Proposal: Vancouver Canucks-Winnipeg Jets ("A Hockey Trade")

[NeutralOrange]

Why would Vancouver give a pick that is most likely going to be top 5? Terrible trade

 

[Trilliann]

He’s never publicly asked for a trade to my knowledge. Sure, he hasn’t been willing to sign long term, but we don’t know the specifics on what’s been offered. You have a link to these requests?

He did request a trade in 2016.

[north49er]

Tanev is the only D-man hurt more than Trouba. Jets pass.

 

[Starat327]

Canuck's first will be top 3.

So ya, there's no reason for either team to do this. Horrible, bad, not well thought out proposal.

And Vegas was going to finish dead last.

That's really besides the point though. The jets are trying to win now. a Top 5 pick may step in and help the team right away, and provides cost certainty, sure. But losing Trouba and replacing him with 50 games a year Tanev isn't really beneficial, especially when Tanev only has one additional year on his contract.

So the Jets trade a compete now piece for a Top 5 pick that wont really help them be contenders again until the other piece of the deal is already gone. So yes, thanks for confirming the bolded.

 

[Ciao]

Listen everyone west of Toronto is the west coast everything east is the east coast. Any questions?

Have you ever been to the West coast or the East coast?

 

[EXTRAS]

Tanev for niku + 2nd

 

[untouchable21]

Tanev for niku + 2nd

So Jets give up the cheap cost controlled player for a more expensive one? Yeah that makes sense with Winnipeg being in cap hell.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Have you ever been to the West coast or the East coast?

Well I live on the east coast so I hope so. It's called joking around, should try it some time.

 

[Snowman]

Honestly, it's not even a downgrade plus you potentially get the 1st overall pick! It is an awful proposal and the Jets would be insane not to take this if it were offered. I might quick being a Canucks fan if it did.

Well you're entitled to your opinion, but the Jets wouldn't touch this trade. A contending team is not going to trade half of their top pairing for a downgrade on defense and a chance at a player who may help them in 3 or 4 years.

OK, I know it's only preseason but he scored 2 goals last night equalling Tanev's goal production for all of last season. IMO just a hint of what's to come from the kid.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Why would either team do this?

They wouldn't?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yeah like Trouba would leave a cup contending team like Winnipeg, For a cellar dweller in Vancouver.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

A hockey trade that makes zero sense for either team

Exactly.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Winnipeg reluctantly denies this. Tanevs age and health being the reason

 

[Gabe Kupari]

I think people are undervaluing the Canucks 1st. This deal is worse for them imo

Only hfboards think magic beans are worth more .Canucks 1st is a magic bean.

 

[DoobieDubas]

Hockey trade looool

 

[Holymakinaw]

Why would either team do this?

Well Winnipeg might do it to get the 1st overall pick. 2nd OA at worst.

 

[Addison Rae]

Canucks have zero interest in this

 

[mondo3]

Jets do this. Probably need to add a 2nd

 

[Flyerfan52]

Yeah like Trouba would leave a cup contending team like Winnipeg, For a cellar dweller in Vancouver.

If the next negotiation with Trouba/Overhart proves difficult (again) Chevy should threaten to trade him to Ottawa. Montreal or Vancouver.

 

[DJJones]

This would be unbelievably stupid for Vancouver

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

If the next negotiation with Trouba/Overhart proves difficult (again) Chevy should threaten to trade him to Ottawa. Montreal or Vancouver.

Wouldn't shock me, If this scenario doesn't really happen. If Trouba doesn't commit long term with Winnipeg.

 

[THE Green Man]

I wouldn't do that from Vancouver's side, from Winnipeg's side I think it depends on the signing outlook on Trouba - Winnipeg is ready to contend so there's value in being better now and dealing him to Van might help to keep Van's pick from being as high

probably no from both sides, from the Canuck's perspective - don't cut corners, just rebuild and keep your picks. Benning has been doing very well with his draft picks so I don't know why you'd want to take what could be a really good one away from him

Agree that we have to keep the pick. As for Benning, his drafting is the only sliver of light that his tenure has brought and even then he really missed on the Virtanen and Juolevi picks. JB is the hockey version of the drunken 2-step. 1 step forward at the draft making a pick, millions of steps back when July 1st hits or he makes a trade.

well, one more year of being really bad could give the Canucks what looks like a formidable young core along the lines of what Winnipeg and Toronto have built. I think a Hughes/Cozens/Kakko level prospect in addition to what you already have should be enough for a solid core, plus there should be cap space to bring in UFA talent - this last year's free agency I think was just getting human shields for the kids, he overpaid for them but really think that's of little consequence in the grand scheme

I'd like to see Vancouver be one of the up and coming young franchises, Edmonton should right the ship this year and Winnipeg should be formidable. I'd like to see some all Canadian finals in the next 3-6 years

 

[ManofSteel55]

This makes no sense at all for either team. Winnipeg is trying to win and has no need for picks. Vancouver is rebuilding and wants their pick.
