RU SERIOUS Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 23 minutes ago, Bobby James said: Not an amazing trade for Van and not terrible either. In the end I'm glad they made a decision and did it. Obviously the Isle get the best player in the trade and all the best to Bo. Will be hard to fully judge the trade though until some time passes. When Bo signs (wherever) if it is around 7.5 million or higher for 7 years then I think that'll be good for Van since that contract may not hold up (similar to Miller). Then of course Raty and the 1st is still awhile until we know if they'll pan out at all in the NHL. Beauvillier is so so to me. Maybe a new team helps him take a step. Mostly looks to be cap out. Saying Millers contract "May not hold up", is being awful polite. I predict it will become an "albatross" contract in the next 3-4 years. well before it expires - which is way out in the next decade of the 2030's when he's approaching 40 y.o. Millers contract will undoubtedly become one (if not "The") worst contract in Canucks history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnBurner Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 2 minutes ago, Sell.the.team said: I was expecting this: Report from Elliott Friedman. Bo Horvat is officially on the Market. Canucks will trade him to the highest bidder. They will take the best package available. They are willing to take back salary to facilitate the trade. Currently there are 12 teams interested in him and _____ are considered to be the front runners.... So Friedman knows all? Obviously there'd be more than the Islanders, but what's being offered is pure speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks could if held back 50 percent of salary which would of fit him in near everywhere. Again, any top team would be offering a late first. A mid first is way more than I imagined in a deep draft.

DeNiro Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Gotta wonder if they’re just planning on building a D core like they had in Pittsburgh. One high end guy in Letang, and then a bunch of decent but not great guys. Guys that don’t do any one thing really well but are just solid. I could see us going hard after NCAA D men, and then maybe trading for some undervalued type guys. Based on their moves to keep adding cap to the forwards I would say that’s the route they plan to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 5 minutes ago, Losing With Pride said: Now if only we would have kept our pick (Guenther) and not traded for OEL. Damn. If we did that, we would probably have Horvat still so no trade. Also, everyone assumes we would've picked Guenther but previous management probably would've picked some other player like Bolduc.

R3aL Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Im super curious what: Horvat-Barzal looks like. They could honestly be monsters at evens together and locked up long term together. On Paper it SOUNDS perfect. Playmaking RHC moved to Wing to play with a better LHC thats better on draws that happens to be shoot first and they both are fast skaters. We will see, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millers contract will undoubtedly become one (if not "The") worst contract in Canucks history. His being here is not just about points. Its about having someone passionate, willing to install a combative , emotional energy in his game for others younger than him to play as hard as they can in their own style. How do you follow quiet leadership ? .. with apprehensions. How do you follow a fiery leadership? .. all guns blazing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Lasso Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Not sure who’s traded next, but this should be an interesting deadline. Guessing some moves will happen in the off-season. hope the media keeps asking JRPA about their vision / identity they want to build We’re definitely getting younger, and I’ve heard them say we want to be “a tough team to play against.” Figure that’s why Myers dummied Beniers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chon derry Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 9 minutes ago, rekker said: The fact that Bo wasn't allowed to talk extension may have boosted his value. If he wants too much, he prices himself out of the market for some teams. That's why JR didn't allow it. Wasn’t there a short period that he was allowed and then Canucks mngmt changed their minds ?

Maybe 1 UFA signing and/or a value trade find along the way. But we will see. Id really like to acquire Corson Ceulemans from CLB I really like him.

Highstickin Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 13 minutes ago, Sell.the.team said: I do and we will see if other comparable players get considerably more return. I've seen some pretty big deadline packages. The fact that Bo wasn't permitted to talk extensions with other teams also likely limited his market. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the Islanders flipped him for a higher return if their posteason fortunes don't improve and he isn't open to resigning. If the Islanders do try flipping Bo at the deadline than thats great news for us. Could they get more in return than we did, no! because if the Islanders turn into sellers we most certainly have their lottery pick in 2024. That roster is not built for the long term and if they fail this season, next season does not get better. What could NYI's possibly get thats better than a top prospect, a lottery pick and a roster player (call him a cap dump if you want but he is a serviceable 2-3 line winger). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your happy then good! I'm not here to shit all over management on this one.... they shot their shot and it may work out. The pick could be a 2024 top 5 - that would be amazing! I'm just saying I think historcially this team has been objectively poor at asset management and I can't say I agree with how this trade was handled in the media. I've seen a lot of good players get traded at the deadline and often other teams take a dfiferent approach to the one the Canucks did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that to say they should of held out for more seems so hypothetical. It could just as easily blow up in their face or the player gets injured and you get zero.
