Vancouver will have the cap space to re-sign him too if he wants to stay. Otherwise that's a ton to give up for a rental. That kid Hunter has tremendous upside.
 
Imagine what Zibanejad would fetch on the trade market?

You could get two 1sts, and a couple top prospects plus cap space.

He’d have to waive, but…. That would be the smartest thing we could do. It’s not like he’s playing like a 1C anyway. Trocheck is our 1C for all intents and purposes.

Get a massive asset haul and then flip something for Zegras and we are frankly no worse off.
 
A first is a standard rental price for the top player of the deadline, the 4th is whatever. Two prospects to get 5.5 million off the cap next year for a guy they didn’t want anymore.
 
Lindholm to VAN

It's becoming closer & closer to reality

Zegras looks like he has a crew cut compared to Mika

Canucks had to pay the tax too when it comes to dealing with the Flames. It may not be as much as say Edmonton, but there is definitely something extra when teams like that make a major deal.

I would be all in on Trocheck and Zegras as our 1 and 2 centers.

You kind of forget Kuzmenko is 27 and having a horrible year after setting the world on fire as a 26 year old rookie last year.

The dman Hunter whatever is a 3rd rounder lighting the ohl on fire so hardly matters much id equate that to let’s say a zac jones back in the day.

Take the sticker shock off and it’s not as bad as originally looked at. It’s bad if Kuzmenko turns back into a star away from Tocchet but he’s no 22 year old like kakko
 
What they will do and what they should do are two different things.

No team that is at the top of their division is going to sell. This is complaining for the sake of complaining.

I mean if we're going to be realistic, they have 15 games until the deadline? If they go 11-4 they're going to probably gain ground on someone and then they SHOULD add.

IF they go 4-11? Yeah, burn this f***er down.

This team is certifiably insane to pay these rental prices. It should SELL if prices are that high. Punt on this year. It can be back in this spot given it’s cap space in 2 seasons.

Don’t be morons.

They will be though…. Because Drury is an idiot and is trying to save his job, pressured by the biggest idiot of them all, the owner.
Just because one team did do that doesn't mean anyone else will.

We're not far removed from the entire league not being able to beat Blais and a 2nd for Buchnevich with a full year of control despite like 4 months of advertising.

I also tend to think Kuzmenko was a negative asset in the grand scheme of that Lindholm trade. Value is a lot closer in that case.

If they go 11-4 then they should perhaps do the same wise renting I say they should do every year… seconds, thirds, B level prospects maybe. Reinforce some weak spots. If you need to go top 6 hunting for huge prices then you aren’t good enough and you are just throwing away assets.

If they go 11-4 in their next 15 then that means the top line is working and no need to move Kakko for a big fish.
