Proposal: Leafs - Canucks 3 for 3 block buster

[Man Bear Pig]

Dear lord no. This is atrocious for the Canucks. We give up 2 top 4 dmen and a local boy who was recently a 6 overall pick for a #4-5 dman, a very good prospect (or two) and a pick.

Awful. Simply Awful for Vancouver.

It's hard to be more wrong in less words.

 

[HowSweeeedeItIs]

Lots of complaints from both fan bases, but I think value is fair. Definitely not his worst proposal, even if that doesn't say much.

 

[leaflover]

Tis the season to see what we have at this point. Wholesale changes before 10 seconds has passed to assess the current state of the team is nonsense.
Patience running out so soon?

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Change Nylander to Kapanen.

Then change Tanev to sbisa

 

[AuraSphere]

I'd do this for Toronto's side, easy fix for our D lol

 

[gianni]

The Canucks value/see Chris Tanev as a top end/very good #2 RHD-man (that's just entering his prime);
Ben Hutton is penciled in as the #3D after his rookie season, and there's still some untapped potential there;
Jake Virtanen has the upside to be an impact power forward like Chris Kreider.

D-men & power forwards cost a premium: no way the Canucks package those 3 players unless a young & established star is coming back.

 

[LV*]

no way

 

[Donuts]

Change tanev to sbisa and van keep hutton, toronto can keep gardiner.

Nylander, + high pick for sbisa and virtanen

 

[WonderTwinsUnite]

Removing Tanev and Hutton eviscetates our already mediocre d-core. No way

 

[LV*]

Change tanev to sbisa and van keep hutton, toronto can keep gardiner.

Nylander, + high pick for sbisa and virtanen

Nylander >>>> Virtanen + Sbisa tho

[Gaunce4gm]

As a Canucks fan I'd say no.

HOWEVER, I thought about it for a long time.

It is very very close.

One of the best proposals on HF

 

[Scholarships]

Not terrible valuewise. The trade would leave us with an abysmal defence though.

Edler-Gudbranson
Gardiner-Tryamkin
Sbisa-Larsen

 

[TNCHL]

Toronto says no, Tanev is overrated

 

[7even]

Im Gardiner's biggest fan and I have no problem with people saying Tanev > Gardiner..

Its the people that say Tanev >>> Gardiner that are high though.

Agreed. Tanev > Gardiner sure whatever, call it preference. But it's not >>>. Gardiner has been criminally underrated for going on 2 years it feels. Guy has turned it around big time.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Not a bad proposal, but as a Canucks fan I wouldn't pull the trigger. I can see why Leafs fans would decline as well, since Nylander is apparently a perennial top-flight NHLer and Virtanen is a confirmed bust before his 20th birthday.

Best advice is to ignore the extremists, pro and con, and discuss topics with the sensible posters, otherwise no topic is worth anyone's time.

I'm confident Virtanen will have a fine career. The negative is, young guys who play the type of game Jake does take a little longer to become an impact player. The positive is, when they reach their potential it was well worth the wait.

 

[Hopeless Unbeliever]

I actually think this is a good proposal in terms of value. It doesn't address needs too much though and is more or less a like-for-like switch. On that basis, giving up the best player in the deal is always going to be critical and here that's Tanev. On that basis I'd pass as a Canucks fan.

 

[Maukkis]

Value seems fine, but Vancouver should not in any case trade Tanev. Trading a top 30 defenseman is not something they can afford to do. Same goes for Toronto; there's no shipping out Nylander given their rebuild.

There's no fit between these two teams, I suppose.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Ahhahahah noo

if hutton was a RHD this deal is ok.

*looks at the OP, doesn't see Matthews, Juolevi, etc.*
*looks at the title, sees the word 'blockbuster' *
*looks 'blockbuster' up in the dictionary, just in case I've fallen into an alternate universe with different meanings of words*
*sees that it still means what I thought it meant*
*gets confused*

(this is not a blockbuster)

This so much, lol

When 3 top 4 D and 2 top ten drafted prospects are involved that trade is probably a blockbuster.
