MattWN. Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Just now, Sharpshooter said: It allows for there to be two pairings with a quality offensive dman paired with a more defensive minded one. OEL - Hughes T. Commander - Hronek Wolanin - Bear Just need to trade Myers and fill that hole with a off-season signing or TDL/Draft trade. Hronek is a good pickup. Dude lol, there are literally 0 defensive minded defensemen in that lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I guess this just goes to show the price of NHL RHD. Hronek's not a bad piece and should improve the blue line but still many holes with the team. Seemed like it would be better to try and draft are way out of the problem, but the goal is still clearly to get competitive as soon as possible. Whether they achieve that is questionable. Would have loved the 1st Rd pick in this year's deep draft, or the shot at a potential lottery pick in 2024. Hronek's good but not that good, IMHO.

DownUndaCanuck Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 If JB made this move he'd be crucified. This is a big move by Allvin, telling us they want to win soon, they don't want to try and rebuild. Pretty pathetic for a bottom 6 team in the league. If we win and make the playoffs next year then great, this move looks good on us, but if we don't it's yet another OEL-like gamble and waste of a great pick. I get the risk involved with drafting defencemen but there's bigger risk in wasting top picks to just acquire good players when you have the rest of the team in shambles. We need plenty more moves to solidify this team still. If we're going for it, we still need to do lots of re-shaping. I'm all for going for it but we need a 3rd line center and another top 4 defenceman to be taken seriously, and somehow move one of Myers or OEL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 2 minutes ago, MattWN. said: Yes, because an offensive dman was what we were missing. Exactly why I have mixed feelings about this; sure he's young and having a strong season so we could argue we got him at a bargain on paper, and RHD was our position of need and we get one who's only 25, but it really begs the question of whether he's the right fit (Myers/ OEL/ Hughes all focus on moving the puck too). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL'er Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 This is such BS. I had the same reaction to the OEL trade. PUKE. PUKE. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Man Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Should've held on to the picks and build through the draft. Enough of this fence jumping, mixed messages, etc. Edit: Unless there's something in the works involving Boeser, Miller with getting picks back, this is an L.

bad alice french Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I guess we can start cheering for Horvat again. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 What this trade does do for us is it opens up the possibility of moving Boeser or Garland for a defensive LHD. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WHL rocks Posted March 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) So if we got a RD with NYI 1st at the draft it would take 4+ years for him to develop into an NHLer. And the chances of him turning into a Horonek would be slim. We paid an extra 2nd and got our RD we've been clamoring for years now. He's young and having a break out year. This is a good trade imo. We pay a bit more now but get what we've needed for years. Edited March 1, 2023 by WHL rocks 1 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Rutherford not satisfied with destroying the team's reputation and is now sabotaging the future as well. This is likely a win for Vancouver long-term as it will expedite the Canucks firing this parasite sooner.

Absolute win I mentioned this already that the NYI 1st rounder is in play and people are actually surprised by this move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we move Miller and get a 1st and Pickering as part of it we could start to be light years ahead of where we were. We're not moving Miller. We're not moving boeser.

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Carries the puck a lot, not super effective on 5v5. He seemed to be figuring things out in Detroit, so we have absolutely no idea what's going to happen when he comes here. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
