canucks curse Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 tbh I think they go with a swing for the fences move up front, a 4th liner like Duhaime who can play and no D men unless Soucy/other D man is out a while at TDL who are the 5-6? EK Boone Jenner JG Crouse Mittelstadt Vatrano I think guys like Henrique Giroux are in a second tier of a less expensive aquisition cost for an older rental that moves the needle somewhat but not a ton...

I see the 1st rounder leaving and something uncomfortable at the AHL level, but for whom I just don't have a clue. Maybe more of a " hockey trade " bringing in a good young center who projects to play second/third line in a Cole Sillinger ? he is a great skater, plays a reliable 200 foot game and can put up points. Maybe not as established or sexy as another name out there but lets remember this team is this season becoming a threat and adding another very good forward to grow with the core may not be the worst idea versus adding a rental type. Reading up on Columbus, they already have the pieces in their lineup where he could in theory be expendable. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Canucks identified Eriksson-Ek as a player they want I think of any of the options realistic or not he is the top target that should be attempted. This would be a player that you have to be ok being uncomfortable moving say Podkolzin, this year's 1st, and at least another piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-23 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) 3 hours ago, Honkin Hronek said: 1) Who are the other 3-4 guys? Lindholm Guentzel Henrique Monahan Vatrano That’s my guess. I think Lindholm is the best player on this list, but I don’t like the idea of trading any of our drafted guys to the Flames. Pettersson - Miller - Boeser Suter - Lindholm - Kuzmenko Joshua - Blueger - Garland Hoglander - Aman - Lafferty Keep the 1st and 3rd line the same. Continue with Hoglander on the 4th line, this makes us a hard team to play against when he’s on that 4th line. Also allows us to run 4 good lines. Next season, we can look at moving Hoglander to the top 6. 3 hours ago, Honkin Hronek said: C Casey Mittlestadt - BUF (1x2.5) [RFA] Not sure if the Sabres move one of there best player, but if he’s on the block, then this should be option 1.

Mittlestadt is in a similar position to Sillinger being projected up the lineup but other players competing or in position to move up making such a player available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 35 minutes ago, Alflives said: I’ve heard the guys on 650 talking about Middlestadt too. Is he the kind of top six guy we would want? Not too sure if he’s a Tocchet kind of player? He strikes me as a skill guy, but Sabres have a lot of those, could be an issue of having too many similar players? He's mid 20's though, 25, 39 points in 46 games Pending RFA, gotta deal with the raise though, 59 in 82 last season Won't come cheap to pay or acquire imo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM_Ranger Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 What about Tyler Toffoli? Last year at 4.25. Devil's might be willing to sell as they are having a rough year, and we know he can play with our core. He's on pace for 60 pts. Would need to be Kuz +______________ to make the money work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to go all in I’d rather go for the guy that’s a RFA. Unless Lindholm will sign a contract at a reasonable cap, which seems unlikely. Just my opinion on things.

Reading up on Columbus, they already have the pieces in their lineup where he could in theory be expendable. I'd take Cole Sillinger or Kent Johnson. Johnson is the local boy and Sillinger was born in Columbus when his father played there but he actually grew up in Saskatchewan where his father was from. Fun fact, Mike Sillinger, Cole's father, played for 12 different teams in the NHL, including 3 seasons with the Vancouver Canucks. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken. Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 2 hours ago, Provost said: It may take a while for prices to come down. Teams are going to be asking too much now, as it is quite a while before the deadline and any pressure points. Maybe they find the right deal soon, I am pretty sure they are going to make a big deal. Tuch and Greenway from Buffalo are guys who may be available due to Buffalo being bad again. Tuch would be an amazing add. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuck1991 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 canucks need a center. With petey and miller playing on same line, the hole in 2nd line needs to be filled. Jared Mccann would make a lot of sense. Kuzmenko plus a 1st rounder could get it done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
