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

[NyQuil]

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

I like your plucky confidence, it's adorable.

 

[AHLdepth]

Does this not just sound like Van wants a Myers for Zaitsev straight up, and the rationale is yes they pay more in cap, but get a better player.

And Ottawa is saying we want a pick with Myers for the extra cap.

And they'll settle on something like Myers + late pick for Zaitsev and every Van fan will lament the day they ever decided to become a fan of this team

Chabot and Myers is going to be a heck of a pairing for you guys. This should be a great time of excitement for you!

 

[UrbanImpact]

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

and the Canucks would probably much rather wait until he is a free agent in the offseason rather than losing someone like Podkolzin if thats what it would take to get Zub.

Will be interesting to see what transpires, it seems both teams have been trying to hammer down a trade with eachother for a couple of weeks now and its close to being done.

Those extra two points you have in the standings says a lot about how competitive your team is in a much weaker conference.

A lot of delusions of grandeur in here.

I'm sure they would.

They'd just be competing with around 20 other teams.

Any team could use a Zub, including Ottawa by the way.

We got off to a horrible start but have looked much better ever since.

1) We punted LA
2) We should have beaten Vegas (blew a multiple goal lead in the 3rd)
3) We just defeated the defending Stanley Cup champs on their home-ice.

This team is clearly trending upwards on the backs of an improved defense (Bear's presence has pushed down Myers), combined with great goaltending (Martin instead of Demko). Pettersson, Horvat, and Miller are among the best players in the game right now while Luke Schenn has stepped up his game as well. Boeser is leading the league with secondary assists.

If that is the trade then Van fans need to concerned big time.

That would indicate

Canucks will be fine in trying to convince him to come to Van as a UFA.

we have recent successfull history with his agent, team has Russians, Vancouver the city will sell itself, spot to be partnered with Hughes.

Those are some good selling points. No gurantees but im sure we will be in the thick of it come ufa time.

Well, good luck to you.

This is the Myers you want to trade to Ottawa in return for their best defensive defenceman and he has a $6M cap hit for this season and the next?

Ottawa could just re-sign Zub for $6M.

How much were you guys planning on paying Zub?

 

[McJedi]

Myers for Zub and Zaitsev incoming

More like Zub for Jonathan Lekkerimäki.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Funny that anyone thinks they are getting zub for Myers straight up

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

If this management gives up more picks

I think we really could be one more 3rd round pick being spent to turn this all around.

 

[UrbanImpact]

I wanna laugh with you, where did someone say that?

Man oh man this is a funny thread to read through

nope

 

[xVolchenkov]

Are Vancouver fans really this out to lunch? Zub for Myers? I know it's Friday but isn't it a little early in Vancouver to be this drunk?

 

[Wandering Cynic]

Deal

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

The ‘whichever side’ language seems to sugggest you think the two assets are so close in value it’s not even clear which side would need to add. When most people here are thinking that it’s obvious which side would need to add, and not a small piece either.

However little it may be (3rd) Myers has positive value and Zaitsev has negative value.

Would be a very substantial add from Vancouver, one that I’m sure HF Canucks would scoff at.

How does a $6M defenceman who should be playing on the bottom pairing have positive value?

 

[BondraTime]

With a 5 million dollar signing bonus in July.

I’m sure the owner-less, extremely cheap Sens are going to trade positive value for that.

It is an incredibly dumb management group, so that is definitely a possibility.

 

[krutovsdonut]

i would like to better understand the dubious asssumption underlying this discussion that myers does not have ottawa on his no trade list.

do people figure he spelled senators wrong and the canucks believe they found a loophole? does myers maybe love deer flies? is myers very upset that swiss chalet hs left the bc market and craving rotisserie chicken?

Saved by his contract.

 

[sennysensen]

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.

If Zub is going to walk, won't even sign an overpay deal with term near the deadline, Sens have to trade him at the deadline. He's a valuable asset for a team that wants to make a run and need a RHD that can defend well, and move the puck well for a defensive guy. Should be able to get a good prospect, and or picks. They can't afford to lose him for nothing, and if they can't even overpay him, that's a big hint

 

[NyQuil]

I’m sure the owner-less, extremely cheap Sens are going to trade positive value for that.

I went looking for a positive reference:

On Connor Timmins:

What team would be stupid or desperate enough to go after him?

Probably the same GM that trades for Myers

Value of: - Conor Timmins

All indications he gets dealt sometime soon. What do the Coyotes get for him?
