they gotta make a trade sooner or later

I would go after Draisaitl. RNH is not suited for the western division imo.

He will cost you a lot more though

I don't care too much who is on during the intermissions as long as i can listen to John&John during the game.

Although I don't mind Hirsch too much and it was mildly entertaining seeing Stock be angry all the time.

You need a 1C. Draft & develop, OS, FA, Trade, pay the price.

I like tanev and could see how some Canuck fans would be apposed but I think you need to look at what you have and what you don't ....plenty of D men who could replace tanev ...who's taking over your 1C once hank leaves ?
- Redmile247

You are way off here. "plenty of D to replace Tanev." what the (frank) are you talking about? Tell that to Edmonton that have been looking for a Tanev for years. RNH won't be a number 1 center.

Draisaitl for Tanev. Done.

Well next year hank would be 1C but in the future it will be up to bo and sutter ...with all the young D you have now and with edler and hamhuis to help out it might be more beneficial to get a guy whose at least played top line minutes instead of hoping one of the others can
- Redmile247

Hamhuis is gone...He can't crack our top 6 anymore. I'd be surprised if Edmonton doesn't end up over paying him

So far the #Canucks have called Eriksson, Lucic, Helm, Vanek, Boedker, Ladd, Brouwer and Fiddler.

Hamhuis is gone...He can't crack our top 6 anymore. I'd be surprised if Edmonton doesn't end up over paying him
- CanuckDon

Hamhuis is still a better option than half your D ...he just doesn't fit into your retool ...he might not be the same player he was a couple years ago but he isn't a 7/8 guy all of the sudden

Well you have edler, hamhuis, ( he wants to be in Van ), gudbranson, Hutton, tree, pizza, pedan, and the kid from fin .... Edmonton isn't looking for a tanev ...they want a top 2 guy ...probably a couple of em actually ....RNH could be on a different team

IF Oilers were to land Lucic, would think a Hall deal becomes much more likely. Can't have 17.5m tied up in 4LW'ers.


So Lucic is going to replace Hall. Come on Edmonton. Get this done.

WTF?
Lucic over Hall? That does not make sense.

- Redmile247

Incorrect.

Tanev, Edler, EG, Hutton, Tryamkin are all better than Hamhuis. It's a toss up between him and Sbisa for number 6. He was brutal 90% of the season up until the last 8 games when he was playing to earn a contract.

Well you have edler, hamhuis, ( he wants to be in Van ), gudbranson, Hutton, tree, pizza, pedan, and the kid from fin .... Edmonton isn't looking for a tanev ...they want a top 2 guy ...probably a couple of em actually ....RNH could be on a different team
- Redmile247

Tanev is a top two guy. Also, the Canucks have already told Hamhuis they don't want him. Why do you keep mentioning he is a Canuck?

What's he going to do...offer him his own bike lane...Robertsons an idiot like Lucic like Benning and Linden if that jerk wad signs in Vancouver
- Makita

Easy right now.....why is it the end of the world if we sign Lucic? He may be a jerk but he can help the team win hockey games. People need to move on from 2011 and his Granville street punch up. Hockey players don't need to be saints.
