Pears Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 7 minutes ago, eeeeergh said: People really need to be less fixated on the NYI pick It wasnt our pick If he could have traded Bo for a Hronek package directly he would have The Bo trade was engineered to get us a top-4 RD, but we got a better return by getting the package with the pick and then flipping the pick. We traded Bo and a 2nd For Hronek, Beauviller, Raty, and a 4th Thats the trade to evaluate. Which is some really tidy business from management. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAN basically traded Bo to NYI for Beauvillier and Raty. Then VAN traded a 2nd for Hronek and a 4th. Wow, great trade for a young Top 4 RD. VAN still has 6 picks in the first 4 rounds, including their 1st. Yup haha And we also need to remember that we still have time to recoup picks before this draft This years UFA pool is pretty bad. I expect PA figured it'll be easier to sell Boeser or Garland after the playoffs, when contracts are up and teams have to start digging around the bargain bin in UFA and find very little. Im pretty sure they'll bring back a 2nd round pick before the draft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR hates pics, he is all about now decisions, it is how he has always worked and why FA went looking for him so specifically. FA and JR a match made in, well you decide. Do people her get confused by PA and JR roles? Isn’t it PA deciding what happens with the picks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked good on the pp with endless feeds from Bedard, but his 5v5 game was meh. Not saying I would t like him on the Canucks, but I don't see him being a needle mover. Guenther surprised me. Didn't think we missed much in the draft. Know it's vogue to take a lot of stock from the WJ's. His last couple games he was a boss. Hard not to notice that.

He was good on the pp, with vedard feeding him.all tournament, but I found him pretty invisible 5v5. I think he'll be like Boeser, in that he can be a good complimentary player if paired with a player who can dominate games. I don't see him being better than Garland though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBackup Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Seems like everything management says ultimately boils down to people arguing over the semantics of it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR did say he wasn't going to rush into anything and would take his time to assess things. You don't think his initial assesment from arrival could possibly change after taking time to assess the team? Plans are always fluid. Hronek is 25 not 32. He's a whopping one year older than Petey. If Hronek doesn't fit the plan we might as well move Petey and just start over from square one. The odds are that 1st and 2nd moved for him are years away from stepping on NHL ice and becoming what they need to be. How many years of Petey, Hughes, and Demko do you want to waste waiting for magic beans to grow, or *gasp* fail? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
