The only way i'd be interested in that/it would even be possible is if VAN retained 50% of the contract, of which he has 2 more years after this one. I think the likelihood of that is close to zero. Also, he's not been very good. I just don't see that even being remotely close to something that is being seriously looked at

If they were serious about a trade, the one Id want with VAN is Horvat and Podkolzin.

I don’t think he’d cost much tho because of that

He does fit the bill of a RW sniper/shooter tho, which ideally what they get/need. It’s not an outlandish commitment to him. He’s just one of those injury prone guys we all hate

I wouldn’t put this scenario past them: since Chytil is tough pill to swallow ina trade, move him to RW til further notice and trade for a center. Not necessarily Horvat, but a top 9 center. That’s one thing they haven’t tried yet, Chytil on RW. He does get him more ice time that way

I think it’s crystal clear that they need a another scorer desperately

First, we have to see what the new coaching staff does with that team. Way too much talent there to be so bad.

I remember seeing something that used those words, but from my experience, it shouldnt take 3 surgeries to fix a torn labrum in the shoulder from dislocation.

If this team makes the playoffs again, there is a 0.0% chance Gallant gets fired. No matter how much I want that top happen.

Would anyone do

Boeser (w/necessary retainment)

For

-Blais
-Robertson (or B level prospect we have they’d want)
-‘24 First rder
-‘23 Second rder

I was talking about Vancouver.

But as it is, I dont think GG gets fired unless there is a serious rift with the players.

Do teams retain multiple seasons worth of salary? Ever? It’s through 2025

Why would they want Blais? Seriously doubt he gets traded.

Based on what others have proposed it seems like youre overpaying to get the retainment. However, theres no way they retain 50% for 2 years. You might get 1 mil retained tops.

Well they don’t lol we need them too tho for this trade!

Vancouver should do this tho. Tweak it but why wouldn’t they want to get futures.

its amazing how many Ranger fans trash talk a guy who had an ACL and MCL torn to shreds just because they didnt like a trade

Idk. Unless they think can contend next year, and as of right now that doesn’t seem to be possible.

I did the cap friendly and he would have to be 3.25ish retained by the nucks

He was never going to be anything but a bottom 6 player at best. He’s got 17 career goals. I don’t blame him I just lament the trade and now his usage

Was just about to post this. Unbelievable that POS Slewban got away with that and the others.

I get it, it has to be 50% to resign our guys the following year... its just not going to happen.
