I don’t get it they haven’t done a damn thing on the defensive side? I get dmen are hard to find but what’s with all the forward signings yet nothing but bear on the backend which has been this clubs Achilles heel for years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Decent deal. Looking forward to watching Raty in Abby. Hogs - Raty - Podz. Best of luck to Bo, nothing but good things to say about him. Pettersson, it’s all yours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Was not disappointed with the knee jerk reactions. Not Miller trade level but it’s up there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need about another 2 roster moves minimum to change this culture. To me, moving bo means it's Petey's team, but miller is never going to let this be anything but millers team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van_ws Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I am still puzzled why we got no D prospects back from this trade when it's the biggest weakness. Hopefully, we see more fire sale trades soon but the tank is on with Horvat gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks don't need a 6-7 D... we have 5-6-7 D's coming out our ears. OEL can play as a 5-6-7, Myers can play as a 5-6-7, Bear can play as a 5-6-7. If Schenn is still here, he can play 5-6-7. Canucks need #2, #3, #4 D's to complement Hughes at #1.... preferably with size and mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then BO should have taken the 6.5x8 deal. It's enough to live a comfortable life if he really wanted to stay in Vancouver... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see them catching Buffalo or Pittsburgh at all, even with Bo. Desperate JB-like move by Lou and if they miss the playoffs he should be fired. NYI are 3 games above .500 and the last wildcard spot team are 8 above .500, that's quite a gap. Sure, plenty of time, but they just don't have enough quality on that team and defensive depth IMO.

Then lemme know how being laughed at sounds in 2 different languages The French TSN had both MTL 1sts + caufield for 1OA. We better be picking with our picks though...

EternalCanuckFan Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Canucks retaining on Bo is fine since it's just for this year. Could it have resulted in higher return elsewhere? Maybe, but impossible to know unless other packages are disclosed (which is highly doubtful). That being said, I can see this deal still being decent value. For the same reasons the Canucks don't want to sign Bo to a deal reflecting this year's production, I'm sure other teams were wary of trading a package for a 90+ point C in his only season scoring at that pace. It was never realistic for another team to bet the farm on Bo based on this year's production. This trade package is decent for Bo's career numbers. 2023 1st Rd picks seem to very closely held by GMs this year (understandably) so securing the possibility of acquiring one is pretty good and there is the possibility of having an unprotected selection in 2024. That is actually pretty good. The Canucks will either pick twice in the first round, probably anywhere between 6-10 and/or 13-20, or they will pick twice next year (possibly with two lottery picks). Maybe retention on Bo was what brought the 2023 1st Rder into play and allowed for no-pick protection in 2024. On first appearance, this is not a "home run" deal but it is a decent one that can turn into a home run especially if Raty even comes close to his potential and if the pick ultimately are able to contribute in the NHL. Beauvillier has struggled over the last year but he's still a decent forward. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
