This team is a wagon lol ever heard don’t count your chickens before they hatch or end up with Pierre Dorian syndrome lol
Garland last couple season's was on trade talks .. Yet look at the workhorse he really is ..
if they trade hoagie – this management will lose all the goodwill and currency they have earned so far. stupid idea.
Poldkolzin detroits 2027 4th and Vincent Deharnieh for Calen Addison and 6th 2027
wherever hog goes i’m goin ig
If GODKOLZIN leaves I’m Cobaining myself
dumb idea to move the young guys. let them develop. the free agents signings are short term deals.
Might be more of a move you make in season tbh
Trading pods or hogs is insane talk! Clean out Abbotsford if we need to move players!
Podkolzin, McWard, Poolman, 2027 1st rd, 2025 4th
to Calgary for
Rasmus Anderson
to make the cap work (need $1.05M), they would have to send Derek Forbort to down to AHL, Juulsen's 775K isn't enough
Hughes/Anderson
Soucy/Hronek
Desharnais/Myers
I know Des is RHD and maybe they would send him down over Forbort either way 1 would have to go down to Get Rasmus in.
They need to trade Pius Suter and Teddy Blueger away then your good to go. They both have at least 5M to both of their contracts and they only have 1 year left. I believe Suter is 3M and Blueger is 2M for one year. Trade them.
Theres no way they trade hogs. Podz is probably gone which is unfortunate since they never gave him a chance
Makes sense podkolzon and Hoglande 3 million off the Books Benning core Needs righthand shot Defense for them Benning core players lefted retooled
Canucks retooled almost finished Hoglander podkolzon Garland Boeser Demko amen De Guisssepi juulsen Hughes lefted can't afford Boeser Demko or Hughes? BENNING core
They aren’t leaving
Trading podz I could understand if it brought in a top 4 Dman, trading hogs after his best year is insanse to me
I'd say Alvain would be a fool to trade Hoglander at this time. He's a young winger coming off a breakout season, with plenty of upside yet he's still a 20 goal guy already, with the potential to peak at a 30 or even 40 goal scorer. He's good enough now to be either a legit top 6 forward and contribute well, or a high scoring bottom 6 forward. Yet he's likely to get better before he peaks and starts the decline. He's able to help the team win now, but also be the next generation of stars to step into a top line role when guys like Miller and Boesser are starting to age out of those roles and drop down to bottom 6 veteran stabilizer roles. You don't trade that away on a whim. The time to trade a guy like Hoglander away is when either he's not on course to become our next Brock Boesser, or we don't have anywhere in the lineup for him to evolve into that, but have a hole we need to fill elsewhere. Our defensive roster, while not as strong as our forward roster, is still very strong, so while it's the weakest part of the team, I'd not call it a hole. Maybe a trade to bring in someone who could replace Myres or allow us to drop him down to the 3rd pairing would be helpful, as long as we're not trading away our present and future talent to get that.
Long term, we've got guys like Juullsson, Friedman, and Desharnais, any of whom, over the next 1-4 seasons could evolve into a 2nd line blueliner, with yet more like EP-D who could evolve into our depth and 3rd liners in that time frame. We've got a team with generations of talent from veterans like Myres and Miller to players just starting to begin the first signs of their peak like Hoglander and Joshua, our bona-fide superstars like Hughes, Miller, Boesser and EP40, and Thatch. and we've got talented rookies with all kinds of potential like Lekarimaki, Karlsson, Baines and Podkolzin. That means the team has that good blend of past, present and future to build a dynasty around. Vancouver's never had that potential. Usually we either have too much future and not enough present to be a contender now, but may be someday, or we have too much past and not enough present to be a contender now, and can only reminisce over the brighter days behond us, or we have a stacked lineup of present day talent, but nobody to replace them.
Thanks to the building of Alvain and Rutherford, we've got all 3 now, and the chance to have a dominent team for the next few years, and when our top stars of today start to decline, we've got the next generations waiting in the wings to step up and keep it going for maybe a decade of dominance, like what the Red Wings had going on in the late 90s and 2000s. They had guys like Yzerman and Federov, and when they were starting to decline, then it was guys like Lidstrom to take over, then when he was starting to fall, it was Datsyuk there to take over. It was only when Datsyuk's generation started to age out and nobody was left in the system to step up that the Wings had to go into a rebuild.
Podkolzin reminds me of Bo. He's a keeper. Let the season start and see how things turn out. Then pull the trigger on some trades. For now stay put.
Trade Podz, keep Hogz. Trading hogz would be a huge mistake the Nucks would later regret
Trade the pipsqueak, Podkolzin is bigger and still has untapped potential, the kid scored 14 goals not too long ago, and Miller raved about him.
Barron for podkolzin
Give Demidov a Russian buddy to help him when he comes over
Sucks but Podz is probably healthy scratch to start the year
