Colorado-Vancouver: Duchene, Landeskog, and Barrie to the Canucks (NHL 17 worthy)

This subject and topic is deliberately on the obnoxious side, but I'll try and explain my thought process here (and yes, I realize that the only way this happens is on NHL 17' :)).

I'm not sure what Colorado's plans are, but if they look like they'll be on the outside looking in again in a few months, they'll risk having missed the playoffs for 3 straight seasons despite their promising young core.

If the above scenario plays out, perhaps embracing a 'Toronto-style' rebuild might be the path they choose? (i.e. everyone is subject to trade outside of MacKinnon and Zadorov?).

On the flip side in Vancouver, although the management group talks about getting gradually younger, they seem to value 'young players' within that 22-26 range that can help them be competitive in the here and now. A part of that might be pressure from ownership. Another part of it might be from understanding the Vancouver market (i.e. unlike their 'Canadian cousins' Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, the city of Vancouver will not tolerate a true rebuild due to risks involved of being irrelevant for years and years).

Long story short:

-If Colorado embraces a 'Toronto style' rebuild later this season, they might make great trading partners with Vancouver:

To Vancouver:
-Matt Duchene
-Tyson Barrie
-Gabriel Landeskog
(possible addition of Zadorov if Canucks package below is too much?).

To Colorado
-Bo Horvat (I go back to being Connor McHindu)
-Chris Tanev
-Anton Rodin
-2017 1st
-Brock Boeser
-Olli Juolevi

The Canucks can add some salary somehow so that they can accommodate the incoming salaries.

New lines for Vancouver:

Landeskog-Duchene-Eriksson
Sedin-Sedin-Hansen
Baertschi-Sutter-Burrows
Granlund-Gaunce-Dorsett

Edler-Barrie
Hutton-Gudbranson
Sbisa-Stetcher

Markstrom
Miller

New lines for Colorado = I don't care.

Colorado embraces a Toronto style rebuild while Vancouver fields a young time while competing in the "here and now."

Get real, First of adding Duchene, Landeskog and Barrie you're taking on $18 million in salary. Both Horvat and Rodin makes less then $1 million and Tanev is like $4.5 million per Vancouver doesn't have the cap space to make this kind of deal and beside the pieces that you're offering here wouldn't net you Duchene and Landeskog and including Barrie is even crazier.

Yikes.

Not near enough for Colorado

Add Demko.

So,

-Horvat
-Tanev
-Rodin
-2017 1st
-Boeser
-Juolevi
-Demko

The Canucks new core consisting of Markstrom, Duchene, Landeskog, Barrie, Gudbranson, and the extended twins in lesser roles, can 'keep the Canucks' as a playoff calibre team for 3-5 more years, while the Canucks rebuild their farm (something that the Gillis regime failed to do).

Lock this joke up. I like the suggestion of adding Zadorov in case it's not enough from Colorado :laugh:

Dude please stop? You've less then $1 million in cap space, You're taking on about $18 million in salary with Landeskog, Duchene and Barrie. Other then Tanev who makes $4.5 million per all of these other guys make less then $1 million so how are you going to fit those 3 players under the cap without sending more expensive players their way like one of the Sedins at least this is a pretty sad offer to Colorado for those 3 and Sakic would laugh at Benning and tell him never to call him again.

I'm all for trading for, like, one of those guys, given their age and ceilings and impressive resumes. How ever we dont have the pieces to pursue three high end pieces, and we would cripple any depth we have for what....to break even and finish with 80 points this year?

That's not even getting into why Colorado doesn't do anything of the sort...

I'd take that package for Duchene and our 1st...

Adding Landeskog and Barrie to that? Absolutely not. That you even think that that's too much from Vancouver and that Zadorov might need to be added..

So you get our #1 C, our #1 LW, and a 50 point top 4 defenseman and think the Avs may need to add a young top pairing defenseman with #1 potential...holy crap.

and then suggesting

(possible addition of Zadorov if Canucks package below is too much?)

Is just beyond ridiculous.

Also, that package above (excluding Zadorov) would return FAR more than

To Colorado
-Bo Horvat (I go back to being Connor McHindu)
-Chris Tanev
-Anton Rodin
-2017 1st
-Brock Boeser
-Olli Juolevi

Even if you place Duchene and Tanev as equal value, that leaves:

For argument's sake
Horvat + Juolevi + 1st = Landeskog (it'd require more, but again, argument's sake)

Boeser + Rodin most certainly does not return you Barrie.

That you think Zadorov MIGHT need to be added to that to even it out is just lunacy.
