RWJC Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Coconuts said: Sure, there are other approaches too, but we should be balancing shipping out high picks with actually using them too. Totally agree, it’s kind of the trade off though in getting to where we are. Many attempts, many mistakes when you go through as many mgmt and coaching staff as we have in the last two decades. To be expected. At least moving forward there is a legitimate chance that our farm system will actually produce talent when we have the picks to develop there. Not so much the case previously. To me that’s at least a little encouraging Edited June 27 by RWJC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 6 minutes ago, 48MPHSlapshot said: That's a fair point, but it's not the only way to fill out a roster. Joshua himself was a diamond in the rough that contributed well above his pay grade in his time here. That's what good pro scouting can do. Benning worked over the amateur draft group but his pro scouts were terrible. Rutherford's group looks at the whole ball of wax. Granato is AGM Pro Scouting 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HKSR Posted June 27 Popular Post Share Posted June 27 1 minute ago, Alflives said: So we clear 4 mil and the pick swap is in 2027! That’s a crazy good deal. Allvin deserves a Shine! 2027 swap is a big deal. It basically means the player selected with that 2nd round pick likely won't make any kind of NHL impact until 2030... the likelihood is the window for the Canucks will be pretty much shut by then. Zero impact to this current group. 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapshot Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 9 minutes ago, JeremyCuddles said: By giving away a high-ish pick to fix their mistake? Lol. I love how much praise management is getting, they signed this bum. But hey, I am happy with the trade. Minor win from a major L. Overall it's a net loss, but this management group gets a pretty long rope considering how they've managed to turn the franchise around in such a short period of time.

Gets all of his money from the rest of his deal and then gets to sign a fresh deal with a new team for even more money. Who the hell would pay him more?He buggered his season.

Canuck You Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Damn if we do and damn if we don't. We've waited enough and the window is opening, We have many players who are just entering their prime and will be here for a long time, We have JT Miller in his prime. It's GO time. We got much needed cap relief and a chance to ice a cup-winning roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaBamba Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 9 minutes ago, Coconuts said: You're not wrong. Gillis was lousy at drafting, Benning tried but was overall underwhelming, he always traded picks to try and fast track the youth movement. Allvin's made a couple very good first round picks but has a track record of shipping them out. Second rounders too. My concern is they're going to keep shipping them out to get and squeeze a cup out of this window at the expense of the future. I'd rather them balance actually balance using their picks with shipping them out. I get shipping them out to try and go deep, but use some of them too for Christ's sake. Trading away draft picks is the equivalent of an energy drink. A temporary energy boost now, with long term side effects. We are planting the seeds for the next Gillis empty cupboard era. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
