BenMaverick Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 For that cap hit, Id give them a Middle 6, a prospect and a pick. He would be a great addition to our D core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 We need LHD not RHD. Willander will be better than Weegar or Andersson... Kadri would be a nice addition as a 3C. However, his cap hit would be an issue. If they are willing to retain $1.5 million, I'd be interested in a deal for Kadri... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give them a first but not Willander unless they take Garland back with no retention. That being said, Garland, Willander and a 1st? With the current roster, if they feel like Demko will be 100% this season? It would be tempting to go all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Andersson is an upgrade on most of our RHD Options. If he comes in, with the reasonable contract he has, Gives them the freedom to move others and manipulate the cap more.

We can't really move him. Desharnais is perfect on the 3rd pairing. Willander will eventually take Myers spot on the 2nd pair. We need a top 4 LHD to play with Willander. Maybe DPetey is that guy...

Nucker67 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Haven't we helped Calgary enough as it is? I don't want the Canucks to do any deals with those Alberta teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're trading for Andersson, it means we're running Hronek and Andersson for the foreseeable future on the right side top 4. Making Willander a little less of a need. It really boils down to how badly are we in win now mode. After last year's rentals, we depleted what was already a pretty middling depth chart. We are down to Lekkerimaki, Willander and Raty. Honorable mention to D Petey. With that said, I have to wonder if both teams are done doing business with each other for a while. We sent them a lot of picks and prospects for UFAs and it sounded like Calgary wasn't keen on sending us Tanev last year. Assuming we were even in on him.

Ghostsof1915 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 With Hughes eventually going to need a contract extension down the line. We'd be crazy to let go of Willander. We need good and cheap defensive options. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t afford to be doing that. We wouldn't be trading Willander. It'll be a young roster player, a 1st and probably another prospect. Something like Höglander, Kudryatsev a 1st and 4th should do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Don't think we could afford what they'd ask for Andersson. Vancouver 1st's project to be middling or late, they'd want Willander or Lekkermaki on top of any 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes-Hronek Soucy-Anderson (PK pairing) Forbort-Myers Juulsen-Desharnais Now that is a championship calibre defence. I know we started off really good with the top 4 we currently have last year, but adding a proven higher end guy really makes it that much better. I'd hate to see Höglander go but if he isn't going to see regular top six minutes then it would be smart to sell high on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes-Hronek Soucy-Anderson (PK pairing) Forbort-Myers Juulsen-Desharnais Andersson is going to need to get paid in 2 years. Do you really want to go all in on Andersson and then have to pay him $8 million+ in 2 years? Willander is trending similar to Charlie McAvoy. He is going to be better than Andersson and will be on a cheap contract for many years. You have to think about the cap here. Also, we didn't sign Desharnais for $2 million to ride the press box. Tocchet likes his defence big. Desharnais is basically the replacement for Zadorov. He has potential to get better too. I think they have high hopes for Desharnais to be more than a press box guy... Also, they would probably want Willander back in the trade for Andersson. I wouldn't do that deal. I don't think Allvin does it either...

Then in that instance you could slide Desharnais to the left side and recreate the twin towers that way, and have your six best defensemen in your lineup on any given night.

Canuck You Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Garland was probably one of the best, If not, The best player for us in the playoffs. His wall grind was on point....Now continue on with your trade packages including him. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
