Michael Del Zotto played all 82 last year for us. That’s really all I’m gonna say about it, but yeah 4 million 1 year commitment?

We simply can't afford to trade those roster players that are cheap. We need those value deals to build up our shitty offensive depth.
Not a problem, we just cant swallow such a contract so cheaply. We can definitely help out with your forward depth though, even before taking a bad contract or two we have forwards to spare. Mostly either middle six tweeners or NHL/AHL tweeners, but we would be happy to sell a few off too.

Understandable. Thanks for not being an asshole about having to give you the 10th pick to take on Lucic. Props to you for being reasonable.

If the Nelson in your Hutton proposal is Brock Nelson, then no thanks.
Hutton is not worth a consistent 20 goal scorer.
He took a real step back this season. Hopefully, he takes working out and offseason training more seriously.
I'm a homer, and a bit of a knob, but I try to remain reasonable if I have a question and someone takes the time to answer. Thanks for answering btw. That pick seems earmarked for a D anyway, i hope it works out.
If you do want some depth in your forwards ranks, we still might be able to help each other out.

I'm solely basing this on other threads over the past few weeks that some posters were ok with this switch. Trust me I was incredibly surprised it had positive feedback, but if that was indeed the case I would be all over it. Nelson as a 2C this year and eventually as a 2LW for this team would be a really smart move for a guy who is in our coaches dog house.
Patch, 35th, 38th for Gagner and Gaudette ....
Thats different, and checks a lot of boxes for us, but value not withstanding, one thing that would make me want think it over is that Gaudette is one of our only C prospects not looking at a start on the wing. Both Pettersson and Dahlen are projecting at LW, where we are also weak, but depending on how everything shakes out, that's not a bad value trade, and different than a lot of other offers I have seen.

Since Okposo was dealt,Nelson is the isle fans whipping boy.
He leaves fans frustrated, thinking he should score more, be more physical.
Friedman reported a team pushed hard for Nelson this season and the isles refused.
One of this weekend's rumors is that Lou is shopping him. It would not be surprising to see him part of a package, but doubt you will see him dumped to appease frustrated fans.
If that was because of my offer of....well any if our LHD....I don't expect a 1st for any of them, save perhaps Edler if we added or took a cap dump or something.
You don't like Hutton for Nelson, but is there another piece you would prefer to give up for him or DZ?

Perfectly fair. In all honesty I thought we were getting a steal but the whipping boy seems to make a lot more sense. I'm surprised Ladd doesn't get all the heat over there though. It's not like you're Vancouver who've had over the past years to spread the hate around: Eriksson, Sutter, Dorsett, Sbisa, Dowd, Gudbrandson... Good god do we suck.

Edler is a ufa in 1 more season. No interest in moving a 1st for 1 yr of Edler.
and I do not want Hutton or MDZ in the isles top 4, so no interest in giving up a 20 goal scorer and getting one of them back as the key piece.

I think the Canucks could accept a veteran goalie with a bad contract. It's ironic that Luongo fits the profile. Canucks need a mentor for kids in net and I do not think Markstrom or Nilsson is the guy.
Edler is much more dealable than Tanev. Never mind the NTC, we saw what happened to Garrison. Edler would cushion the impact of moving a number one D.
Canucks cannot hand cuff themselves before free agency. Cap space should be retained until everybody is signed.

I said before he was signed it was a bad move, that nyi fans overrated him.
He is due a $5m signing bonus on July 1st. He will have 5 yrs/ $18m left on his contract. His cap hit will remain $5.5m.
I am hoping for amnesty buyouts in the next cba,but not sure ownership& Lou would buy him out when it basically becomes $3m per in actual salary.
No no, I was looking for alternatives to Nelson, who you justifiably value more then out guys, or a first. We have 4 top 6 LHD, and two of the guys we are using ahead of Hutton haven't really earned their time there. So if we can move Hutton or one of the coaches pets, we clear a log jam.
We have 4 RFAs left to sign. We have plenty of space. I would rather take an asset with a bad contract then sign a bunch ourselves.
A vet goalie would be a fine addition, like Miller was supposed to be, if we can find a home for Marky or Nilstrom.
I can't imagine Edler and Tanev both being moved without someone being brought in, but I'm looking for alternatives to the usual Tanev deals. Something new pre draft, you know?
