Rumor: Canucks and Bruins Trade Talks

[Dr Quincy]

I think virtanen is gonna find his game in Boston I feel a connor Clifton going back.

Clifton is a 25 year old #7 D at best. Don't see why VAN would deal for him.

 

[Dr Quincy]

DeBrusk + Carlo? Vancouver return package needs to have Pettersson or Hughes included.

MAYBE you could argue Horvat. Pettersson or Hughes???? NFW

If not clifton maybe a lauzon he ain't no 7th dman. The kids a gem.

DeBrusk is a 2nd line wing who in his 2nd season scored 27 goals in 68 games. Carlo is arguably already a #2 dman, who is large, can skate, and at a young age is shutdown d. Oh and he’s a RH shot (supply & demand).

Carlo in Vancouver becomes their top pair dman alongside Hughes. Benning not acquiring both of them for a dime & a few nickels

I would be very cautious about trading much of anything for Virtanen, he has never reached near the potential he was supposed to have to start with, but far more concerning is all these off-ice problems we have been hearing about. No way I am trading a guy like DeBrusk for someone else's problem child. Most I offer is Bjork as a risk is involved with Virtanen.

What type of off ice problems we talking here..........if too severe ,than the Bruins are out.

DeBrusk and Carlo are great players, and I’d be glad to have either one of them on my team but there’s no way in hell that Pettersson OR Hughes is the asking price without some serious add+ from the Bruins

I don’t think bruins fans are actually asking for either Hughes or petey...more making a point that Virtanen and scraps will not work.

canucks would like Carlo (or someone like him) but just don’t see a deal being made between us. Boeser isn’t going the other way and we don’t have the depth to offer what would be required for a player like that.

 

[Cancuks]

You could probably hoodwink Benning into giving up Virtanen for Krug and the eldest Hughes brother, Cameron.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Lol! I noticed that too. That’s absolutely brutal. Vancouver is trying to dump Baertschi.

We are taking a bigger cap hit and more real money on, these things have value. Adding bearschi essentially lowers the cost to dump dubnyck from that late 1st to a kid 2nd.

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Cameron Hughes any interest guys? Played real good for us in the AHL but has never gotten a chance

 

[NiftyCanuck19]

DeBrusk + Carlo? Vancouver return package needs to have Pettersson or Hughes included.

Lmao fair enough, point made. I agree that a lesser deal is more likely, maybe along the lines of:

To Vancouver:
Bjork + 2020 3rd or 4th round + a center prospect (Oskar Steen or a different one?)

To Boston:
Virtanen + a prospect of your choice (what do you need?)

I feel like the prospect swap would make it a little more intriguing as Canucks are loaded on the wings and could use some more prospect depth at center.

You guys want Frederic as the prospect in the deal. You hope he becomes Boone Jenner as he matures but he won’t be that yet (if he was, Bruins wouldn’t trade him for Jake). But he can be a physical presence in the bottom 6 at 1/3rd the price of Virtanen. I would also angle to try to get Senyshyn in the deal as a sweetener.

Why is Boston getting a prospect of their choice for someone like Bjork?

Boston would choose Podkolzin, why wouldn they?

Kinda uneven trade.

Well I guess I meant within reason, obviously Podz wouldn't be going in a deal like that. I was thinking more lower tier prospects like Will Lockwood, Jonah Gadjovich, Petrus Palmu, Lukas Jasek, etc. Not sure who would catch the bruins eye.

K that makes more sense lol.

There's a big difference between a prospect of your choise, and prospects like lockwood , Gdajovich, Palmu.


Still dont know though if we would target a player like Bjork.

I really think the Canucks are trying hard for one of Carlo or Debrusk.

In Canuck's case though i think they are waiting for the MArkstrom domino to fall.

Once that happens, depending whether he stays or goes, i think the Canucks will have a fleury of trades to announce

Yeah I agree, there're a lot of things going on that depend on each other like waiting for the final decision on Markstrom.

Also I just looked into Trent Frederic and he would be nice to get, although I don't know how much Boston values him as the prospects I suggested might not work, who knows.

And I get that Bjork might not be too exciting given the depth on our wings already. But if they are going hard for one of Carlo or Debrusk, it'll definitely be an interesting deal!

 

[sting101]

Senyshyn and Lauzon would be more interesting

Both are unprotected from expansion draft though and i would shoot for a better player like Carlo or DeBrusk as well if we could add to get it done.

 

[veganbruin]

DeBrusk is a second line LW with upside and Carlo is a #2 RD with upside. Sure they didn’t have a great playoff but no one on the Bruins did really. The Bruins will not package those players together for anything short of a legitimate upgrade and if Sweeney does any of deals mentioned involving either of ghost she’d in this thread he should be canned.

 

[hmc1987]

Why in the world would the Bruins trade Charlie?

What would it even cost?

Boeser - Demko - Podkolzin + 1st rounder?

Would never trade that much for McAvoy. Hes good but hes not McDavid good

 

[bearcountry17]

Would never trade that much for McAvoy. Hes good but hes not McDavid good

He’s the best dman the Bruins have drafted since Ray Bourque. The only reason the Bruins would trade him is if there’s an even better #1D coming back the other way which I don’t see in that proposal.

Would you want the Canucks to trade Hughes for a bunch of lesser peices?

Hughes and Peterrsson arent available. At all. Unless its McDavid, Eichel, or Makar or something coming back

No but you also don’t trade away every asset you have for a player that’s not a superstar.

Just so we're clear, do you think a package of the two could return Pettersson or Hughes, or was that a rhetorical statement you don't actually believe?
