I'd say the perfect partner for Hughes next year would be a big fella who has skills and who could be available 2019 UFA? A one Tyler Myers - sign him 6 years, re-sign Edler for 2-3 years while Juolevi strengthens his game.

Your 2019/2020 Canucks D-core:

Edler - Stecher
Hughes - Myers
Juolevi - Gudbranson


Trade Tanev to Toronto for picks/prospect.

Hutton ups his trade value this season, move him while he still has upside he shown as rookie with Willie D.

Chatfield/Brisebois start to get some pro experience this season.
Woo the darkhorse next year.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

If only Tryamkin was a right shot dman!

I'm liking our Left D long term if NT returns,
Hughes
Tryamkin
Juolevi.

Tree prefers the right side and that's where he'll end up in my opinion.

I think he comes back one year from now...

Tryamkin will return, you know he'll return - Jim Robson

Yes he prefers the right but Green has stated many times he prefers correct handness when drawing up his pairs.

I’d love for him to return but I wonder why he hopped the first bird out of town after the season ended like he was shot out of a gun. He and his wife don’t speak a lick of English. If he comes back at all it will be after his contract is done imho. I heard a while back on an IMac interview on the radio that the team may not be so eager to welcome him back

I know but I figure Green will end up making an exception in this case.

If Groot is more comfortable on the right side, he's probably a better player on the right side.

I think handedness position wise isn’t as important when you’re 6’8 260 lbs strongest guy in the league.

Hope to see him in a Canuck uniform again but I am thinking 50/50 at best.
What is even more disconcerting is that there just has to be a connection/friendship with Goldobin. Unfortunate.
Goldobin will have to absolutely shit fireballs at camp to acquire a starting roster spot, not to mention, keep it.
Tree will do what all tall trees do. Stand from afar and watch.

I think Tryamkin would serve better if he was paired with a Russian dman, why I might be an advocate for trading Tanev for Zeitsev, with picks evening it out.

Zaitsev’s contract sucks if his play stays the same as last years. However playing with tyramkin could maybe free him up a bit.

I actually thought about a Hughes-Tryamkin pairing. *hehe*
