Drury: We’ll give you a cap dump similar to OEL who can’t play at ES for your 100 point power forward who matched up with McDavid last playoffs.

Alvin: ??????????

yeah Drury is like leaking shit left and right. Not sure why he thinks that would be effective.

Wait, why is ep at 25 included in the lsit? I thought this was a list of what he wants. from other teams

It's his list of players both, potentially, available, and how likely he thinks they'll be traded. Pettersson is so low because nobody actually expects him to be traded right now. You'd have to go back a while to find a trade of this caliber a player mid season.

 

[xtr3m]

According to him, Miller is even less likely to be traded?

 

[ProviesGhost]

it is pretty clear this management group uses "we're going to trade you" as a cudgel.... that might get old, and they'll have to actually do it LOL if they want the treat to carry the same weight

He’s trolling.

 

[wonton15]

Miller probably got angry after meeting with his agent yesterday which is why he went nuclear with 4 points. Allvin masterclass.

 

[Ernie]

Not exactly throwing cold water on things.

Given the noise, I'd be surprised if the agents weren't meeting with the parties involved. Best case scenario would be some kind of accommodation that would avoid both players being traded.

Rutherford is 75 years old and has been doing it for like his entire career. I don't see him changing much now.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Bored so was thinking value wise if we were to move EP one for one who would be a match? Started thinking Stars need scoring and are pretty stacked on D would they consider Miro Heiskanen for EP? Sure we'd be pretty weak upfront but having these four to start next year be a hell of an improvement on D.

Hughes Hronek
Heiskanen Willander

Pardon? It's Seravalli's trade board.

Joe Thornton perhaps?

We'd be on the Boston side of that trade.

Seravalli has been pretty effusive on podcasts that he doesn't think either is getting traded, at least during the season. He placed Pettersson above Miller, in this case, because Miller has a full NMC and Pettersson has no trade protection.

I actually have an article on this coming out soon. I didn't include Joe Thornton, as @Ernie, points out even though he's pretty much the best comparison. 20 years is a little too long to be useful.

They already did it with Horvat, so..

I assume you are excluding rentals?

Rentals would not be comparables.

Ducks shopping Dumoulin

 

[credulous]

i've only seen a couple games from him this year but dumoulin was unplayable last year in seattle. i don't think he's any better than forbort/desharnais/juulsen/soucy

 

[Delocatedfan]

Dobson would be a dream pickup from NYI but surely Lou isn't that stupid

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Ducks shopping Dumoulin

Been on the acquire Dumoulin train for awhile.

Makes sense for alot of reasons: pending UFA, fairly low cap hit, still only 33, Pens connection, ability to play Top 4 minutes.

Acquisition cost should be lower than others as well.

 

[VanJack]

I know there's a lot of 'noise and static' out there on the trade front involving Miller and Pettersson......but trading either one of those two contracts is all but impossible in mid-season.

I mean obviously the only teams who'd be in on those two guys are teams that have serious playoff aspirations. I doubt either guy is going to waive their NTC to go to an NHL bottom-feeder in full rebuild mode.

So that limits the trading partners to teams that are already 'capped out', and would have to find a way to dump some unfriendly contracts on the Canucks, in order to get anything done.

All of which is a long-winded way of saying that Miller and Pettersson will probably still be Canucks by mid-March.

We did eventually get Marco Sturm.

I must have missed this. Vector you a sports "journalist?"

I've started writing for CanucksArmy. My CanucksNewsSummaries twitter account took off and they brought me on as a contributor.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

No interest in Byram.

Jack Quinn and K'Andre Miller are the two most interesting names to me in that list.

I disagree because K’Andre Miller cannot drive a pair on his own and he would need to play with Hronek. Byram works in the short term and the long term because he can drive his own pair. He also, just fits the Canucks need me better, creates offence at 5 on 5 and can move the puck quite well.
