Confirmed with Link: [VAN/CHI] Canucks acquire 5th Round Pick for F Anthony Beauvillier

[TryamkinPleaseReturn]

I like stocking up on picks... but from what I've seen of this management group, I wonder if they have a deal in place to swap the pick out in another trade... I wonder if Tanev or Zadorov

 

[thecupismine]

I thought we were going to have to pay to get rid of him. Getting even a 5th in return is a win. Clears enough space for Bear to come back + potentially more.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

From 1st round pick to 5th round pick in bout a year.

Crazy.

 

[Petey O]

Wow this is awesome. D-man incoming?

 

[Jay Cee]

Good deal.

 

[hellstick]

Love it. Nice piece of business to deal with our logjam at wing. I'm sure this organization wants to be in a position to give a look to a few of our prospects in Abbotsford as well.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

According to Sportsnet it’s a 2024 pick

so a late 4th

 

[Vector]

It’s not Friday!

i dont know what you are on if you think Bear will cost anything significant on cap

Bear's contract plus OEL's buyout.
Bear is too small. A bandaid for a gapping wound.
Think playoffs. The Canucks would have the smallest defence, well they are pretty close now only Minny is smaller and they just lost a ton of games, Canucks would be even smaller

Both him and Hronek have had surgeries recently. Not all go as well as Hronek is right now.
They aren't like Tommy John surgery that actually improves the performance.
Most don't do as well as Hronek is right now. How long will it last?
How many NHL players have has shoulder surgery?
Virtanen did and he ended up hurting it again 4 times. Missed a lot ot games and never had the same wrist shot or hit as hard again.

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

Bear, Kessel, Puljujarvi?​

 

[LemonSauceD]

If they’re gonna sign Bear they have 3 more days left after today

Idk what you are on to think :
1. Bear is going to get more than 1 tear
2. The OEL buyout has anything to do with this deal

Wierd to use Hronek as an example on why not to sign Bear.

 

[Vector]

Really impressed with this deal. To dump 4.15m of dead weight in November while getting back a draft pick is very impressive.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

No retention freeing up +4M? Very nice.

 

[Diversification]

Actually, we upgraded our 5th with this trade.

 

[MS]

Great move to dump a $4 million cap hit for a guy with 1 ES goal in 22 games and not have to retain.

Started promisingly last year but this season has simply not been good enough and guys like Aman and Bains can take that roster spot and we lose nothing.

Classic tweener. Undersized, not skilled enough for top-6, but also not really a high-leverage checker and doesn’t PK.

Have you seen this team defense? They need depth and this isn't even taking into account a potential and likely trade for another d-man

 

[drax0s]

I'm pretty sure the the Hawks flip Beau at the deadline for more than we got, but I don't REALLY care about the asset value that much because the $4m in cap space likely makes our team better.

 

[orcatown]

So Horvat and a mid round first, a second and a fifth for Raty, Hronek and a fourth and fifth. Given Horvat was unsignable (and undesirable at the price) and the play of Hronek, I would say the trade was good. Although this is contegent on re-signing Hronek.

Said in the last game report, I was done with Beauvillier and so don't see much loss here. Maybe Chicago thinks they can get more for him at the dealine?

Clearly getting the cap space is essential if the team is to add any quality on the back-end and you have to wish someone like Tanev will be avialable at a decent price.

Not entirerly sold on Bear unless he comes on a team friendly (both cost and term wise) contract.

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Why would Chicago give up draft capital here? No reason for them to, Beau is a cap dump

 

[Petey O]

Feels so good to have competent management. You never worry that they're going to make a dumb desperation trade.

 

[Vector]

Announcement timing is still silly. They really like to trade players an hour before puck drop.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Would have been nice to do a larger package for Murphy but oh well.

Likely have something else in mind.

Davidson’s in a state of shock right now. Probably desperate to get someone into the line-up that can play some top-6 minutes, will be a UFA, and is known as a good guy.
