Rumor: Canucks after young forward who was drafted high

[Gardner McKay]

She has been on fire this week with all kinds of scoops.

People laughed at me in the Kane thread when I said she was credible, largely because they didn't like what she was saying at the time.

Shayna is as legitimate as they come. She isn't just out there for clicks and speculation like a number of big name insiders. She is a true fan of the sport and just reports factual information.

 

[Donuts]

Wow owen power for myers

 

[Chuck Downie]

This guy might have been high when he was drafted?

But he’s not young and plays d

 

[Svencouver]

Miller for Kotka and a 2nd

 

[TrufleShufle]

Nobody say Holtz yet? Young, drafted very high, not a great avenue to get playing time on the Devils, more so with Meier coming in.

 

[DeltaSwede]

I'd say trading a 1st for McDavid would be worth it. His salary is high but he has a lot of offensive upside

We need defensemen who can actually defend. Not another one-dimensional forward.

 

[Budz]

Minten.

 

[Bankerguy]

That should be an offseason move. No reason for CBJ to ruin their pick now.

yeah that's a really good point .. not sure when his contact kicks in which has a NTC....

 

[thefutures]

Minten.

Hes a 2nd rounder

 

[Drew Doubty]

Something bad is about to happen and I'm so ready

 

[theKRAKhouse]

We need a Shayna tag. She has earned one.

Ya cause she like many other insiders know exactly how to play Canucks fans lol

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

I don’t know if they still count as “young”, but I could see either Bennett or Reinhart being this player

 

[Avs9296]

Newhook for Miller retained.

 

[EverTheCynic]

Zadina lafreniere kakko kotkaniemi are the first names that come to my mind

There's no way the rags part with Kakko, but I'd love to get him.

 

[ATypicalCanadian]

rumour is dhaliwal said its with Florida. Perhaps Anton Lundell?

Gonna correct this before it gets out of hand. Dhaliwal didn’t say anything about them targeting a high first.

He did his usual daily rumour round up and said (paraphrasing) “They’re talking to Florida, I don’t know what about, but it’s not major”

 

[BKarchitect]

If anything actually happens it’s gonna be a big wet fart compared to a lot of these names being thrown around - many if not most of whom are probably not even available.

I’m thinking a pick for a Zadina or Denisenko level player who has either shown serious regression of still hasn’t made it as a regular 5 years after their draft. Change of scenery reclamation project.

 

[Jay26]

Whatever.

 

[DeltaSwede]

I don’t know if they still count as “young”, but I could see either Bennett or Reinhart being this player

Was gonna take a stab in the dark on Samson Reinhart as well.

 

[Blueston]

Denisenko?

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

As Miller's agent, the Canucks management and supposed insiders and the apparent outsiders have stated, MIller isn't moving at the TDL regardless, so curb your enthusiasm to Boeser or Garland or Lazar or someone along those lines.

The player worth considering is Wahlstrom, who fits the bill and has the advantage of being on the injury reserve like Filip H. so he can't be an anti-Tank weapon (yet).

[CycloneSweep]

Yamamoto?

 

[iam76]

isnt he a winger?

HES CAPTAIN C MATERIAL!

 

[AKL]

Weren't they after Lafreniere a bit ago? Seems like it could be him again? Just because they're after him doesn't mean it'll happen though.

 

[EverTheCynic]

Yamamoto?

Nobody wants Yamamoto. Not sure why we'd go after waiver fodder.

 

[PajamaBoy]

No chance its Lundell or any of the ranger boys. Lol JK or Zadina fits the canucks move pattern though.
