Im going by in an hour or so, ill stop traffic to checker out

 

[wonton15]

This is just speculation but I think they were very recently removing the Miller related ones and they might just be in the process of moving existing ones and putting up completely new ones

Traffic is always backed on the dunsmuir viaduct lil guy.

 

[RobsonStreet]

The common denominator is that the good teams were able to execute high-surplus value transactions - AKA their GMs weren't dumb. This is perfectly consistent with what I said about BUF having dumb dumb GMs.

Agreed, sorry if it came across like I was debating you on that point. Where I’m going is this: if smart GMs behave as if the rebuild as a dumb strategy, maybe there’s a reason.

We need our scouts to pull off something like this era defining trade.

2. Geoff Courtnall, Robert Dirk, Sergio Momesso, Cliff Ronning, & 5th (#110, Brian Loney) for Garth Butcher & Dan Quinn – 1991 Trade Deadline

Fun fact, I actually had that trade #1 in my 1st draft but switched to Naslund later.

 

[PavelBure10]

I don't know why I Always get psyched up for the trade deadline. You almost Always set yourself up for disappointment.

I think this article is a good reminder that many of our core players over the years have come from deadline deals where the player we acquired was a somewhat distressed asset by the time they came to us: Naslund, Morrison, Markstrom, even Hronek was at a pretty low ebb.

If they do trade Boeser and the return isn't a 1st round pick or high-grade prospect—keep that in mind. How you feel about the return today might feel very different in years to come.

I would take the Morrison trade over Halward

We got 6-7yrs of a B #1C for a player who played 1 1/4 seasons in NJ and left in free agency. I'm sure they were fine with it too given how they won the Cup with Mogilny but it's not like his 13pts in 35 games drove the bus.

Acquiring the C to one of the most famous Canuck lines of all time was a huge deal.

My memorable trade deadline deals:
Getting Bryan Smolinski for a 2007 2nd Rounder
Getting Eric Weinrich for Tomas Mojziis and a 2006 3rd rounder
Getting Mika Noronen for a 2006 2nd rounder

[Quinning]

Suter has the most value out of those three, but he's also the hardest to replace. 2nd and a B prospect.

Forbort and Soucy are worth 3rd or 4th rounders each. Although in a seller's market, we may get an overpay.

I just remember Smolinski scoring that empty netter in Game 7 vs the Stars and grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

Noronen was a nothing burger.

I have specifically repressed all memory of Weinrich ever having played here because of how truly f***ing awful he played. That piss yellow visor still haunts my nightmares.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Good. As they should.

 

[PavelBure10]

So excited to keep Boeser as a rental for the playoffs that we may not even make. Exciting times.

It’s a bit weird to move him while you’re talking about keeping Boeser as an own rental to make the playoffs. Given relative levels of play and position, Suter is arguably more important to their immediate playoff push today than Boeser.

 

[Quinning]

I doubt they'll do that if they're moving the three aforementioned players. Losing Suter is a big blow to our centre depth and essentially means they are giving up on the run.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Not necessarily. If they trade these guys then I fully expect them to quickly flip any returning assets on a 23-25 year old player like Josh Norris.

 

[thecupismine]

I can understand moving one of Forbort or Soucy to keep room open for D Petey, but moving both seems suspect given their current depth.

After losing Miller I agree with you. Lekkerimaki is more likely to replace Boeser's current production than Raty is to replace Suter's overall game.

I can understand moving one of Forbort or Soucy to keep room open for D Petey, but moving both seems suspect given their current depth.

Willander is coming shortly.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

If you move Suter, I assume they would be looking for a C replacement elsewhere.

I'd still want Hayton or an equivalent to.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Agreed. I like D-Petey a lot, but depth is still key. Forbort seems like a respected veteran, too, and we could use some voices like that in the room.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

My hunch as of right now - Suter is moved for a 2nd/3rd, and the Canucks parlay those assets into a deal for Boston's Pavel Zacha. Zacha is signed for 3 more years at $4.75M per, so fits the defintion of not a rental, the Canucks have been linked to him in the past, and the Canucks have had scouts at the Bruins' games lately.

Was there any of them with just boeser tho? I doubt they would take any team ones down until the summer

 

[wonton15]

Tampa’s going for it again
