Speculation: “We may very well be in a rebuild in the direction we’re going." - Rutherford

[McShogun99]

I gotta say, it's real funny seeing Oilers fans shitting on the Canucks acting like they weren't the biggest dumpster fire for nearly a full decade before McDavid saved that franchise. Be humble.

It's abundantly clear that this team doesn't got it. The defensive corps is so ridiculously weak, and the forwards have not been good. People are expecting this to turn around, but with Quinn Hughes being injured at the moment and looked at as week-to-week, we're really f***ed. He's really a one-man transition machine, and without him we really have no defensemen that can move the puck efficiently. Couldn't have picked a better year for the team to have this type of a collapse with that being said. We should be looking to move Horvat, Boeser and Myers (With salary retained) to kickstart our fire sale. I'd also hit up the New York teams to see if they would still be interested in Miller in a Kessel-to-Pittsburgh type of trade where we retain about 1 million, but get a 1st + a recent 1st round prospect + a 2nd/3rd round level prospect.

Just let us shit on the Canucks since we spent the first 15 years of the decade getting destroyed by Naslund/Bertuzzi and then the Sedins.

If Petey hasn't proven to be a #1C, then Byram hasn't proven to be a #1 Dman

Also zero chance Byram is worth more, your bias is ridiculous here.

EP is a number 1C IMO. Really really good player. Avs don’t need a 1C. They already got a better one.

Byram is untouchable. He somewhat frequently outplays Makar. And Makar ain’t bad either.

Teams don’t trade 21 year old defenders that profile as future Norris contenders. Byram is exactly that.

Rebuild? Too much panic here. Shore up the blueline and the team will start to straighten out. Trade that way if you’re going to trade.

I’d fire the coach only to get the team’s attention and create a sense of urgency. It might be necessary but I doubt it. Can’t blame the coach for missing pieces the team desperately needs…

Defence is still lacking a legit second pairing puck mover. And their team Defence isn’t very good.

Special teams still an issue.

The wings need a FW winning 2C badly, Copp isnt that guy. What would VAN want in a trade for Horvat from Detroit?

Picks and D prospects.

 

[zcaptain]

It would be hard moving all those 2022 draft picks, since that draft is over and done.


Source?

Fixed................Thanks!

Problem is that most teams will wait until early January to give up this year's 1st round pick (unless it is lottery protected), much like what happened back with the 2015 draft year. Most teams would want to make sure that they make the playoff before they make such move. GM will make such a trade early only when they are highly likely to be fired if his team does not make the playoff this year. If they have the owner's full support to stay longer, they may wait for another 2 months.

Trading for B+prospects, 2024 1st-round pick, 2022 lottery protected 1st round, 2023 2nd-round pick, or positional swap (like a solid forward for young experienced RHD) however may be more likely early in the year.

Brock Boeser for Milan Lucic and Oliver Kylington.

Flames get their top 6 winger. Canucks get a legit top 4 defenseman with lots of upside.

 

[TheNumber4]

The salt is still flowing that Kuzmenko chose an unknown role in Vancouver over Edmonton

Lol. He didn’t choose an “unknown role” he chose a guaranteed gravy top 6 spot with PP time. Some things GOOD teams don’t offer to nobodies. But the Nucks wouldn’t understand they are desperate for talent.

 

[surixon]

Wouldn’t you want Pettersson from a Jets perspective? Pettersson and Connor would be very dangerous

We don't have the cap space to add him. Plus we have a good amount of finesse already and need a bit more players who have some grit with a bit of a scoring touch.

Wrong as usual, common knowledge he wasn’t guaranteed anything

Nope correct again. You don’t need inside knowledge to see what kind of ice time and oppurtunity he’d get on a trash team. Any agent with two eyes could see a bad team like Vancouver was going to have spots for someone that hasn’t earned it. And NO ONE knows what was promised in the interview process, he probably was promised exactly that. But it doesn’t matter, all you need to do is watch the games to see all his gravy time.

So you claim he was guaranteed minutes, and then double down with “we don’t know”..

Keep digging yourself deeper

What WE DO know is that he was told he was not going to be guaranteed ice time by management

You've ruined my fantasy and my day is ruined.

Spencer Martin?

Spencer Martin?

No actually if you read better or without bias. My point was that it doesn’t matter whether he was promised anything or not. Any moron could see that Vancouver was ripe for gravy minutes. Any moron would know that there’s more opportunities on bad teams than good ones. Kuzmenko chose opportunity to make $ over any chance of winning.

My point is proven by taking one look at a Canucks game and seeing the gifted minutes Kuzmenko is given.

 

[Jay26]

He needs money to throw at his child abuse problems

What?

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

What?

‘Serious’ allegations of child abuse levelled against Francesco Aquilini by ex-wife’s lawyer

A statement issued on Aquilini's behalf said that he categorically denies and is "outraged" by the accusations.

Why Canucks rebuild they got good young goalie, young #1 D, good young forward. A lot of pieces are there

Quinn Hughes can't play defense. Calling him a #1D makes no sense IMO. Put him with Pesce or Toews or Samuelsson and maybe he's an alright "#1 guy", I guess.
