They save on airfare because Vancouver in town?

They save on airfare because Vancouver in town?

LMFAO

 

[Acidrain66]

Wow..another draft pick...

 

[Mark Effin Stone]

Are we cornering the swedish goaltending market?

As a Swede I like it

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Soooo why are we trading a pick?

 

[BondraTime]

A backup goalie, which was sorely needed.

Having a pretty terrible year, but anything new is welcomed.

Also Melnyk getting Pyatt off the books as he's on a 1-way.

 

[RAFI BOMB]

Well Darren Archibald is a pretty physical player. I don't know if he will stick in the NHL but he could bring some entertainment when he gets his chances

 

[Back in Black]

Not a great goalie, but time will tell.

3-8-1 record with a 3.08 gaa, and a .895 save percentage this year with the "Nucks"

 

[pown]

Classic dorion pick throw in

 

[Senscore]

Soooo why are we trading a pick?

The Dorion ''tip your waiter" special

Not going to lie. That was my first thought. Lol

 

[Mark Effin Stone]

to get rid off Pyatt?

Seems kinda dumb yeah

 

[BondraTime]

Soooo why are we trading a pick?

Tom Pyatt isn't exactly a hot commodity, especially for a team who isn't pushing the playoffs full on. Pretty much eating his contract.

 

[SixthSens]

Don't really see the point of this deal. The players involved cancel each other out and then we also give up the standard throw-in draft pick.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

Nilsson replaces Pyatt's offensive contributions AND plays goalie

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Keep selling those draft picks!

 

[Deku]

I like this pick besides the pick throw-in

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Tom Pyatt isn't exactly a hot commodity, especially for a team who isn't pushing the playoffs full on. Pretty much eating his contract.

So my next question is did we add or cut salary?

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I like it

We still have 2 6th rounders next year

Nilsson is a clear upgrade and Archibald can bring a physical presence when he plays

If Nilsson and Hogberg both play OK hockey it also makes it a lot easier to trade Anderson by the deadline

So my next question is did we add or cut salary?

We add about 400k (given that we are halfway thru the season)

Don't really see the point of this deal. The players involved cancel each other out and then we also give up the standard throw-in draft pick.

I'd argue that we acquired the two best players in the deal

We still have 9 picks next year and will add more before then

Even though this is a small move, I like this from a Canucks perspective.

Make some space for Demko, get another pick, get a better player than Archibald in Pyatt. Decent move.

Archibald is a puppy at the NHL level. He's supposed to be a tough guy that plays on your 4th line. Does a lot of floating around. Great AHLer though. Fan favorite in Utica where he will sorely be missed. Just like Demko

Most interesting thing here is the Canucks now have 3 6th round picks in 2019.

 

[Deku]

Nilsson isn't very good, but better than our other backup options.

 

[slamigo]

First part of rebuild. Abandon all 2019 picks.

OMG! lol
