I guess they think he shores up the bottom 6, i meam the window is closing.

Flyers gave Nashville Ratcliffe for futures. If the Canucks are taking on reclamation projects, they should try get some for free.

Lockwood and a 7th is pretty close to free

The way picks are being given out like candy, the Canucks should be able to fetch a 2nd and 4th for Schenn.

Not to TBL tho.
I wonder if Buffalo wants to enter the arms race?

NYR, NYI, TBL, NJD, TML and Bos have all made moves…

I think they are smart enough to know the window is just opening and no need to rush. But i hope for our sake they arent!

Thats a haul, Jeannot must be a lot better than what i think or something

Just think what Kuzmenko could have got 🤨

Me think’s we could have gotten more for Bo with a little more patience.

I am thinking Dallas or Winnipeg.

Yup.

Management insisted on Raty, which brought the price down.

May as well throw petey out there as well if they did that.

What's your point?

He looks like a B prospect, needs to work on his skating.

Ya, his skating is an issue. I am sure management was looking at getting a centre in any return for Bo.

Petey and kuz look like a dynamic duo you can build around.

Maybe they would be, but with a lack of players in the system, it might be a bit of a wait to get the rest of the building blocks.

Fix the D, they have some D prospects just not grade A that comes with drafting, costs to much to acquire.

Hopefully VAN's in on this?

Re: Schnieder

I could see Van wanting him a lot – would probably retain on the Kane trade and send a pick or player over? Apparently if they wanted Hoglander at some point.. Kane retention, Hoglander, 3rd for Schneider? Kane retention, Hoglander plus Schenn for Schneider?

Is Schneider really that good?I havn’t really watched him but I see his name here quite often.

Then after being drafted you are waiting 2-5 years for them to be on the team. 5 years from now Kuzmenko is 32 and Pouty is 29.

- Bettmanhatesus

Yes. He’s a top 4, 2-way RHD that plays physical. He’s only 21 and has a high high ceiling.
If he develops into what he’s projected to be he would be a great top pairing fit along side Hughes… and I think that’s why our fanbase raves about him.

Seems like a crazy overpay.

Remember when Tampa did this last year too? Just prior to trade deadline they acquired Hagel for two 1sts, which created a sellers market and made it very hard for their competitors to get better.

It’s actually a sneakily good GM move… but Brisebois was a little late this year as half a dozen teams beat him into making a big move. Hopefully this sets up a team or two into being desperate and maybe setting up an overpay on Schenn/Boeser/Garland… if any of them are still wanted.

I feel like Pittsburgh might make a desperation move to stay relevant.

Hurricanes are another team that might be forced to do something thanks to that conference’s contenders getting stronger.

Good point.

That's another team that needs to add to the arms race in the east.

JTM for Kokeinami and a 1st.
