I had thought there was a rule that a player isn't tradeable after the team accepts the arbitration ruling, but I must have had that mixed up with matching an offer sheet.

You may also be thinking of walk away rights if the award exceeds 3.5 million.
I remember a lot of posting at the time of the Weber offer sheet, about whether there was some way for the Canucks to trade for him, but I think a team can't match an offer sheet then trade the guy.
IF only the Canucks had some fucking WHL scouts back then...or any decent scouts overall instead of that micky mouse operation back in all the Canucks existence before Jimmy came aboard.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Bo, Gaunce and Hutton are the only players left that were drafted by the last regime. If you include the entire league, Connauton and Schroeder round out the abysmal era that was Gillis & co.

37 draft picks over six entry drafts and only one single legitimate player. :shock:

Absolutely appalling.

Just imagine if they drafted well though, they could have won a cup.

Nobody they would have drafted from 08-10 would have helped win a cup in 2011.

Don’t say Karlsson because he was a big reach for Ottawa

wouldn't have won a cup, but perhaps made the Twinsition a little less painful

Must be why those 2nd and 3rd rounders are so important to stockpile.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

That’s what smart GMs do when rebuilding. More lottery tickets= more chances to draft a good player.

Point is nobody drafted two seasons earlier was likely going to make much of an impact on a cup run.

All players easily squeezed on to a payroll in a cap system, the same can’t be said about a Norris Trophy Dman looking to sign his $10 million per retirement contract

That's interesting, I thought that as a rule every recent Cup winner had key players on ELCs on their roster.

Pens 2009 - Letang and Staal
Hawks 2010 - Craword, Kane and Toews
Bruins 2011 - Seguin was a minor player, Marchand was on ELC
Kings 2012 - they had no rookies
Hawks 2013 - Shaw and Saad
Kings 2014 - Pearson and Toffoli
Hawks 2015 - Saad and Teravainen
Penguins 2016 - Sheary, Murray, Maatta, Rust
Penguins 2017 - Murray, Sheary, Guentzel
Caps 2018 - no rookies

I suppose most of these players were more than draft +2 by the time they made an impact, but I think as a rule, Cup winners have ELC players in key roles on their championship runs.

You’d be better off to mention the players Vancouver had a chance at drafting in 08-10 that would have had an impact in the 11 playoffs. As said already Karlsson was rated in the late 20s and obviously was a great gamble. Using him is a bit disingenuous.

Who are the guys the Canucks could have legitimately drafted from 08-10 that would have sealed that cup?

Only possible ones would be: Eberle, Josi and Ryan O'Rielly. We traded our 2010 pick.
