Rumor: Canucks going after Barrie. (+ Hudler)

[monster_bertuzzi]

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

Tanev for Barrie improves us tremendously IMO, would be like having Edler and Ehrhoff spearheading offense from the point again. I can guarantee you the Sedins and Eriksson hope we get Barrie.

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.

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

Wouldn't call moving Virtanen in an trade for Barrie to be giving up on him. Barrie is a very good puck moving defenseman.

What's disappointing is that the Canucks have already given up on so many young players. McCann, Shinkaruk, Forsling etc.

I would consider Edler and Virtanen to be an overpayment though.

Jakey can also play LW.

Except then we have nobody who can suppress shots against and check the opposition's top forwards.

We desperately need that offensive dman, but we can't afford to let Tanev go either. It's like plugging one hole to create another. And to add a significant amount on top of Tanev to make the deal happen makes this an upcoming disaster.

And we'd still be lottery team probably, just a high scoring one. Everyone wins.

i'd move tanev for him straight. I love Chris Tanev but this team would be a lot more entertaining to watch having Barrie on the backend.

That is where I am at. I would do the one for one, simply because Barrie is the more interesting player. I get that Tanev is quietly effective.

NO to losing any more top level prospects.

 

[Pip]

I would be more concerned with losing Tanev than losing Virtanen.

Gudbranson replaces Tanev since you know they're both defensive guys or something

If Gudbranson really is the Top 4 D some think he is, and Tryamkin takes the next step ...

Nobody would add to Tanev. But him straight up for Barrie? I would at least consider the thought

 

[Favre4]

I'm actually quite content with our d. More concerned with our skill up front.

 

[Cupless44]

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

How soft up front can we possibly get?

why would you be against a tanev for barrie swap

would make the canucks more exciting offensively, and get us a higher pick in the draft

Yup lets trade a not yet ready power forward cuz that is really smart and works out well for us.

 

[CP]

Most Edminton rumors end up having "or Vancouver". It is most often click bait.
Most trades are out of left field with Vancouver, like Gudbranson's, because the media doesn't have very good inside sources with Vancouver's management.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Tanev+ 3rd round pick
or
Edler+ B prospect
That's all I'll offer

 

[Nucker101]

Don't see either happening.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Btw, Barrie is def ending up in Edmonton IMO.
Chia will offer another ridiculous overpayment.
Probably RNH+ Nurse

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I'm actually quite content with our d. More concerned with our skill up front.

This. Defensively and goaltending wise, I think we are decent - about average. Offensively though, we are still a major work in progress. Although it's progress I'm content to watch play out now. I'd rather see Horvat, Virtanen and Baertschi develop as our second line then see more veterans acquired via free agency or trade.

um the media seems to be bang ****ing on with available Canucks players.

Should trade Tanev to Edmonton

 

[Skirbs1011]

I would move Tanev for Barrie easy.

Barrie adds a puck mover and offence that we are missing on the back end.

I would add a pick or a prospect not named Virtanen, Demko, Juolevi and Boeser.

Only other condition is they take one of Sbisa or Dorsett, only purpose is that Barries new contract is going to be higher than Tanevs to it helps offset.


Only other reason I do this deal is it keeps Barrie out of Edmonton.

 

[Regal]

I definitely wouldn't do Tanev for Barrie. Barrie is great and arguably better at what he does than Tanman, but they're different tyes of defensemen. The team already has Hutton looking like he could potentially be a Barrie type and I'd rather keep the defensive stalwart who can go against top lines every night. Plus Barrie is going to get a bigger contract that I doubt will be worth the difference. I wouldn't mind a package around someone else but I'm not sure what Colorado would want

Except Gudbranson isn't. So they'll do this deal and the team will fall flat on its face again.

 

[Addison Rae]

Christopher Tanev is better than Tyson Barrie at ice hockey.

I still see this as a bottom 5 defense in the NHL.

The thing is the defense despite being absolutely terrible, wasn't overly hard to fix with the right acquisitions, but instead it may even be worse than last year..
