Friedman: Canucks targeting a young dman?

[McSuper]

Nope. Boston fans don’t seem to be willing to give up what it would take to get Virtanen.

I would consider it. Can he play on the right side?

Nope.


Canucks are not going to pay the price it will take to get Pesce.

Please go talk to the Leafs fans.

Sekera played the Right side in LA . He has played some in Edmonton but he is better on the left side . If we say he a 10 on the left side he probably a 7 on the right side

 

[Cancuks]

If Canucks somehow win the lottery, I'd entertain trading Horvat for a dman.
Would be interested in Werenski, Trouba (signed), Slavin, Parayko, Dumba... etc. 1 for 1, if there are any takers.

Horvat might get you Pesce. Slavin would cost more. Top-pair RHD vs. #1D LHD.

I would consider them all except Dumba.

Blues are not interested in trading parayko.

Am not a fan of Sekera in any way. His contract is awful and doesn’t he have a NTC anyways?

No way......Horvat is the Captain next year.

Yes he has a NTC but both his and Russell becomes limited NTC this summer . Sutter contract isn't any better so it doesn't matter to me one way or another . Just thought it fills a need for both teams

I sure wouldn't. I'd move Hughes to the wing or just draft Kakko

Sekera is an injury prone LHD who is way overpaid. People in Canucks nation hate on Edler who has been a better defenceman for each other their careers and is injured slightly less but produces more.
I could see the pitchforks out quickly on Sekera. Suckser is terrible, but he’s still able to be hidden further down the lineup

 

[YP44]

Just once I want one of these headline to read "Canucks (or whatever team) targeting old, overpaid D-man"

I mean what team isn't targeting young players.

I would do it for Trouba if he wouldn't sign with the Jets.

 

[Svencouver]

Literally zero chance Horvat gets traded IMO. He's the heart and soul of the team. Everything runs through him. He's the Captain of this new core and will have the C to show it next year.

 

[kilowatt]

Who's the next Erik Gudbranson?

derek forbort

 

[lawrence]

Looks like it was josh teves all along.

 

[kcunac]

I don’ think we can afford to give up the pieces to get an established top 4 RD. We instead keep Tanev/Stecher/Biega/Schenn and pick up someone with potential to play on the third pair and move up when Tanev gets injured.

I would like to hear more about Pionk and McKeown. Goldobin is the obvious candidate from our side. He has the skill to be a top 6 and has generally looked like it. However, he too often fails to score on chances he helped create, and his consistency and effort have been questioned by the coach (somewhat unfairly IMO). If he could just bury his chances he’d for sure be top6

Edit: after reading the extensive thread on the NYR forum Pionk seems like he has been ok but made some mistakes and has been playing way more than he should. Analytics are not good but def a candidate to do better in a new place with a more appropriate role - similar to Goldobin.

Yeah good luck believing that Trouba would leave Winnipeg for Vancouver, Trouba is looking at the East Coast of the US not Canada.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I would do it for Trouba if he wouldn't sign with the Jets.

If Trouba wont sign with the Jets, He's surely not signing with Vancouver. Talk is that his family wants him in the East Coast of the US Vancouver is even further then Winnipeg. Doubt Trouba has any interest in playing that far west.
