It’s what smart/bold management would do IMO. When you have several young lotto ticket goalies in the pipeline and a current starter at his peak value with an expansion draft approaching, you trade the current starter for future assets and acquire a stop gap for your sh!tty team.

Sagely post 👍

I think next year’s TDL returns will be pitiful with teams salivating at the 2020 draft... Now is the time to pull the trigger, add a high pick this year who will be a year closer to NHL contribution. Markstrom could get us another 1 this year. If he struggles at all, he won’t even bring a 3rd at the TDL.

Get the jump before the next offseason 👍

Markstrom to Cgy for a 1st and then Cgy's 1st to Minnesota for Zucker.

Marky/10oa/Sven/Sutter for 1oa

I love the playoffs, and I want my team to make the playoffs every year. I also want them to be able to challenge for the Cup in cycles, maybe even get lucky now and then.

I just think that in order for things like that to happen, I need to sell high and buy low at every opportunity.

I think Benning is doing a decent job with this stuff believe it or not


Markstrom will be due for a raise and hopefully peaking just as Demko is ready to take over.

Sutter was brought in to fill the void of Hank leaving . Despite the injury he was there to ease Bo Petey and Gaudette into their roles.

Tanev should be finishing just as Woo is coming in and Hughes is already in. OJ should have been ready to but he is coming late to the party.

I think all three players will be gone this year. They need Edler for two more years?

Who said to go with an unproven rookie goalie? Obviously we sell high & buy low on a stop gap vet to share the load. This is about maximizing leverage, a looming expansion draft, & the likelihood of a repeat performance from Markstrom... This isn’t fantasyland BS - it’s legit strategic management.
- DrChristianTroy

Demko needs 1 more season to set up as the starter. Trade Marky.

Are you willing to trade our first for Subban . Big balls move.

Rather sign EK for only money

We know you would

I think with Pouliot Biega Hutton gone and most in here will include Gudrandson , plus the puck possession of Hughes along with better forwards , and another year with Ian Clark , I like the chances he improves

👍👍

Do you have a prospect or two in mind at the 40 range that you'd really like to see join the organization?

Also, what do you do at the deadline if your team is 3 points out?

Yes but I’ve moved on from him. Find a top 6 W trade or OS one is for me.

In no way do I want subban here.
Nor do I think pk wants to b here after the crap with his brother
If he came I see him benched a lot for his attitude

Just not a good idea in any way

We still need to make a trade or 2 or 3.

What crap are you refering to?
Subban was a train wreck of a defenseman, in the minors, who would have made Pouliot look like a good defenseman.

I agree
I meant that pk would see it as BS

I think if Canucks had a proven back up and a goalie waiting to make it in the NHL sure , but Demk has played 10 games . I can't see it at all this summer . Maybe at TDL
- VANTEL

Trade Markstrom, sign Nilsson

Trade Marky to NJD 2nd/5th
Schaller for Luongo/3rd.
Cap dump for big UFA’s for Florida.
Play Lui 60/40 til he is injured.

Canucks?

I hope you took a triple shot of Jaegermeister with an orange juice chaser while posting that here. I don't care if you are a Flames fan, the rules of this forum are written in stone.

Hey now, through 12 Calder cup playoff games Subbs has an even +/- while highly touted Sandin is - 2 and Liljegren is -1. That has to count for something.
