Lou's no dummy, he knew where to draw the line The pick is top 12 protected because even the 11th pick can still win the lottery. That's why they did it that way. Imagine trading the 11th pick in the draft for a rental and then the other team wins the lottery with that pick and drafts Bedard? Lou would need secret service protection if that happened. Any GM would have made the pick top 12 protected... 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people on here…..either they need to step away from here and go have a drink or they need to stop drinking! Not sure which, but my god this place is ridiculous!! Eh, it's one person in particular on here that has been speaking nonsense all day long. I would say who, but I think we all know lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was trying to point out is that Stawns keeps saying the 4.1 mil contract is an anchor, but it's only until the end of next season. And at least, let's give the guy a chance. Isn't the point to clear cap space? They could have used it at the tdl to take other teams garbage and stock up on picks or get another prospect. Now they can't and they won't be able to use it at the draft either, or UFA.......for a winger. If it were a dman, I'd be fine with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Just now, HKSR said: Exactly. We retain 50% on him, and he becomes a $2M middle 6 forward with speed and defensive awareness. You're right, it's probably a 2nd round pick at that point. This is worst case scenario. Best case scenario, he finds his scoring touch again and becomes a consistent 20 goal winger. Yup. That would be excellent. Having him in the deal is a win for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it is time to get something for Boeser. Absolutely And see if Myers can be traded. Garland too. Not a fan of trading a great example of a veteran like Schenn though. Dan Murphy? Traded. Tiny Drancer? Traded. Give Fin another chance to earn a spot going forward but remind him that the future remains unwritten and that Grizz is eyeing a comeback.

Miller might just be tradable. Schenn, Brock and Myers also. Teams will want players going into tdl and we have some. we need to hope Bo lights it up with the Isles if he tanks, he might take all of our other trades with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to take some cap back. It's only until the end of next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked around but nobody stood out. It would have to be a non playoff team similar to Montreal trading Romanov. Just not sure who that team would be and what player we would target...

This would be a neat one though lmao Sadly its quite a realistic possibility based on where the Isles sit and fewer games remaining plus some very tough games ahead they cannot afford to lose. They need to go on a heater to really have a good chance of making playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a playoff team with a young RHD waiting in the wings. It's a decent 1st rounder ... not like it's a late one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if possible, keep Schenn. People complain he's slow, and so on, but he's the type of leader presence any great team needs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of trading a great example of a veteran like Schenn though. Example vet on arguably the best contract based on performance this season in the league not on a rookie deal. This guy was waiver wire fodder not that long ago now there’s talk he could fetch a 2nd rounder if not more. Asset management is crucial for this team if they want to climb out of the league basement and guys like Schenn need to be dealt while their value is as high as his is. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) 12 minutes ago, EdgarM said: I find it amusing you think that a contact sport like Hockey has no aggression in it anymore, like it somehow magically disappeared. I have seen enough Canuck players alone, get roughed up, to know it still exists. I have also seen a Canuck be aggressive and not once do I remember seeing the opposition let it go, ever. We seem to be in the minority to think its OK just to skate away as our team mate is getting roughed up. Some how I don't think that helps out in the "team building" department what so ever, call me crazy. I didn't say it didn't have any aggression in it, I said the game has changed but go off I guess? Enforcers don't exist, players don't fight as much, hits that were once permitted officially aren't allowed anymore. The NHL is more likely to hand out suspensions even if what the disciplinary whatever is inconsistent regarding punishment. Players have to be able to do more than throw hands. As a whole the NHL game doesn't remotely resemble what it used to be as far as aggression and toughness go. Pushback looks different, you see more scrums and sometimes guys will jump in. But jumping in doesn't always look like a fight though, oftentimes it's just players beaking off. Edited January 31, 2023 by Coconuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think schenn is a prime candidate to trade and then resign in the summer. Give him a chance at a cup with the understanding there's a contract waiting for him if he wants it 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartancanuck Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 What a joke. This organization has no idea. Unfortunately they can't rely on tanking for Sid and Malkin. Signed Miller and traded Horvat. Fires Boudreau. Makes a soft team softer. I'm done with this version of the Canucks. Hope Horvat lights them up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
