Speculation: Shakeup Trade Coming in Vancouver?

[lawrence]

The Canucks are prime for one. Jim Rutherford has shown not to be afraid of the Winter player for player deal. Notables going back 10 years:

Kaberle for Spacek
Gleason for Liles
Scuderi for Daley
Perron for Hagelin
Hagelin for Pearson
Pearson for Gudbranson

he did say he wants to build for the future. Not sure if he's interested in lateral moves right now plus he's just the intern.

JR will make 7-8 roster player trades within the next 5 months.

We dont really need a shake up we need a restructure of our cap to forcus more on D then Forwards and that is done by trading one of Miller/Boeser for a proven young Top 4 RH D and possible a rh 3c who can kill penalties as well.

Ideally that is done with moving Hamonic/Poolman but its more likely it will be Boeser/Miller as they have a lot more value and will get multiple cost effective pieces back

OEL please

He’s been our 2nd best defensman…

Doesn’t say much.

That contract is horrendous

He’s been great..obviously not worth his contract but not like we need cap room if we’re rebuilding/retooling

Yikes. If there's anything to be learned from the Canucks under Jimbo, cap room is ALWAYS important during a rebuild/retool...

Trading our 2nd best defensman to do it is not the solution. Cap room is important when you’re signing depth garbage like Beagle, Rousell, Sutter, Poolman, etc

Something around Miller for Konecny.

Provorov more likely.

 

[Get North]

feel free to start small -
former WHL sniper Jake Elmer from NYR for Zlodeyev
or
ECAC(RPI) D Kjellberg from NYR for ECAC(Cornell) C/RW Malone

Deal.

moot point since no one will want that contract.

we will have to co exist with him and he’s been one of our best players actually.
