Rumor: Benning has green light to make a trade and is working the phones. Trying to fix "chemistry"

[DFF]

I hope he's calling Treliving. I'm sure the Flames would be interested in Pettersson.

They are talking, usually exchanging busts though

 

[Three On Zero]

I hope he's calling Treliving. I'm sure the Flames would be interested in Pettersson.

Canucks, Flames and Oilers have some weird obsession of rotating players. So it’s likely possible

 

[Stephen]

These kind of random mandate missions for GM's can be scary as a fan, but it really just boils down to how can the Canucks fix Pettersson doesn't it?

 

[2HunnidJoints]

I would love to see the Avs trade Byram for Petterson. I really think that is a fair value trade

 

[Mr Positive]

they are at a cross roads. Chicago is winning games, so it is possible for the Canucks as well. I hear that last game vs the Canucks was actually very good, despite the loss.

However, as an Oiler fan I have seen several times the damage of what a desperate GM can do on their way out.

 

[DazeHereToAmaze91]

I'd kill to have Horvat on the team.

Only 1 year left after this season.

1 st + Chytil + Lundkvist for Horvat?

If he was signed for longer I'd offer way more than that. But he's going to get a big raise and Benning is Benning so this is probably a huge overpayment .

 

[apocalypse]

Vladimir Tkachev + 3rd

for

Conor Garland + 7th

 

[Gstank]

Vladimir Tkachev + 3rd

for

Conor Garland + 7th

Doughty for Burroughs and a 2nd

 

[lawrence]

I wonder if Elias Pettersson is available and what would it take to get him?

something similar to eichel probably. Which is really not much. A recent 1st rounder 1st Round pick a roster player not equal to him and that’s provably it. If he doesn’t turn things around and at least put up a reasonable amount of 5v5 points the Canucks will not reach the playoffs. At this point we can’t even blame management for that, although management is truly at fault with other stuff, pettersson needs to play at a certain level even at the bare minimum 1st line centre.

 

[Cogburn]

This pending trade might just be the blood sacrifice needed to end Bennings tenure in Vancouver.

That’s way too much.

I’ll take it.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Nucks won a game. Perfect on the PK.

Chemistry solved.

 

[Shmuffalo]

[Benning whistles and walks into Francesco Aquilini's Office]

Benning: Hey, Fellers, I think I worked out a trade.
Aquilini: ...Did ya, pal?
Benning: Sure, did. It's a good one. Ever heard of a first round pick that's conditional!?

[Aquilini sighes]

Aquilini: Good job, buddy... please, leave.

It could be one of those rare times where the NHL steps in a voids a trade.

 

[Boondock]

Vladimir Tkachev + 3rd

for

Conor Garland + 7th

Is that the 3rd overall pick?

 

[DazeHereToAmaze91]

That’s way too much.

I’ll take it.

What would it take realistically?

 

[apocalypse]

Doughty for Burroughs and a 2nd

Tkachev has 9 points in 5 ahl games. He is a legit playmaker.

 

[apocalypse]

Is that the 3rd overall pick?

I get it. Garlands good. what would Van be asking for in return

 

[Canadian Canuck]

I get it. Garlands good. what would Van be asking for in return

Honestly if there’s no Turcotte/Byfield/1st involved idk who I’d want.

 

[Nucker42]

Honestly if there’s no Turcotte/Byfield/1st involved idk who I’d want.

Don’t agree as Canucks fan, if there’s no right hand top pairing potential d man then no.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Don’t agree as Canucks fan, if there’s no right hand top pairing potential d man then no.

You wouldn’t trade Garland for Turcotte or Byfield?

 

[Nucker42]

You wouldn’t trade Garland for Turcotte or Byfield?

I mean they never would, but from a needs perspective the Canucks only have 3rd pairing right d men with zero prospects coming. I’m not dealing any assets for anything other than right d. Personally.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Bowser, Horvat and Miller would get very nice returns.

 

[Mergatroidskittle]

Tkachev has 9 points in 5 ahl games. He is a legit playmaker.

Yeah in the ahl. Doesn’t mean it’ll translate

 

[ratbid]

I think Pettersson this year about equal, but I think if he returns to form he holds more value. But Byram has room to grow so I can see people arguing otherwise.

That being said I don't think this would make sense for the Nucks. You're opening a huge hold at centre to plug one on D.
