Speculation: Predict the Next Canucks Trade

[Ace of Hades]

Virtanen and a 4th for Andrew Shaw.

Shaw becomes another foundational player for the team.

 

[Kryten]

Granlund and a 5th for Athanasiou

 

[Melvin]

Hutton for Jankowski

 

[Bad Goalie]

I'm thinking it's just a matter of timing before Tallon pushes the right buttons to get Gudbranson.

There was a piece at the beginning in the provies mentioning the Canucks having had interest in Jayce Hawryluk before, so I'll go with him and a 4th for Gudbranson.

He has 5 points in 14 GP for Springfield. Valk is their leading scorer with 15 and has been called up to Florida for tonight's game in Florida. Looks like a trade for the wrong Springfield center.

Cripes Hamilton has 3 in 6GP for Utica. Acquiring Jayce in a trade would not be the swiftest move.

 

[BassMason]

Boeser + for E. Kane. Vancouver collectively takes out a hit on the entire management team.

 

[valkynax]

Benning trades Tanev and 2nd round pick to Buffalo for E.Kane. Because PLAYOFFS baby!!!!!

 

[Bad Goalie]

I thought Valk was about to get a shot with the big club? not sure why he'd be moved now.

My guess is the Canucks would have brought Valk back on an AHL contract but didn't want to use one of their NHL contracts on him. That's why the Subban trade makes some sense because it would be a NHL contract for a NHL contract.

Don't be foolish and make sense.

The trade rumor wasn't actually a rumor it was a suggestion in the crowd in a discussion taking place among some guys. It got overheard, picked up some speed, and must have moved about the Aud and then into the community and here we are.

 

[Cancuks]

Juolevi, Gagner, 2018 1st for PK Subban

 

[MS]

Gudbranson and a 5th to Ottawa or Toronto for a 2nd round pick.

 

[Tryamkin]

To sens
Tanev

To nux
Thomas Chabot
2019 1st rnd pick

I would do that every day of the week

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Juolevi, Gagner, 2018 1st for PK Subban

That is actually a pretty good trade

It's funny about his precious contracts. He holds them like precious metal when they get short in number, but blows them ahead of that on guys like Carcone, Laplante, and Stewart. Valk was strung along on AHL contracts for 3 seasons, paid his dues, and proved his worth by becoming the Comets #2 scorer last season at center and was simply released. He was not what I would have targeted based on the quality AHL centers that the NHL doesn't want, but he would have been welcomed with open arms on this roster and filled in very well. Let's face it who do you play first Bancks (a wing/#1PK), Hamilton (an energy line center/PK), Megna (another better fit for the wing), Cassels (ECHL), Darcy (ECHL), Woods (reserve forward), or Curtis Valk (last yr's #2 scorer and this season's #1 scorer in AHL Springfield). The answer is a no brainer for anyone who has watched that group at center.

I'll give a nod to Chaput as an adequate center, but not giving evidence of a play making #1 as of today. He has played 11 games and Bancks has outscored him and Goldobin leads the team with 14 points and Chaput has assisted on only 2 of his goals. They both assisted together on 2 other goals. Chaput has 7 points and 6 are on the PP. He has been nonexistent at even strength where a playmaker needs to shine.

 

[FOurteenS inCisOr]

Edler for .........anything.

Right, because this team should be happy with "anything" for a capable, affordable top-4 D and one of the team's only valuable trade chips...

 

[dellzor]

Gudbranson + giga add for Reinhart /s

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Nilsson and J. Subban for Oscar Dansk and Vegas's third pick.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Burmistrov + Gudbranson = McCann + Petrovich

Yes, I went there.

 

[sting101]

Gudbranson and Granlund for RNH

 

[JAK]

Rodin, Subban, Carcone and a 2nd for Evander Kane.

Gudbranson to Florida for a 3rd for the cap space as Panthers went on a run and push for playoffs.

 

[member 105785]

Gudbranson and Granlund for RNH

Not even close to what EDM is looking for. RNH has been among their best players this season.

Also, I'm gonna say 2 veteran status AHL players for 2 non veteran status AHL players

 

[Wo Yorfat]

I'll say we trade garbage and a pick for some garbage.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Jordan Subban and a third for Dustin Brown.

*bonus prediction: Benning and Linden sign extensions as the Canucks are still in hailing distance of the sixteenth and final playoff spot in January

 

[Havre]

I would do that every day of the week

Unfortunately Ottawa wouldn't.

What I like with this management is that you have really no clue what they are going to do next.

Wouldn't be surprised if they traded a 2nd for another reclamation project - that would give us that play-off boost

It's a contract year for the gm so I'd have my bags packed if I were a draft pick. This gm is a proven pick trader, even in what most people consider to be rebuild times, I'd say no pick is off the table right now if the right deal comes along. Or maybe even if the wrong deal comes along.

 

[bossram]

Hutton for Jankowski

I think it's a near certainty - particularly with Pouliot's emergence - that we trade Hutton for something quite stupid relatively soon.

Shame, because we could actually have a solid defense corps this year:

Edler - Pouliot
Hutton - Tanev
MDZ - Stecher

 

[Bleach Clean]

Trading Hutton would be very stupid at this point. He's progressing. Just needs conversion rates back on his side. Would be really foolish to move him.

But, they are starting to get overloaded on the left side as an organization. Something's gotta give.
