Love the debate. Don't agree that they should trade down, but based on the strength of the respective arguments, I have to go with Matt on this one. Blake made a compelling argument, but Matt was just a teensy but better.
Give a thumb's up if Matt Sekeres made the more compelling argument!
Give a thumb's up if Blake Price made the more compelling argument!
Move back is the best option and the best argument
Trading down to fix the problem is just going to compound the Canucks lack of depth and cap issues. Sure we get cap space but we once again mortgage the future for now and the past decade will indicate that mediocrity will be guaranteed.
Hawks win a cup before canucks hands down and 5 years from now people will look back at how canucks helped the hawks to cap relief, when there going to blow that money in free agency
And the pick my turn into nothing. Petey isn't getting any young and you going to waste another Demko year. Still get a 1st and shed cap. All in trade down cause they couldn't trade any cap last year and to trade cap this year they will have to give up picks. TRADE DOWN!
I say keep the 11th and dump beavillier or Myers there's gotta be takers
Dont trade down. But loose on the trade. If alvin can get a 2nd and a center from the ahl. Then do it for besser. And a 3rd for garland. BUT REMEMBER Garland played well for tochet. Bovillier is the wild card, 1 year left on a contract. Buy him out. Alot of fool hardy moves the last 5 years has cost fans heartache clean up this mess and take the losses now and work from strength over the next 3 years. Keep all draft picks. Quit giving them away.
garland had a good worlds, looked fast and stuff, use that to get rid of him.
let chicago keep their pick. canucks trade their 11th for 2 seconds, a third and the hawks take OEL. boeser and garland are useful.
TRADE DOWN!!!!!!
sekeres won
imo it was a tie. question…if myers is traded after bonus is paid, people are saying we save 6 mil. doesn't the 5 mil count against our cap?
how about our 11th pick, jt miller and rathbone to columbus for #3
I don't want to trade down. Blake made a great point that this would be akin to a #5 or #6 in other draft years.
But I do want to say that in a devate format, I think Matt brought up great points which Blake did not address.
Sorry Blake, I think Matt got this one.
Quick comments from a Chicago Blackhawks fan:
1. Forget about OEL or Conor Garland to the Blackhawks. No GM in his right mind will eat OEL's contract for the next four years and Garland is unattractive in a trade to Chicago because he has three years remaining on his contract for a team just starting a massive rebuild. Tyler Myers is not a consideration. Only Boeser and Beauvillier are possibilities in a trade. Remember: when Chicago eats a bad contract, this is money that cannot be spent in that year's free agent pool for a LT player.
2. Riddle me this: if you keep the pick at #11, how do you manage your cap space problems? You may not want to trade #11 for #19 or for #17 with Detroit (a potential trade partner) but you are not in the driver's seat here.
Watching a lot of network hockey talk shows, I get the feeling that a lot of the people on choose to take different points of view for the sake of debate or are assigned them by producers, but at least this way the show is refreshingly honest about it.
Both arguments are sound I think if they can wait until that draft pick is ready to be picked and they can know for certain who's left to be taken at 11 would be the difference.
Rick Tocchet isn’t the right head coach for the Canucks.
