Friedman: Canucks targeting a young dman?

[justafan22]

5. I think Vancouver is going to look at finding a youngish defenceman, maybe somebody in his early to mid-20s. Troy Stecher’s in that range, and he’s made real good strides. Quinn Hughes is younger, Alexander Edler and Chris Tanev older. Think Brandon Montour, if not him specifically. Those players tend not to be inexpensive as trade pieces.

Maatta?

 

[Weast]

The Montour train has long left the station. I think you pulled up an old quote mate

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Probably Mike Matheson.

 

[Ctrain2k]

Wow real hot take here, I don’t think anyone would’ve been able to guess that one.

Who's the next Erik Gudbranson?

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Most teams would be willing to target an available young defenseman.

 

[CRDragon]

double negative? for what purpose?

Nope. The full article was posted today.

 

[LDF]

what a LHD or RHD ??

 

[Zats Muccarello]

Neal Pionk is the guy

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Haydn Fleury might be an option. If Canes think any of Bean (not a given), McKeown (probably ready but RHD) or Fox (if he signs) are ready, it may make Fleury expendable and probably won't cost an arm and a leg.

Good question. Is there another huge piece of shit with a beard and zero hockey IQ out there?

 

[CherryToke]

It will obviously be a player that once had high potential but has done nothing but shit the bed since being drafted. Who fits that description?

 

[Brock Radunske]

Bunch of creeps.

 

[Hunter368]

Trouba is likely traded this summer, albeit I suspect it will be to a eastern based US team.

That + this:


=

Cody Ceci (4.3 RFA) + Craig Anderson (4.7 1yr remaining)
for
Spooner (3.1 1yr remaining) + ????

 

[Vancouver_2010]

I hope its Adam Fox

Markstrom is under contract for next season so what is the point of getting Anderson. Demko will be on the roster next season.

Benning has tried multiple times to get a younger Dman and he’s failed miserably.

Clendenning, Sbisca, Gudbranson, Pouliot. His evaluation process of pro players is terrible.

For some reason I thought Markstroms contract was expiring, that's my bad.

Maybe I read it wrong, but it seemed like Friedman was talking about an NHLr (since he said Hughes is too young and mentioned a "Montour" type). Fox doesn't seem like the type of guy he was referring to.

 

[mattydamon]

Fabbro plz.

 

[780il]

Nurse + 2020 1st for Boeser

Alright. Best to read the quotes that you are embedding as it clearly Says that he has one year remaining in it.

 

[Em etah Eh]

We could trade you Bortuzzo but I think his hockey IQ might be slightly better than zero...

(for the record, I actually like Bortuzzo)
