Thread: Tough Decisions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Lindholm probably has #1 center options in Boston or Nashville.

That premium forward would require Mikyhaev traded and he’s a negative value at his salary or getting rid of Hronek (who I believe important for your defensive structure). I see Ilya’s salary difference as the difference between someone like Guentzel vs someone like Toffoli or DeBrusk. I could also see Joshua getting more than anticipated on the open market.</div></div>

Yeah I think Lindholm ends up in Boston. Feels like it makes too much sense to not happen

I’d be okay with Debrusk or Toffoli or Teravainen to play with Pettersson if we can’t move Mikheyev. Obviously Guentzel would be great but I’m not expecting him

Agree with you that Joshua could get more than expected. Hoping he’d take around 3M to stay with the Canucks

Thread: Pettersson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_92</b></div><div>No it wouldn’t. Be real.

1. You acquire Pettersson to play with guys like Thompson and Dahlin to help build the team competitively, not trade them for him.

2. Dahlin has no place in Vancouver. Hughes is already the #1 d-man and the PP guy so Dahlin would play behind him. That’s a step down for him and not where he’s best to succeed.

3. Pettersson is more in the Owen Power value range than Dahlin.</div></div>

1) The Canucks aren’t rebuilding so they aren’t trading Pettersson for futures. It would be for pieces to stay competitive like Thompson or Dahlin

2) Dahlin can play the right side or he could be the best 2nd pair dman in the league. Obviously it’s not the most ideal situation for him as he’s suited to be the #1 guy on a team but it could still work

3) Pettersson is far closer in value to Dahlin than he is Power. That’s not debatable. He’s a borderline top 5 center in the league. 90-100 point centers who are very good defensively don’t grow on trees. He’s worth just as much if not more than Dahlin, and quite a bit more than Power

Thread: Trade Ive seen everywhere by Vancouver fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AlTintin1122</b></div><div>It’s Vancouver fans that really want Tkachuk.

You can’t call Staios and be like I want Tkachuk , I’ll give you Pettersson but you need to add.

If you want Tkachuk , it’s the Canucks that need to overpay for him</div></div>

It’s irrational Canucks fans that want to trade Pettersson because he’s struggling while playing through an injury and with offensive black holes as his linemates. Despite struggling for the last month+ of the season and playing on a line with Mikheyev all season he still had more points than Brady has ever had

A 90-100 point, great defensive center, who’s a borderline top 5 center in the league, and is signed long term is worth a lot more than a 70-80 point, physical, good but not elite 1st line winger who’s bad defensively

Thread: Nucks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div>You know I had a thought, he might do well going back to Toronto. Maybe him, Garland, and Hoglander for a 2024 1st? Toronto needs depth. I don’t think Van is going to keep Lindholm so maybe they flip that for a true 3rd line C?</div></div>

Doesn’t make sense for us to move Garland or Hoglander.

Garland was one of our best forwards this year. He’s great offensively, great defensively, and an elite play driver.

And Hoglander provides cheap scoring depth. Had 24 goals this season, all at 5v5 which put him top 10 in the league in 5v5 scoring. Having him at 1.1M next season will be big

I’d be fine moving Mikheyev, even paying a bit to dump him if necessary, but moving Garland and Hoglander for futures doesn’t make sense for us
