Rumor: Canucks are targeting U-24s that has underwhelmed during their ELC. Which players fit this profile?

[sting101]

The rangers aren’t trading Laf or Kakko for any of the shit Vancouver is trying to shovel and clear out

Hate to break it to you Canucks fans

wait Horvat is shit....you learn so much here

 

[UrbanImpact]

Demko for Blackwood , plus one or more of these guys :
Boqvist Zetterlund Foote Bahl Sharangovich Clarke Thompson plus a pick

I dont think Demko is available, if he is, that offer isnt going to be close to the winning bid.

Demko to NJD would be amazing though. High Power offence that plays in front of a goalie that can steal a series in the playoffs.

Pump the brakes; Demko hasn’t even stolen a game this season and is a large reason for the poor start to the season leading the Canucks to become a bottom feeder (again).

a new season of JR's island of misfit toys just dropped

 

[belair]

How is this going to work for them when the majority of their key offensive roles are spoken for by players signed to term?

The reason why prospects frequently struggle is due to a lack of opportunity. Are they going to play these guys in a scoring role over a guy like Garland or Mikheyev?

I don't necessarily disagree with this approach, but there needs to be a plan.

Boeser , Garland are clearly on the trading block.

Horvat might soon be traded

Kuzmenko sounds like is going to get extended

Pearson on LTIR this year and possibly next year.

Podkolzin and Hoglander are marinating in the AHL

Lekkerimakki is raw and probably 3-4 years away

So really in the top 9, id say only Pettersson, Miller, Mikhayev and maybe Kuzmenko are pencilled in.

Lots of spots available

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Hayton for Boesser ?

I'd consider it. Nucks save cap and Zona gets an upgrade at wing. Hayton gets his last chance to be anything more than a bust. Hard to say if Zona needs to add a bit or not here though.

 

[God]

I can't believe some of the comments here... this is exactly how teams acquire good players. John Marino, albeit not on his ELC, underwhelmed in Pittsburgh last season and is playing well in New Jersey, who also got Jonas Siegenthaler for cheap and he's soaking up tough minutes for that team.

Jalen Chatfield got ruined by the Canucks awful development system and is now flourishing in Carolina...and he pushed out Ethan Bear, who's now forming an excellent pairing with Quinn Hughes.

Yeah, you can point to the thousands of examples where this doesn't work out, but at best it's the same success/failure rate as a draft pick in rounds 2-7. This isn't some dinosaur philosophy.

 

[Lt Dan]

Alright!
Turcotte to Vancouver E9!

 

[Gruyeriev]

This thread screams Tyson Jost

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Alright!
Turcotte to Vancouver E9!

What happened with Turcotte? Lots had him penciled in as a guaranteed 1c

 

[The Management]

I mean, in theory it's not a terrible idea to look for a player like this, but ideally you want to transplant that type of underperformer into a successful environment with the hope that they will flourish.

For Vancouver, I'm not sure it makes a whole lot of sense, but who knows.

[nowhereman]

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss..."

 

[thenextone]

Canucks implying that their pro scouting is better than 2/3 of the league for this plan to be successful.

*looks over at roster and sees Riley Stillman*

 

[GJB]

This was seriously the strategy Jim Bob Benning was trying to use for the last 7 years, look how it has turned out.

Not going to be popular with any Canucks fans paying attention....

No thanks. Foote is available but Perbix is going nowhere.

 

[majormajor]

Sounds like Puljujarvi would fit.

The Blue Jackets have a lot of these guys. In addition to Foudy there is Boqvist, Bean, Sillinger, and Bemstrom, probably a couple others. They're bringing along too many ELCs every year so some will have to go.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Why cant you see NYR trading these guys? Isnt Laffy on the trade block for weeks now?

Not according to Chris Drury.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Is Stan Bowman advising Rutherford?

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Why would Rangers trade Laf for pure rental?

Thank you.

If it happened, presumably because they preferred the chance Horvat would give them at a Cup and/or chance at re-signing him, rather than keeping Laf long-term.

Horvat can change the cap? Go on......

 

[JlindiesANA]

Is Rutherford related to Benning?? Let's get someone else's failure Can't any of these guys just hire better scouts or at least keep them (Brackett) and build a blueline that actually defends.

If I had to bet an over or under? Vancouver would be the team that gets the most draft capital this deadline. If all the rumors are true. Horvat, Pettersson, Miller?

Vancouver can easily get Bedard with its own pick, and have 6 draft picks in the first two rounds, this season and future seasons. That where my over bet would be placed.

Vancouver looks absolutely solid if they want to blow it up.

Future looks amazingly bright if Rutherford goes down that rabbit hole

Sillinger is untouchable according to CBJ fans. They seem to think he will be a stud 1c.

Thank you.


Horvat can change the cap? Go on......

Rags have plenty of cap next season. After that, not so much....

 

[cwede]

only if you consider chatter here at HFB to qualify as " on the trade block for weeks now?"

NYR have no urgency to move Laf and believe he will find his game at NHL level
Folks here want to compare him to other 1OA's, thats their option

but no matter what his counting stats, to-date, allow folks to presume,
at worst, he's got better upside than any proposed package I've seen here
mostly what we see are fans hoping to exploit an opportunity to buy low on an at-worst long-term top-6 contributor

 

[Tempo]

I understand the logic behind this, but Canucks are terrible at developing players.
