This one may be pretty accurate. Adrian Dater is a major sports personality in Denver with a good reputation.

Better be for Barrie + then. No real problem with trading Virtanen, next year 1st would have to be lottery protected too.

Top 10 protected. Even with Barrie this roster as is, is pretty scabby.

If we did get Barrie and not give up Horvat, that along with a Myers signing, we could challenge for a playoff spot.

True. Still concerned about the now projected 8 million per year contract for Barrie, July 1st 2020. He will be turning 29 later that month.
That projection is considering another similar statistical year.
Even if only 7 million, the next year is Pete, Quinn and soon Marky needs a new one too.
Some contracts need to disappear. Eriksson/Sutter etc.
NHL salary cap maybe iffy..

I;m all for going for the playoff, but I would like to be a playoff team for multiple years.
I don't know why that three five foot ten guys on defense bothers me.
Dude would tell me it doesn't matter in the new NHL.
Maybe he's right. I don't know. Is he?

I think it's a foregone conclusion at this point that Eriksson is gone. The question is what replaces him. Maybe we'll get lucky and he will simply not report to the team and we can suspend him and be done.

Dreger says on WGR550 that Sakic had an offer on the table for Tyson Barrie and slept on it. Could get done later today, re-mentions that VAN has lots of interest in Barrie.

I read that. Sounds like two separate things.
He's probably been contacted many times in the last few days...

[ESQ]

Barrie is pretty close to a 60-point defenceman - that's pretty much what I hope Quinn will be. He was in the top-10 in the league for dmen scoring, on a team that barely made it into the playoffs.

If we acquire him, while keeping Tanev, that's a top-4 of Edler-Tanev/Hughes-Barrie. With Stecher-Hutton on the bottom pairing, instead of playing 25+ minutes.

And if this upgrade to the top-4 happens, it's without blowing the wad in this free agency, leaving plenty of cap room.

I'm a big Virtanen fan, and very bullish on him, but I don't know if he'll hit 55+ points consistently like Barrie. And I like Miller, but I give him a zero percent chance of being a top-10 in the league defenceman.

[Mickey107]

2016-the last one;....Not that it matters.

[Mickey107]

If the Canucks were to take on the last year of David Clarkson's (if we are not on his to trade list), with Vegas,
we could put something together to acquire Collin Miller.
This would be more palatable then spending 6 or 7 or more per yr. for a UFA defense man.

Vancouver can’t trade their 2020, 1st. It’s already been traded conditionally. And they can’t trade their 2021 1st until we know if they’ll lose their 2020 one.

Getting Barrie won’t involve 1st now.


Kipper reporting that Barrie has already let the media know he wants to play in VCR when he hits FA. Says this has made it back to the Canucks which is why Benning balked at the price. Canucks believe there is a strong possibility they can sign him next year.

Sakic knows this too. So do some other GMs who have been inquiring. So there is uncertainty about whether an acquiring team can get him under contract now.

So i wonder if this is what he has cooking for dmen. It would also explain the interest in Myers...your puck moving mobility issues would be addressed with Barrie and Hughes...

We all know Benning will pay fair market, he doesn’t seem to be able to use leverage to win a trade. I think he will try to use this to get a better deal but not a steal. If the Canucks really think Barrie will test FA and his preference is VCR they may wait a year.

It’s really up to Sakic. He’s done pretty well trading away assets.

Wasn't suggesting using a first round pick for Collin Miller. Was eating Clarkson's contract and maybe a player like Jake cause he's cheap.
Though I'd rather it be Goldy or Biega...It would also have to include a prospect, not anything that people would get too upset about.
I suppose a few teams could do the same, too bad, he'd be my choice.

Barrie is good but another five foot ten guy. Splashy for the fans I guess. BC boy comes home.
I know: do both.
