Fantasy GM Thread | Part 9

[Bob Cajun]

So Imac saying this morning that there are a lot of teams interested in Tanner Pearson. Please god, for once, let this team manage their expiring assets the way they are supposed to. Trade Pearson for the best offer you can get. If you really want to sign him back, shoot your shot to re-sign in the offseason

 

[canuckking1]

Getting a 2nd round pick for Pearson would be this seasons Stanely cup.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

This is a prime example of how to move dead cap space (Connolly type contract)... attach a later pick and 2 younger players that are not top end prospects.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

Plugging one hole and springing another..

Is the valuation at least appropriate

Bowen Byram is the young player I want the most of this team, Colorado is gonna have some cap issues when they need to resign Jost, Makar and Landeskog.

If we took back Grub?

I only propose it as we don’t have anything else Colorado needs. I’m a big Demko fan but you can get by with adequate goaltending and you can’t get anywhere with lousy Defense

Florida creating cap space, not that they really needed it. Have to assume they are looking at picking up some D, because wow, does their back end look rough without Ekblad

Would be extremely tempting for both teams I think. Demko to Colorado would be setting them up for a dynasty IMO. Byram could be exactly what we need on D for the next decade. I almost feel Colorado needs to add (assuming Grub is a cap dump). Demko is the more proven commodity.

 

[iceburg]

Is Alex Edler available for trade? Would he waive his NMC?

Going with his family to a sunny local for 4 months where people are actually vaccinated....might be enticing to him...

 

[canuckking1]

I wonder if OJ could have that value of a prospect that intrigues a rebuilding team like Chicago to take some cap. Borgstrom is a similar type of prospect.

 

[kanucks25]

Is Alex Edler available for trade? Would he waive his NMC?

Doubt it, on both accounts.

 

[Tonystretcher]

Wouldn’t mind claiming Caggiula. Only makes 700k and having another body might make a Pearson trade easier.

 

[CanuckleBerry]

I would argue that a team like Colorado could make very good use of a cost-controlled, versatile forward like JT Miller.

Agreed that the valuation is appropriate...Not sure I agree that 'adequate' goaltending is good enough, especially after looking at teams that have been let down by their goaltending for years (Oilers, Leafs and Flames)...especially in the playoffs.
At some point though, the Canucks are going to have to acquire a blue chip D-man, and it wont be cheap.

The draft

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

The draft

Agreed...maybe this one...conversely though, we've all seen what happens when the team picks for a positional need?

 

[Bettman Returnz]

How shocked would anyone be if... not only do we not trade but also resign Pearson and/or sutter??

 

[rypper]

Canucks can't even consider a Demko - Byram swap because the next in line hasn't played a game of hockey for 12+ months.

 

[rypper]

Epic fail. It would feel like 2016 all over again.

 

[Nazzlind]

Miller for Newhook +

 

[canuckking1]

I don't think Avs can fit Miller in their cap structure. Grubauer Landeskog and Makar are due for big raises and they'll be losing a guy like Saad already.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Finding it hard to even get excited for this trade deadline. Won’t be the same. Can’t imagine there will be a ton of deals. Not to mentioned Canucks will probably do nothing so there’s that too..

Sutter for a 4th with 50% retention gets me excited. Or straight up for a 6th round pick

Yup I’d do this in a heart beat! But Benning...

 

[CanuckleBerry]

Podkolzin is Pearson's replacement next season. Period. Move on.

Sigh...
