Tank Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 imho, a top 9 (better be a second/third line center), a top 4 d man, a third goalie (just for insurance). In 2011 push, we had too many injuries in final games. Players I like to add: Alex Tuch = 1st + top prospect Rasmus Andersson= 1st, Kuz, top prospect. If we want to have a solid 2-5 years winning window, short term rental should be avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 honorable mention: Tarasenko 3rd + low prospect? Adam Henrique 3rd+ Anthony Duclair 3rd+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Only have so many trade chips I wouldn’t want to use all the good ones on another winger. I do like Tuch a lot but I don’t think we can afford that luxury. Rasmus Anderson might even cost more than that but he’d be one of the best additions we could make. Chris Tanev a cheaper option that we already knows plays great with Hughes would be a fantastic add. If Buffalo or Minnesota get crazy which I doubt but Mittlestadt and Eriksson Ek would be good adds for a 2nd line center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Also somebody made a 2nd C sneaky add is a little bit of an unknown guy on the Predators in Tommy Novak. Had 43 points in 51 games last year and is on pace for 42 over 71 games this season. They trade him because they’ll miss the playoffs and he’s a free agent probably to test the market and cash in on the best offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Svechnikov, Malkin, Lindholm, Tarasenko, Guentzel or a Centre I can’t think of. Our second line needs a boost. Realistically our second line is the Garland line right now. Max trade away’s would be a mid grade prospect, 2nd/3rd round pick + roster player either Kuz or Mikheyev.

Jeremy Hronek Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Acquiring a top tier second line player won’t do us any good because said player will have to play alongside two of Suter, Kuzmenko, Mikheyev, or Hoglander……which for a second line, is sub-par linemates. As a result, the Canucks would have to illogically break up the Lotto Line. Our 2nd line sucks but it’s not really a problem since all of our other current lines produce consistent offense. The Canucks’ real need is a #3/#2A defenseman that can form an elite pairing with Hronek on the top pairing just incase Hughes were to get injured. Jakob Chychrun is the guy we should target.

DexM94 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) 2C who carry his line. who is a threat on his own. annnnnd i'd love to get Tanev back. Edited January 21 by DexM94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 We really should start thinking worst-case scenario and injuries. If Petey or Miller or even Boeser get injured, we have replacements. The others can supply offence. If Hronek gets injured, Cole or Zadorov or even Myers can step up and fill 1RD minutes. If Hughes goes down, we're finished. We don't have the best LDs in the world and now Soucy's even injured again. It's great that we've got Cole and Zadorov who can play either side but the quality of this team drops off big-time. I'd be all for getting a quality 2LD to take some of Hughes' minutes, mainly in a shutdown role, but who can step up if need-be. We're a bit stuck though because we've got so many 4-5th overall guys (Cole, Zadorov, Soucy, Myers) so one of them would have to be traded/sit out. Cole/Soucy + 1st + Kuzmenko for Hanifin anyone? Hughes - Hronek Hanifin - Zadorov Cole/Soucy - Myers Wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comox Blaster Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Don't give away our draft picks or most of our young prospects. Team has done that in the past and struggled. Teams are based on their farm systems and drafts. Hogs is playing like a dog after a bone. Love our forcheck the past several games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DexM94 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 i keep thinking CBJ would be a great trade partner. there are two C targets i would love to add : B Jenner K Johnson too bad D Serverson is out of range cap wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it would take. Nashville has $16 million in cap space. Canucks could sure use some relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRaj91 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I personally have felt that a guy like Ryan O'Reilly would be a perfect fit on our second line, too bad we missed the boat on him in free agency. Been killing it in Nashville. Probably need to find a player who plays like him to fill that gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My line of thinking is that we already have Hronek + have Willander waiting in the wings. Chychrun can also play both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
