Popular Post DeNiro Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 6 minutes ago, RakuRaku said: Did most of you forget he's just a rental player?? We gave up way way too much... A first round pick and a top prospect in Hunter B??? Would've been alright if Tanev was also heading our way! Hunter B is not a top prospect though… his value is just high right now. Lekkeramaki, Willander, and Podkolzin are top prospects. If you didn’t want to trade him and Jurmo the alternative was likely Hoglander. Very glad we didn’t give him up. 8 1 2 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 minute ago, 43isprime said: Instead of trading Kuzmenko for assets last season, we had to pay assets to the Flames to take him off our books. A huge and very foreseeable error by this management team that has otherwise done a very good job. I'm not sure about that. Sure folks can look to the shooting %, but I have my doubts that (with Tocchet's signing just days before Kuzmenko re-upping) they could have known that he would've fallen out of favor due to play styles, which was the reason why he ended up in Rick's doghouse.

Ilunga Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 minute ago, Ghostsof1915 said: Considering in the past we've blown 2nd round picks for over the hill Defensive rentals. I'd say yes. I have to disagree brother, what has happened in the past has nothing to with this particular trade. If we don't win the cup and Lindholm doesn't resign with us, then we have given up a very promising RHD, they are precious things, a puck moving D-man who is in track for 87 assists alone this year. A first rounder in a draft where after the top ten at most, this draft is a lottery, that pick has the chance to be a solid pick, even picking later. I have put a lot of effort in studying prospects for this draft, as I have for the last few years. There is one particular player I am really hoping that will slip due to injury. Admittedly Kuzzy has been a disappointment this year however he was rounding out his game. As for Jurmo, for sure he doesn't seem to be panning out yet. So if we don't resign him and we don't win the cup, what have we gained ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post elvis15 Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 Ugh, I hate it when rumour threads are merged with with trade threads.

I love this deal. Lindholm is a swede , 200 foot player l, offensive stud, will help PP it checks every box Don't forget JR drafted him. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a gamble because we don't even know how he'll do in the NHL. There probably wouldn't have been any spots on the Canucks for him anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a mistake. Yes management appears to be going all in, but they aren't going to completely mortgage our future on one season.

CaptainCanuck12 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Myers' M-NTC may have been what prevented Tanev from being included in this deal. We would have had to shed a big salary like this in order to take Tanev's salary on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFaithfulcap Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 3 minutes ago, Pycnotic said: This deal reminds me of the deal Rutherford made in Carolina for Brindamour (not comparing the two) the year they won a cup, they weren’t first in the league though, but I like them rewarding the players for getting to this point, no one expected this and when you have a chance you have to go for it. They moved primeau for rod when they made the cup finals but they didn't win until like 5 years later but comparable in theory based on scoring output.

Pycnotic Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 2 minutes ago, farinush said: This trade would not have happened if scouts and management didn’t hit an absolute home run in the 3rd round. Hunter B is a phenomenal prospect but Kuzy (free asset), Hunter B (3rd round pick, and 1st (32nd overall) is good value for a player of Lindholm’s calibre. Hats off to management on this oneZ he plays on a stacked team in the ohl, it’s highly likely this is the best he ever plays, 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Anyone else find it hilarious Canucks traded Horvat right before all star game, same as lindholm this year. so both players at event represented the wrong team. and we already have an absurd amount of Canucks there now we just added one more lol also Alvin did an interview on 650 right before the trade announced kinda wild too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Odd. Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 Just now, R3aL said: Well let’s hope you are right His skating just isn’t really there. Hes got good edge work and can be shifty with the puck. He’s got real good vision and playmaking ability. But he lacks speed and athleticism (despite being really well in the combine), doesn’t have the greatest gap control, very weak along the boards, and is often chasing guys in his own end, especially against bigger forwards with speed. He’s amazing on the PP but he won’t get a sniff here when you have Hughes and Hronek. You also have Willander coming up after next season. my main gripe with Gillis is that he never made these types of moves in 2011+ and kept onto his later 1sts as well as promising prospects with very low upside. Brzustewicz is NOT going to get a chance here, and quite frankly he’s not exactly the type of defenseman this team needs. We don’t need offensive, PP defenseman, and fortunately we are selling high on him when his value is probably the highest it’ll ever be. Im very pleased we parted with Brzustewicz over the likes of Hoglander, Podkolzin, Lekkerimaki, D-Petey, and Willander (who was never going to be available anyway). If I’m Allvin, I’d be looking to use Raty/Karlsson/Aman/Woo + picks to get some more pieces. To me those guys are our most expendable assets. 6 3 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
