Fanuck Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 2 minutes ago, Northern_Nuck said: I don’t think so by a long shot. I think Kuzy will go back to ppg in calgary. I don't doubt that. He's going to get their best players as linemates, favorable match ups, and primo ice time. But I also don't doubt that he'd be a NON factor for us in PO whereas EL is the exact player who will be a factor in a PO run. Does anyone think Kuz was going to be playing meaningful minutes for us in the playoffs (or playing at all) considering how he was being utilized by the coaches?

R3aL Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 5 hours ago, Mike Vanderhoek said: I hear you, I just simply don't care what the other teams look like or do with assets after we deal them. If you want to entice someone to take futures from Vancouver you sell high on Hunter B. The trades may not be realistic but the team adds a bottom six under contract next year at 2m in Bjugstad making the potential loss of two of Joshua, Blueger, Lafferty easier to handle and perhaps Tanev signs an extension. Also one big component of the make up of the roster is 8 players can play center and take faceoffs etc. Hey I’ve accepted it im sad to lose hunter but super excited by the addition so looking forward!

There probably wouldn't have been any spots on the Canucks for him anyway Watch him refuse to sign with Calgary. Pull a Fox buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Can we be absolute greedy pricks and grab Monahan too?? Then we can have Petey, Lindholm, Blueger, and Monahan down the middle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Junkyard Dog Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 1 minute ago, Grandmaster said: Lindholm was a Selke finalist couple years ago and finished second! Didn’t know that! He is pretty good two-way player. Is likely our best two-way player. Tocchet will love him. Lindholm also coming to a good environment. Could see him regain that 40 goal pace. He will be getting #1PP time. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 3 minutes ago, Northern_Nuck said: Joulevi was just a bad pick. He was the benefactor of playing on a PP with Tkachuk, Marner and Dvorak. He was never drafted for his offence. Dude was a two way guy that injured his way outta the league. He wasn't some OHL offensive juggernaut. His numbers weren't even that good on that team. He was a steady two way guy. Ya know what, I am tired of trying to explain to you folks that use the Juolevi comparison wrong all the time. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ronning4center Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 12 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! We also freed up iver 5 mil of cap space next year which we may need to keep the bottom six intact. This may be the most important part of this deal. 5 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijjibo Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 minute ago, Breadnbutta said: Yes, what did we really give up? A healthy scratch, a late first practically a 2nd and scraps, low tier easily replaceable prospects and a conditional 4th. Craig Conroys getting reemed For a pending UFA who wasn't going to re-sign. Calgary got a solid to great return and Vancouver got stronger. Not sure why some people can't acknowledge when both teams do well in a trade 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFaithfulcap Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 8 minutes ago, JayDangles said: Lol no. Kuzmenko can't score on average defense this year when playing with elite forwards.. you think he's going to score against Hughes or go into a corner with Big Z, while playing with Calgary plugs? He'll bounce back without tocchet, especially if they let him set up at the side of the net. Still want him to end up on the caps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern_Nuck Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 2 minutes ago, JayDangles said: 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. They are trying to build a dynasty, not a one season flash in the pan team It would be, but I think we gave up 3 big assets for 1 player. I hope I’m wrong, but if we win a cup with Lindholm I guess I won’t care if Hunter is the next Fox and Kuzmenko is ppg the next 5 years for the flames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 5 minutes ago, DeNiro said: 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. Conroy needed a lot of names in the deal to change the channel on Dube. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 2 minutes ago, Pycnotic said: he plays on a stacked team in the ohl, it’s highly likely this is the best he ever plays, And he's all offense no defense. He wouldn't translate to the NHL on a Tocchet coached team.. I'm kinda surprised we paid so little in terms of prospects.. Definitely over sold Brzustewicz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Devron Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 5 minutes ago, Ilunga said: 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 ? We just gotta sign and at least go deep in the playoffs brother. had to take that chance. I’m glad it wasn’t Podz, Lekkermaki or willander 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
