Coconuts Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 15 minutes ago, van_can_fan said: After everything we’ve already done this year and last, including multiple first round pics and prospects traded away to improve the team, I’ll be happy with a quiet deadline. It doesn’t make sense to go ALL IN before we’ve had any success whatsoever at the playoff level For real, this core is very inexperienced when it comes to the playoffs, why throw away assets for what could be a tough learning experience? We'll make the playoffs and get some experience, that's not nothing 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 minute ago, Coconuts said: 125k in cap space and maybe nobody wants to take on Mikheyev without making us pay I'm joking. The team already made three big trades for Zadorov, Lindholm, and Lafferty. Three players that most teams would be more than happy to have. The only pressing need to me, is more size on the forward corps. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other teams right behind them all loaded up. Is Allvin that confident in this group as it's built, to go all the way? Maybe they are? Joshua and Myers returning will help too. Maybe they swap Kessel for a lighter player, and that was always the plan. just hours more and we know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They added a defenseman in Zadorov that most teams would have paid through the nose for at the trade deadline, and a right handed Selke finalist in Lindholm, who looked really strong yesterday, that again most teams would pay handsomely for, and they traded for a strong fourth line player in Lafferty. Anything today is gravy. Looks like the addition of Hanifin didn't help Las Vegas yesterday. Edited March 8 by PhillipBlunt 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Sooo.... Vatrano / Buchnevich if they wanna go big. Olofsson, Barabanov if they wanna go small?? Would be nice to atleast get a depth D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the feeling that Phil's contract is sitting there, unsigned by alvin until like 2.50. At this rate vegas might sign him ha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngoway Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) I get we're antsy to hear about trades, but management still has ~3 hours left. Let's save the judgement until then. Edited March 8 by ngoway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honkin Hronek Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 I'm in class until just before the deadline but I'll try and keep things updated throughout! Hearing through the grapevine that Canucks are still looking to find someone with term, one name I've heard is Lawson Crouse - played well under Tocchet and another 3 years at 4.3 Million (a wash with Mikheyev). Cost would be majorly significant, think 2025 First and prospects, and no guarantee that Coyotes move him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
