The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
How about Pius Suter for Joel Eriksson Ek? I think it’s a trade both teams make. Eriksson is barely better than Suter to be honest, I’d probably be more comfortable giving up someone like Soucy or Aman.
is this real?

Nobody talks about the Capitals being buyers. They’re an absolute wagon this year.

Maybe they’d like to add Brock. Ovi doesn’t have many years left in him.
they can re create the Erat for Forsberg deal. Boeser for Leonard??
 
I think it is just fantasy.

With Sherwood getting the single season hit record, this is the perfect storm to start dangling him in front of GMs before the deadline. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if you could pull a 1st.

Boeser
Garland
Sherwood
Debrusk
Soucy

Should all be shopped hard in these next two weeks.

I don't normally but I'm pretty much at the point of saying just let it cook the rest of the year, f*** it

They lost two games by one goal* while missing their best player. Coming off a long layover too. The last two games were pathetic but it’s not like the world has collapsed. Hughes coming back makes all the difference.

*not counting VGK empty netter

Yes and no
Is there enough will being displayed?
 
Liam Ohgren is a player I think the Canucks would be very interested if they traded Boeser to the Wild. He was there target if Lekk wasn't available at 15 and they traded down. Him and Lekk have played together and their games compliment each other quite well. Another guy I would want is Spacek.

Boeser for Ohgren and Spacek.
Boeser is a terrible fit for Minny and they don't care that he is from there. Vanilla Coke isn't a source

Don't want to trade him unless he can get the Tanner Jeannot return from someone

Yes absolutely. Find gems and sell high. That’s how you build a consistent pool of prospects.

Sherwood has crazy value. That’s the one things about playing in a Canadian market. We get so much more exposure as opposed to Americans teams. Sherwood is known league wide now.

Sherwood is a GM wet dream. He should be on the market.

Hell a team like Edmonton would be all over him for the playoffs
 
The wild don't want Boeser! They aren't trading Wallstedt under any circumstamces. Lol in no world is Brodin getting traded or waived. So, with all due respect, Wallstedt also has more value than Boeser. Wild are going after Nelson. lol you might just be baiting though .
It's just canuck fans being delusional...Boeser sucks and is slow but we should trade him for a 1st and a top prospect! Of course Minny needs him as he is from there!
 
Boeser to L.A. for Brandt and their 3rd round pick this year.

Demko on the way to recovery for Edmonton's 2026 1st and St Louis' 2025 2nd.

Pettersson and Suter for Buchnevich and Schenn, but I don't know how to balance this one.

DeBrusk-Schenn-Buchnevic
O'Connor-Chytil-Lekkerimaki
Joshua-Blueger-Garland
Hoglander-Sasson-Sherwood

Hughes-Myers
M Pettersson-Brandt
E Pettersson-Hronek

Lankainen
Silovs

An extra 1st in 2026, and an extra (early) 2nd in 2025, but are still short a 3rd and a 2nd in 2027.

Buch and Schenn are better fits for this team system over Petey, and I could go either way on Blueger instead of Suter if someone feels we're giving up too much. Boeser and Demko have their lines cut, but both get a chance to chase a cup with good teams. Brandt is a bad fit in L.A., but I feel could be a good fit here with either Pettersson.
 
Still need a majority of the core players to be drafted and developed within the organization.

Are Hughes, DPetey, Willander and EP enough of a core to build around?

Not this version of EP. Let’s say DPetey and Willander are absolute studs. We have 3 drafted and developed D players. Amazing but we have zero up front.

Somebody has to go and if EP is dead and Boeser is traded the one who can bring enough back to counterbalance the heavy D is Hughes
I don't have faith in management acquiring additional picks for the purpose of drafting.

I'm not talking about building our team through FA. The team should really be listening to offers on anyone not named Hughes. Picks, prospects, young players with real upside.

Whoever gives up 3 x 1sts is going to be a contending team. It's not going to be a bunch of top 5 picks. You may be prepared to accept our team as a bottom feeder for the next 5+ years. I know ownership isn't.

Looks like a good 80 pt lineup.

You make a lot of very good points. It’s becoming a complicated situation either way. Thank you for your post.
 
Is it measurable? Do the two games nullify the good run of play before? Does it actually matter?
I think it has to matter Somewhat when you're trying to make decisions as to what to do this year. I mean how valuable is it to believe you can be aggressive when the team is literally night and day based on one player.

I'm definitely not saying just Sell everything off and say screw it, But this is sure hindering my decision to be engaged in adding especially since there isn't too much out there At least in my opinion

I don’t think LA even entertains BB6 for Clarke.

We were fine for what five games without said one player before the break. This is two tough fought games that were one goal games. I would not make snap judgements based on two games

Reaction from some posters was pretty warm. Their read is that Brandt isn't going to get any time under Hillier and Blake, and Boeser is a scorer that isn't atrocious defensively and can at least initiate contact, and L.A.'s game isn't built solely around speed.
