Both Forbort and Soucy are quite injury prone. Our left side is going to be pretty barren after Hughes if they both continue that trend next season. 

 

Sweet....that means we're gonna see some D-Petey in Vancouver this season.

 

[Warhippy]

Mantha went to Calgary, so we can basically guarantee he will be in Vancouver soon.  To make space we'll send someone to Chicago with a sweetener to make cap space

[Canucks164cup]

Those Vancouver Bruins doing some signing today....

Kings got Jeanott at draft and Edmunson and Foegele today. 

Jeanott is a kind of gamble. Was the 41 point Season in Nashville, a one off? Or does he have a lot more to contribute?

Looking through TSN's top 50 list of whats available, some names that stand out

 

FWD

- Tarasenko

- Wennberg

- Skinner

- Sprong

- Roslovic

- Tyler Johnson

- Tyler Motte

- Christain Fischer

 

D

- Alex Carrier

- Justin Schultz

- Jani Hakanpaa

- PO Joseph

 

Wonder if they look to add some more scoring punch upfront or look at more puck movement on the backend. 

Carrier hasn’t signed yet? 
 

he’d be the most ideal add to our back end really fit in and give the option of moving Hronek around at points in games or strestches in the seasn

I predict we’ll acquire Backlund.

To be fair to Boqvist, Columbus has been a tire fire at best recently and he scored 11 goals a couple of years ago. Playing for a contender with an actual structure and coaching staff like ours could do wonders for his game. 

True, if we can recoup him and turn him into an offensive D to meet his potential we can be quite strong.

[Rip The Mesh]

Exactly. Bingo. Alright then. Let's rock. We'll have an advantage come September, and on.....

Oh right. Edmonton lost. 
 

Today is still a good day.

[wai_lai416]

So is this plan D on defence? Forbort Myers soucy juulsen the bottom 4 pairings? Oh boy

[Ghostsof1915]

Think Wennberg would sign a cheap-ish deal here? He'd look great on Petey's line.

It’s the same we went into last year with and dominated - just with more chemistry and Forbort in for Cole.

Interesting idea. I’m all for it. Couldn’t hurt to poke the tires.

Have to move value to get value. Somebody might give up an established player to change their cap structure/shake up their roster construction to take a chance on a streaky 20 goal scorer on a good contract. If the Canucks think Hoglander is nearing his ceiling, they may include him in a deal that adds higher end talent to the roster. Hockey is not just simple arithmetic, teams still have to consider roster make up and chemistry. Hoglander has certain NHL level skills (e.g. skating, stick handling) but he has not proven with his decision making that he can consistently put them together to be a fixture in the top 6. Even with DeBrusk, the team needs another consistent top 6 winger threat. I think the Canucks could dangle him for an upgrade.

If you're moving him 1 for 1 for a future top 4 D who's on similar contract, Great!

 

That seldom happens, 95% of the time, you move older, higher priced contracts to get the improvement. 

 

Enter Garland... love the guys and his game, but he's the most likely guy to get moved.

[NoCupSyndrome]

I like the flexibility, depth the team has created. I expect a high end top six to be on this team by playoffs and some solid D depth to be in place this summer or later in the year. Young team as well...like it.

so Juulsen replaces zadorov? You know soucy was the least deployed defenseman in tight games or tied games last season right not including ur 2 offensive guy Hughes and hronek? Now he’s going to be the #1 or 2 guy in those situation 

[Jim Tim]

Still lacking a top 4 D... how do we feel about trading for Ekblad w/ salary retained? 1 year left on his contract, could always flip him later on. There's also Carrier who looks to have 2nd pairing 2-way upside.

He and Hogs have the most value. I don't think Podz has value outside of Vancouver (Maybe Toronto..snicker..snicker)

I don't want Garland to go, but he'd get a good return.

I think the plan should be to acquire another RHD. 

 

Wondering if Cole is still in the thought process. 
 

Or, a stretch, slowly bringing in Willander? 
 

Edit- Not Cole, but Soucy. My bad.

While sticking him with a sound dfd like Soucy? Low risk high reward guy for me.
