Never seen him but read that he is a solid player, sounded something like Tanev but a bit of offense.

I was hoping they would be playing more OHL games but after the Windsor - London series they have just stopped. At least on my cable provider.

So anybody willing to entertain the idea of taking on 1 bad contract for the season? I have a couple idea's for you! Man i'm a nice guy.

Okay so just to recap. Dave Bolland and Lawson Crouse for a 3rd and 2nd in the next season. Crouse was the 11th overall pick. Dave Bolland has 3 years left on his contract.

Pavel traded to Ari for 16th pick for the 20th. 1 year left on contract.

So onto my options.
Option 1
Marion Gaborik. 4 years left at 4.85. LA 1st and Gaborik for Van's 2nd. A move up of almost 20 spots for Van.
Back to back 20 point injuried riddled seasons for Gaborik.

Option 2
Marian Hossa. 4 Years left at 5.275. Hossa and Chi 1st and 5th for Van's 2nd
Hossa around the 40 point mark the past 2 seasons.

I'd let both of those players sit there another year and try and get picks in a better draft.

Unfortunately these teams aren't going to wait around probably. It is possible to ask for next years pick instead. If it was Chi, I would ask for next seasons. LA well you know you're getting a 10-15 pick most likely this season. It's probably JB's best way to get a pick again in the first round. Trading someone this season doesn't make sense with a stronger draft next season would be the season to trade away players.

Those terms are worth way more than jumping up 20 spots in the draft. IMO. For a team to take on an aging player on a bad contract, it has to be a pretty significant deal.

Example, if LA wants to get rid of Gaborik and his awful contract, it would have to be an LA 1st, LA 3rd + Gaborik to VAN for VAN 3rd + contract

I believe Hossa has a full NMC, he's on the protected list for expansion. Can't see him waiving it for Vancouver. But I like the concept.

I can't disagree with your opinion, I just haven't seen a team do it yet. I saw Ari move up 4 spots for 1 year on Dat's.
Ari got a 11th OA pick for a 2nd and 3rd in different years.

Hossa and Gaborik are still serviceable players.

During googling just realized that Connor Carrick and Zach Hyman were both traded for. I thought they were drafted by Toronto.

Toronto only has 7 drafted players on their team this year. 5 of them were top 10 picks.

Respectfully that's a big NO to more aging veteran contracts.

Hossa does have a NMC. He may waive. Never know. Gaborik is the better trade. Less cap hit. Also helps Van's to get a better player then LA in the draft.

Why does LA want to take money back if they are trying to get rid of it?

You want a 1st for a 4th and take back an extra 2 million? Plus you're then giving them someone Van has to play against.

Win hockey games. Not Battling for the stanley cup. In it for picks. Taking aging contracts for a higher pick is the new NHL. dude.

Good. Better than bringing in a high dollar option like Boudreau or some guy that can't coach in the PO's.

If he can get this roster to 85 pts next year that will be something.
