[Agent007]

There’s been talk of Canucks being interested in Josh Norris but would something around petey and Brady Tkachuk being added make sense? Doubt Ottawa wants to move their captain but that would definitely be interesting…

 

[Szechwan]

How about an extended Boeser + for Dobson. I would not want to trade EP40 for him, that position is just not priority to me with Willander on the way. He'll get almost no PP time so what's the point.

 

[David71]

I don't know why everyone thinks Dobson isn't a fit. That right side has been an absolute nightmare even with Hronek and even if Myers keeps up not playing like a crazy person they should be trying to insulate his minutes.

EP40 has been fine defensively this year but is pretty much a ghost on offense and it feels to me like the team has decided they need to get much faster up front (thus Chytil and O'Conner).

I could see them moving out Willander and EP40 as part of a deal for Barzal and Dobson. Canucks re-sign Dobson for 8 years, $7.5 mil.

The difference between Dobson re-signed around $7 mil per + Barzal at $9 mil vs EP40 and anyone else in that 2nd pair d-spot is gonna be insignificant, a couple of mil.

Top 4 D locked up for a few years (until Hughes) at $28 mil which is great for where the cap is going.
Myers makes it $31 mil and then you've got the EPs and Mancinis of the team.

If you keep Lankinen around $3.5 mil with Demko around $5.5 thats $9.

Assuming Brock is also moved or leaves and the Canucks focused on speed, re-sign Suter and O'Conner around that $2.5/$ mil range each that would leave them at about $40 mil in forwards spent with 2 main spots to fill, both in that top 6 forward area to replace a Boeser and add to the offense. Assuming Lekarrimaki can take Boeser's spot, you just need one guy and you'd have over $7 mil to add them (much more after 2025/26).

dont need to resign suter he could be let go as ufa. and find someone younger to play the c position.

 

[wonton15]

Andrei Svechnikov for Brock Boeser?

 

[me2]

Wait till I steal your heart

I have a terrible feeling it’s a signed Sam Bennett. Dobson to the Cats. Sam B signed to us.

That’s truculence. Cats don’t sign Ekblad.

Mods don't have hearts. They are robotic murder machines designed to enforce the law without mercy.

And now he's coming for you.

Team would look something like:

XXX - Barzal- Lekkerimaki
Debrusk - Chytil - Garland
Joshua - Suter - Sherwood
O'Conner - Blueger - Aman/whoever

Hughes - Dobson
M Pettersson - Hronek
E Petterson - Myers
Mynio/Mancini etc

Demko/Lankinen

Not a chance you get Dobson at 7.5, even if he's having a down year.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

He has RFA years. All the reports out was that Dobson was expected to be in the $8-$9 mil per range coming into this year but do to a worse year his price is expected to be in the $7-$8.5 mil per range.

 

[arttk]

Maybe nothing who knows?

Maybe because he sucks?

 

[VanJack]

Boston is currently outside the playoff bar in the East. If they continue to fade, could they be sellers at the TDL?

If so, I'm wondering if the Canucks might take a run at reacquiring Zadorov? He's probably been a bit of a disappointment in Beantown. But his contract of $5m a season is exactly what the Canucks were willing to pay him last summer.

I guess the downside is that even after the current season, he still has five years left on his deal. But again, the Canucks were offering close to that, last summer.

And if the Canucks were to shed the contracts of Soucy and maybe Forbort at the TDL, the cap-hit would basically be a wash. I'd love to see 'Big Z' back in Vancouver.

A month ago I'd be interested. But with the signing of M Petey (who's miles better) and the emergence of D Petey (who seems to be as tough as Zaddy) I think that ship has sailed. And frankly I'm glad it did.

No.

It’s an injury..not trade related.

 

[StreetHawk]

Dobson has 1 rfa year left. He was 19 when he was on the isles roster in 19/20. Played under 40 games but the cba clause is for accruing a season is being on the roster for over half the season which he was. He’d basically be like Hronek last summer. A year out of ufa.

I can see a NYI deal with Petey and Barzal as the main pieces. Not sure what Van would need to include to add Dobson in. And Dobson is the isles best point getter by a large margin from the D. Would have no one to offset his production.

Non-starter with Z's contract. Hughes/MP3 are locked on the left side in the top 4 and even without Forbort/Soucy we'd still have EPD who should absolutely be with us full-time by next season and could keep impressing through April. On the flip side you may have desperate teams who will be willing to overpay to plug a long-term hole in their lineup if the Bruins do decide to sell, so the price will never be right for us.

If we make an add to the blueline at the deadline it would be for an RHD that can be swapped around with Myers.

[Szechwan]

A shifty perimeter player in Barzal doesn't strike me as much of an upgrade on Petey, especially if your goal is icing a contender. I don't see it.

 

[WTG]

Barzal is a talented player but he just doesn't have that IQ to be a centre in the league. I'd rather trade EP for Dobson and get a mega d-core and just sell all the farm for McTavish (or someone equivalent) and say f*** it.

How many teams are going to struggle vs a d-core consisting of

Hughes - Hronek
M. Pettersson - Dobson
E. Pettersson - Myers

That's 4 top pairing defenseman IMO. That would be nuts.

 

[Peen]

No.

Cannot believe there are still suggestions to bring him back after the M Petey trade & play from D Petey

 

[604]

Pettersson + Soucy for Horvat/Barzal and Dobson.

Flip Dobson to STL for Kyrou in the summer.

 

[VanJack]

No.

Well, Soucy is on the books for another year at $3.25m. It would cost you exactly $1.75m more a season for Zadorov next season.

And with the cap going up dramatically, $5m a season for Zadorov would be more than manageable. Seems pretty logical to me.

The forward group is really bad though, opposite problem than the start of the season. Pettersson + Willander for Barzal + Dobson would be more interesting.

 

[Hansen]

I feel like less of an idiot for bringing up Pettersson + for Barzal + Dobson yesterday now lol

Or you take the 3.25mil from soucy and use it towards the top six.
Seems more logical

 

[Szechwan]

Remember 5 days ago when everyone was saying now that Miller was gone they want things to just quiet down and give Petey a runway to figure things out

Either this is all junk reporting, or this is the most fickle management group in hockey history
