Re-booted SKYO approved pipe dreams and trade ideas

[Meds]

The ship is possibly sailing for me on McTavish.

A healthy scratch in the post-season, struggling under Coach Q this year to the tune of regressing back to a minus player and a 10 point drop in production.

It could also just be the first year of a big contract slump.

I’m still taking him if EP40 goes the other way.

Some dood on twitter is suggesting that Cam Neely may want to get a 1C to play with Pasternak as E.Lindholm is not cutting it.

E.Linholm & Big Zaddy

We get back 2 former Nucks. We do get a bit older, but 2 solid vets to help with the rebuild and we cut the Petey contract.

What should we do with our goalie situation? Do we really run the 3 headed beast, or do we trade Lankinen. He had a career worst season last year.

I put this in SKYO"s thread, as i don't see any good options, just the crazy shit is left.

Should we assume Lankinen will bounce back? Are his numbers down cuz we really sucked in front of him? Will a change in coaching style make him good again? We really struggled with Foote's system last year, and I don't know if we are changing it, our players develop enough to run his system, or if we play a defense first system and lose a lot of 2-1 games instead of 5-3 losses..

Can Lankinen be traded for a positive return? Or do we need him in case Demmer discovers another muscle/tendon to blow before the Winds of November come? (Yep, a sinking ship reference for the Gordon Lightfoot fans)

Or, fuck it. Tolopilo and some other Abby kid can play net, as we build a losing culture and get another 3rd overall pick?

If the Canucks are truly committed to a rebuild, I would try to trade Demko. I would even be willing to retain on it, could help getting a decent return. It would not be an ideal situation but might be the best, bad move they could make in regards to their G situation.

A 'healthy' Demko has trade value.

Lankinen has none with that contract.

Move Demko for a pick and prospect and start developing the future netminders in-house. I thought Tolopilo had more potential, but I don't see him ever becoming a starter.

Make it so, would you Todd.

I think the best case for Demko trade return is "whatever you can get" and even then I don't see why team's wouldn't balk at that contract.. LTIR isn't as exploitable as it used to be.

I suspect we'll see the odd Thatcher cameo over the next few years and that's it, but maybe if he comes back and puts in a full season we can trade him later.

DON'T RETAIN LONG CONTRACTS.

simply take less if your moving on from him.

If we trade him right away, yeah, stupid.

Trade him in year two then it's only a 1.5 year retention.....if it's a hell of an offer then not stupid.
