Confirmed with Link: [VAN/SJ] Canucks acquire D Nick Cicek, 6th in ‘24 for F Jack Studnicka

[Aphid Attraction]

Ha, yeah, definitely not!

That argument where Weisbrod got riled up in a Jankowski discussion and forgot to refer to himself in the 3rd person and came back with a ‘No I didn’t!’ and then promptly deleted the post and left the discussion was great, though.

No I didn’t, stop making stuff up.

This is what I like about Allvin

Benning would have double downed on Studnicka

 

[The Stig]

I love small moves like this. Shows foresight. Got another U25 Dman and a pick. Give Cicek some time with Foote and hopefully he finds his path again.

 

[tantalum]

Well it had been 2 weeks since the last trade.

Seems a trade to get Studnicka a place to play while building the all important blueline depth.

I’m ok with it.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Canucks save 700k with this trade and get 6th. Nothing else really to say.

 

[ProviesGhost]

MS betting his *entire* HF Boards reputation on this guy. I think he’s lying about his age, this dude is at least 35 years old.

 

[wonton15]

Allvin is about to magically flip the 6th from this trade for some gem like Tye Kartye who’ll stick in our bottom 6

Would've liked either asset back for Stud, both is definitely an easy w

Yeah, it’s a pretty obvious win to get both a pick and a waiver-exempt young D with NHL experience back for a guy SJ could have claimed off waivers a couple weeks ago.

I dunno, he looks like a Turkish 14 year old to me.

Yep clearly cicek has shown potential, and has the qualities you gamble on developing.


Also for those interested cicek had the third worst plus minus on his team last year....

SJ at 49 contracts. Probably wanted to keep that little bit of flexibility for later. Not unusual for guys to clear waivers only to be traded later for something.

Yup.

Alvin is Prometheus.
Benning was Epimetheus.

OK, I was only in Classical Greek Studios at Langara for a week before I realized I was in way over my head.

Oh, for sure.

But they did well to leverage a lucky break that it appears that the only team that rated SJ was one of two teams at 49 contracts.

If someone in Chicago (42 contracts) liked Studnicka it obviously goes differently.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I honestly have no idea. Happened while I was barely posting here. Also, I believe they had an admin delete their account.

Hoghandler. I think.

I'm more surprised with the ease the Nucks seem to be moving guys with these bottom-feeder teams.

This sort of throws out the idea that trades can't happen.

Hopefully the 6th rounder somewhat makes up for the loss of the 5th rounder we used on Laff

 

[quat]

Love the tidiness here

Remember some grumbling over myrenberg? We move two irrelevant players to give a guy a chance. Didnt work out so get back a relevant young defenceman and a draft choice.

Sign me up to this all day long. The concept of cut your losses is like nibbling my ear - manage the business - that is what was done here

These little moves excite me probably more than they should because they show process

I grumbled about Myrenberg because I had hope!

Of course, hope not based on anything sound. I'll tell you that for

Expecting that pick to be flipped like within 2 weeks lol

This isn't a huge blockbuster trade but I'm happy to be rid of Studnicka. I didn't think he offered enough to take up a roster spot over a prospect, and to get a young Defenseman with some experience and potential is a huge W. Not to mention a draft pick with him.

Dual purpose signing for Abby. Get someone to scrap which is sorely needed and get a defenseman to come in for some of the injured dmen.

The grit factor is something Johnson should have dealt with in the off season but didn't and its had negative effects in Abbotsford.

Hard to to tell which of Studnicka or Cicek have NHL potential - likely neither.

 

[VanJack]

Got to hand it Allvin.....even when he trades for quy in the words of 'the gambler' he knows when to 'hold-em' and nows when to 'throw em'.

Studnicka originally cost the Canucks 'nothing' prospects Mike DiPietro and Jonathan Myrenberg. Then Studnicka moves to San Jose for Nick Cickek and a sixth. Right about now I'd have been happy with a sixth for Studnicka. Getting another young d-man to develop in Abby is just a bonus.

I don't know how he does it time after time.

@Vector that was the guy !!!
