Proposal: Canucks to 1st Overall

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Be patient, the Sabres will have the # 1 overall pick in 2019 also.

 

[CaptPantalones]

If Tim Murray were here, he'd have said Dahlin and mic dropped after the lottery..

Botterill knows we're taking him, and nothing short of McDavid changes that...unless you have a time machine and can bring back mid 90s Pavel Bure and add that to the 7th and Petersen, and add Horvat

 

[oconnor9sean]

7th, pettersson and boeser probably doesn't even get it done.

That is asinine. The gap between Dahlin and Pettersson is not the 7th overall pick and a 29-goal in 62 game 21-yeaar old that likely could've won the Calder save for his injury.

Does Petterson + 1st (7th overall) net the Canucks the #1 overall pick this year?

There is no sensible return for that pick.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Please stop making offers for the #1 pick, it's a waste of time.

The joy of winning the draft lottery.

 

[Unspecified]

It is just uncanny that Buffalo has had a top 10 pick in last 5 drafts and now a D man is an organizational need.

Does Petterson + 1st (7th overall) net the Canucks the #1 overall pick this year?

Nope. It doesn't even come close. Elias Pettersson is a hell of a prospect, but he doesn't out weigh the teams need for a dynamic #1 defensemen which Rasmus Dahlin fits to a "T". So at this point unless you're prepared to gut yourself, it's impossible.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

No.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Keep Pettersson, draft Hughes, be happy.

Keep Pettersson draft Dobson or Bouchard. Hughes will be a bust.

No not even close. That pick will not be moved and if it was it would be s huge mistake from Buffalo.

Factoring in the desperate need for defense for buffalo.

Value is obviously not the issue, the fit is the issue.

Way too much to give up. Way too much. Dahlin altho projects to be a elite talent is getting a tad overrated these days

That one may get it done

If you think "fair" value gets you Dahlin you're out to lunch.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Your fixation on the Leafs is bordering on creepy at this point.

To the OP, i don't see the Sabres dealing Dahlin, he fills their biggest need.

Do you think the Sabres would do that?

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Keep Pettersson draft Dobson or Bouchard. Hughes will be a bust.

I say, Bouchard. He knows how to make quality passes.

 

[AvatarAang]

There is probably nothing short of 97 that would make Buffalo move that pick.

LOL buffalo fans are hilarious. It's going to be pretty entertaining reading back on these threads.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Yes, definitely. Boeser in Buffalo's first line can do wonders.

 

[oconnor9sean]

That's so much more than fair value. I hate to say it because this is Vancouver's board essentially, but Pettersson is getting underrated by this. There is a gap between the two, but it sure as hell isnt the 7th pick + Brock Boeser.

That being said, team needs plays a role into Buffalo's decision, but that's such a massive disparity in value that even if I were buffalo I'd make that trade and use the abundance of pieces you now have to fix the defense.

Pretty sad that they won 1st overall after years of selecting in the top 10 including a franchise player like Eichel.

The Oilers are proof that no amount of 1st overalls can fix a poorly managed team, so it will be interesting to see if the Sabres end up as the next laughing stock of the NHL if they still end up as a lottery team next season.

 

[Mallard]

Canucks should keep Petterssen and take another guy at 7OA.

Why? The Sabres have a giant need at the position a top prospect plays. Why would they trade it for anything other than a massive overpayment?

 

[Liferleafer]

Do you think the Sabres would do that?

I literally said, in the exact post that you quoted, that i don't think the Sabres are dealing Dahlin. Why you felt the need to bring the Leafs/Matthews into a thread that has nothing to do with the Leafs/Matthews is a little perplexing. People on this site complain about every thread becoming about the Leafs, it doesn't help when other obsessed fans keep doing it.

If you need a quarter but someone offers you a dollar, you take the more valuable commodity and make change to get what you need.

If you have Dahlin but you're offered literally any player in the NHL except McDavid, you take the more valuable asset and improve your team even more than you could have with the less valuable asset.

I know it's expected for a team's fanbase to automatically assume their 1st overall pick is extremely valuable, but 2nd in the league behind McDavid? That's taking homerism to another level.

His post history also shows him arguing why Jake Virtanen was a better pick than "soft and scared" Willie. Its funny to see him call out Leafs fans for not being objective.
