I'm more in the keep the 1st round picks you have and build a team properly camp. Imagine a bottom tier team trading a 1st for a win now piece. It's absurd.

He'll be wanting $6m+, imo, if he plays with Petey consistently Have the Canucks ever sold high on anyone? Bo Horvat and Trevor Linden...maybe.

At least *some people will still buy tickets The cup is the goal,but getting playoff experience makes the group better going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also would argue that we didn't need an ehrhoff light, we needed a Mitchell. Again it's ok to like the player it is also questionable as to the timing. It feels very knee jerk and at a bad time. Isn’t Hronek supposed to take over PP2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livingstone signing D Petey coming in Boeser for a D Graves/Severson/Schenn We cannot carry that much dead money for 8 years, period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy my blueberries! Rent my condos! We’ll never rebuild! Bahaahahaha I love blueberries. I eat them every day. The best blueberry farms are in Pitt Meadows. Also, pure blueberry juice is very healthy for you. The one with no added sugar. I would highly recommend to drink every day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 3 minutes ago, luckylager said: About the Oilers being mismanaged for over a decade? Yes. Look at our last decade 2012-15 they tried to get it back, hard to fault them after to getting to game 7 and how do you "rebuild" when your key pieces only give you 1-2 options for a deal? After a couple misses (though OJ was injury related) they got their man in Petey and thats when the "rebuild" started. Since then they've managed to put together a pretty good young core of players........it's now a matter of supporting them properly. Why would they to go back to the beginning of that process? Or do you not think Petey, Hughes and Demko can be successful in Van? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a short term move, meant to get this team into the playoffs next year. This isn't some 22 year old. Great idea, getting back into the playoffs. Hopefully this management group can do it, last group tried similar and failed big time. He’s reasonably young. Not many 22 year defencemen have solidified themselves out there. They are usually projects or too good to be traded. Not to mention we’d be lucky to get a 29 year old through Free Agency and we’d over pay of course. So for those reasons I like this move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but theres very likely a contingency plan for accommodating OEL. We’re just not privy to it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckwings Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 After a few hours of letting this trade sink in, i am still very upset because of the timing and the price we paid in a deep draft. Sens paid an extra second rounder for Chychrun who has longer term remaining in his contract. Sure he's an UFA and a LHD, but he's a better overall defenseman. How does Dorion pull that off while Allvin does this? I can live with it if they can't move some of the bad contracts by deadline, but I can't accept that they made this trade at this time. If we kept those draft picks we can at least replenish our prospect pool, which is still very shallow even with the addition of Raty. Instead we continue to go backwards and spend our draft picks like candies. Why does the Canucks management continue to make puzzling moves? Is there a way we can petition to stop this non sense? We really need management to listen and accept fans are not as dumb as they think and that we are ready for a proper rebuild. I'm almost at a point where i don't even care if we need to trade Petterson to call it a rebuild.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this management group can do it, last group tried similar and failed big time. He’s a year older than Pettersson, 2 years older than Hughes, and 2 years younger than Demko, who Rutherford and Allvin have identified as the “core”. I’d say he fits in nicely with that core. Hopefully Podkolzin, Hoglander, Raty, Karlsson, Klimovich, Rathbone, Jurmo, McDonough, Lekkerimaki, and Johansson can start getting folded in to the mix to supplement the team. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksCountry Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I honestly like the deal Hronek is still young and a very good RHD this trade and reaction reminds me alot of the Miller deal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Canucks had only 1 1st this year I might be a bit miffed but they kept the better pick, which is more of a lock to be an impact player. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
