EP Phone Home Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 How are we liking this deal? It’s finally a RSD has one year of term at 4.4 cap. We needed a RSD this is the cost of the rare elusive position that we needed. However, that said I think we might be the franchise that HATES 2nd rounders more then anything. Every year we dump them like an allergic reaction and that we have to get rid of it. Just like death and taxes, you can guarantee Canucks are trading their 2nd round pick. But what do you guys/gals think? Happy? Not happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are no where near to challenging for that. And won’t be for a bit. Still gotta keep chipping away at the needs though. Hopefully build a core with the mid 20 players and then add playoff vets when the team shows that the team is firing on most/all cylinders.

But management thinks we are close to contention I guess and are selling ownership on a 2 year turnaround. I'm just gonna have to STFU because it is what it is even though I hate it. Management drinks the water in Vancouver and becomes stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Just now, Smashian Kassian said: Hronek has 38 points this season, 22 points at even strength, and he clearly plays 2nd unit behind Seider. Also plays PK. If he can help move the puck, that'll be great. Seems like a player we need. Nothing against Hronek, just need to let the shock set in. Thing is, we are epically bad a drafting and developing D. Maybe this is the only way we can get one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SekaniCanuck Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I would rather we do a full on rebuild, but no we get fleeced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both those picks will be far more valuable at the draft, why not wait? There's zero need to add right now.

Pure961089 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 The Red Wings showing the Canucks how to do a proper rebuild. They’ll win a cup before the Canucks do. Take it to the bank. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is this ownerships crutch to do these kind of short sighted moves. it's highly doubtful that pick drops to next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted March 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2023 So the full deal is: Bo Horvat 2023 2nd round pick for Filip Hronek Anthony Beauvillier Aatu Raty 2023 4th round pick If we were trading BO and our 2nd and we got that return back in one trade, would that not be a good trade? I think it would be a home run. Need to look at the bigger picture here... 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 1 hour ago, DownUndaCanuck said: Would rather have the picks, that could have been Reinbacher and Dragicevic. Seems the Canucks want to win ASAP. First impressions - don't like the trade. Hronek is a top young RD and just 25 but those are two very valuable picks... You mean Aqua-Lini wants to try and squeek into the playoffs right now to keep revenue and false hope up.............and yes those could have been two "Blue-Chip" pics for the future (something Aqua-Lini doesn't get). Hope this guy is worth two extremely valuable picks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelPeca Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Don't mind this trade in isolation. Was hoping though that the plan had a more long term draft and develop backbone to it. Looks more like PA/JR are trying to shuffle the deck and hope for a successful combo of players.I'll leave those decisions to the pros but this now feels more like the Benning years which obviously never worked. Wish I had more faith in this process - whatever it is supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
