The arbitrator determines value, which is likely above league minimum. Because that’s what he worth. The purpose of signing him is to trade him, which will improve the team long-term. Big picture is we’re not good next year, so start preparing to trade at the tdl. Beauvillier, Bear and Myers away for d prospects and picks should be the focus imo.

Is this based on all the success we have had trying to trade our other bad contracts?

No it’s based on him playing well this year and the scarcity of the position.

Wrong.

You don't fix the team by bringing back the same crap. They have to have something on the burner.
- VANTEL

I would think so as well.

Yikes

If the two Dmen I mention go in the top 10, who is more likely to fall out in your opinion?
- boonerbuck

Bedard
Fantilli
Carlsson
Smith
Michkov
Barlow
Dvorsky
Leonard
Reinbacher
???

Idk your other D off hand but that looks like a list you might think goes down. ASP could be in there along with Willander. Not for me though. That 10th goes to Moore.

Oh my fkn god they think the Canucks pass on Benson if he falls to 11. Elite play making center.... elite defensive game, great wheels....

Barlow over Benson? Um, no....

For the record Bear will not hit arbitration. He will gladly accept the 2.2 QO.

It’s all subjective lol

There isn’t a single list out there I agree with nor do I see any 2 the same. That said has anyone ever nailed the top 10 in order?

The scenario I'm inquiring about has two dmen going in the top 10.

I definitely think Benson is in the top 10. Higher than Moore even. I will pick Barlow to drop out of your list and Benson in.

Hot take, loaded with facts and interesting way to frame the debate. Well done!

In which case you’ve got Barlow, Wallinder or Moore available. Who you taking? I’d be happy with one of those three, myself.

For me…

Moore for need & skill set
Willander need but could go later
Barlow no only cuz winger heavy.

Trades beforehand throws all that outta the window.

Canucks would do well with those 3. Out of those, I take Moore.

We definitely do not have a player like Barlow.

Trade down , grab a second , take Stenberg in the first round and a D with the aquired pick in the 2nd

That’s bold on both fronts imo
- Nighthawk

No it’s not. He is rated lower and the Canucks would definitely take Willander before him among others

The fanboy meltdown in here if the pick was traded would be epic!

- VanHockeyGuy

It would be a truly magnificent day if they trade the pick

They won’t take Smurf wingers in back to back years. Also, highly unlikely they would take Barlow

Highly unlikely based on the GM and staff interviewing him?

I'd take Wood over Barlow in a heart beat.
