Trade Deadline Thread: GOLDEN CHAOS

[krutovsdonut]

I don't think much of Carrick(I guess he's a shit disturber?), Henrique could be decent but that cost was hilarious.

change for it's own sake was needed. they overpaid but it might work.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Vatrano
Smith
Greenway

Few more names on the board.

No Smith

He struggles this year and has 1 more year left

 

[krutovsdonut]

Don't worry. Max Sasson has had an amazing year in Abbotsford.

does he like hot dogs?

 

[pitseleh]

Vatrano
Smith
Greenway

Few more names on the board.

Vatrano is a classic bad team player that will revert to being a 20-30 point third/fourth liner once back on a good team.

Greenway isn’t very good but would be fine as a rental but the extra year is a poison pill.

 

[Vector]

Wow

Huh...interesting.

 

[UrbanImpact]

Buchnevich or bust

Mikhayev
2025 1st
Elias Petterson (D)
Raty

for

Buch

 

[Nucker101]

No thanks to the Greenway contract

 

[krutovsdonut]

i forgot about greenway. his contract runs an extra year so it would need to be a swap for mikhayevev. that would make room for kessel and a dman.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

No thanks to the Greenway contract

Maybe Greenway at 50%

 

[Vector]

Full trade.

Not interested either, yeah.

Vatrano is really pumped up on PP points. He won't be collecting those in VAN, and his defensive game is bad. No thanks. Greenway just isn't good. No thanks.

At this point, I'm fine with standing pat. There aren't any players I'm interested in still available. Except maybe Colin Miller for just RHD depth.

 

[andora]

The issue is in the Lindholm trade. You moved a couple good assets for him, and now he's looking like a pure rental. If you weren't really going for it, what's the point? It now looks like a fairly bad bet.

Until the canucks are eliminated too much has to be written yet to even conclude on that move yet imo

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I agree that the Pacific hasn't moved much but Central has.

Really like what Colorado has done so far. Especially Mitts.

I also don't really understand why we'd want Greenway, with the extra year, given that we must want to re-sign Joshua, and you don't want to be paying Joshua and Greenway a collective 4-6 million while playing in the bottom six.

EDIT: to add, I'd rather try to go 4 years by 2 million for Joshua then touch Greenway. Although there is risk with that contract and I'm not sure if Joshua goes for it.

 

[Ernie]

Full trade.

We just didn't have the picks for this trade and the team doesn't want to give up A prospects or young players for a rental so we are where we are.

 

[krutovsdonut]

Maybe Greenway at 50%

there is another year so that would be spendy.

 

[Vector]

At least this deadline is moving at a steady pace.

Yea, there's not much out there at this point. If Barabanov came cheap I'd take a flier on him, maybe Sammy Blais(not much of a player but could be useful in the playoffs as a guy who just wears down dmen with his forecheck).

Maybe you can get Greenway at 50%. Joshua at $2.5 mil. That would be $4 mil for two great bottom 6 wingers who cause havoc down low and allow others like Garland, Blueger, Suter, Bains, Podkolzin, etc to do work.

 

[supercanuck]

If we don't bring in a top-6 winger, I would try Podz and Joshua, when he's back, in top 6 roles.

last night was encouraging. maybe he's decided to play harder.

"Lots of interest in Zucker, ARI asking a high price"

---->


"Zucker for a 6th"

 

[PG Canuck]

Yeah we ain’t doing that.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

last night was encouraging. maybe he's decided to play harder.

If he's not playing too great you may get his asking price down as well. Lindholm in the $6 mil range would be fantastic.

EDIT: Ya as noted there's a buyers market for wingers right now. Nucks can pick and choose from quite a few I would expect. Just need one.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Yeah we ain’t doing that.

Zucker cap hit is 5.3m
