i think they'd rather keep boeser vs trading him to a competitor in the west.

maybe to the avs, since we're very unlikely to encounter them in the playoffs.

but agreed that a liquid asset package *and* a subsequent trade to add a young roster player probably isn't materializing in the way they want, so maybe they do just settle for a straight across trade for a less than ideal asset

The Canucks would play the Avs in round 2 if the Canucks finish WC2, and both teams win, not impossible.

Pretty crazy late night trades.

On the bright side this makes the Oilers path for coming out of the west that much more difficult.

Yeahhh they're sunk, but playoffs this year are going to be crazy.
Both wildcard races are going to be great to watch unfold first.

I think if acquired, the Canucks would use Mittlestadt to get Norris.

Yurov and Ohgren are nice names from MIN, but I think VAN would prioritize a more established player in return. A hockey trade.

I could see that, I'd be okay with either. Like Norris ceiling way more, but way more huge risk and on top of heads down chytil, I would be hella nervous.

We have a ton of cap space to work with so ya...

A mess doesn't have a good to great goalie tandem, defense and bottom 6.

14M and only 2 spots to fill.

thats expensive

 

[supercanuck]

Oof! I know it's a seller's market but 33 year old Brock Nelson @ 6M got a much better prospect than a 28 year old Bo Horvat @ 5.5M, and definitely more than the rumored NYR package for 2 years of JT @ 5.25M.

Teams like Vegas and Jets yet to make moves. I would hate it but Boeser would score 40 with Eichel…

Looking at the prices would we have gotten more in the JT Miller trade if we had moved him now. I think Boeser trade is close.

 

[arttk]

Stankoven for Rantanen?

Miller effectively Kesler'd us. It was never going to be a good deal.

We should never have lost him and we should have traded our 1st for Marcus Pettersson and DOC earlier in the season. We would probably be looking at a playoff run right now

 

[VanJack]

I see the latest rumor has Rantanen turning down a potential deal with the Kings--which I guess he has the right to do.

Regardless of how it goes with Rantanen, the 'Canes GM needs to visit a shrink in the off-season to answer one question "Why did I do it"?

Expending valuable assets to acquire a guy who so far has given zero indication he wants to re-sign in Carolina, was dumb from the get-go. Apparently in Colorado, the indication was that he'd be wanting somewhere around $14m with term to re-sign with the team. The Av's and Joe Sacic said 'no thanks'.

It'll be a disaster for the 'Canes if he doesn't get traded or re-signed by noon tomorrow, and he walks in the off-season for nothing.

He only wanted to go east

More specifically, back to NY

 

[Coffee]

Magic fills the air more than usual tonight. Main boards, Canucks boards all active late at night.

Feels like a classic HF night

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

This is good for us. I didnt really like any of the pieces Carolina could send us for Petey anyways.

Now maybe theres a package to work with and they get a "superstar" who is locked up.

He’s not going anywhere

Getting Yurov from Minny would be incredible.

Good. They deserve bad things. Unless they are playing other teams I like less.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

That’s a fantastic haul for the Isles.

 

[Grub]

Kiss me.

And smile for me.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Dallas and Florida are both states with low/no income tax, am I correct? Probably a big factor in why Rantanen would be fine to sign an extension there.
