pass from Van

Why is Nashville involved?

Van says no

I'd tend to think Vancouver would rather have Cozens — you know someone who might at least help them now — than a grab bag of Nashville futures.

James Reimer? Umm, why?

Why is Nashville involved?

I think Nashville was pretty heavily rumored to be looking at Cozens in that timeframe around xmas. They've wanted a center for a long time. Although surprisingly, switching Stamkos to center seems to have worked out better than anticipated.

Management seems to love Molendyk, though, so I'm not sure they'd be likely to include him in a deal like this one. They'd probably move a different prospect or the TB or VGK 1st rounders before they'd move Molendyk.

But if you were talking 1st(TB/VGK)+2nd+Del Gaizo for Cozens, that's probably doable from the Nashville POV?

Terrible for Vancouver

Is Allvin now senile?

Missing the reference.

That's just awful for Vancouver. They've pretty clearly stated/implied that if they're moving one of their feuding Cs.....they want actual, legit NHL players. Like of the PMD and/or 2/3C variety.

Instead the best NHL player going to Vancouver is.....................Reimer? Del Gaizo?

Matt Duchene/Kyle Turris? Yea, I have no idea lol.

Negative. Buffalo isn't trading Cozens for futures.

 

[Gurglesons]

Matt Duchene? Yea, I have no idea lol.

It's the Duchene trade redux!

 

[Soundgarden]

Take out Molendyk add Vegas or Tampa's 1st

 

[glenngineer]

I’m laughing way too hard. Molendyk isn’t going anywhere.

You're getting Pettersson, remember?

 

[LemonSauceD]

Terrible for the Canucks

 

[Mattilaus]

Bad for Vancouver. As a Sabres fan I take this and run.

Hard pass from Nashville. We aren't trading Molendyk.

They would also have to be super high on both prospects coming back and that's iffy at this point to what they become in the NHL and they aren't trading EP40 for that quantity over better quality they could get elsewhere.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Molendyk + MDG + a 2nd for Cozens? Yeah, Nashville passes easily.

I honestly don't get the Cozens hype. It's been a season and a half since, and this season looks like a pretty big decline.

i'm confused
Why does Vancouver give up the best player in the deal, and not get back an asset that satisfies their No.1 need. They need a top four Dman, but instead they get a 1st, and draft picks.
legit question, what was the OP thinking?
