Most valuable Vancouver Canuck! Part 1 of 10

[Addison Rae]

Who do you believe holds the highest value to the Vancouver Canucks organization, note that this means trade value (but not league wide trade value, pretend GM's weren't morons and actually knew what they were doing) so factor in age, contract and obviously on ice product!

Thought this would be a fun poll to conduct, have at her.

[Addison Rae]

Voted Tanev

 

[DL44]

Henrik on the strength of bringing elite level playmaking for probably the next 3 yrs... Would bring in a haul in a trade.

 

[Addison Rae]

Edited the OP a little, GM's are stupid and overvalue stupid things so instead of focusing on their perceived trade value pretend that all GM's are smart and actually know what they're doing.

 

[DL44]

And.. Dare I say it... You're missing Ryan Miller.

Gotta consider there are teams that will seek goaltending before other positions...

*Duck fans*

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Horvat/Tanev
Hank

Horvat has a ton of potential, 2 way C, very valuable to GM's. Tanev is flat out our best player.

 

[Addison Rae]

And.. Dare I say it... You're missing Ryan Miller.

I'll add him in the next poll.

 

[jetsforever]

voted Horvat, sedins are close, mccann's value is likely growing now

 

[WTG]

25 year old top RHD top pairing defenseman on a good deal signed long term.

IT's gotta be Tanev.

 

[Pip]

Horvat

Young two-way centres with good offensive upsides are worth their weight in gold.

 

[Havre]

I voted Henrik, but it is all quite theoretical as he wouldn't be traded (NTC and the link Daniel).

Would be a PPG (or close to it) for 5 more years in the right team with a decent PP.

 

[donut]

The young guy with the beautiful hair.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Horvat

Young two-way centres with good offensive upsides are worth their weight in gold.

Eh, ~200 pounds of gold is worth only just over $3m. I'd like to think he can make more than that on an annual basis in his prime.

 

[Thad Castle]

Chris " Hot in herre" Tanev

 

[Nucker101]

Voted Tanev

 

[racerjoe]

I wanted to do a write in for a young future top four dman Sbisa!

No seriously voted Hank, was real hard, but I think reputation carries here. For some reason Tanev isn't exposed like other dman close to his talent, Bo and the rest of the kids aren't there yet, and Edler has enough hicups.

 

[drax0s]

Protest vote for Henrik because I couldn't vote for Sbisa.

 

[a Fool]

Sedins
Tanev
Bo
2016 1st

 

[Huggy]

Horvat is 20, let that sink in

 

[kanucks25]

Neither McCann nor Horvat are projected to be legit 1C's like Henrik is (not saying it's impossible, just the current projection), so based on that I'll take the guy who chews up and spits out the top players in the league every night in Tanev.

Henrik is probably the most valuable in general but at his age, I think he gets downgraded a bit there.

Don't think Edler, Daniel, Vrbata or the 1st pick should be on this list.

I don't know much about him but does Demko have a high chance of being a legit 1G? If so, he could be added.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Horvat.

Henrik is 35 so his value has diminished significantly. He will never win a Stanley Cup here, whereas Horvat has the potential to be a big piece of a potential future Cup team.

 

[Jyrki21]

Just to clarify, this is a discussion only of acquisition value (i.e. not value to the Canucks' makeup) in a world where opposing GMs have perfect information, right?

I don't see how a guy in his mid-30s would command more than a young guy, although I suppose it's possible after, say, a bidding war at the deadline.

Actually, that's a relevant consideration too -- under what circumstances are we considering value? In a vacuum? At the trade deadline? Right now? Are contracts relevant (e.g. impending UFA or ELC or what have you)?

 

[Serac]

I went with Horvat
Young two-way center who still has tons upside, while still on his ELC is huge

He'd fit on literally any team in the league, and still has tons of room for growth

Love Hank, but that 7m contract would be hard to fit on some teams
And I doubt other teams would pay top dollar for a (very amazing) shut down D-man in Tanev

If Hutton keeps up his level of play, I'd almost poise him as #2 after Horvat

 

[Addison Rae]

It's pretty close right now, so I'd like to keep this open for a bit longer.

 

[ahmon]

if we are including prospects and even the 1st rounder in 2016, Boeser needs to be in the discussion.

He's more valuable than half the players on this list easily.

Right now should be Tanev with Horvat in 2nd.

Sedins are 35, value isn't that high at all.
