Seattle Expansion/Canucks players

[Topper]

I may move to Victoria just the shit and flush Seatlle's way.

With the announcement official teams can start planning asset management. Don’t sign Hughes until July, forget him getting games this season and keep him exempt. My two cents

Saying Excellent point would be an understatement.

[SKYO]

It would be worth a pick if they promised to take Eriksson and left everyone else alone. Depending upon who we had to expose I’d give them a 2nd rounder.

Nope, never give up any picks, didn't ya learn from Vegas fiasco where they robbed everyone? just expose who you gotta expose and let the chips fall as they may.

As it stands currently the Canucks only have 3 players under contract for the 2021-22 season.
Years left:
Eriksson 1yr (exposed)
Roussel 1yr (exposed)
Horvat 2yr (protected)

Petey, Jake, Boeser, Dahlen, Gaud
Hughes, OJ

Demko

And who knows what players are traded or signed within these next 2-3 years, it's mind boggling trying to predict what the team will look like in a few years.

Much like the last expansion draft I don’t think the Canucks will be losing a good player

Wrong.

They lost a replacement slug last expansion draft who had to try out for the garbage Islanders before he got a contract. He was junk

[Tciso]

And, if they promise to claim Eriksson in the expansion draft, I'll promise to buy season tickets.

Wow - I didn't realize you such an Eriksson fan!

I like Eriksson, but I don't like his contract for the last 2 years. Well, I don't like his contract right now either, but it isn't hurting the Canucks. In 2 years, it will be hurting us once we get our new core on long term contracts.

Let's try this again.

You are wrong in saying your Vancouver Canucks will not be losing a good player in the Seattle expansion draft.

They might be. But people were lighting their hair on fire and pissing their pants about losing Markus Granlund in the Vegas draft. We put the hair fires out with the piss soaked jeans and the team lost Sbisa. The Canucks have zero depth now and have had zero depth for five years. You think all of a sudden they will have this amazing depth. LOL

Links?

Strawman builder grasping at straws...

Canucks will lose one of the fine young prospects that YOU love.

Is it too much to ask that you do a little research before your post Mr McKenzie?

Thank you and have a good evening.

[Blob Mckenzie]

And if they do ... who gives a fuck? One prospect, big fucking deal. They haven’t lost one yet so why panic?

Should they stop accumulating good young players and trade picks away to avoid losing someone decent?

Oh yeah they already tried that strategy.

[Strangelove]

YOU will.

And he will likely be more than a prospect by then...

Right. But if Benning has an opportunity to manage assets he should do so or, heaven forbid, he will be crucified for not doing so and we lose a good prospect we could have otherwise protected. Keeping Hughes off the books for 10-15 games to allow us flexibility is a sound plan. However, it could piss off the Hughes camp that they don’t get to burn a year this season. It’s not like Hughes will lead us to a Cup this season anyway.

My main point is GMs need to be somewhat forward thinking.

[Strangelove]

It's too bad the expansion draft wasn't in 2020 (as originally forecast).

We would've been fine, but now?

Gonna lose a good one...

[Blob Mckenzie]

Who cares?

The guy has hemorrhaged draft picks and you guys didn’t give a shit but now you do?

And Wids he has never managed assets before, why would he start now?
