Rumor: Canucks making a move soon (JK x 2)

[Buresflyingelbow]

Right about now would be a great time for Petey and Miller to do a skit like Schneider and Luongo did back in the day.

[impaaaaaact]

Canucks send: EP40

Islanders send: Mat Barzal, Alexander Romanov

 

[604]

Canucks send: EP40

Islanders send: Mat Barzal, Alexander Romanov

Barzal + Dobson for EP40 + Desharnais

Canucks need a center back unless it’s for a winger like Brady Tkachuk.

Miller for Suzuki?

 

[bernmeister]

I could see Kakko for Hoglander

nope

 

[bernmeister]

'nucks add pivot depth, keep EP

Zib max retained down to 4.25
for
Raty, Juulsen, Forbot + Descharnais

gives EP fellow swede, and top 6 who can slide to 3C
and at 4.25 if it doesn't work out, can retain and sell to basement to meet cap floor

Rs get 3C for now Raty, + stopgap D help
Desch is cooked but we take him as cost of doing biz

--------
btw Byram is legit w/some value, but also has concussion history = risk vs return

Even though they are 6,7,8 level dmen, that’s all the Canucks on depth.

Otherwise it’s not terrible.

 

[Quinning]

Something needs to happen

 

[DatDude44]

Pius Suter for Brandon Saad?

 

[Rowlet]

Pius Suter for Brandon Saad?

No from the Canucks.

 

[Draft]

Miller for Suzuki?

Why do you think a rebuilding team would be interested in trading their 25yo captain and PPG 1C for a guy that’s turning 32 in a couple months?

I think you’d have a hard time finding many Habs fans that would trade Suzuki for Pettersson let alone Miller.

 

[DatDude44]

No from the Canucks.

but... please?

 

[Rowlet]

but... please?

No, Suter is good and costs 1/3rd

Barzal played center until last season, he was only moved off because his best potential linemate is also a center. If you play him at C you probably want a winger on the line comfortable with taking draws though

would acquiring zib free up an F to trade for D help?

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

A world in which said player has a NMC, can choose where he wants to go, has well-documented anger management issues, has already worn out his welcome two other times, and whose relationship with several current teammates is no longer tenable?

If that were the offer, we'd be telling Miller to suck it up because he's not leaving unless he opens up his list. We're not giving him away regardless of what he may or may not have demanded.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Miller for Suzuki?

No from both sides

 

[Peter Griffin]

This is a great way of saying, “he’s better suited as a winger”. If I was moving Pettersson, Barzal wouldn’t be a guy I’d have a lot of interest in.

Doesn’t matter, that’s not really how real life works.

 

[BlueGoose27]

Barzel plays center

 

[Peter Griffin]

Barzel plays center

He hasn’t played center regularly since the Isles acquired Horvat.

 

[Three On Zero]

Canucks won, move off.

 

[Some Other Flame]

It worked

Malkin (half retained), Pettersson (the defenseman who doesn't play for the Canucks yet, also half retained) for Joshua, Desharnais ,1st Round Pick, 3rd Rd Pick
