Trade Deadline Thread: GOLDEN CHAOS

[krutovsdonut]

Staying pat may have been the best decision made by the canucks

most likely true. i have struggled to come up with moves i like on the roster and on assets gven up all week.

 

[PG Canuck]

I’d be fine with Barabanov if cheap enough. Sneaky skilled winger, good skater. Anything to push at least one of Suter/Mik down the lineup.

 

[bossram]

Then let’s see them dap dump Mikheyev

*lemme change the subject real quick because my argument has been refuted*

But yes, I would also prefer if they cleared Mikheyev off the books. I was against the signing from the beginning.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

The Kings still have to do something, right? Trying to see where the rest of the chips fall.

Hopefully nothing. No one wants to play for that boring ass team anyway.

Toffoli at that price would have been nice but aside from that I don’t think we missed on much.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I agree; this isn't a one-year-and-done team. Hughes is 24, Pettersson is 25, Demko is 28, Hronek is 25, Hoglander is 23, Lekkermaki is 19, and Willander is 19. I know I am including a few prospects, but this is the core age profile of the team. The only issue is Miller at 30.

Nothing about the age of our players suggests that this is a one-and-done.

Insane that Hughes is not even 24 and a half.

 

[Szechwan]

So if the Nucks don't make any more moves, what are the forward lines?

Sounds like they want to play Lindholm at C.

So:

Pod-Miller-Brock
Hog-EP-Lafferty
Joshua-Lindholm-Garland
Suter-Blueger-Mikheyev
PDG

I don't like Suter nor Mikheyev in the Top 6 unless absolutely necessary. Possible to swap with Lafferty to mix things up.

Joshua and Garland have chemistry so would want to keep them together.

It's fine but really does show the need for a Top 6 W but looking slim atm.

Doesn't strike me as a contending move to go into the post season with Pod and Lafferty in your top 6

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

The SN pannel is hard to watch

Talking about how stack Vegas is after their TDL moves

they can literally be outside of the playoffs in 2 days

 

[UrbanImpact]

Pagnotta really needs to have his credentials as an insider erased..

lmao he has been sooo wrong on soo many information this trade season including saying that the Canucks had offered Ep40 12million in September.

I’m not changing the subject- you said dumping cap is easy so let’s see them do the easy thing that like you’ve said is the preferable move

 

[Pacific Canuck]

Although, if we could get Crosby, I would be ok with rutherford pushing some chips in

 

[Canadian Canuck]

would love to just bargain bin shop and pickup a Greenway and Eric Johnson type players.

 

[Ernie]

No retention is horrible.

Literally every other player has been retained on.

Yotes are cheap af. At this point they just need to move the salary.

Wouldn't be shocked if they actually send a pick along with Dumba to move his salary.

 

[TruGr1t]

Wow, Zucker just got a 6th rounder, also cheap.

 

[Lat]

I would definitely keep Joshua-Blueger-Garland together. I'd also probably put Lindholm beside EP rather than Lafferty, or shoehorn Kessel there.

Greenway isn't a bargain bin add with that contract

 

[PG Canuck]

He makes 5.3M

 

[bossram]

In general it's always better to buy during the off-season. Especially wingers, they get devalued a ton during the summer.

This x10000.

There is a yearly cycle in the NHL where you can arbitrage value. At the draft (and in free agency if cap space must be cleared), teams value draft picks higher, so it is relatively cheaper to use picks to buy players.

 

[Jyrki]

Sucks to miss om Tyler Foli but in the grand scheme we've already made Z and Lindholm as significant additions midseason. Although Allvin being Allvin I'm sure he's cooking something.

 

[TruGr1t]

He makes 5.3M

Even if you factor in retention he wouldn't have cost very much.

 

[Petey O]

What would be your guys' lists of realistic, tradeable assets the Canucks have? Pieces that they would actually trade?

Didn't expect LV to be just above the PO marker.

In the East, NYI has made up ground on Det/TB. Pitt/NJ with their TDL trades, seemed to have tapped out.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Look at his cap hit.

Mikheyev has been improving a lot the past 3 games playing with Miller and Boeser
kept them together

Mikh-Miller-Boe
Hog-EP-Suter
Joshua-Lindholm-Garland
Pod-Blueger-Laf
