Timråfan Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I am curious what the return would be if we trade our 2 1sts(5, 13) for an RHD and maybe other players and or off loading OEL or Myers or another player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-walker Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Our 2 1st, brock, Myers, garland, Rathbone for Bedard do you think that gets it done? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close, it probably starts with Pettersson and the 2 1sts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 absolutely not. 5 and 13? michkov/smith/benson and Barlow/Wood/Honzek There's not many RHD teams would part with that make it even remotely appealing to take 2 steps back to acquire. Dobson is about the ONLY one that rings that bell and NYI is not giving him up at all. Until we know what our picks are and what they're worth it's not worth entertaining. At this point in time; like Montreal. Vancouver has an outside shot at drafting twice in the top 5 if the NYI pick hits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the other team would listen if it was Pettersson, Hughes and our two 1sts I think it's a possibility that they do trade one of the 1sts to rid themselves of a contract (OEL or Myers). I hope not, Canucks need high end prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no team is trading the first overall this year. There is simply zero chance unless some team is willing to completely handicap their future for one player. For example the deal that might get it done is Petterson, Hughes and our 2 1st's, and thats still a maybe. The only way to get Bedard is through the draft lottery.

Statistically it’s a small chance to get Bedard with a fifth in the draft so wich team is willing to gamble their first RHD for a chance to get Bedard? 59 minutes ago, JayDangles said: Absolutely no team is trading the first overall this year.

Honestly, I think the response from whichever GM gets the 1st overall is that Bedard is not available. I doubt the GM even bothers to entertain trade offers. Winning the 1st overall is literally winning the lottery. There isn't anything better. Whoever gets the 1st will be more than happy with that, and will have zero interest in any trades.

Who is willing to trade their best RHD, and other trades related to it, to us before the draft? So we trade away our chance for Bedard to get something we need at once and starting competing from next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Myers as a problem because he only has 1 year left on his contract. After his bonus is paid out in July, his salary will cost $1m, but his cap hit remains $6m. I can see a rebuilding team that has a lot of cap space, taking Myers. OEL is another story. His contract is so huge that the Canucks would have to retain too much to move him. I'm beginning to think that the only way to unload the contract is via buyout. Yes, it extends the contract, but the annual cap hit is much lower as dead cap space, so it still helps the team moving forward. https://www.capfriendly.com/buyout-calculator/oliver-ekman-larsson The Canucks are desperate to improve their prospect pool with better players. This coming draft year is supposed to be stronger, with more quality picks. If they end up in the top 5, they will likely get an excellent Centre; while anything under #16 will likely be a very good player as well. Even the 2nd rounder may be very good, but will take longer to reach the NHL. For this team to improve, they need to continue making trades at the TDL and during the offseason and have huge success at the draft.

I'd imagine there are a couple playoff bound teams that would be willing to trade some good D in the summer for a couple 1st's (Rangers, Boston, Maybe Arizona, Carolina, NJ). But nothing will happen before the TDL while those teams are still contending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawbone Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 If this team was close to being a cup contender, and adding a couple of really good pieces right now gave us a good chance of winning it all in the next couple of years, then yes. But right now, nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
