Problem is we have nothing in the system for at least four years, unless you are anointing Subban the saviour
- VANTEL

Subban, Pedan, Brisbouis, and whoever we draft this year will be on the team in 4 years. We also have Neil, Olson and Tryamkin in the pipeline

We will more than likely just re-sign Bartowski and wonder why our ad sucks again next year.
- VANTEL

The team is head down to the bottom, I won't be wondering myself, I want Benning and Linden to stay the course...draft and develop. The reason our backend sucks is because our drafting sucks, it's not rocket science, as the saying goes.

Anyone wondering hasn't been paying attention.

100%

Draft and develop, there are no quick fixes

- CanuckDon

Lots of question marks . Hopefully two of them will do good. They won't be impact players though for at least four years

I would say Ducks will get either Eberle , Drouin, Ladd , Buff , or Staal for Sammi Vatanen
- VANTEL

There's massive differences there, the Oilers & Tampa have a ton of assets, we don't, the others are desirable UFA's, again, we don't have that. It's not about keeping up with the Jones it's about doing what's best for your franchise.

There are actually quick fixes. Look what Minny did . Parise Sutter, before that they were total crap

Hanks here for two more years after this year, Sutter is here for 5 years and Bo is not going anywhere.

You have Vey and MCCann battling for 4 th line and so far WD likes Vey. What do you do?

You continue to develop Horvat & McCann over the next couple of years, becoming a pro takes time unless you're Cindy Crosby or some other elite talent.

Patience!!

Not set in stone but it seems like when JB likes a player , he locks them up pretty quick. Biega Sutter Sbisa.

Might mean see ya later to Hamhuis Weber Vrbata Bartowski Prust.

Are there two young talented UFA's available that are dying to be reunited in there hometowns?

If they are sending McCann to Comets next year , I am ok with that

Stamkos and Staal

The Canucks are not in a position to sign high-end UFA's, why would they do that, they aren't in a position to win a Cup...you've been preaching tank now you wanna trade a bunch of high quality young players and sign expensive UFA's WTF???

- VANTEL

Why can't he play on the Canucks?

Stamkos and Staal
- VANTEL

They aren't from Vancouver. Stamkos won't sign here. No idea if Stall would but I'm not overly interested.

Do you want to tank and draft and develop or go all in for a cup? I'm confused now Vantel

Minny were not in a position to win a cup neither. They had the cap space , just as we do. They improved their team 100 % that year.

Did they win a cup? Are they close to being a contender?

Did they! Because I think they wasted 200 million dollars to get to the second round...idiots.

You didn't say sign in Vancouver . Your question was is there two high end UFAs that want to be reunited to their hometown

Staal and a Stamkos would love to go home and play on the Leafs.

I want a high draft pick this year.

I want to get rid of aging Vets Hamhuis a Vrbata Miller Burrows a Higgins

I want the Canucks to either offer sheet trade or pick up a solid young Dman that will be here for 7 years.

I would like to aquire a top 6 younger winger. I don't want to waste cap space on the likes of Eriksson Ladd Byfuglien Hamhuis or anyone else 30 plus.

I don't want to waste cap space on crap players like Weber or Satorelli

You tell me am I tanking or develop? Maybe a little of both

Did they win a cup? Are they close to being a contender?
- CanuckDon

They are closer than we are

I don't think Trouba is available unless for Hamonic.

Minny would want a kings ransom also . No good young D is cheap
- VANTEL

True, but if WPG has issues signing Trouba like Boston did he will be available for trade. I doubt NYI is willing to add for Trouba and WPG won't accepted 1 for 1 deal as Trouba has a much higher ceiling. I would offered 1st/2 2nd/s and a 3rd for either. Good chance that gets it done, maybe small add or slight adjustment necessary.

I'm not saying I wouldn't like to have him, but not at the price of a massive overpayment. You set the prospect pool back two years by giving what you offered. He's not worth that to me/
- LeftCoaster

AGreed.

He is not the Stud Dman we're looking for.

We can argue all day but like I said you will be shocked with the return he will get. Lots of teams will be looking for his skill.
- VANTEL

He might be a good fit for a team that will splurge on him.
But he's not worth us blowing our load, with what he brings to the table.

I would say Ducks will get either Eberle , Drouin, Ladd , Buff , or Staal for Sammi Vatanen
- VANTEL

I dont think the ducks Gm is that good. We bested them both times.

But buffs value is way more than vatanen....same with staal and eberle.

If we can get him for a early 2nd thatd be perfect. Maybe add vbatta

I'd say try and trade for Trouba or Dumba.
- Retinalz

Can't see it happening...maybe if Boesser wants to go home?
