Rumor: Canucks Making a move soon | Update: #254

[Just A Bit Outside]

Update:

It's 8:38am PST on Thursday, December 19. Rutherford has been up since 4am PST and is just about to have his lunch followed by his mid-day nap.

So it expected that before he goes to bed at 5pm PST, he will have cleaned his glasses and tried, unsuccessfully, to open his email three times.

Hogz healthy scratch. My guess is Vancouver increasing the Petterson head count.

 

[Qwijibo]

Hogz healthy scratch. My guess is Vancouver increasing the Petterson head count.

Marcus Pettersson is out week to week with an injury. I doubt they're rushing to beat the Christmas freeze to aquire an injured player

 

[Peter Griffin]

Healthy scratch because he deserves to be scratched.

 

[Nucker42]

Healthy scratch because he deserves to be scratched.

Or because he’s been traded. Think both are possibilities right now.

 

[Three On Zero]

People going to be bummed when it’s Hog + a pick, and there isn’t anything between Miller and Pettersson

Hronek was injured when Vancouver traded for him, I do believe

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Hoglander for Zadorov. Done deal.

Hoglander for the injured Pit D man?

 

[Three On Zero]

Hoglander for the injured Pit D man?

I would be surprised, but it isn’t outside the realm of possibilities

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Hoglander for the injured Pit D man?

If that's all it costs, I'd be stunned. Hog is having a downright dismal season. Have to assume picks/prospects are going with him for Pettersson

 

[Turin]

Hoglander for the injured Pit D man?

Marcus Pettersson is a very solid #3 defenseman. Hoglander is right now a 4th line winger

 

[Peter Griffin]

Or because he’s been traded. Think both are possibilities right now.

Probably higher probability that Tocchet has just had enough of him than the Canucks moving him in the waning hours before the deadline but anything is possible.

 

[dirtydanglez]

trade pettersson you cowards.

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

So is it only a matter of time before Byram is a Canuck, somehow. Looks like they almost have any piece available for trade other than Hughes. So much smoke and he’s been targeted for well over a year.

 

[The411]

i've literally seen Miller, in public, with Horvat. As friends. Chillin'. the constant random nonsense that comes out of fans is hilarious.

I love a good narrative but the distortion of actual facts is comically childish

I saw Horvat spitting in Miller’s drink when he wasn’t looking. He was also giving Miller nudgies, wet Willies and atomic wedgies.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Why not something really crazy like Dahlin for Pettersson?

1 for 1

Dahlin is a top 5 dman in the league. EP is nowhere close to a top 5 forward.

 

[rea]

Dahlin is a top 5 dman in the league. EP is nowhere close to a top 5 forward.

While I'll agree dahlin is prob higher up the dman rankings than ep is up the c rankings, he isn't a top 5 dman

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

I feel like every single season there’s some pathetically vague Canucks rumor that (allegedly) culminates in a deal many weeks later where the best player involved is an overpaid depth guy leaving Vancouver.

Hronek?

Lindholm?

what are you talking about?

 

[Regal]

While I'll agree dahlin is prob higher up the dman rankings than ep is up the c rankings, he isn't a top 5 dman

Also the top 5 centres are better than the top 5 defensemen, let alone top 5 forwards.

 

[Three On Zero]

Dahlin is a top 5 dman in the league. EP is nowhere close to a top 5 forward.

Dahlin is not a top 5 dman in the league. At best in the 10-15 range

 

[lawrence]

ray ferraro pretending to be oblivious . I'm sure his wife is telling him about the highs and lows at work.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Dahlin is not a top 5 dman in the league. At best in the 10-15 range

He was on every single person's list in the top 10 dmen in the league thread.

 

[Fjordy]

He was on every single person's list in the top 10 dmen in the league thread.

Healthy Dahlin is huge for us, best player, he played this season with a back injury, maybe he got an injection today and he was great and the team finally won.

To
LW Nils Hoglander (3 x $3M)
D Vincent Desharnais (1 x $2M)

To
C/W Phillip Kurashev ($2.25M cap x RFA in offseason)
D TJ Brodie (1 x $3.75M)

Both Kurashev and Hoglander could use change of scenery type moves while Allan and Korchinski situations make vet in Brodie no longer needed (Idea was not to rush kids but Allan especially took NHL spot and has thrived with it) a cheaper #6/7 alternative in Desharnais would be easier to move on from/manage as additional kids are in picture next year for potential roster spots (Also if Hawks move on from say Murphy a guy like Desharnais at RD may fit as stopgap to team until kid establishes themselves)

In this deal Hawks also take longer term cap hit in Hoglander so assume risk if he doesn't turn things around

Pretty good basis for proposal, what do you think of Murphy being in the deal instead of Brodie - extra pick?
