why would the canucks look to trade the first overall pick? if anything, they're looking to trade for it.

so because a player fell out of the number one rank the canucks should postpone the rebuild another year?

If im vancouver and i have first overall, weak draft class or not. Make the pick and hope the player turns out. Adding a 1st overall to boeser, demko, horvat is not a bad thing

im just wondering what kind of player will we get in return? a top player? a draft pick?

you wouldn't get a top player that's for sure, it's a weak draft class. it's hard to say because teams who get the first overall pick usually aren't looking to move it

 

[GoodbyeLuongo]

We wouldn't get what we want. I would much rather take Patrick/Hischier then trade it

 

[dbaz]

I'd trade the first but only as low as 3/4(unless its part of a bigger deal that brings back a center like strome/reinhart etc). I'm not sold on Patrick. He frightens me as a 1st overall. He has had a Salo like career in the WHL, it can only get worse in the NHL. Hisch is a solid pick, but he will probably have to play wing in the NHL
If they think Hisch really cant play center, then the canucks can trade the pick, pick up another solid prospect for taking Mittelstadt or Necas who have top 6 center potential. IMO theres some sucker who will overpay for the 1st.
Basically I see a solid prospect and top 6 center> hisch for the canucks right now. fills 2 needs.

 

[Beezeral]

I will never understand trade threads that are posted which require something else to happen before they become relevant.

If I'm Vancouver and I get the #1 pick I keep it. Yeah this is a weak draft class but still a guy you can get at #1 can really accelerate your rebuild, I make the pick if I'm Vancouver.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Vancouver should definitely keep the pick, Seeing that it's a weak draft this year. I seriously doubt that teams would give up any thing of significant for it.

 

[ManofSteel55]

What other teams would even want the pick? Not contenders or ones exiting a rebuild. So you would need to look at the best package that another rebuilding team would consider - and none of those teams would offer a good young piece that you could potentially build around. The only place you might get one of those is in the draft. Just make the pick.

the hockey news is the tmz of the hockey, they are desperate to stay in business and would publish anything they think someone would read.

 

[Leafs87]

I'd take Patrick better then whatever they'll get trading it. He'll still be a solid player even if he doesn't turn into a 1st line center

value of the first overall is the same value regardless who owns it

this is not a good draft

 

[MissouriMook]

I'm sure the Blues would trade both of their 1sts (currently #22 and #31 prior to playoff adjustments) and a prospect not named Husso/Walman/Dunn/Thompson to have the opportunity to choose between Patrick and Hischier. A (still) young but more developed player in Ty Rattie might be of interest to VAN as well given his history with Baertschi. Personally, if the two firsts and Kyrou got it done I would take that deal and not even blink. Probably about the only way STL is going to solve their long-standing 1C issue.

Yep....

Nothing but the best.

Yes, I'm sure STL would too.

Yeah, don't think that's even close.

 

[nowhereman]

It would be dumb to trade the pick, unless you get a king's ransom of young players back to flesh out the rebuild. However, the Canucks don't need quantity; they need quality. They've got enough Gaudettes, Stetchers, Tryamkins, Dahlens, Goldobins, etc. What they need is more Horvats, Boesers, Demkos and Juolevis: impact prospects with top line/top-pairing potential. Hell, they need better players than that, if they want to compete with the Edmontons and Calgarys of the world. If you can draft a big, gritty center with first line potential, there's no sense in trading him for lesser prospects.

Keep the pick.

 

[tylerjohnson2626]

If Sakic calls and offers Mackinnon for a the 1st overall and an add, I would listen. If not, you make that pick.

Could be the worst proposal Ive ever seen on here. What a joke for the Canucks

 

[Pyrophorus]

At the most, trade down a little and get another asset along with a top 8 pick.

 

[Bobby Digital]

Id offer 1st overall + Tanev + Loui Erikson for Nathan MacKinnon + bad contract.
