He's got 20 more assists than the next closest player in the league Yes, he's drinking Assist Juice. He should try Goal Juice next. It's even better!

Former Canuck Adam Gaudette currently leads the AHL in goal scoring. He stole some of that juice & converted it to goal juice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 HB's name comes up as a player to be moved for Canuck roster help now. Big mistake. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

204CanucksFan Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Just a fun little stat I'm watching for for HB: He's actually on pace (projected pace as of today 67GP 101P) for just the 2nd 100+ point season by an OHL dman since 1995-96. That pace also puts him 1 point ahead of the only other player to do it, Ryan Ellis with 58GP and 100 points in 2010-11. Could be a pretty historic season for the 3rd round pick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's actually a good defender its a harder issue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're covered on smaller puck movers for the next 3-4 seasons, and he seems like someone we'd be selling from a position of strength. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If HB is the key to getting a top six player then he’s gone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s cost controlled for 3 years and will be playing at a discount throughout the RFA years. I’d say we have him for 3 years, then they’ll look to flip him or Quinn, depending on what direction it looks like Hughes is going to go in the last year or two of his contract. Imagine having 2 highly skilled puck moving Defenseman 1 on each pairing in the top 4 for under 8 million combined? And then we’re probably facing a future where Hronek, Zadorov, Myers and Cole are gone in the next year or two. HB will definitely be a successor to them.

I'd get him in the AHL next year then go from there. Defs not included in trade for rental but maybe for long term player like Crouse or EK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it comes down to how he is evaluated by Canuck scouts and how he projects as a NHL'er. That would be measured against possible trade targets. At such a young age the room for error is huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The organization finally understands to start drafting positions we've been historically weak in. And of course people want to trade them. If the team was patient we could have had a player like Forsling right now. Maybe we should learn to develop our players so we don't have to pay crazy assets to get them? I know everyone likes trades. But maybe being patient will reap better rewards. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DixonWard Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I would rank our assets outside the NHL this way: Lekkerimaki Willander Podkolzin 2024 1st pick(very late round) 2025 1st pick DPetey Raty Brustewicz Silovs I don't think Allvin and Rutherford will hesitate for 1 second to trade anyone below Willander if they think it will make a big enough difference to a deep playoff run. In fact, with Lekkerimaki and Willander I think they might still make the deal, but they will just hesitate a lot more. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think D-Petey because he's one of the closer guys to playing in the AHL or NHL would not be on the block unless it's a crazy deal. Same goes for Brz and Silovs, Silovs will probably be a NHL back up sooner than later. Hunter Brz and Silovs would be traded only if we get a massive player in return.
