They don't need those pics anyways ...they have more pics in each draft than a couple teams combined ...scary to think they might be doing things right in leaf land ...well scary in here at least

1) what they're doing is stupid!
2) why would we, as Canuck fans, be scared? They don't even play in the same Conference as us.

C'mon we all know he's assistant Gm. There's only one guy on this thread who understands coaching so obviously he's negotiating his contract right now.

Nucks better shape up next year or the assistant coach is going to be breathing fire on the bench.

Wait a few years ...they have a very good prospect pool and it's getting better ....and TO and Van are like brothers fighting ...always competing with each other ...constant competion between fans

I think Gulutzan is a good coach, he'll do well in Calgary. I hate the Flames, but man they've got the makings of a great young team

Lets say the odds of that second round pick amounting to an NHL player is 15%, the odds of Hansen still being a Canuck after his cheap contract expires is 0%, the odds the Canucks contend for the cup with Hansen in the lineup is 0%, the odds Hansen plays top 6 minutes if a FA winger is signed is a generous 15%, and finally the odds Hansen replicates his scoring production without playing 57% of his season icetime with Henrik and Daniel is a generous 5%.

Getting something for someone that isnt going to be in your long term plans is good asset management. Not moving him, like say Hamhuis, Vrbata, Burrows, is bad asset management. It wasnt popular, but remember the haul from the Linden trade? It set the team up for future success. What about Lack, are we still upset about moving him? He wasn't in the plans and the team now has a D prospect and another draft pick this year. Its not the best haul but cant say Eddie would have made a difference this year or next

As for price being the highest at TDL: http://nesn.com/2016/03/b...-make-for-busy-nhl-draft/
It has been mentioned several times, teams are wanting cost certainty earlier in the year which makes the draft the new big trade day of the year. They acquire tweaking players that late in the year, only one 1st rounder went last year and it was a player with much higher pedigree than Hansen...

You are really reaching here...the odds of Hansen resigning with the Canucks is 0%? Good to know, I hope you have informed his wife and kids.
I'd argue that dumping a quality veteran for a 3rd round pick is extremely poor asset management. He is low cost productive member of the leadership group and still holds value even if he is playing on our 3rd line working with the kids. Also, some of the posters on here that are saying we should avoid signing a high priced UFA for 4-5 years are now advocating that we dump Hansen for a sh!t return and spend to the cap on a UFA winger. Is it (frank)ing Tuesday in the Middle East?

(but i agree with you. if i was a leafs fan, i'd be optimistic. they're still going to suck next year though).
