Speculation: Predict the Next Canucks Trade

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

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

Hutton would be a great trading chip...although,it will most likely be MDZ at the TDL ,which is a drag because I've really liked his play..and what he's brought to the team (a leader)....Good signing by Benning,..MDZ's a lot better then what I anticipated him to be.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Mostly agree, I've been quite happy w MDZ, and if we turn his solid play and very reasonable contract into a nice prospect or late 1st at the deadline it would be a fantastic bit of GM'ing. In my head MDZ was a total wimp who was incompetent in his own zone and that hasn't been the case at all.

*I don't think it's likely we trade him

MDZ has been a fine signing. But I'd much much rather trade him than Hutton. Ben been's maligned, but he's played pretty well too this season. And he's younger and can grow with the team.

As above poster said, if we can liquidate MDZ into a solid future piece, I'd be very happy.

MDZ has an A on his jersey. He's getting an extension.

I still think Slater Koekkoek, who was rumoured to be a target earlier this year, sounds like the exact sort of player Benning goes after. Guessing one more injury on D and Benning pulls the trigger on Subban + 2nd/3rd for Koekkoek. If not an injury, then maybe something based around Gudranson for Koekkoek at the deadline.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

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

 

[JuniorNelson]

Obviously, the thing to do is move the older players at the deadline. Any faint playoff hopes should be ignored in this endeavor. I know the Sedins are saintly but this is a business, not a church. Cash them in! Other older players hold less value but should also be actively shopped.

In the real world, I would guess something around Dorsett. He is embarrassingly tough and plays hard nosed hockey! He has to go. Canucks must go with a softer line-up or they will not be a lottery team.

Dorsett for Byron.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Gagner to MTL for a 3rd

 

[Killer Orcas]

To sens
Tanev

To nux
Thomas Chabot
2019 1st rnd pick

Doubt Sens trade Chabot but I'd take him alone for Tanev if they did.

Hey MDZ has been great for team.Im totally thinking Jimbo maybe moves Gaunce for a dman when Edler gets hurt again.

Not really convinced you would get a very significant D man in return for Gaunce...

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Juolevi and a first to Montreal for Alex Galchenyuk.

 

[PunkRockLocke]

Trade Hutton now before he is worth nothing at all.

Trade Gaunce for Koekkoek

Would love to see Edler traded for a substantial pick and/or prospect

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Trade Gudbranson for a pick, and if he'll wavie, Edler for a pick + prospect.

 

[sting101]

Really looking forward to our next trade. This from the Blackhawks Gustav Forsling thread.

Another game, another impressive performance from the kid. Only Keith and Rutta had more minutes overall against the Rangers. He was 2nd in PP time among defensemen (beaten again by Keith). Only Rutta had more PK time for the defense. Also had 3 shots and saved a goal.

The hardest position to find in this league is a good top pairing defensemen. Thanks to Adam Clendening, I think we've stumbled on one for the future.​

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...

If you cannot see that Edler is effing AWFUL take up cricket....this aint the 2011 #23 anymore.

The "if you don't agree with me you don't know the game" argument, huh.

2015-current Edler is a far more rounded player that can actually handle tough defensive minutes.

He no longer benefits from all the 2nd assists from Sedin PP points, but he's a better defenseman.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Juolevi and a first to Montreal for Alex Galchenyuk.

If we trade our first, one of you can have my things.

Does Canucks general manager Jim Benning regret the trade?

“Well, no, I drafted him, I saw him lots in his draft year. I knew he was a good player. He’s a skilled player and he’s got an excellent shot. You know, where we were at when we made the deal, our guys believed in Adam Clendening and so we made the deal to give him a chance. That didn’t work out, but I move on. We’ve got Troy Stecher, and that’s a similar type player. He’s going to be a real good player for us moving forward.”



Next trade... Gudbranson + 2nd for ? (roster player)

 

[PM]

It's quotes like that which really make me hate being a Canucks fan right now. When will this nightmare finally end?

I wouldn't be surprised to see us trade Virtanen and a pick for an older, worse version of himself that Green will actually dress very night. Basically the Kassian trade 2.0.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Draft pick or picks for some bum who was drafted high but hasn't done anything of note since being drafted.

Gotta catch 'em all..

Really, really, really must disagree.

Well, this isn't exactly a new discussion, and there are more who do agree...so, go ahead...

To each their own.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Just waive Edler and call it a trade to whatever team is dumb enough to claim him.

 

[elitepete]

Guddy to Florida for 2nd+prospect
Burmistrov to Anaheim for 5th
Vanek to Blackhawks for 3rd+prospect
