Trade Deadline Thread: Chaos Simmering

[Jovofan]

I wish they would put Guentzel on the back burner at this point and shift focus towards adding whatever depth pieces they deem necessary. Circle back to Guentzel tomorrow if he's still available, enough of this waiting game BS.

 

[arttk]

Now they want to get sentimental?

Unless you absolutely think he can turn it around, they need to move him.

Otherwise you might as well just write off the teams chances in the postseason.

should assume anything Rick reports is from agent. this management group don't leak shit

 

[Donuts]

Theres still time. Dubas gonna give in.
Or its buch/toffoli + greenway or similar type of player

 

[oceanchild]

It's funny how Lindholm is viewed here right now.

Guy is still an excellent player finding his way with a new team

I agree

Yeah, these insiders haven’t had any inside source for a while

 

[sting101]

I wouldn't say excellent. He has clearly been a pro-scouting error, but one that is understandable given the larger context of why he was brought in (insurance).

I'm fine with him at 3C if all else fails. At 2RW, I think that's why Kessel is still here. All told though, with as much noise around him right now, I think he gets dealt.

i disagree. Nothing is clear it's been how long?

Horvat had a respectable 5-3 8pts in 10 games with NYI last year when brought in then went 1-2 3pts in his next 15 games. He had the luxury of Barzal and PP1 bumper force fed.

Lindholm joins on a marathon travel schedule and has bounced over 3 lines and a few different spots on the PP.

Claiming we made a mistake is being over the top. Were still in the process of getting value back

The plot thickens...

If you widen the lens, it is pretty wild to put him on the trade block 13 games after acquisition. It's a tough call. I think Rutherford will be fighting his instinct here.

With so much noise around Lindholm, I'm not sure how he will block it all out. His name is out there.

 

[vancityluongo]

guentzel is only interesting if the price is low

hog + lekk is insanity. dubas won't get anything remotely close to that

I hate Joe Sakic.

I just don't understand a lot of the comments on here. Geuntzel could be another Lindholm for us. Every one is looking at the trades that have been made, and act like those teams have added Crosby to their team. I haven't seen one player moved that I think definitively changes the nature of a team.

As I have repeatedly said, don't trade our top 5 assets unless it for a clear win.

I wouldn't trade Hoglander straight up for Guentzel. Another year at a great contract vs a rental that we can't afford to re-sign? And we gain what?

I think we lost in the Lindholm trade, and if we deal him now we will lose even more.


there might be trades yet to be made that will help us, but FFS we are fighting for 1st OA, we are having a great year. I trust this management team to make smart decisions, not to pander to the trade hungry fan.

Avalanche literally just signed Hanzel to an ELC. They also went after both of the bottom-6 grinders I wanted.

 

[Szechwan]

If they're going to move Lindholm, use the assets for Toffoli and Kovacevic and/or Carrier imo.

Guentzel would be nice but not foe the young assets they want

Hoglander is exactly the player type you want in your depth during the post season.

 

[Nuckles]

Here's a few names that may be available and haven't talked much about here.

Jake Middleton - LD - 2y/2.45m
Mario Ferraro - LD - 3y/3.25m
Jonathan Kovacevic - RD - 2y/0.77m
Alexander Barabanov - W - 1y/2.5m (10-NTC)
Yakov Trenin - LW/C - 1y/1.7m
Cole Smith - W - 1y/0.775m
Alexandre Carrier - RD - 1y/2.5m
Colin Miller - RD - 1y/1.85m
Cal Clutterbuck - RW - 1y/1.75m
Mathieu Joseph - W - 3y/2.95m

I don't think Carrier is a realistic target for the Canucks based on this



Nashville is 8-1-1 in their last 10 games and in a wildcard spot, I doubt they move him for cheap and it sounds like the Canucks are focused on using their remaining trade assets for a forward.

 

[PG Canuck]

Lol Avs are insane

 

[Angry Little Elf]

How is Colorado doing this

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Avs are going for it

 

[Nucker101]

Sakic goated

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

How is Colorado doing this

Everyone they added are on cheap cap hit

 

[wonton15]

Duhaime and Trenin acquired by Colorado. Got much heavier

Feels to me they know Landeskog is good to go for the playoffs and they’re beefing up for another run

They just traded Trenin so...

I hate Joe Sakic.

should've given him that f***ing bbq for free smh

 

[Petey O]

Unreal. I really hope the Canucks respond in some way to the Avs here and aren't completely caught up on Guentzel. Need more depth.

“This management don’t leak shit” unless they want the public to pressure a superstar into signing lmO
