Management Thread | Regular Season Edition

Oil fan coming in peace.

I recall hearing several times that Vancouver wants a center and a defenseman for either petterson or Miller, but with rumors of demko and boeser being on the trade block, I can't visualize how that results in retooling. That looks like full rebuild fire sale to me.

Management's trade record isn't good when it comes to big names. They have tried to trade Miller twice, deadline and off season, he's still here. Boeser twice, he's still here. Garland twice, he's still here. They ended up re-signing two of those and had to trade Horvat.

They might float a bunch of trade names but I doubt they move them all.

If he’s going to the Rangers then it HAS to be for Laf & Schneider.

It’s the only trade that makes sense for us.

We get a responsible 65 point centre to play behind Pettersson and a Defensive 25 point defender.

Schneider is the key though, we need him to pair with Hughes and kick Hronek down to run the 2nd pairing.

We then have the capital in Boeser, picks & prospects to pull off another trade or trades to hopefully solidify this team and get them going for the playoffs.

I think maybe they should think more if they do trade 7yr vet Pettersson as well.
With Miller they could go K'Andre Miller, Chytil and a pick.
That would be hard to declare a winner since the Canucks get a young defenceman and center.

I hope there is real thought put into a re-tooling, rebuild on the fly.
Boeser will get a veteran center Gaudreau) and Jiricek, they may have to add a late pick.
Pettersson to Carolina could get Necas, Roslovic and Morrow with maybe picks exchanged or Hoglander added in.
Demko maybe to Buffalo for ? a pick. His injury past haunts his value but the team could get valuable cap space.

Except for Tony Gallagher. Skeletor was always the management mouthpiece during this era.

Weird how a guy who did his job was respected. Never understood why folks more or less drank the Burkie Kool Aid on Gallagher.

If they can't find a good return, I'd rather they keep the player. So on that front I do give them credit.

The only reason to force a deal is if you know you will lose the player for nothing.

So in the case of Boeser, if they have no interest in re-signing him at the price he's asking and they believe he will not come down, then I have no problem with them trading him at the deadline even if the return isn't amazing.

That being said, they should be able to get a good return as I'd imagine a number of teams will be interested.
