Popular Post DixonWard Posted March 6 Popular Post Share Posted March 6 Whatever happens, Let's remember that we have already added Zadorov and Lindholm. We have also cleared out the cap of Beauvillier and Kuzmenko. I will judge the trade deadline considering these factors as well as a lot of teams have done nothing to this point. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJCF96 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 1 minute ago, ngoway said: I still believe the Lindholm to Boston rumors don't hold much weight. I'm sure there have been talks, but the Canucks would be in the position of strength here as there isn't much of a need for us to move Lindholm. Can't say I've followed Zucker as of late so would be curious to hear how his play has been as of late. He's a LW though, so seems like he'd be the one to fill in on the Miller - Boeser line. Zucker forechecks and wins puck battles. Pretty much, we want a solid puck retriever to put on the line with Miller/Boeser. PDG isn't skilled enough. Mik has just been very underwhelming in the 2nd half. Zucker is the kind of player that is an upgrade on that spot. When Joshua returns, I can see them reunite the Swedish mafia line of Hoglander-Pettersson-Lindholm line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lindholm establishes himself more by playoffs; who's to say JG wouldn't need an adjustment period as well? Maybe less so, but I guess my gut just says flipping EL so soon is the wrong move. I'd rather a less expensive alternative and a depth defenseman. I also like Lindholm for his two way play that will be very useful come the playoffs - I'm surprised hes not had more impact having been successful with Sutter as coach (similar style to RT) - perhaps its an adjustment period or maybe he's been asked to have a more checking role. Not a huge fan of flipping him (since we already gave up 1st Rounder and Bruz for him) - though we don't know whats really going on behind the scenes. Also, its may be a poor perception for potential free agent in the summer. Canucks can never have enough reliable D or tough gritty wingers - IMO - I would go that direction as I've seen how the Western Conference playoffs can get pretty brutal with the hitting (with nothing being called). Will be cheaper than a JG Edited March 6 by hockeyfan-observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I would take Zucker for like a 3rd and 5th. Would be a decent add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Joshua returns, I can see them reunite the Swedish mafia line of Hoglander-Pettersson-Lindholm line. Nice, definitely sounds like a player that would compliment Miller and Boeser. Agreed as well that Hoglander - Pettersson - Lindholm as a line again would be great too. Our bottom six would also look quite nice as well as that would free us up to move Suter to center the 4th line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey God Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 The way I see what has happeend so far: It was a super IQ move by the Canucks brainstrust to get Lindholm to put some pressure on EP40 to sign ("the future is now, kid, better to sign fast"). Now, I think they may well move Lindholm to Boston to recoup what they paid for him, send Mik plus a pick (got to move that deadweight somehow) to Arizona for Zucker, and then do something to get Jake as well as some defensive depth out of Pittsburgh. And if EP40 doesn't like how thing went by the end of the season, wheneevr that is, hey, they move him for a big return before the trade clause kicks in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) I don't get the fascination with Zucker. What is it with Allvin targeting PIT players only? edit - zucker did play 4 seasons for pit, before big traded to ari Edited March 6 by Nucker67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honkin Hronek Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Cost of taking cap back is a first. Doubt Philly keeps RJ but that was Colorados 3rd line C. I wonder if *Byram* is dealt for a 2C to push Colton down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph. Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Wouldn't touch Byram at this point honestly. Decent enough as a player of course, but I don't want to gamble on any players with concussion histories for a while, given our recent luck with that.

ngoway Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 6 minutes ago, Honkin Hronek said: HOLY F That's some quick work from Colorado if so. Out = Byram and Johansen In = Walker and Mittelstadt Byram has the higher ceiling, but Walker gives them more experience and another RD. Mittelstadt is an upgrade over Johansen and adds even more fire power to a offensively talented team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksIn50 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 This is why finishing 1st in our division is a must and so important… 1st round of playoffs 3 maybe 4 powerhouses will be gone lol so reacting to what Edmonton does or Colorado does or Vegas is a moot point - great looks scary today but there is only 1 Conference champion and then 1 Stanley Cup and it’s already being etched Van……… Go Canucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
