So the same as the last year+

 

[I am Canadian]

Well, Quinn Hughes to NJ then.
It would be beyond stupid to trade Quinn Hughes.

 

[the_fan]

Mammoth offer for Hughes? MacDermid is a mammoth of a man, would Vancouver consider a one for one trade?

 

[Canucks LB]

Canucks trading Quinn Hughes would only make sense in a scorth earth type rebuild

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

So Horvat, Kuzmenko and Schenn gone this year?
Myers (retained) in offseason?
Boeser for a top 4 D?

 

[Donuts]

oel for leafs 1st
myers for sens 1st
pearson for flames 1st
garland for habs 1st
stillman for oil 1st
lazar for jets 1st

rebuild complete

 

[Mike Jones]

Friedman says the Canucks aren't interested in a rebuild and then describes a rebuild.

Too funny.

I'm going to open up NHL 23 and see if a single one of these get accepted.

Not a single one of these is plausible.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

The Hughes thing feels like a source doing Friedman a solid and giving him something juicy for a Saturday primetime hit. Not realistic. A rumor in name only.

Boeser for a top 4 D?

Between Montreal and Vancouver they're going to have 28 first round picks. Impressive.

 

[Xirik]

the rebuild on the fly idea that Calgary and Vancouver seemed to have been doing for the past 12 years continues on.

lets see if it works this time, I mean sometimes a half ass job comes off as a work of art. Maybe they will get lucky!

How long has Aquilini been the owner?

 

[Hansen]

I say we just be mediocre forever

Too funny.

Instead, it just sounds like they're just giving it a new coat of paint.

 

[JTmillerForA1stLOL]

What's the point of trading Horvat if you're not willing to take back futures? Chances are you're not getting a better player back. Unloading the most valuable, disposable asset that you've had in a decade just to make a "hockey trade" is just so typical of this franchise.

God forbid you attempt to re-stock the cupboards and focus on long term sustainability.

Think of what you might be able to get from them for Quinn though ! I heard this Luke Hughes guy is a pretty good d-man !!

If you just go by the words yeah but when you read between the lines it becomes pretty clear that what they want to do is a rebuild.

Like when they say that only one player is untouchable. That's a rebuild.

Myers (retained) in offseason?
Boeser for a top 4 D?

Lol they aren't getting anything for boeser

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Lol they aren't getting anything for boeser

I could see them getting Marcus Pettersson for Boeser

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

2004

[toddkaz]

Schenn for Buffalo's 2nd and Fitzgerald.

More hard hitting reporting from Friedman.

The Canucks can’t afford to resign Horvat at the dollar figure he could command as a free agent.
