Rumor: Friedman: Canucks have shown interest on Marcus Johansson and Andrei Burakovsky

[Horse McHindu]

**** Johanssom and **** Benning.

Who is Johanssom and what did Matt Benning ever do to you?

Wondering the same thing. Personal vendetta?

Marcus Johansson, let's load up on Swedes to make Mr. Petey happy.

We just need to magically develop Dahlen into a top 6 winger for Petey.

methinks loading up on actual good players will make mr petey even happier

Thank god Friedman is one of the worst at scoops. I expect none of this to happen.

 

[VanJack]

The Baertschi long-term injury and Goldy's wobbly development path has made finding a decent, young scoring left-winger a priority. So I could see the Canucks having some interest in Burakovsky.

But he's been on a wobbly development path of his own with the Caps and has been a healthy scratch a few times. Another talented player who's never broken through, and is now 23.

If the Canucks could do something around Brandon Sutter or Marcus Granlund, I'd be OK with it. But please, no draft picks!

Johansson sucks and so does our GM

Instead of Johannson, how bout Miles Wood? I could live with Burakovsky if we, say, as much as i like him, trade Goldobin for him. Johannson just doesn't make sense on so many levels, starting with the cost, which will be a 2nd rounder+.

Don't we have a ton of Miles Woods? The bottom 6 is loaded. Do we really need another one? I'd consider Wood for Granlund/Goldobin, but we are clogged up in the bottom 6 as is.

Those kind of trades im good with.

No to either of these guys. We need actual talent. Quit hunting in the bargain bin hoping for a unicorn.

Jimbo

Jimbo can't help himself. I think a big part of the problem is that he watches a lot of these guys playing and dominating in their amateur leagues and gets enamored with them. And for some reason he blocks out or rationalizes away their erratic development as pros.

So when another NHL GM is at the point where he needs to dump a former high draft pick, the Canucks are only a phone call away.
