Kane - if available being damaged goods, take a chance.

Barrie - PMD you always have to look at, and a local boy.

JB is on record stating he is in the market for top 6 scoring.

Stecher is also a local guy and he's under contract.

Don't want Barrie, but do want Kane. I would rather see if Hutton improved next season and then determine what is needed. Also if Larson can produce, what need would we have of Barrie?

I'm flat out saying Kane will be a Canuck. It's no secret that Murray is sick of Kane's shtick and is trying to move him. JB is looking for a player of Kane's ilk and from reports has inquired....

I doubt Sbisa is involved but it's well known JB is trying to move him once Gudbranson was acquired....just connecting the dots...

I really hope it happens because Kane is on a perfect remaining term with a cap hit we could manage with a trade. Kane may be a douchebag and he may just be another selfentitled poop that made too much money too soon and just went with it. I think being back home could help along with some classy leaders and hard workers currently on the team. He probably is also the only affordable option without having to trade too much away. He still scores 20 goals fairly consistently and provides alot of other things that would improve our top 6. And hes still only 24?! 2 more years he could turn it around and if not (frank) him. If he was signed for 5 more years it would still be a smart idea to try and see what it took to get it done.

I'd take either on my team, and both fill a hole on the Canucks roster (I would not bet that any of our young D can become the player that Barrie is today).

But at this stage it appears that Kane could be had for less and Barrie would cost an arm and a leg and that's why i would make a push for Kane.

Why don't you want Barrie? He basically just had back to back 50 point seasons while being pretty solid defensively. If the cost is the issue then I understand but Barrie is a stud.

Too much if that was the price. Draft and develop our own

Cost is why, we can't be trading our future away for a player that won't help us win the cup any time soon. If Boeser + Hansen could land Landeskog I would entertain it because at 23 he can still be here for 10+ years. Barrie isn't old, but I think one of Hutton, Stetcher, Subban, or Juolevi will be able to put up 50 pts or so a season int eh future.

- VANTEL

Personally, I'm against moving guys with potential like Boeser. We need to have guys like him continuing to develop. I'm ok wih competing now and what not but I still want to develop what we have.

Landeskog is a beast and still young but I'd be nervous with a trade like that just because I think we have a good one in Boeser and the last thing we should do is trade him before he gets a chance to prove himself.

i think VT was merely pointing out what it would cost, to highlight that it would be buttload and that we aren't in a position to offer what it would cost...

I get it. Cost is a major issue especially because of what D man seem to be worth. However, I think Tanev would be the centerpiece to a trade for Barrie just because I think Colorado would have a big hole if not. I'm interested to know if for whatever reason he does get traded, if it is based on the arbitration and cap space left to sign MacKinnon, Grigerenko, Pickard, Etc. It looks like it might work but I'm sure it would be tight for the Avalanche and could be a factor.

I'm still hung up on the Kane idea purely for the cost factor so I definitely understand what you are saying.

For sure. I'd love him on the Canucks, but they can't afford it.

It would be a buttload . The names would have to be Bo JV Boeser Our first , Tanev some big name . It wouldn't be Sven Sbisa Etem .

It would be a pick. Prospect and a player

Tanev for Barrie is a bad way to go though. Sacrificing Defense for offense when our biggest issue is preventing goals is not the answer. Tanev is better defensively than Barrie is offensively. They are about the same in the reverse, Barrie is terrible defensively.

For sure. I'd love him on the Canucks, but they can't afford it.
- CubanBuffet

I am one of the few who think Canucks will be in the top 16. So I don't hate losing the first. It would cost also someone who hold high value

- CanuckDon

For Barrie I think it is cost. For Landeskog who knows. I have heard that he isn't quite what they expected as a leader/locker room guy a couple years ago, but then they made him Captain. Who knows really.

I heard Landeskog wants out. The 1040 said there are a few on the AVs that don't like Roy
