Roster and Fantasy GM Thread Pt. XVIII

[Bleach Clean]

I personally think that if management is going to continue to put a priority on acquiring developing prospects rather than draft picks, they should target offensive defensemen.

And not the Stralman, Lindholm, Brodie type, but the pure pp qb's in the Faulk, Vatanen, Shattenkirk mould.

I'd love for us to trade Vanek, Baertschi, or Granlund for a guy like Meloche or Guhle.

I generally agree. I've made a similar point about Binning's #1 target being a right shot PPQB. They are just very difficult to acquire.

The MDC suggestion was made to isolate a high pedigree prospect that is quickly falling out of favour with his current organization. That fits Benning's plan to the letter. That's already what he's been doing.

Yes but he is stupid and what he's been doing is dumb.

Is Dal Cole the kid that said he hated the Canucks when he was interviewed in his draft year?

 

[vancityluongo]

MDC should be the next roll of the dice target for this regime. He fits the profile of what they would want.

The most disappointing players of the 2014 draft?

 

[MS]

Goldobin for Michael Dal Colle?

Gives NYI a RW option right now and allows VAN to convert Goldobin into maybe a better long-term asset.

Dorsett and Chimera can also be added to make it more palatable to NYI. Chimera has been scratched while healthy by Weight.

Dal Colle is a dud. Goldobin is a better asset/prospect right now.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Dal Colle is a dud. Goldobin is a better asset/prospect right now.

MDC may turn out to be a "dud", and so may Goldobin. I am banking on MDC's intelligence to have him at least carve out a bottom 6 NHL career. Still very uncertain Goldobin locks into an NHL top6 spot.

On another note: What do people think about a Juolevi for Sam Reinhart swap?

Yes to OJ for Reinhart! Wish it would be that easy

Ok, let's suppose that Juolevi becomes a top pairing Dman and Reinhart is a 1st/2nd line tweener RWer. Still do it?

What if the trade has to be Tryamkin + Juolevi? Still a yes?

I would do Juolevi for Reinhart straight up, but ultimate upside for SR is not as clear anymore.

 

[Soups On]

If we knew their future outcome is

If there was a 100% chance of Juolevi being top pairing, then no. However, I see Reinhart reaching closer to his ceiling compared to Juolevi as Reinhart has progressed well since being drafted.

 

[Canucks LB]

Big rumor going around right now.

Benning going after duchene, avs looking at juolevi.

I would do it in a heartbeat

 

[Nuckles]

Buckle up, we're about to take another trip on Mr. Benning's wild ride

 

[clunk]

Why the **** are we going after 26 year olds?

I'm not a big fan of Juolevi, but this would be a mistake.

 

[MS]

Would be the most idiotic move we could possibly make.

 

[Knight53]

Would be an absolute disaster giving up on Juolevi this early. The last thing we need is him reaching his potential on a different team. Let alone all the other pieces Sakic would want in a deal.

Duchene makes absolutely zero sense for this team. A team like CBJ who needs that one last piece should be going after him.

Dim Jim getting desperate is a very scary thing.

Good news is it came out of Kypreos mouth and it seems like he was just speculating. Guy is not a reliable source at all.

 

[Donuts]

owner/management really pushing for playoffs if they giving up on juolevi this early for a near 27 yr old duchene. He is good but they should be building the new core around boeser and pettersson's age group

 

[Donuts]

go for sam reinhart instead

 

[MS]

It should also be noted that the deal mentioned on CBC wasn't Juolevi for Duchene. It was Juolevi, a #1 pick, and a roster player.

If we traded a recent top-5 pick plus another lottery pick for Duchene, missed the playoffs with him twice, and then lost him to free agency in 2019, that would have the potential to go down as one of the worst trades in recent NHL history.

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

Whenever I hear the HNIC guys or other national media speculate about a big Canucks trade I have to laugh. They don't seem to realize that Jim Benning straight up does not possess the basic competency required to swing a big deal with a bunch of moving parts. Especially if he's competing against other GMs. It'll never happen.

 

[PG Canuck]

Acquiring Matt Duchene would be incredibly stupid.

 

[CREW99AW]

Dorsett and Chimera can also be added to make it more palatable to NYI. Chimera has been scratched while healthy by Weight.

Isles have a glut of forwards.When Price and Quine return from injury, it will be more crowded.
Impending ufa Chimera has been a healthy scratch because they are trying to give all the forwards icetime. Kids Beau and JHS have also been healthy scratches due to the glut.

Is 21 yr old MDC' s AHL salary breaking the isles? Just curious why they dump him for an unwanted Goldobin.

 

[m9]

I at least hope the "roster player" in any Duchene deal is Loui Eriksson.

 

[The Drop]

Would be brutal to acquire Duchene. Which means he prob will. Look for a 2nd to be added by dim Jim at minimum

 

[NoShowWilly]

it would be brutal but if jim feels his job could be finished if the team doesn't see actual results this season then i get it.

 

[Catamarca Livin]

I do not think Reinhart is improving. Do not think he is much better than Sven B.. Passive skilled forwards are not hard to find.
