Trade Deadline Thread: GOLDEN CHAOS

[Billy Kvcmu]

Missed out on Ruewhedl too



down so bad

lol what?

Not every player traded was a miss

No retention on Toffoli

The Carolina deals are very interesting. Obviously they paid the price for the big fish in Guentzel. The Kuznetsov deal is something. Clearly they are trying to diversify their offensive creation away from just spray-and-pray and toward more dangerous chances. Anecdotally, I've noticed them trying to do this as well watching a few games (where I frustratingly bet on the opposition goalie's saves prop).

Kuz might just be done as an NHLer at this point, and RBA will hate him, but it seems (and with acquiring a rental) that their organizational philosophy is changing.

 

[TruGr1t]

The people completely forgot that Kuzmenko was dumped in that trade?

There’s a very good chance nobody else would take him, we would not have the cap space for both of them imo

Literally, no way to know this is true. Even if you had to retain on Kuzmenko there would have been a lot more you could do.

I wonder if they try Joshua in the top 6 with Lindholm finding his groove on the third line.

The cap might be hampering us on any winger trade or Kessel signing as well.

Not sure about any D acquisition unless they can make the roster and beat Juulsen and Friedman as our 7-8. Zadorov acquisition in recent hindsight was great.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Once again here to remind everyone

Zadorov and Lindholm, hell even Friedman all count as TDL moves

 

[pahlsson]

no trades?

minimum chaos?

this trade deadline was supposed to be our stanley cup. i will NOT be following this team for the rest of the year, very disappointing

As others have said, this is a result of one spring/summer where Benning traded away a ton of picks for OEL, Garland and Dickinson and proceeded to further screw us over by signing Pearson and Dickinson to stupid term contracts.

Cleaning this mess was going to be painful. It had led to a massive deficit in picks, prospects and also resulted in dead cap space.

Im treating this thread like a GDT and posting dumb shit, I would not do most of these trades.

The assumption here is he would...still be dumped somewhere. I think it would have been fairly easy to find another taker.

Like, no. No one "forgot" Kuzmenko was traded away.

 

[Canucks LB]

It’s very simple honestly, get a top six winger, because if they don’t after getting lindholm, it was pointless, because we’re not good enough to win the cup, bearing some miracle demko run

They need to make one more trade give us a serious shot

It’s not guaranteed he would be able to get dumped, especially the longer they held them, he was really really struggling

Does 9 goal Zucker qualify?

 

[timw33]

No retention on Toffoli

Ok so that was the unretained price, meaning the retained price, or double retained price would have been even more.

Pays to have cap space at the right time.

 

[andora]

Funny how in august the goal was to make the playoffs and re sign petey

Both will be accomplished but every tom dick and harry getting auctioned is a miss?

Breathe everyone

 

[Canucks LB]

I have not seen him play much, I don’t have a good enough opinion on him

 

[Petey O]

I wouldn't call acquiring a top 6 winger 'simple' with the assets the Canucks have as untouchable.

That Mikheyev signing was a real unforced error....

 

[geebster]

While I did expect them to make a move to bolster the middle 6 or get a depth D....we made more moves than most teams already.

We got Friedman, traded Beauvilier and used the pick to get Zadorov, cleared some cap trading Studnicka then later got Lindholm, freeing up 5.5 mil next season so they could sign Petey comfortably.

All that is in season for us. Not to mention the good work of trading a 5th for Lafferty and Tanner Pearson for Casey DeSmith right before the season started.

 

[aquaweenie]

The fact Lindholm turned out to be more of a third liner for us is definitely a miss, the fact is we needed another guy for the top six and now we may not be able to afford one.

There huge value in having 3 good centers

 

[Canucks LB]

You can find one if you trade next year’s first rounder, the prices for wingers are pretty fair right now, come up with a package and get Vetrano, the bigger issue is, we’re gonna dump cap to make it work

See you in the playoffs.

 

[MS]

I’d rather do nothing than waste assets on players who don’t actually improve the team. And pretty much all of the players who would have improved the team are gone.
