Rumor: Dhaliwal- Canucks interested in Jordan Greenway

[UrbanImpact]

Definitely seems like a Rutherford/Allvin type of player to compliment their PK and bottom 6. Though i suspect that getting a top 6 forward is a bigger priority.

What would it cost for Greenway?

He was traded for a 2nd and 5th last season. 3mil AAV for this year and next.

I don’t seem him moved.

The Canucks want everyone's bottom 6 forwards. Your bottom 6 forwards are ours.

You can keep the top 6 forwards.

Buffalo's HC lobbied to get Greenway and he's been regularly part of their best forechecking line, regardless of if it is with Mittelstadt and Benson or with Cozens and Thompson. Add in his very noticeable contributions to improving their PK and the relative economy of his deal... that's likely gunna be a no.

 

[Siludin]

I want to see* if Girgensons can wake up with a change of scenary. Canucks have a couple of Latvians in the system too (Bluegers, Silovs)

 

[Hoglander]

I'd just like to say the word "seem". Cuz why not?

Admonishing me for an evident typo makes you look dumber than me, unless you were referring to OP.

His size and PK ability is likely what is attracting the Canucks most. I agree, I dont think Sabres will move him but the Canucks will definiely be calling.

Might be dangling someone like Podkilzin as well. who knows.

Their best assets will likely be reserved for a top 6 forward or top 4 Dman but Sabres can still get some nice pieces from the Canucks if they did decide to move Greenway.

Yeah, not an indictment of possible offers from Vancouver, just one of those things where the fit isn't great since the Sabres don't seem like they need to move him. That makes valuation difficult since the practical part of the return (what did he just go for when he was struggling in Minnesota) vs. what would make the Sabres take note of an offer now (too rich IMO for the Canucks to make that sort of offer given other roster wants).

I'm expecting the Canucks to go shopping and I keep coming back to the Kraken as a possible roster rental situation. If Greenway were to fall off or somehow fall out of favor, I'm sure they would probably come back around to the idea of moving him and probably for something similar to what they paid Minnesota.

I was poking fun at the apparent trend, relax. Have a look at the 2nd post... lol

 

[Mrfenn92]

Don’t see really any reason for buffalo going for this.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

You can have Olofsson.

that's why they acquired him.

Podkilzin does nothing. Buffalo has prospect wingers up the wazoo who are younger than him In Quinn, Peterka, Savoie, kulich, Ostlund, Brnson, poltapov, Wahlberg.

other than Willander, there isn’t much I’d be asking for from Vancouver.

You wouldnt ask for the current WJC MVP (Lekkerimaki) or a young right shot Dman who leads the OHL scoring ( Brustewicz) for Greenway?

Greenway's value must have skyrocketed since last year where he was traded for a 2nd and 5th.

He is more valuable than a two and a five that he has treated for last year. That was his value when he was down. Right now, I don’t think the Sabres would accept less than the first round pick for him or an equivalent prospect because they’re not looking to get draft picks back they’re looking to win. So unless you can give us some thing that will be parlayed into a trade that will help us immediately to do that or way overpay, it’s not going to happen. He’s actually much more of the player that we hoped he would be then the one we traded for initially when we got them.

Also, no offense, but the article shows me that the writer knows nothing about the Buffalo Sabres. He’s anything but an expendable piece on their team and he has a contract through next year. Why would they be wanting to trade him if they think he is a part of their team. also, until the they are offucially officially out of it, they are not selling off pieces anytime soon…

Help now players that i feel are available are Kuzmenko and Hoglander, Myers.

 

[Cogburn]

In spite of what he brings, I wouldn't give more then a mid round pick up for him. I'm sure he'd fetch more, and by no means want to say he's only worth that, but we are up to our gills in bottom six players, guys that were meant to help our PK and even size in some of our younger guys.

Plus cap wise, we are cooked until Kuzmenko, Myers or someone is moved out.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

If the Canucks want to do something stupid like trade Lekkermaki then sure. Makes zero sense for Buffalo to move him.

 

[biturbo19]

I can definitely see why. He's big, he can be physical when he feels like it. He's pretty fast. That's an element that is lacking in the Canucks roster right now.

Kind of curious after the way he departed Minnesota, that they'd have enough confidence in their room to take on a potential "problem child". But i guess that speaks to the way they've calmed whatever mess they had in the room. Also, winning cures all.

Buffalo has Ostlund ( his center), Benson, Savoie, Kulich, Peterka, Quinn, and others.

buffalo doesn’t need a one dimensional PMD.

No interest in any of them.

He came out of team UUSa development camp and knew Granato.

 

[dirtydanglez]

where greenway has another year left this seems more likely an offseason move.

what would buffalo even want. they could use a goalie but that doesnt seem like a fit.

 

[Siludin]

It's funny I had Greenway on my radar the year the Canucks drafted Boeser. Greenway sorta "fell" to the 2nd round (it was a deep draft) and I'm certainly happy the Canucks drafted Boeser. It would be nice to have both!

Ahhh, yes, there's the link. I didn't put that together. But that's absolutely it.
