The Rebuild...

[Strangelove]

Canucks Green should bring up Jordan Subban for 2017/18 season and see what he can do in the bigs, if anything build up his trade value, asset management.

Yes, especially the latter part.

But Subban is not ready yet.

And he's not waivers-eligible for another year.

Leave him on the farm for another year and then perhaps do as you say.

Dudes' gonna be like 40 years old next year, it's do or die for him, and I think he'll surprise the masses if given the chance next year, Jordan Subban is much better prepared for a NHL gig (age/experience wise) than Juolevi at this point.

If we trade Edler or Tanev out, a Sbisa(if not chosen in expansion) - Subban 3rd pairing can form.

Two full years in the AHL, successful ones at that for Subban, I'd say he's ready, Green will have trust in him and fully know his ability.

Too many runts on the team already, trade Subban at the draft.

Edler - Tanev
Hutton - Gudbranson
Sbisa - Stecher
Pedan - Biega

One more year in Junior for Juolevi...

I want to increase the muscle and he-man size on this team as much as the next guy, but alas if given a possible Ryan Ellis/Krug/Barrie/Spurgeon type dman on our bottom pairing on one of the worst points stats defense in the league, we are going to have to explore this back-to-back 35+ pts in the AHL dman.

And if we are going with Travis Green's mission statement: Score more goals!
Subban should be on the bottom pairing.

Edler - Stecher
Hutton - Gudbranson
(Cheap UFA vet) - Subban
Pedan - Bulldog.

Those are our 3 QB's to transition out of the d-zone and help with the attack up front, plus Subban gives QB injury depth to the team if Stecher gets hurt. QB's the new hottness in the league.

Surround those QB's with the tower of powers, with the lone veteran Edler, sign a cheap veteran for one year.

Tanev dealt in JB's first real big stamp-on-the-team hockey trade.

[Strangelove]

Yeahno, don't need 3, time to cash in on Subban's great AHL numbers + name.

Buh-bye Jordan!

Can't trade Tanev now that the Tree has defected...

Just something JB can kick tires on, never know when there will be a boston joe thornton scenario teams wanting cap space, depth yada yada. RFA centers who know how to pass and make plays with the best of em and are relatively youthful.

1) 21yr old Leon Draisaitl ($925K) (it's just facts, but the Oil would be wise to overpay quickly, otherwise he's worthy of the rare offersheet of around $9.1M-$9.3M per.
Where the compensation is two firsts, a second and third-round picks.

2) 24yr old Ryan Johansen ($4M)

3) 22yr old Alex Wennberg is like Henrik the assist machine. ($925K)

4) Markus big bro 25yr old Mikael Granlund (26 goals - 43 assists!) ($3M)


honourable mention Johnson and Spooner, but they can kick rocks.
Johnson will get overpaid but is proven in the playoffs, granted he had some superb wingers there in tampa. Spooner is Wellwood 2.0

Sam Reinhart is a topic of trade discussion, Sabres are stacked top 2 centers in Eichel and ROR, with Johan Larsson as their 3rd C, so Reinhart wasn't used "properly" by Bylsma.

Reinhart is their best trade chip at improving their defense.
