Trade Deadline Thread: GOLDEN CHAOS

[PG Canuck]

Wow

 

[EpochLink]

There’s still time, it’s only 9am PST

 

[AHLdepth]

Look at the team on paper now vs the beginning of the season. Now pretend the trade happened today and we would have had one of the most active deadlines in Canuck history. Just because we did it early doesn't mean we weren't involved. If absolutely anything I would look to the waiver wire to bolster a bit of depth and point to our record.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Just for a good laugh, hoping mgmt pulls out the "trades are hard" line if nothing happens today.

That would be gold

Too and some people will take it seriously here

 

[aquaweenie]

Missing on Toffoli might be a strike out but I'm glad we didn't get Zucker

You prefer PDG?

 

[valkynax]

I don't think there is any debate.

As soon as it completed, it landed Top 3.

When that trade happened, the noise of Commando Dimbo getting on the Dimwit Fired Choppa was pretty loud.

That trade reminded me at the time of Entelodon, an ugly fat ass prehistorical pig the size of an SUV that would run around in packs and try to steal animal carcass from other predators. If they failed they'll just quickly take a giant shit on the carcass and run away.

Why’s nashville buying

Playoffs.

 

[Nucker101]

Toffoli at 50% for a 2nd + 3rd is solid, even if he's lost a step

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

So it's basically going to be Kessel and nothing else.

I mean...Lindholm and Kessel is pretty good. But it feels like every other team around us got better and we kind of stayed the same.

The pacific didn’t change much other than Vegas

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Wow

Dude what the f***. Where was JR on this

 

[Jovofan]

2.5 hours until Phil Kessel is a Canuck. Get it done Allvin!

 

[moiderer]

Moving Trenin and buying Zucker could be a step back for the Preds.

 

[krutovsdonut]

Why’s nashville buying

9-0-1 last ten games

 

[TruGr1t]

Toffoli at 50% for a 2nd + 3rd is solid, even if he's lost a step

Yeah very solid deadline acquisition.

 

[Nucker101]

Hanifin for Vegas was a great add, other than that no needle movers, I agree.

 

[Wayward Son]

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.

He may have served a purpose for Allvin as back up for Petey. Lindholm made that Carolina trade bluff more believable.

I'm not saying that he's worth it based on that but that it played a part in the Petey contract negotiations.

 

[Yultron]

Zucker traded To Nashville, not to the Canucks , Another name off the board

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Wow

Well f***

The worst part is, we still have to send salary back even with that

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Hanifin for Vegas was a great add, other than that no needle movers, I agree.

Need Roman reigns

 

[wonton15]

Sounds like prices might be lowering

Allvin going to swoop in at 11:50 and drop 2 trades

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Let's not talk about Jim Benning. My doctor says I need to keep my blood pressure down.

 

[Canucks LB]

Hanifin for Vegas was a great add, other than that no needle movers, I agree.

Tanev to dallas is a needle mover imo
As is hanifin to vegas
Colorado got significantly better also
As did the jets this month

The Canucks have already invested a lot of futures into this season: A 1st, 3rd/4th, and Brzustewicz (Lindholm); A 2nd (Dickinson); a 3rd (DeSmith); a 3rd (Zadorov); and a 5th (Lafferty). If they don't want to spend much more, fair enough.



I don't have FOMO on any of these deals. The Canucks would need double retention on Toffoli to get him to fit, so you're probably looking at two 2nds and a 4th, at minimum.

Ruhwedel is probably the first trade I wish they'd done. He'd be an upgrade on Juulsen, and a huge upgrade on Friedman.

I think Trenin and Toffoli would have outsized impact on the Canucks in particular, relative to the acquisition cost.

I'm aware the Canucks made many in-season moves. I don't think it's a failure if they don't do anything at the deadline, considering they've already been very active in-season. I literally made this argument in the previous deadline thread.

I just think if they wanted to improve further, there were reasonably priced players that would help.

Yea

If they waited longer probably could have gotten Buch instead

I'm not saying that he's worth it based on that but that it played a part in the Petey contract negotiations.

I don't really buy the Pettersson thing, I don't think they ever viewed Lindholm as more than a pure rental. He was just a pro-scouting miss.
