Rumor: Dhaliwal- Multiple sources informing Dhaliwal that Vancouver and Ottawa are still actively talking trade

[UrbanImpact]

Dhaliwal, probably the most connected Canuck insider, says that he has heard from multiple sources that the Canucks and Sens are still in a heated conversation regarding a trade.

There was of course speculation last week that a Myers for Zaitsev ( plus other players) deal was close to being done but the 2 teams couldnt agree on adding or not addint an asset based on Myers being owed a hefty 5mil dollar bonus this July 1.

Will be interesting to follow to see if something gets done by this weekend but Dhaliwal is not one to speculate without concrete source that something is close or in the works.

better not be for Formenton. Zub please.

 

[Korpse]

Zub please.

Why would it be Zub?

 

[Breakers]

If this management gives up more picks

better not be for Formenton. Zub please.

If the speculation is centered around Myers and Zaitsev - you’re in a different ballpark, league, and sport to start talking Zub.

Zaitsev/Myers would be a change of scenery deal for irrelevant players. Zub is a fantastic solid top 4. It’s not the same discussion

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Myers for Zaitsev + 2023 2nd

 

[UrbanImpact]

Would love Zub. He would be an excellent D partner for Hughes

Nobody trades for a guy like Formenton that is suspected to be one of the John Does on the Team Canada sex scandal.

Speculation is the key word, nobody actually confirmed it was Zaitsev the Canucks were targeting last week. It just so happened that Zaitsev's name was brought up because he was just placed on waivers.

For all we know the framework is Myers for Zub with assets added from whichever side.

Zub would be a fantastic target for the Canucks.

Zaitsev for Myers just seems like a lateral move based on financial savings.

 

[Akrapovince]

If it’s clear that Zub doesn’t want to extend, I still think we should hold onto him and let him walk (while trying to convince him until the very last second).

The trickle down pressure losing Zub will cause to our already fragile defensive core is not worth whatever he returns + losing him.

We need a culture change, I have no idea how the room will react to selling in November.

Do Canucks fans actually think they're good enough to be trading for rentals?

Assets added from whichever side???

If there were discussions about Zub there would be a lot more teams connected to the speculation and the timing makes no sense right now.

If its Zub obviously they would be targeting him to resign him long term.

Canucks Russian contingency has improved lately with the additions of Podkolzin, Mikhayev and Kuzmenko

Regardless if they trade for him or not, i believe Zub will be a big time target for the Canucks if he hits free agency.

Myers and Podkolzin to Ottawa for Zub (sign and trade) + B level prospect

 

[krutovsdonut]

well why not both?

dhaliwal's main sources are agents. milstein is zub and zaitsev's agent and also the agent of kuzmenko, mikhaeyev and klimovich on the canucks. dhaliwal was all over the signing of each of those canucks.

We just beat Colorado in Colorado's home ground the other day.........with our back-up goalie.

You do the math.

Myers and Podkolzin to Ottawa for Zub (sign and trade) + B level prospect

Er, what?

Why is Ottawa kicking in a prospect for the Chaos Giraffe (who has a $6M cap hit for next season) and an underwhelming player?

This whole thread is hilarity.

Podkolzin has a huge ceiling......that's why.

No thanks.

 

[Wandering Cynic]

Myers for Zub and Zaitsev incoming

 

[bandwagonesque]

Because Zub is a UFA and Podkolzin is 21.

Podkolzin scored 14 goals as a 20 yr old rookie. He is going through the sophomore slump for sure but underwhelming is not a word id describe him.

 

[EpochLink]

If Myers and/or OEL is going to Ottawa then I’m all for it.

f*** Myers

 

[NyQuil]

Meh, I'd rather wait until a contender ponies up something actually significant for Zub.

 

[Ruthervin]

No thanks.

It's happening whether you like it or not pal.
