Rumor: Canucks going after Barrie. (+ Hudler)

[Favre4]

Oilers will offer a more lucrative package an save Benning being humiliated on yet another trade

 

[CpatainCanuck]

If Colorado actually accepted Tanev+Sbisa for Barrie...

lol

Tanev is the Canucks' best defensemen. It's hardly a ridiculous offer at all...

Not unless Colorado wants an established Dman.

The fact that Colorado would take on Sbisa is what's ridiculous.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

What about Edler+Virtanen for Barrie? (not necessarily advocating this)

 

[NoShowWilly]

The other thing about Tanev is he is signed for another 4 years at a very reasonable caphit.

What about Edler+Virtanen for Barrie?

I would do that.

 

[Wisp]

You're not getting a player like Tyson Barrie for Erik Gudbrandon

I think you're overestimating the intelligence as Avs management, because you totally could. sakic and roy speak the same language as benning. they're wired the same. they would covet Gudbranson for the same reasons Benning does.

$4.45M AAV is more than reasonable for a player of Tanev's calibre.

 

[Goon42]

Oh god please dont move virtanen

 

[CCF]

Please stop making trades, management. You aren't good at it.

 

[jimslob]

"What about Edler+Virtanen for Barrie?"

I would do that.

That is insane overpayment!

 

[The Extrapolater]

One positive to keep in mind, here, is Colorado's management tandem operates on the same wavelength as Benning, so one never knows what sort of deal could happen here.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Oh god please dont move virtanen

Just signed Eriksson for so many years, and we have Boeser. #NoRoomForVirtanen

 

[Favre4]

Edler an Virtanen for Barrie is horrible for us

 

[earl grey]

[MOD] is gonna win one for once... I gots a feelin

 

[Favre4]

What's the thinking on hudler? I don't see how he's a fit

 

[Pip]

What's the thinking on hudler? I don't see how he's a fit

Also don't see why we would be pushing for Hudler.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

Tanev for Barrie makes sense for both teams as they both replace a RHD. Edler and Virtanen is horrible.

Can't ****ing believe how many write off 19 year old Virtanen.

 

[KeninsFan]

Dim Jim is gonna win one for once... I gots a feelin

I'm all for bashing Benning but give respect where it's due.

Benning totally won the Bieksa/2nd deal AINEC.

Jakey can also play LW.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Just not interested in this...at all.

Keep Tanev, keep developing Hutton and Tryamkin, develop Juolevi right, and hope one or both of Subban and Stecher pan out. Don't gut the cupboard to acquire Barrie..

 

[Favre4]

Yeah it's quite disappointing how so many posters are giving up on Virtanen.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

And I like Barrie. A lot. But the cost it will take to acquire him will gut us.

 

[Blueangel1891]

Wow it's already starting.

Nobody's saying sell the farm or deal all our draft picks. But you can't expect to get someone like Barrie for a bunch of crap like Sbisa. Not everyone is as stupid as Jim Benning

Fact is that our PP really, really could use a guy like him. You're always stating our defence has zero offensive input, and if we're actually going to do something about it you wouldn't accept the cost?

But yes, Benning trading also scares the **** out of me. Actually, everything Benning does scares the **** out of me
