Canucks Managerial Discussion | Part 12

[Lonny Bohonos]

Hamhuis is not gonna be resigned, the only way I see him being resigned is if another dman is traded either edler or Sbisa

Right so why would Hamhuis entertain leaving 3 months early than he has to?

Not that I understand why we wouldnt resign him.

Whos gonna play defense for us?

Maybe some magic potatoes.

Agreed, and that's why Edler needs to be traded at the draft.

He's the only marketable asset we have back there - otherwise too much is being spent on the LH side.

If we can trade Edler and get a 1st and prospect then they should pull that trigger.

It would 'somewhat' salvage this situation.

I would be all over Werenski or Sanheim. Not too concerned with secondary pieces as long as we can acquire a top prospect Dman. They fit the age we should actually be focusing our time on and it'll help the transition to youth by opening a spot for a rotation of various young players.

I believe that ship has sunk.

Teams can still make trades after the trade deadline, but the players traded can't play in the NHL playoffs. You occasionally see minor trades after the deadline and even during the playoffs.

Honestly not sure what is the point of selling Edler.

We are going to tank with or without him. Even a tanking team needs a defender that can play. I think shipping off Hansen might be a better way to get that 1st rounder back.

The point is we'll get 2 or 3 quality assets for him. By the time we're ready to compete he'll be too old anyway.

It's really quite simple. If he's willing to waive he needs to be traded.
