So if the Canucks aren't prepared to give up high picks, and presumably top prospects, what are they supposed to be willing to give up? Seems to me that the obvious answer is roster players. They say that. But is it real? Supposition. You can bet that the first is in play with the right trade.

Just spitballin', if Kuz isn't showing Tocchet that he's going to play Canuck hockey, cough, cough! I think Boeser is doing what Kuz did last season, and that is score goals. Garland has shown he can play Tocchets' game, Hoglander can play both sides, AB has been moved, so there aren't many forward positions left to have room in the top 6. Can Kuz get the Canucks a top 4 defenseman? Maybe some team will bite in the East. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the Beauvillier trade, we're still deeper up front than on D. Kuzmenko makes by far the most sense as a guy who could actually return substantial value. I adore Kuzy, but strategically, getting an equivalent level top 4 D (ideally at least a #3 kind of guy) in exchange for him would balance out our roster masterfully. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 2 hours ago, Diamonds said: If I was management, who are apparently looking hard for a defenseman still, I would look at teams that are currently underperforming and might want to send some cap space before the deadline. The first two teams that jump out to me are Pittsburgh and Ottawa. For Pittsburgh I would probably look at Marcus Pettersson and for Ottawa I would look at Artem Zub. For Marcus Pettersson, and 2nd is probably enough to get it done. For Artem Zub, Ottawa would probably want a defenseman in return. Maybe Myers at 50% retained + a 2nd works but might also have to throw in a prospect. Zub would be ammmmaaaazing but I struggle to see why OTT would trade him? 32 minutes ago, Coconuts said: Towards the end Dhali says the Canucks first rounder isn't in play, they won't trade their first to acquire help on the back end.

Which was bizarre, as Chatfield hasn't looked all that great the times I've seen. More physical than Bear but definitely makes his share of mistakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't specified, but considering the Canucks have used their top pick to select players in back to back drafts one can tentatively assume that they're more inclined to use their first round picks than they are to trade them.

Diamonds Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 34 minutes ago, aGENT said: Zub would be ammmmaaaazing but I struggle to see why OTT would trade him? Really just because Ottawa is underperforming and might be looking to shake things up/clear cap space. They just acquired Chychrun and he's averaging 5min/game more than Zub so they aren't going to trade him, and Sanderson and Chabot are their two big money and big minute muncher defensemen so they aren't getting traded either. It leaves Zub as the odd one out with a contract large enough to give them more cap space or an interesting return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This exactly. I don't think anyone is suggesting we should be spending all our new found Beau cap on him, or that he's the answers to our top 4 woes. Solid, serviceable RHD depth that can fill in up the lineup and should be available for a ~$1.5m, prorated (probably around $1m) contract once healthy. So many panties bunched over a layup.

Rewind things a few months, and this would be looked at as a disappointing outcome. Go all the way back to when Beauvillier was the most visible component of the Bo Horvat trade and had notched 16 points in his first 18 games as a Canuck, and a return this low would have been downright unbelievable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- lots more at link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more, his cap hit (or at least his last contract with us) was sub-million. You sign those guys all day/everyday (subject to your team's professional contract limit) to handle depth rolls, with not alot of term. Worst case, you stick them on your farm (effectively hiding their entire cap hit). IE., *NO* Tucker Poolman types, who while they might be a bit better than Bear, aren't remotely good enough to play top 4 minutes and obviously not worth a 2.5 million cap hit WITH term.
