Rumor: Canucks Making a move soon

[nergish]

Just an opinion, but I agree with it

You know Allvin is the GM, right?

 

[LemonSauceD]

It would be the dumbest thing to trade an 80-100 point Center for Cozens who can’t even play center at the NHL level lmao.

 

[Habs7631]

That would be daylight robbery from Buffalo. There’s no way you can’t get more than that for EP if you really want to trade him.

 

[brock hughes007]

The only move that's gonna happen asap is Vinny D.Everything else is purely made up.

Probably this

 

[Turin]

People thinking it’s a blockbuster Pettersson trade when it’s Hog for a 3rd or something

Yeah, I'm hearing* it's Hoglander + Desharnais for something like Drew O'Connor.

* the voices in my head

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

Murphy and Hall 50% for Desharnais and 1st

Garland-Miller-Boeser
Hall-Pettersson-Debrusk
Heinen-Suter-Sherwood
Joshua-Blueger-Hoglander

Hughes-Hronek
Soucy-Murphy
Forbert-Myers

this is the type of deal i expect

this. 100%

 

[CanadasTeam99]

This would be a huge loss for Buffalo. They better be careful and not make hasty moves.

 

[leeroggy]

You want an injury prone winger and an undersized winger to play around a centre core of 33 YO Brock Nelson and Bo Horvat? Makes absolutely no sense for the Islanders. Canucks don't even need Barzal and they'd be losing a lot of their winger depth but that is such a homerun deal they'd still have to take it

Seems like you are contradicting your own thoughts in those sentences. And in case you haven't noticed, Barzal hasn't played center this year, he's been Horvat's winger. We need goal scorers; Barzal is just not that, he's pass first, and we just need to reconfigure how we play offense.

 

[Siludin]

This is speculation moreso than rumor.
Friedman said it was just in his head, and the video doesn't mention trading Pettersson at all.

 

[Forsbergaura21]

I would love to see a bigger trade. Something like this maybe:

To Van: Zibanejad, Kakko, pick
To NYR: JT Miller, Hoglander, Desharnais

Cap would be very close. Vancouver basically moves all 3 guys they are having issues with. NYR moves the guys they have concerns with.

I think change of scenery may work out here. Miller should be happy to go back to NY where I could see him have bigger role this time around. Hoglander will add some speed to NYR, which they need. Desharnais can be useful depth now that Trouba is gone.

For Vancouver, Zibanejad will join a nice group of Swedes so he may like that. Kakko could fit in nicely in their top 9 too…

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Cozens and Byram for Hoglander, Silovs, Desharnais and 1st.

Sabres run a 1A/1B duo with Levi and Silovs.

And UPL just vanishes into the either like half the Marvel universe when Thanos snapped his fingers?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

It seems like the gist if it is EP and Miller can't coexist and EP will be the one to go.

 

[Mike Jones]

You know Allvin is the GM, right?

So why haven't people been calling the team the Chipmunks?

 

[Nogatco Rd]

So why haven't people been calling the team the Chipmunks?

Waiting until they trade for Simon Nemec and Shea Theodore

 

[Forsbergaura21]

It seems like the gist if it is EP and Miller can't coexist and EP will be the one to go.

I strongly doubt that for a few reasons:
1. EP is 5 years younger than JT
2. EP is their #1 Center, not JT
3. When issues began it was JT who had to take time off from team, not EP
4. From what I read JT has issues with more than 1 teammate

 

[bossram]

Murphy and Hall 50% for Desharnais and 1st

Garland-Miller-Boeser
Hall-Pettersson-Debrusk
Heinen-Suter-Sherwood
Joshua-Blueger-Hoglander

Hughes-Hronek
Soucy-Murphy
Forbert-Myers

Yeah, it's this kind of deal that I more-or-less expect, and I don't mind it for a Canucks POV.

I am much higher on Hall than 99.9% of most people and think he would complement the forward group nicely.

I like Murphy too, and he definitely helps, but the Canucks do need a guy that can raise the floor of their puck-moving and play-making from the back-end. Not sure if Murphy is that.

Murphy is not that but he will eat minutes and be physical. You wont be nervous with him on the ice.

 

[Rowlet]

This makes sense as the Canucks and Blackhawks love dealing with each other, apparently our GMs are in a group chat with two other mystery GMs.

edit: Allvin said he was in a small one and the others were narrowed down to be some number of Dubas, Davidson, Conroy, and potentially Conroy.

 

[Lawzy]

2. EP is their #1 Center, not JT
3. When issues began it was JT who had to take time off from team, not EP
4. From what I read JT has issues with more than 1 teammate

I agree with your stance but certainly not for these reasons (minus 1). Miller and Pettersson are as close to a 1a / 1b as you'll find in the league (both in TOI and matchup) and, with the exception of the brief time they were reunited on the lotto line earlier this year, Miller has clearly been the better player for the last 1.5 years. 3 and 4 are straight up conjecture and shouldn't be entertained at all.

Friedman is completely spitballing here. If a Canucks trade is imminent I would bet my life savings it would be something small a la Desharnais shipped out or Hoglander + a pick for some help on defence.

 

[Johnsie19]

Massive L for Canucks. Massive. Reminiscent of Tkachuk to Fla.

Tkachuk to Florida at least looked good at the time of the deal. This looks awful already.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Zibanejad and Lindgren for Pettersson. Do it.

 

[JKG33]

Massive L for Canucks. Massive. Reminiscent of Tkachuk to Fla.

If EP had even 1/10th of the give a shit Tkachuk does, you might have a point

 

[UrbanImpact]

Canucks arent moving Pettersson. They'd move Miller before they move Pettersson if there is a rift between the 2.

but to just go with the thread, if Buffalo and Van are talking Pettersson, Id imagine it would look like this:

To Sabres
Pettersson
Forbort

To Van
Power
Cozens
1st rnd pick- top 5 protected
B+ Level Prospect

26 yr old 2 way -100 point scoring Centre with a Point Per Game Average after 400+ NHL games dont grow on trees. They also dont cost cheap.
