Here we go

Well...now he's definitely not getting traded.

 

[Pokecheque]

Same management group traded Ror for not much.

I think Zadorov and Compher and that 2nd (even if it ends up not panning out) are a little more than "not much" but to each their own.

I mean, I get it, watching O'Reilly snag the Stanley Cup, Conn Smythe, and Selke in one fell swoop has led to some buyers' remorse, but I don't know if we have to do a wholesale narrative change as a result. Buffalo didn't even get a fraction back of what they dealt to get ROR in the first place.

This will be the one time AJ is right....

The fight to not check your phone is going to be tantalizing isn't it?

Zadorov is a guy who can be a rock, or a complete bum. And there have already been plenty of rumblings that they aren't all that hot about him. As for Compher, he is a average 3rd liner.

 

[Ararana]

If I heard right on the podcast AJ is in Vancouver right now in a rented house with all the Denver media guys. I'm willing to bet he's not spitballing.

[Balthazar]

It was clear in my book when he signed that 4 year contract that he wasn't staying long term. People are quick to forget the circumstances around that contract.

 

[Balthazar]

Well...now he's definitely not getting traded.

He's in vancouver with everyone.

Just get the neuro implant already, save the precious seconds of scrolling

Oh I'd say he's an above average 3rd liner/utility guy, but again, it's just a matter of opinion. It obviously wasn't a great return, but what can ya do. Zads has more or less hit his ceiling, but we've also seen how this defense looks when he's not in the lineup, so there's that. We'll see what happens when they sit down for contact talks.

 

[Iceberg]

AJ sources are probably his Twitter timeline.

AJ is, or Barrie is? Either way, doesn't mean his sources aren't my friend who lives in Vancouver who doesn't know anything about hockey.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Here we go

Everyone submit your trade proposal.

 

[Mighty Makar]

AJ sources are probably his Twitter timeline.

Yep!

 

[Freaky Styley]

If you have a chance to get Horvat for Barrie with some details figured out because of contract situations, you do it. I'd also do that Horvat + 10 for Barrie + 4. There are enough good players that we could still draft a quality forward like Pod or Krebs at 10 and whoever else at 16. Horvat is the perfect fit on this team and also one of my favourite players

 

[Ivan13]

Contract notwithstanding Tyson - which shouldn't be a problem for the Canucks - is a better player than Horvat. In adding a 4th to him you are essentially risking trading two players better than Horvat for Horvat. As a huge fan of his, I feel both Byram and Turcotte have higher potential than Bowie and should be better going forward.

If they really have a hard on for him, I'd do a signed Barrie and Kerfoot for Horvat/Boeser and Roussel.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Duchene, ROR, Barrie, this would be the end of one of the best draft classes this franchise has had and should've been the catalyst for our rebuild v1 if we didn't mess it up so badly.

I'm not opposed to the idea of trading him because of the potential assest we gain but I think hes a good locker room guy and clearly one of Mackinnons good friends. The return must be substantial.

I wouldn't do the Horvat+10 for Barrie+4. If you're looking at it right now, Barrie's probably a more impactful player, for his position, than Horvat. If you look at it from a futures perspective, I think the 4th has a good if not great chance at being as good as Horvat. Don't think the 10th will become as good as Barrie is.

If they want to do Barrie+Kerfoot/16th for Horvat+something I'd be down.

 

[BKarchitect]

Would you do Barrie and the #16 for Boeser and pick/player? Wonder if there’s any temptation to reunite Boeser and Jost. Much rather target Horvat of course but I would make him untouchable if I’m the Canucks.

UFA-Jost-Boeser second line?

 

[Foppberg]

If a deal like Barrie + 4 for Horvat + 10 actually happened.. we'd definitely have to take a D at 10. Going from our current D + potentially Byram to our current D minus Barrie doesn't have me as happy.

 

[5280]

It's half serious, but if this reports are true and they are indeed shopping him isn't this an indictment of this group as well? I mean this group traded Radar. Let McClemet walk for nothing. They let Stastny walk for free and now would be looking to trade their best D to fill the hole they created by destroying the center depth in two years.

I personally don’t really blame Sakic or the current management for anything they did while Roy was still here. His philosophy and the philosophy of management was so different from what is going on now, IMO. In fact, I think the biggest mistake Sakic had made yet was bringing in Roy in the first place.

About Barrie -I think we just have different opinions as to how much he is worth, and maybe how much it will be to get him signed. I just don’t value him as much and don’t think I will want to pay him what he’s going to command. That’s ok, and my voice is not the end all be all, but that is probably where are opinions are going to differ.

We need Horvat more than we need Boeser.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

I’m ready for the regression.

I can feel it in my bones.

Here goes a 60 point defenceman for futures and the 8th seed in the West will struggle to replicate that standing.
