That's a good point. It'd be interesting to know what both JB the coaching staffs opinion on it would be. If they had to pick between the 2 for a 2nd pairing RD who would they rather have now having seen Trees potential. If it is Tryamkin there's no reason not to move Gudbranson
- NorthNuck

You could probably move Gudbranson for something. And then bring in a plug like Engelland or Gryba to basically fill the exact same roll but not feel obligated to pay them long term or play them much.

Enough with LE Horvat combo


Stick Bo with talented fast kids

Give Horvat Goldobin on the right side.

Swap LE for Virt then. If they're playing top line minutes I just figured Eriksson was the only guy Willie would be willing to put there. Maybe Granlund but you kinda need his speed to offset the twins glacial pace

Pedan > Engelland or Gryba

I think it doesn't matter if Markstrom's ready or not, you don't need him to be as good as Miller, as you're only waiting until Demko's ready in 2 or 3 years anyways and even if Markstrom's not a great starter you can sign a cheap backup for him for a year and then bring Demko up.



He's a UFA but still property of the Canucks until July 1st, the expansion draft takes place before the actual draft, and the Golden Knights have a window before the expansion draft to exclusively talk to/sign certain UFAs and RFAs before July 1st. By trading him to LV, you at least get something for him and you don't lose anyone in the draft therefore you don't lose anyone to Vegas that you couldn't protect.
- DariusKnight

But if Vegas wants him bad enough to trade for him, why don't they just casually mention it to his agent in a totally not tampering way because that would never happen and save themselves a draft pick?

He's a lefty though isn't he? Coaches these days love to have L-R parity.

Right. Teams have never done such a thing. All those 15 years contracts that used to get signed on July 1 at 12:01 eastern were literally hammered out in 60 seconds

a 4th for Iginla is an addition by subtraction for sure, but holy hell, how do you put your players through hell for the last month, only to come up with next to nothing.

Tree plays both sides

Edler-Stecher
Hutton-Tanev
Pedan-Tryamkin

You two keep selling this bullpoop that there is a group that doesn't agree with this obvious statement.

What are you talking about? You are the one that keeps spouting 'patience ' like some kungfoo monk. Like that's some revelation. Of course we need patience but some of us won't accept incompetence, misdirection, and failure to grasp the obvious as just 'part of the plan'.

I think, maybe now, there is a plan. Welcome to reality Jim.

I'd watch it

People in here could find a million dollars and would still complain that was not a million and ten dollars

This was one of Canucks better weeks in five years, why not enjoy it.

WD is putting Goldobin on the 4th line. Enjoy your 10 minutes Goldy!!!!!

(is it too soon to start complaining about his deployment? )

I can't sit here and say I fully know all the rules of the expansion draft but I don't think its that easy.

Nah that is reserved for Cramorossa

Not sure how they will address that, but Vegas was concerned about the opposite, where Sharks dont protect Thornton so they can protect others and then sign him to a pre-agreed upon deal after the expansion draft

No.

I think it will be fluid. If Bo is being deployed to shutdown, obviously goldobin is a poor choice in comparison to LE. Goldobin is clearlyu going to be slotted in to the Powerplay, hopefulyl this means the Sedins will be pp2(finally). Excited to see the kid play on tuesday, I think I might be going to the game on april 4th (sunday) so hopefully both games he sticks it to the Sharks a little.

Put the twins with LE and draft your first overall pick . One more year

What makes you think I'm not? I believe you can find multiple posts where I've said what a great couple days this has been.
