What would baertchi be worth? Similar return as Hansen?
- canucks1986

Hard to say...this is a big season for him. If he takes another step forward and is on pace for 20-25 goals we could get a decent return from a team with an injury to their top 6. Perhaps a 2nd and a B prospect. Baertchi needs to find a way to stay healthy this year

Would love to find a way to unload Eriksson. Maybe a team like Washington or St-louis would have some interest before their window closes.

Wouldn't be good rep for future FA signings to unload him after 2 years.

Unfortunately the fit just wasn't there.

I think I would rather eat 20% of his salary then have his full cap hit for 5 more years

Although I've never met you, I surmise you're a very good man Makita, someone I'd be glad to call a friend......but what the (frank) are you laughing at?
- LeftCoaster

Lefty I think we could be great friends.

I'm laughing at your description of telling your wife she is talking to herself while at different ends of a 2800sqft house, A_SL with his jab at being in different time zones, and my own experiences of saying the exact same thing to my wife but we have 4000sqft to yell back and forth

Yeah, maybe 6x5.5

she's a hard case....she talks to me from a different time zone but gets pissed at me when I talk to her from the next room....WTF

If he did all of that no point in trading him for that.

#Canucks have invited the following players to Young Stars:

D Aaron Irving (Everett)
F Danny Moynihan (Alaska)
F Aaron Luchuk (Windsor)
- VANTEL

Moynihan came last year didn't he? played in The ECHL?

Irving and Luchuk were both at dev camp?

I can see Dorsett sitting out and giving Canucks 2.6 in cap space and signing White to .750, I also think JV will make the team

2 years at 3.5 or 7 years at 5.6

Follow up on EP & Gaudette prediction. They have BB pay off end of season. JB will then move on from LE and press to waive for off season trade. With cap space Canucks sign controversial Kane to beef up roster.

Youth movement picks up for 2018 season with following players.

Kane Bo Gagner - Captain Bo with in prime vet support of mixed talent types
Granlund Sutter BB - Barely 2L try's to support with two way game
Dahlen EP JV - A youth movement cuts teeth in sheltered role
Goldy Gaudette Burmistrov - Share's middle six role as part of youth
Gaunce/Rodin/Boucher? - whoever survives or thrives previous season

Thats a sideways move IMO
We save some cap space depends on what's its needed for?

we have two potential 20-25 goal scorers that are just entering their prime, why trade either?

If Sven scores 15-18 then trade him. If he is scoring 20-25 then keep him .

- Brooks_Light

My thoughts as well 👍
Defeats the purpose of acquiring them & developing to simply move them.
Has to be a no-brainer trade & only good D prospects would make any senses for us. That is highly unlikely. Wingers r not fetching the greatest value.

Your right, he does need to step more this year. 38 points won't cut it for top 6 playing time. As I say this, I would rather see LE with Bo and Boeser. If he can get the 20-25 goals he might expect a contract worth more then 3mil a yr.....and IMO he isn't worth that much, even with the 20goals

If Sven scores 15-18 then trade him. If he is scoring 20-25 then keep him .
- VANTEL

Ok but what does a young 15-18 goal scoring winger fetch on the market?
Trading him is giving up on him & in with a prospect.

You're married right, enough said.

- manvanfan

You think you are getting 2 yrs of UFA for 5.6? Might be a tough sell.

a second or a D prospect
- VANTEL

If he regresses a high 2nd at worst cuz a D prospect is highly unlikely.
Neither would likely happen if he fell off though.
Even at that wingers to me r nothing special nor hard to find.
3rd line production won't excite anyone.

I'd rather role with Goblin and Dahlen in the long run. Grnalund is a lot more versatile than Bae. We have too many undersized wingers in the pipeline

If BB pays off from last yr, where is he in 2018?

a second or a D prospect
- VANTEL

Brian Boyle traded for a 2nd. 32 years old and had 13 goals.
Hanzal traded basically for a 1st. 30 years old and 16 goals.
Hansen for a (late first prospect) and 4th. Pro-rated 12 goals.

24 year old, 15 goals and Sven is only worth a 2nd

I'd rather role with Goblin and Dahlen in the long run. Grnalund is a lot more versatile than Bae. We have too many undersized wingers in the pipeline
- CanuckDon

Presuming both become top 6 gold for us I agree.
As for Sven it's 25+ goals & versatile up n down the line-up to be here for many years. He won't get any guarantees nor a big long term contract anytime soon. I really don't see any great improvements on his part to give me optimism to the contrary.

My bad. Thanks. Fixed now. Should have included the Sven TDL sale trade everyone is clamorimg for
