Proposal: Tampa Bay+Vancouver Blockbuster

[Dankmemes187]

To VAN: Cirelli, Sergachev, Johnson
To TBL: Hughes, Podkolzin, Eriksson (bought out)


Tampa does this trade for 3 reasons.

reason 1: Hughes and Podkolzin are both expansion draft exempt, assuming seattle will pick a player over a prospect you will have 8 forwards and 4 defenceman (is Foote exempt?) from the starting roster protected.

reason2: Podkolzin is Going to be an excellent player in the NHL right away. Getting him for 3 years on a ELC will set you up to be a stanley cup favorite for at least the next 3 years. Jere Lehtinen 2.0

Reason 3: Hughes will be his best self on a team like Tampa, since your team always has the puck, Expect hughes to put up 100 point seasons.

Canucks do this trade for 4 reasons

reason 1 the value of Cirelli and Sergachev make up for the negative value that TJ brings for the next 3 seasons.

Reason 2: Hughes is not a good fit for a team with the worst puck possession metrics

Reason 3: Cirelli is the perfect player for the canucks and a perfect replacement for Sutter and an eventual replacement for Horvat.

Reason 4: Loui Eriksson, for the first time in 5 years will help the canucks win a game.

conclusion: Both teams do this trade to improve their teams for the short term

No... just no

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Canucks are not moving Hughes.

 

[Didalee Hed]

This is not ok

it’s demented

 

[elitepete]

Canucks obviously decline

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Sorry but this is horrible for Vancouver and if Benning did this my advice is run real fast

 

[JoVel]

A big fat no but thanks for asking.

 

[LuLover96]

Not even close for Vancouver. Hughes is the first number 1 defenseman in franchise history, and Podz is going to a be a good one. The difference between Loui and Johnson isn’t enough to compensate for the difference in Hughes+Podz/Cirelli+Serg

 

[treple13]

I feel like this isn't great for either team, but I can see a reason for Vancouver to do it and can't see any for Tampa to do it

 

[canadianmagpie]

That's a huge no from Vancouver.

then the canucks still have zero #1 D

to all the canucks fans,

ask any tampa bay fans, Cirelli is the best player in this trade hands down and will be bergeron 2.0 and Sergechev will be Hedman-lite.

to all the Tampa bay fans

ask any vancouver fans, Hughes is the best player in this trade hands down and a future 1D(He's not a 1d though, he's something unique).

and Podkolzin is the second coming of god.

Since neither of you likes it, it's probably fair value.

Yall are crazy.

 

[CanadienShark]

Neither team does this.

 

[AHLdepth]

and an eventual replacement for Horvat.

This in particular interests me I suppose. Not that the rest isn't a wonder to look at, but....how old do you think Horvat actually is? A 23 year old as the heir apparent to a........25 year old?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Good god! What a terrible proposal.

 

[SensontheRush]

On reflection, the part that nixes the deal has got to be that god-awful Johnson contract.

Thankfully Eriksson's contract lasts only one more year.

 

[Dankmemes187]

I feel like this isn't great for either team, but I can see a reason for Vancouver to do it and can't see any for Tampa to do it

the main reason tampa does this is to protect it's prospects from Seattle expansion while also lowering their CAP, there good at circumventing the cap but not three years in a row good. Reducing Tampa's cap without sacrificing its future or it's compete level. Having a player like hughes on a team like Tampa allows them to play the game differently when ahead and behind.

Vancouver does this because having a player like Hughes on a team like ours is a waste, Hughes cant retrieve the puck, and neither can any other player. Cirelli and Sergachev for at least the next 3 years are players that will help Vancouver win more games than Hughes and Podkolzin

 

[M2Beezy]

Take Hughes out of this deal and I still wouldnt do it even if the Lightening add a 1st

 

[Tempo]

If I have to rate this proposal in a scale of 1 - 10, I would give this a -1.

 

[Ita]

Lock this garbage up.

 

[FOurteenS inCisOr]

i totally agree with you, but Johnson is still a 0.5ppg player, and The Value of Hughes and an unproven(Yet top 3 in the league) prospect is less than Cirelli and Sergachev. you have to give to get

 

[Drake1588]

Tampa Bay is not going to make any blockbuster trades, because they don't need to make changes. They're getting Kucherov back at season's end. They are fine. They'll tinker, look to add a rental or two. That's probably it. They do not need to subtract anything from their roster, a roster that has run roughshod over the league for the last two seasons.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Horrible for both teams
