later in the first round.... Brock and McCann... but they are not quite at the level of the 6 you mentioned. Drafting 2 players at that level, would definitely change the future of this franchise. Again, it's the top 5 driving that narrative. After #5 it drops off significantly, but is still good. By #10-11 it drops off more and after that it's above average, but nothing spectacular. The buzz about the top 5 is creating the narrative. Lou didn't pick #12 out of a hat, he knows the draft comes back to earth after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he flips bo and at least gets back a similar package, it's a pretty shrewd move. It's pretty common knowledge they've been trying to dump AB and couldn't.

EdgarM Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 5 minutes ago, Coconuts said: Sure, it absolutely is. But it doesn't take a genius to recognize that the game today is a far cry from the 80's and 90's let alone the rough and tumble of the 2000's. That old school game had it's last gasp during the early 2010's on teams like Boston and LA. Game has changed. Although it probably has lessened it still exists, especially in the playoffs. We turned the other cheek , so to speak, in 2011 and what did it get us? Not a Cup!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 The NHL youtube posted a highlight reel of the players involved in the trade. Beauvillier has some wheels and is a really good passer. With Miller at center I could see him setting up Miller for some nice goals. Oddly enough, I really think Beauvillier and Horvat would have been a good combo. Lol. Playmaking winger with more of a scoring centerman. Raty has some really nice hands and a great shot. People were joking, but I actually do think a line of Hogs, Raty and Pod could be pretty fun to watch. Lol. I know people are mad at the trade. Raty at worst imo, is the two way 3rd line center we been wanting. At best he can be a good if not great 2nd line center. His toolbox is amazing, he has great size, and is a good skater. I think he just needs confidence. Lets not forget, the kid has only just turned 20 in November. Don't sleep on him. I just hope we trade Miller before Raty comes around. Miller doesn't seem like the good mentor type, I'll leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This trade is gonna be judged by the first that we pick or we trade knowing our dysfunctional franchise. I hope this signals a flurry of trades this season. Just filet the motherf**ker. And draft well. And no captain for the rest of the season. At least this feckless management group could show Bo some respect by leaving the C vacant until next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, even in the playoffs you don't see the fighting and whatnot a lot anymore You just see more scrums, but the stakes are higher and you're playing a seven game series Teams aren't "tough" in the way older fans want them to be "tough" I see it a lot on this forum, some folks really seem to yearn for a brand of hockey they'll likely never see again at the NHL level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
