Re-booted SKYO approved pipe dreams and trade ideas

[Chef Boi RD]

Trading Willander could be giant future fuck up in the making

Maybe we need someone running things who has a longer expiration date

Well said, agreed

Where are these rumours of trading Willander coming from?

Skyo's haunting us.

Not so much as a rumour as it is with what the “other” teams are wanting in return for what the Canucks are seeking. Rutherford and Allvin are in a pickle. IMO, the pieces to move are:

Scooter boo
Hronek
Demko or Silovs or Lankinen
Garland
Joshua
Sherwood
Mancini
Lekkerimaki
DeBrusk
M-Pete

The untouchables are:

Hughes
Willander
D-Pete
2025 1st

That’s if I was running the show

My only untouchable is Hughes

Willander or D Petey or the 2025 1st would need to be part of a package bringing back a legit top 6 forward, IMO.

Don't do it. Teams always get squirrely around October 1st, and forwards will be available cheap.

Part of why I said "legit top 6 forward." Also would come down to what exactly was the cost to acquire said player. I would be very hesitant to trade any of them though.

With these guys on ELC for 2 and 3 seasons that is going to be huge cap wise for the Canucks moving forward the next couple of seasons. They shouldn't give them away easily.

Hughes is untouchable “for now”

That could change if they get a sense at season’s end Quinn wants to test the UFA waters. I’ll be damned if we walk him to July a la - Flames did with Gaudreau.

“He wants to play with his brothers” - Jim Rutherford

“He wants to play with his brothers” - Jim Rutherford

I don't think he even knew what can of worms he was opening with that line. Then again, I'm not sure his brain was doing much when he said it.

The thing with Rutherford is you don't quite know if he's having a rambling senior's moment, or if he is sending out strategic messages with these lines.

He's great for the ink-stained masses who eat this shit up. I can't imagine he's similarly appreciated by his colleagues in the league.
