Hughes Traded Thread

[Meds]

Just realized something. Do the Canucks now have 3 rookie defensemen in their top 6 D core? That’s wild.

No, he was Wild.

[Ronning's Ghost]

We will never again see a player of his ilk in a Canucks uniform.

No need to project limits on to the first 1OA in franchise history before we've ever even seen him in the NHL.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Yeah man, I’m done.

Can even the HGs keep this team from the best odds at the 1st overall?

Hope it’s equally as bad next season, forcing the ouster of this regime and EP begging to be traded too.

I'm with you Carl. It's unbearable.

*not seeing the Jewish thing though guys. What's that all about?

Buium being Jewish American is sure to be castrated by those allowed to take over our country by the Liberal Gov't.

I jest Megs but something like that....

Liam Ohgren.....another fucking Swede, I'm glad that Rutherford and Allvin are probably gone after this. He has 0 points in 18 games with the Wild this year and 5 points in 9 games in the AHL. At 21 years of age he's hardly setting the world on fire. Low expectations, likely back in the SHL when he's 25.

He also tallied 19 goals and 37 points over 41 games in the AHL last year...so let's call a spade a spade.

He’s a good player. I think reuniting ohgren with Lekkerimaki will be be good for both players

[Meds]

Pettersson and Demko are both here for the duration of their deals barring an incredible turnaround, or some far less than savvy pilots at the helm of another organization.

...and Boeser....

Possibly. Although Boeser is not has heavily overpaid, he has always been a guy that needed a Bertuzzi to his Naslund (to use Canucks historical parlance).

Did you mean circumcised.....oh wait, that ship as likely sailed. Sorry.

Absolutely AMAZING haul for Vancouver all things considered.

Only if you hold the Minnesota scouting department in high esteem.

The most valuable part of the haul is the first round pick. Buium will likely do the American thing and bolt at the first opportunity - being Jewish in a Canadian market puts a bullseye on the poor kid. Ohgren has utterly underwhelmed and Rossi is a shrimp who has never been a PPG player.

They’re placeholders till Pettersson is gone and the next wave, starting with this draft, is ready for bigger minutes.

I mostly agree with this part of your analysis, with the exceptions that:

1) Ohgren might not have done anything impressive yet, but he's awfully young to give up on, and Swedes tend to thrive in Vancouver.
2) Rossi is short, but not tiny. That minor defence aside, there doesn't seem to have been anything impressive about him so far, and unlike the other two, I think he's too old to hope for much further development.
3) I think that some of the next wave is already with the organization. I think that Raty, Cootes, and Willander could still be with the team the next time they go deep into the playoffs.

Edit:
4) Even if Buium never gets comfortable in Vancouver, he's still pretty clearly an asset. If it seems like he wants to move on, do the pump 'n' dump and flip for an asset they can use, or parlay.

Rossi is old? Drafted in 2020, same draft as Lafreniere, Byfield, Stutzle. Is that old?

[Picker of Cherries]

Pretty sure if they finish 32nd, they won’t win the lottery.

Canuck Luck, yah know.

[Carl Yagro]

Lever raises hand carefully....

I meant before this season started, but yeah, we knew JR would do this. Was hoping FA would come to his senses first.

Yeah, who would ever believe that?

JR convinces we can rebuild and remain competitive, the owner of course agrees.

[JelloPuddingPop]

We will never again see a player of his ilk in a Canucks uniform.

No need to project limits on to the first 1OA in franchise history before we've ever even seen him in the NHL.

That's a big IF.

Especially for the Canucks

[donlever]

I don't care about Brocks paycheck.

He can't skate well enough for the current iteration of this league today.

2 years from now he'll appear as though to be lumbering around like Harold Snepsts out there....

[Cousin Strawberry]

Hews is Jewish...btw

Underwhelming and can't say in surprised. The old man just fucked us in the ass

See Larry...this is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass

[Megaterio Llamas]

Mr Aquilini is thinking playoffs now, sure as I'm sitting here.

Oh the ugliness...

[Carl Yagro]

How does this senile old man have 3 rings?

I’m sure our first round opponent will be the Wild. Frankie with the playoff revenues. Woo!
