WillisD Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Good luck Tanner. Class act. I dont like seeing picks go but this trade works for the club in a few ways so not much to complain about. Nice work management 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck You Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Also gotta realize if Pearson will even be the same after 5 million surgeries so there's that, 1 less risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Shackleford Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Did not think management was going to pull this off without yet again paying a premium. Great move to pull out while working from a position of weakness and turning it into an organizational win. I agree with @Coconuts that we don't need to trade Myers and most likely will need him as we usually go through 8+ defensemen a year. Playing a reduced role should help solidify his game. Management did a great job shoring up organizational depth as we now have it in all positions, while being cap compliant. Let's get this show on the road! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be sent back and forth to abby for additional games can't he? Our best bet for points is silovs. An extra 5 or so points could be the difference. I think you’re underestimating how hard it is to be a goalie in the NHL. look at Martin, stole the show in the AHL, came up 2 years ago and looked amazing then when thrust into pressure when Demko went down, sadly crumbled Now Martin will have to fix himself and that’s not what we want out of Silovs Look at how we developed Schneider, extra time in the AHL. Demko played 3 years against men in college and 2 in the AHL as the starter and he was much more developed than Silovs On top of that, DeSmith has proven he’s a quality back up Silovs need to be starting and playing in the AHL to further develop not sure why you’d want to risk his development 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competition is going to be fierce. ya we needed to move Pearson out regardless of cap problems anyway, we just have too many wingers. on paper our forward depth looks crazy good. Kuzmenko - Petey - Mikheyev Beauvillier - Miller - Boeser Hoglander - Suter - Garland McDonough - Blueger - Podkolzin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizz.325 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I was looking forward to see how Pearson would fit in this year. I think his big body and personality in the dressing room will be missed, but I’m happy we improved the net(hopefully ) best of luck to Tanner in Montreal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Lou Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Not a blockbuster by any means and disappointed to give up the 3rd but cap space is worth gold in today's NHL. DeSmith is a solid NHL backup and with the extra cap savings we'll be compliant once Poolman goes on LTIR. Decent trade all around. I like the idea of Silovs developing another yr. DeSmith should help manage Demko's work load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcam Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 3 hours ago, Reznor said: Yeah, but Demko is obviously our #1, and Martin didn't fare well for us in his NHL stint, and I was comfortable with him as backup. Silvos has great promise, but I'd rather he play a year as the #1 in Abby, and maybe get a few NHL games in to see where he is at near the end of the season. This way, he doesn't ruin his development should he flounder being forced into the backup role too early. Tolopilo has actually looked better than I expected, and will serve well as the backup in Abby. That leaves DeSmith as the most appropriate candidate for backup with the big club. I do question where this leaves Martin as third string in the AHL. I like this trade, though. Solves our backup situation, and reduces our cap hit. And while I kinda wanted to see Pearson back on this team, he IS coming off a long layoff, so there is a question as to how rusty he will be. Additionally, we have too many wingers, so this helps reduce the glut. Like the trade 3r rounder in 2025..Canucks will be picking up draft picks in other trades before 2025.. Demko 27 -top 10 goalie. Desmith 32- Solid NHL backup just what Vancouver needs until SIlvos is ready next season. -UFA 2024 Silovs 22-- Will be ready for NHL next season-- give him 45 - 50 AHL games - 3- 5 NHL starts Martin 28 - scary if Demko is out for ay injuries. Martin has not given team much confidence to be NHL backup Tolopilo 24 - Needs AHL games see how good he is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Brodka Jr Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 DeSmith is hot garbage I hope VAN doesn't have to rely on him for too much this season but Tanner had to go... Not even just for salary reasons.. No way he could have any faith/trust in that Canucks medical staff.. Those irresponsible fucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great two seasons ago when put in the same pressure situation. The difference between that and last year was the complete absence of a defensive system. Tretyiak would have looked awful under those conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
