Confirmed with Link: [VAN/BOS] Canucks acquire F Jack Studnicka for G Mikey DiPietro, D Jonathan Myrenberg

[RobertKron]

Myrenberg has a much more NHL ready name, so colour me skeptical I guess.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Rough go for DiPietro here.

Glad he got his trade.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

I like Studnika but in the end likely meaningless trade

This is a Benning-like move. Moving a younger prospect for someone who was further along in his development

 

[Hit the post]

Only reason to be a bit miffed about losing a D prospect is because of the absolute negligent job Jim Benning did when it came to drafting and developing defensemen over his eight year reign paired with the constant lack of pick volume and quality.

Forsling is looking pretty good right now.

 

[brock hughes007]

We need defenseman, let get a forward

 

[orcatown]

Seems like another short term thinking trade and probably another indication of how poor the organization has been and maybe still is.

Myrenburg was lauded at camp and seen as having real potential. Boston obviously thinks the same and are willing to wait.

Studnika has been given every opportunity to prove himself but hasn't panned out at the NHL level so Boston unloads him for some futures. I guess a short term replacement for Lazar and probably if Lazar s doesn't get hurt we don't make the trade. Might as well have kept Highmore and juggled the 4th line.

DePietro horribly developed b/c like we need him to sit around right now in case we need him. Kept him on the taxi squad for some bizarre reason rather than allowing him e to develop in the minors.

Looks to be that team is still in patchover mode rather than getting on with the needed rebuild or whatever you want to call it.

Buzzards will soon be descending on the Canucks to take away any future the team has and pass on other failed players.

 

[Red]

We need RD prospects so we trade an RD prospect away. Makes total sense.

 

[Canucks LB]

Scouting report from @PlayMakers

He's big, fast, not afraid of contact, good defensively, good shorthanded, was a prolific AHL player, led the league in shorthanded goals. He's smart, he makes clever passes, he can play center and right wing, but he's also light and gets knocked off the puck easily.

He never got confident at the NHL level, he also never really got a stretch in the NHL where he could get adjust and get comfortable.

IMO, the Bruins botched his development. The Bruins, under Sweeney, have maintained that a rookie has to beat out a veteran to get a spot in the lineup. And since Sweeney keeps signing free agents it's really effin hard to beat one out. If you're an 'offensive' guy then you have to beat out a top9 guy.

Last summer they told him to add some strength and be prepared to have a good camp. He spent the summer in the gym, added 10lbs, had a great camp... and was sent down because the Bruins had no NHL roster spots, they would have had to waive someone to keep him up.

He absolutely can be a 3c and after his big season in Providence it looked like he could be a 2c but his development stalled here.

Thank you play!

Thank you play!

No problem. I hope he does well for you guys. Good luck!

 

[Gstank]

Hopefully Studnicka can play a 3rd/4th line PK role effectively for the team this season. It would really hope our C depth to have 5 guys who can potential play C if Injuries come.

Now if only our Dman could not get injuried by picking their noses

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

No problem. I hope he does well for you guys. Good luck!

yo play where kid at

 

[Nucker101]

Undefeated in the Studnicka era

 

[arttk]

Yeah Bo is gone

 

[tradervik]

Now we get to watch Myrenberg develop into a Forsling on the Bruins

Scores the 2031 Stanley Cup game winner against us

The Canucks make it to the finals again? I like your optimism!

 

[HockeyWooot]

Good trade, change of scenery swap to a reallocate to a position of need.

 

[mossey3535]

Honestly, this organization can't trade any defence prospects at any stage of development because there are so few of them to begin with.

However, the next worse area we have is Center. So I get it.

I think if the so-called "retool" is going to work, they're going to have to luck out on some late picks blossoming relatively quickly. That could have included this guy. I would rather gamble on defence prospects that we have in hand than gamble on forwards as a general philosphy.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

This type of trade gives me PTSD from the Benning era but at least getting a usable RH Center who could PK would be a win at this point.
I hate to give up RHD depth when we have so little of it thanks to Benning making trades like this. Saying that, Myrenberg is a long term long shot who is replaceable in the prospect pool but once in awhile guys like him become decent NHLers.
DiPietro is a failed prospect, I don’t see an NHL future for him but he deserves a shot with another organization even if it’s just as a depth guy.

 

[krutovsdonut]

giving up a very young prospect who is progressing with upside potential is not a conventional deck shuffle hockey trade. i am sure that is what the bruins went for.

this trade i think was done out of perceived necessity.

 

[arttk]

Yeah Bo is i

I think the plan is to trade Bo, Pearson, Garland so now we have at least a center to cover for Bo.

 

[Scorvat]

we traded for a younger defender prosepect for an older center prospect. meh, This is the type of shot in the dark trades they needr . Hope they are right

Seems like we got our "guadette" back

 

[Cancuks]

Yeah Bo is i

More likely Studnicka will find himself playing on the top line RW next game, Miller will shift back to C and Horvat will be on the third line. Cuz Canucks doing Canucks things.

 

[F A N]

I don't mind taking a stab at Jack but losing Myrenberg sucks. This feels a bit like shades of the Forsling trade.

I like Dipietro and still believe in him, but trading him seemed him like a foregone conclusion and he isn't worth much so whatever.

Trading any Dmen when you have almost zero in the system is a bad idea. Why not give them McDonough instead seeing as he won't be signing with us.

 

[Cancuks]

Studnicka is a right shot center so this is strictly to replace Lazar. Horvat isn't going anywhere until trade deadline day unless the team goes on a 3 game winning streak then he's automatically re-signed to 8 years $53 million+
