What trades do you think will actually happen this season?

[Chef Boi RD]

The team is in thirty-second place, and we're in a hybrid retool on the fly.

I don't understand why everyone isn't excited.

I’m excited about the next two drafts, and a possibility of a quick rebuild. Does that count?
I’m not excited about this draft’s centres, but there are top line wingers available of which the Canucks IMO currently have no legitimate ones.
If management drafts from this draft’s strength, which is always a good strategy, they could end up with a top line winger in McKenna, Stenberg, or Belchetz, which would be a great start.
The strength of the 2027 draft is looking like centres. If the Canucks can get a legitimate top line centre out of that draft they could be on their way. My biggest concern is management will try to patch holes by trading away draft picks; but if not, this management has assembled a team that has a very good shot at the top draft pick in both 2026 and 2027. Now that’s exciting!

Definitely a better Center crop in 2027. French Canadian - Alexis Joseph is so far leading the way to go first overall and he’s a big centre - 6’-4” who is being compared to Nathan McKinnon. The next two centres are Americans - Nelson and Meyer, both are strong candidates to go top 5. Of course you have D-man - DuPont, expected to go top 5.

I'm excited to have all my friends here to talk Canucks with.

Happy New Year, everyone.

Happy 2026 back at ya, Megs.

People talk about Gen Z and virtual social networks of people they've never physically met. This place - and all of you - have been that for me since the '90s. Gen X was there first.

Buuuuutt... back to the topic at hand....

If one is a bit of an optimist, depending on what vets they keep or trade and how high (and well) they draft, a Tampa Bay-like transition from the Lecavalier/St-Louis core to the Stamkos/Hedman core isn't out of the question.

I think the only reason management should have to keep any vet is the leadership role they can play with the new core - and even then you only need so many of those. Otherwise, the more lottery tickets you can grab - no matter where in the draft order they are.

As for Petey, no matter the return it seems to me that just getting him out of the dressing room would be addition by subtraction. Start clean.

Pretty much this. It's a clean break and good for both the player and team to get a fresh restart at this point. LA, Dallas, Raleigh seem to be the best destinations? Just a feeling, no links provided.

The only core members left would be Demko and Brock, good guys that you'd be happy for if they decided to get a shot at winning elsewhere before losing any more years.
