Proposal: VAN - Best Forward Available

[Soundgarden]

O'Reilly makes more sense but my overall question to Nashville fans is do they expect to even make the playoffs any time in the next 3 years while Frosberg is under contract as their top players are really old and their pipeline is kind meh?

We have a top ten pipeline plus 3 1sts this year. Forsberg should still be in good condition when we're ready to contend again.

Eichel had a major spine injury and there were questions about how he would heal afterwards, he also hadn't hit more than 36 goals or 82 points. Forsberg is a 48 goal 96 point player in the middle of his prime, untouchables would need to be on the table for us to consider moving him.

Eichel was also 24 years old

I'm not so sure about top 10 but maybe if one is including your first 2 picks from the 21 draft who have split time in Nashville this year and in the monir still?

What I see is quantity and not very much high end quality in the system.

Phil Forsberg for Vancouver 1st + 2nd rounder in 2025 (unprotected) +Lekkerimaki + Silvos + Raty?

To VAN:

Forsberg
ROR

To NSH

2025 1st VAN
2025 2nd VAN
2025 4th OTT
Lekkerimaki
Boeser

?

Nashville gets younger by a bit with a good prospect in Lekkerimaki
Could extend Boeser or just flip him for more futures

Vancouver gets a top line winger to play with Petey and ROR to fill in the 2C hole that's left behind by Miller (unless Chytil keeps it going)

Bad for Nashville. We have three 1sts this year and it's a weak draft. We're not trading Forsberg for a 1st and Lekkermaki and then adding ROR.

Somehow I doubt that Nashville would get excited by this even with Boser signed and many Canucks fans wouldn't want this either.

Does that make it a fair offer?

Maybe on paper.

You also get Boeser who could be re-signed or flipped.

No disrespect but I'd rather have Foraberg and Misa/Hagens than Boeser and Misa/Hagens. I suspect other Nashville fans feel the same.

As an objective and neutral observer, this deal seems too lopsided for the Preds. Too much youth coming out of Vancouver who is not really a contender to be doing such a thing. Adding those two forwards helps for sure, but Vancouver cannot mortgage the future on a deal like this

You're underrating Forsberg. Vancouver only really gives up Lekkermaki in this deal and they're getting a PPG forward who just had a 48G/96P season last year. This deal doesn't do anything for Nashville.

I don’t see why the Canucks would gut their pipeline and draft picks like this. They are farther away from a cup than Forsberg.

I guess they need to try something though. More than likely in that no man’s land currently where if they manage to get a wildcard spot they will get steam rolled or just miss the playoffs.

 

[dbaz]

based off typical trades. forsberg would be getting a 1st, prospect and cap dump, maybe another lower pick(3rd+)/lower prospect if he was a ufa

he more than likely comes with 2 more good years, but i still dont see the canucks trading either willander or lekk, which would probably take them out of it.

the only advantage they may have over a different team is the ability to absorb the cap hit without really sending a cap dump back.

doesnt seem like much of a fit unless NSH is really high on Mynio/Raty
