Then it takes one of Florida or the Sens who just made a big add to win one more game than the Islanders the rest of the way. All I’m saying should have made some protection on that pick just in case. Could be nothing or it could be disastrous. But with protection it would just be nothing.

N4ZZY Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I'm just curious about the timeline with this trade, and where management feels like they need to be heading towards. If the Canucks just started trading away their players for picks and prospects (i.e. Bloom, Kratsov, etc), this team probably isn't very good, and how do you get Petey and Hughes to want to remain with the team moving forward? If management is swinging for deals like Hronek, for draft picks, then you don't have a prospect pool (or at the very least, it's bottom of the pack), while the team isn't either very good. To me, this feels like the franchise is in no-man's land. Who do we blame for that? Rutherford's thinking that he can get the team to a competitive cycle again in 2-3 years, is insane. Is there any franchise in the league that has attempted the same thing and come out successful? I'm genuinely curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Just now, N7Nucks said: 7-8mil? What the hell? In what world is he worth Ekblad, Carlson and Hughes money? You say some really outlandish sh*t, but yikes. Lol. Ekblad and Carlsson signed those deals 5 years ago. Do you understand contract values go up with the cap? Hughes signed his deal after his ELC and only one season under his belt. He had very little leverage. Maybe sit out talking about player contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Drunken Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) 46 minutes ago, myre said: He is but should we be trading these picks for a mid 20s player? Apparently Aqua won't allow a rebuild. @Alflives was right all along. But when should they start improving the blueline? Now or years from now? Is this not making the blueline better....isn't it what everyone wants? Edited March 2 by Harold Drunken 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 3 minutes ago, RWJC said: Maybe a slight overvaluation of draft picks on this board? What we just picked up was a key piece in a full backend rebuild. That’s exciting…why? because we don’t have to wait 2-3+ years to know what we have and if it’s even NHL caliber at that point. Hronek is a known quantity and highly regarded. Our D needs revamp yesterday, not 3-4 years from now when our draft picks MIGHT be able to transition. we still have picks to load the cupboard. what we don’t have is an NHL defense. This is one big step forward over minimal draft odds. folks should be pleased about this because it’s a definitive need we’ve carried over multiple seasons now. It’s worth the trade. So why does it feel like most of the fanbase isn't happy with this trade? I was listening to 650, and they were mentioning how there might be a disconnect with how the fanbase sees where the team is at, and where management sees the team.

Locke Lamora Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Well, from what I’ve seen from Red Wings boards most fans don’t seem to be upset by losing Hronek….and some are downright giddy and think Detroit absolutely fleeced us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would actually be a pretty bad scenario. Someone can correct me if I am wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_theRyper Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 1 minute ago, canucklehead44 said: Ballard, Gudbranson, OEL. Why can’t this team learn that you shouldn’t trade high picks/prospects for iffy 2nd pairing dmen who make a lot Add Myers to that list although a UFA signing. Offensive D they're trying to get to play defensively. Same as OEL, 30+ years and Ok you're a defensive D now. Talk about square peg in a round hole. That's what worries me with Honks if theyre going with Hughes and him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can someone be that impatient and be a successful businessman? Successful business people are patient people, who understand when to make deals. Francesco's impatience would indicate he sucks at his business. Look at his toy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Kind of how Rutherford has always worked. Not much for draft picks. Feeds on college UFAs and Euro FAs. Hope this isn’t the end and he adds a pick or two while getting some money off the wing. ‘College UFA season coming quick. May add to RD then as well.

(Why do you call the team 'You', most fans would say 'We' have no assets, etc?) By the way, I love Bear and respect him. For hockey, I hope he can hold onto our 3RD position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
