Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

It's not awful but ehhhhhhhhh.

I'd probably do it but I really don't want to lose Tanev for anything.

FWIW Dreger says Benning hasn't contacted Snow. But it's Dreger so who the hell knows.

I wouldn't trade Tanev for Barrie straight up.

Boeser has extremely high upside.

Actually my 2 most untouchable canucks assets is Tanev and Boeser.

 

[WTG]

Keep in mind that is from a Avs perspective so it's going to over value their players and under value ours.

Just like we over value our players and under value theirs

But there is middle ground here.

 

[kanucks25]

Barrie might be considered a better overall player than Tanev but Tanev will end up being more valuable because of his contract.

Who knows what Barrie is going to demand...


Either way, this doesn't help us. We need more young D-men but trading one away to get one puts us right back where we were.

Let's offer them Weber and Jensen, I think the values there.

Top 4 offensive d-man and a sick sniping dude.

They won't even miss a beat.

 

[WTG]

Well in a perfect world I'd move Edler + for Barrie.

But their RHD is abysmal and they would create another hole on the right side without Barrie.

They do have money issues so maybe we can offer sheet him. I'm a huge Barrie fan

I'd pass on that. I don't think the difference between Barrie and Tanev is equal to Boeser for Bleackley (heck, I don't even fully agree that Barrie is a better d-man). I have never been high on Bleackley, and he only has 12 points in 20 games this season (tied for 8th on his team). There's also the unknown risk of Barrie's next contract. I fully expect him to ask for $5.5M+.

Replace Bleackley with Chris Bigras and I would be much more inclined to do it.

Lmao Benning hasn't even contacted Snow. R.I.P to the mod thepuckmonster.

Was it Bigras or Siemens who was like... really horrifically awful in the WJC a few years ago?

He should make the call just to test the waters but it doesn't really matter.

There's no deal to be made here. Vancouver is way too far from Manitoba and we don't have what they want.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Tanev needs to stay. It's edler that should move for an upgrade.
(Ignoring NTC)

I don't think the distance is an issue, we were one of 4 teams specifically mentioned. Even though he's from Manitoba the family member could live elsewhere in Western Canada.

As much as I would like Hamonic I'm not sure I want to see what Benning would offer. We had all the leverage in the Sutter trade and still had to give up extra assets for the pending UFA who Pittsburgh approached us about.

Yikes, ya tanev isn't going anywhere. Boeser>>>bleckley(guy taken before McCann lol).

Vancouver isn't much closer to his home than where he's currently playing.

I don't put too much weight into the fact that we were "mentioned" in the rumor. To be honest I think people just include Vancouver in a lot of rumors because we have a relatively large online fan-base which means more clicks and talk about the site/twitter handle that the rumor came from.

If family is his real priority, Minnesota is an even better choice than the Alberta teams. Closer and they'll visit the Jets more often as they're in the same division.

Eh, as pointed out with Edmonton and Calgary it's more so the more consistent direct flights and domestic travel vs international.

Also if a family member has a long term illness and they're not a spouse/child getting permanent residency for the US would be nearly impossible as the wait list is quite long.

 

[Hyzer]

bleakly can barely above 0.5ppg in the dub. no thanks. ill pass on that avs offer

If this is the case then they could have included the 3 East Canadian teams in the rumor, too.

I would assume that it would be Snow's preference to trade him out of conference.

True, but he's not exactly a superstar and it is at least a different division.

I can't speak for Snow, but if it were me, I'd have no problem sending him to Ottawa or Toronto if it was clearly the best deal.

 

[Zaddy91]

Don't trade Boesser

 

[Nuckles]

That was Bigras. But if we're judging a prospect on a few games a couple of years ago, then Kerby Rychel sucks (0 points in 7 games) and Lazar >>> Horvat.

He wants an equal player so what does it matter.
Islanders shouldn't miss a beat.

Oh I know I just thought the name was familiar.
