I wonder what trading away Hutton could get at the trade deadline as far as a top line left winger for next season?
The Canucks have okay depth on left defense if Edler resigns and Hughes signs. They could sign a depth left side defenseman in the off season and have Sautner, Tryamkin, and Brisebois for depth. It they could get a top winger it might be worth the move.

Why spend 4 seasons developing and living through the mistakes of a young defence man and trade him just as he's turning the corner into an NHL D-man? Whose to say Tryamkin is coming back? He showed up to camp in 2016 resembling Big Country Reeves and ran home to mother Russia before his contract even expired. Make him stay in Russia until his current contract is up and tell him then he can make $40 million+ in his career in the NHL but he must show up to camp at 240 lb in shape. Until then, fuck him. Edler wants a four year deal, probable wants NMC as well. For an aging, now injury prone D-man, he isn't going to get that anywhere. So whose to say he signs here? Have Sautner and Brisbois shown they're NHL ready? I haven't seen it. If you haven't noticed, Hutton and Stetcher, two young defence men who have struggled in their NHL development have had to play big minutes in the absence of Edler and Tanev. They've acquitted themselves well. I have no problem trading them if it makes the team better but I don't see how trading Hutton for a forward helps the team if there is no one in the organization or on the free agent market to replace him..

You do know there were posters here advocating trading Horvath for P.K. Subban and Boeser for McAvoy or Seth Jones, don't you? Shows how thin our D is. Why make it thinner?

Hopefully Elmer isn’t on a bender this weekend.

Seems to be a decent market out there for depth players.

Pretty good time to thin out the herd

Ole Jimbro is a trickster, like a combination of Blondie from the Good, the Bad, the Ugly and Cool Hand Luke. He’s got everyone fooled except Doc, Dude and Tops.

Jimbro has got shit figured out. Ahead of the curve

I think he’s more of a combination of Lennie Small and Jim Ignitowski

His amateur acouting is on point but I'd say his pro scouting dept is lacking. Has Bennings regime flat out won a trade yet involving pros?

Not only that. The free agent signings have been mostly poor as well. Fire most if not all of the pro scouting staff.

If by pros you must mean the fringe players, cause I can't think of a trade that involved a pro that isn't getting benched multiple times a year.
The talent level is at the point were the sideways trades for underachieving projects is a little pointless. There's enough underachieving ufa's
taking roster spots as it is,the team needs a couple of producing L wingers and proven puck moving RHD's.

Ya its a mess. What are the chances anyone would bite on eriksson? He is a huge fuckup and his 2 goals a year or whatever is an embarrassment. We would probably need to throw in a pick ffs
