Surprised Thomas, Fabbri, Parayko, Kyrou would be available. They’ve made stupid trades - the O’Reilly acquisition was dumbass. It’s obvious that ROR is a disruption, where ever he goes his team’s suck. He’s not a glue guy. They need a retool, Tarasenko, ROR, Bouwmeester and Schwartz is who they should be dangling

I would see what Schwarz’s Price would be. None of the kids will come without a significant tag. Everybody else, y’Idunno...

Parayko would be a welcome addition to the Canucks defense. However, his price tag and contract might be too much for the Canucks.

It would be something like Boeser and a 1st kind of thing. Ya no thanks.

I guess theres no shortcuts any more unless a gm is extremely lucky like that Janne many letters in columbus

Canucks untouchables are: Horvat, Pettersson, Boeser and Hughes. Everyone else can be had for a price. Only 1 of Demko and DiPietro should be available.

Ya, pretty much agree but I wouldn't toss Jake either. So much upside to what he's really starting to do.
Last night in the third, he acted like the perfect power forward that was there for his mates, skated great, got into the opponents faces, without
taking a penalty, and was an offensive threat. Big progress this year.

If he could learn to punch someone out he'd take the next step. Agree on him in my new core list all the way. Without a prick or 2 teams dont usually win (kunitz, brown, cooke, etc)

I could see Jake starting to fight more, he’s coming to the conclusion that he’s the biggest strongest guy on the ice most of the time. That game against phaneuf was a good one for him. As he gets his confidence up I think he’ll be more willing to do it. Now I don’t think he’ll ever be drawing in against the lucic’s, reaves and other heavy weights, but the roussell level guys I don’t think he’ll be scared of.

When he hits that tipping point where it's true unmitigated anger, think Dan will see what he, we, want.

Ole Jake is gearing up for it. I can’t wait until him and Matthew Tkachuk go at it. Ya just hope that Tkachuk (Blobbee’s Boi) wont shamefully drop to the ice turtling like he did when Kassian challenged him. Disgusting that.

I don’t think he has it in him unfortunately. He’s a powerful kid but he’s not a fighter. He got tuned up by 165 pound Bobby Farnham and had a massive black eye after the fight. He looked like the Dude after he tossed haymakers with the sailors at the Dufferin Hotel.

He’s been getting fighting lessons from Guds. He’s ready to roll, Macenzzi. He won’t be flopping to the ice hiding in his shell like a turtle like ole Matthew Tkachuk did with Kassian. No way Jose
