PhillipBlunt Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 15 minutes ago, The Duke said: Yeah. I can’t see us moving any of our D. We might add some depth but the idea of Zadorov, Myers, Soucy and Cole throwing their weight around is pretty enticing - especially given our smaller forward group. And given the fact that our defense is the second largest in the league, most forward groups will get knocked around. Zadorov being the biggest overall at 6’6” 248 lbs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rounoush Posted January 30 Popular Post Share Posted January 30 I'm not willing to give up too much stuff this trade deadline for multiple reasons. #1. Our guys have played well and deserve some faith in them to get things done as they currently are. Don't mess too much with a good thing. #2. We are at the cap. Any moves we make means subtracting someone from the roster and nobody has played bad enough to warrant that (I'll get to Kuzmenko in a sec). #3. Stay the course. Yes, we are having a good season but we still need to think of the future of the franchise, as well. Having a good balance of prospects, players and picks is what keeps a franchise consistently competitive. #4. Give Kuzmenko time. The biggest problem player of the year is slumping big time but give him a chance to get it back. We know what he can do and not everybody can be playing well on a team at the same time. Somebody on the team will always be slumping. At some point, someone else will be the new whipping boy. #5. A second line center will be too expensive to acquire and it will most likely be a rental given our cap situation going into next year. I still like the idea more of having Miller and Petey split up to balance our attack. You can unite the lotto line as a nuclear option. #6. Getting new players is no guarantee of success and can sometimes even hurt the team more (look at the Rangers last year). If the name of the game is odds, I would rather take our chances on our current roster and keep our prospects and picks intact. I'm not saying that I'm opposed to them doing anything but the price has to be right and the balance of our franchise has to be strongly considered. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmaster Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 1 hour ago, tas said: so? that's not the point. the point is playoff depth. We have the depth. Once Soucy is back, we have 10 NHL capable defenders in our arsenal. We need a second line forward more than another defenceman.

Petey centering his own line would definitely be optimal, as long as they can figure out who the 3rd guy in each unit will be. __________ - Miller - Boeser Kuzmenko - Petey - ________ Joshua - Blueger - Garland Hoglander - Suter - Lafferty Mikheyev isn't terrible of course, but between him and Kuzmenko/ Petey's previous chemistry, I think he'd be moveable throughout the lineup, and maybe Hoglander or even Podkolzin could come up and possibly be the 3rd guy in one of the lines? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy cant even move the puck. Worse than Myers in that category. IKR I think TO media s flaming up this rumor to try and get Zad out on the open market The haters be busy on stirring up crap nowadays Tanev in the playoffs getting bashed every other shift ain't what we need to control our defensive boards. Our big d have been controlling our boards well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mik is primarily a checker now. Him on the 4th is fine. Maybe let him teach Podz on the 4th.

J-23 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The last time the Canucks were trying to free cap space, we traded for Zadorov right after. I wonder if management has a trade ready to go again, just looking to free cap space. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 4 hours ago, tas said: conroy is a softy so tanev's preference will play a role (if he expresses a preference when asked). if the canucks are close, they'll be in the conversation. the canucks have landed just about every player they've been rumoured to be interested in this year. tanev, wrapped in a bow, is just the all-star gift this core has earned this year. what a story that would be. just hope it doesnt cost a hoagie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screw Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 There’s no way the Canucks move Zadorov. He was a target of theirs for quite some time, and he has played well and provided a much needed physical edge to the defence. I see Lindholm fetching a similar price to what the Canucks paid for Toffoli. I think it’s a trade they could pull off if they have the cap.

I actually like Suter on the wing in the top 6. I don't think he's a 2nd line center for sure but as a winger, he's got the talent to keep up and produce in a top 6 role at a very reasonable price. To me, the ideal moves would be sending Kuzmenko to CHI for the cap space and then trading for Lindholm (possibly at 50% retained) and Vatrano. Suter-Miller-Boeser Lindholm-Petey-Vatrano Joshua-Blueger-Garland Mikheyev-Lafferty-Hoglander Hughes-Hronek Zadorov-Myers Soucy-Cole To me, this would be as deep of a lineup as any team in the NHL. Having Mikheyev and Hoglander on a 4th line would be absolutely insane depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
