Trade Deadline - 02.25.2019

[NeoCanuck]

Oh my, look at that! Gustav Nyquist was asked to waive his NTC. *gasp* what a concept!

But oh no! How will they ever find a top-six winger ever again!

 

[The Drop]

He's a 4th liner. If Benning gives up picks in this deal....

It would have been a good trade if it was one for one but I should have known better

 

[canucks20]

If Canucks can get McGinn for Spooner and a couple late picks you take it and run.

They want picks...

Canes in a wild card spot, deals a player and get picks.
Canucks out of a wild card spot, deals a player and gives up picks.

Under normal circumstances sure. But considering Benning doesn't like to acquire draft picks...no.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

McGinn would be a decent bottom-6 acquisition if we didn’t already have 73 bottom-6 forwards.

Yeah I'm not sure if Benning understands that

A.)There is a roster limit
B.)The only Top 6 winger we have is Boeser.
C.)When people say this team lacks "depth" they mean in quality Top 6 forwards....not more Leivo or McGinn types.

 

[TruKnyte]

If the Canucks come out of this trade deadline with less draft picks than when they went in I'll be pretty pissed. Benning could literally do nothing and that would be better.

Or just exile Spooner to the Comets (they need warm bodies) and just keep the picks.

 

[Carl Carlson]

This team collects 30pt players like Pokémon.

Gotta catch em all.

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

I hope it isn’t if picks are involved

They would definitely have to be on our side.
Spooner has negative value.

You hope your picks turn out to be a player like McGinn and he’s still young so not a huge loss if we did/do

 

[Nucker42]

So, Winnepeg and Pitt all of the sudden have massive defensive holes... If im an opportunist I go to Edler and say your waiving your nmc.......

Go and get a 1st rounder for him ASAP....

 

[Fire Benning]

Snore on McGinn, we already have 20 million fringe forwards.

 

[NeoCanuck]

Guys I'm so depressed.

We should just make all the bottom 6 players that Benning has acquired into pokemon cards and use them as avatars.

Nope, you swing for the fences on a number of your picks and hope to get a skilled player in your top 6. Trying to get a bottom 6 player via the draft is like playing for the tie.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Hoping they are 7th rounders... 2020, 2021

Not sure why you wouldn’t be calling them up right now! Only makes sense to try and see. Doesn’t sound like contract resign on our end is close either.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

We are basically Sully in Commando.

"remember when I promised I wouldn't trade draft picks"
"That's right Jim you did"

"I lied"

 

[Bobby Digital]

If we give up Spooner and some later picks (6th or 7th) then its a good trade.

But goddamn can we just acquire some decent picks for ourselves just once.

Why is giving up picks a good trade for this team right now?

Totally.... even with Edlers current injury I can’t see his value being any higher right now....

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

I don't mind getting McGinn for basically nothing. I'm assuming we can recoup some picks pretty easily with all the deadweight around.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

The only way he can justify trading picks away (in this deal) would be because he has another trade (or 2) where he can recoup some, even better ones back.

Deadweight like Spooner cost us picks.
