I think you forgot to add on the Vancouver trade because in no world do you get a teams 2nd best prospect plus a first for a camp dump, That was the asking price of OEL with retention from Arizona and was still declined from Van so I don't see why you would think they would do that trade with someone worse coming the other way

A 3 I look at these trades from the eyes 👀 f the Gm not represented

Why can’t people understand that the Canucks don’t need to move Loui. They’ve purposely signed nobody so they don’t have to move picks! Their window is after the dead weight is gone

Read the tea leaves. It ain’t difficult

Stastny for a 4th, first trade for him was a win as well
Demelo for a 3rd
Kane trade
trading Ladd and no resigning
the way the Trouba trade is looking rn

Hayes trade didnt pan out but 0 blame to chevy

only trade a have issues with is the vegas trade at the expansion draft.. really lost alot to keep the roster intact, but hey made it to the confrence finals.. only to lose to Vegas and after that lost on the bidding war with Vegas on Stastny............................ sigh...

as for his draft record

Lowry
Hellebuyck
Copp
Harkins
Appleton
Niku
Berdin
Samberg
Gustafsson
Nikkanen
Lundmark

to name a bunch
big hit or miss

Chevy likes trading those i noticed
had 3 picks out of the 1st round in 2020
4 in 2019
other teams may look like they draft better there but have twice as many picks as well

“Frenchie”?

Perrault, or Jesus depending on whether he has cut his hair or shaved

Do people actually call him that?

-Whats he got to show for the Ladd trade?
-How's the 2016 draft trade working out? L.Stanley?
-The Mason dump trade wasn't necessary! Cost us Armia!
-Almost nothing left from the Kane trade as Roslo wants out.
-Held onto Trouba too long, likely would've gotten a better return had he traded him earlier.
-Overpaid for Hayes AND that team was a trainwreck and wasn't worth investing in, should've been selling UFA's for picks not trading for Hayes, Hendricks, Beaulieu, P.Lindholm and Kisilevich.
-Eakin was a cap dump, Vegas should've paid the Jets to take him.
-Stastny trade #2, see the Eakin trade above

He isn't active enough improving this lineup in my opinion, tons of minor trades happen every season that he doesn't make that could make this team better, where was he this offseason when D.Toews and R.Murray were traded for a few measly picks?

Other then Hellebuyck that's a pretty unimpressive list and a lot of good goalies are drafted in later rounds so even getting Helly where they did isn't that impressive, maybe Harkins and Samberg amount to something yet and hopefully Berdin as well but the rest are either 4th liners, 3rd pair dmen, busts or a 3rd liner at best so I don't see how that's some impressive draft record, honestly I don't think the Jets drafting is much better then any other teams if it is at all, maybe drafting is all luck idk but a lot of teams have found top 6 forwards and top 4 D after the 1st round whereas the Jets haven't.

Chevy has hit on some 1st round picks and signed some good value contracts but I think you could probably say that about a lot of GM's, I think he gets a lot of credit when really idk if he's been any better then any other GM, if he fu*ks up the Laine situation he needs to be fired.

Absolutely

-a player not signed 5.5 mill for 7 years that the islanders regret ever since signing him (Rosi a nice +)
- trade up to get a defenceman, didnt pan out (but not like the players taken after him r that hot either) so eh
- that trade was prob more saving $$ out of owners pockets and guess it took Armia, guess he was expendable with Rosi wanting full time minutes
-not fair to judge a trade that happened more then 5 years ago like that.. he won the trade then, even now the package is worth more then Kane
-thats what it took to get Hayes.. simple as that, overpaying is common in a bidding war..... and it was easily the best time to get him and try to turn the ship around with Laine, Conner going off ELC and Myers Tanev, Chirot, looking at UFA.. as well as Wheelers raise kicking in
-Eakin was a deadline deal right before playoffs.. a 3rd line center on a expiring deal for a 3rd, thats fair
-Stastny is hardly a cap dump at all.. a full season of him, where at the deadline if he plays decent he would be worth a 1st, we only got him that cheap cause Vegas was desperate to shed cap and the covid situation


actively doing trades is tricky
u dont want to trade for a player if he doesnt want to be here or have any plans of staying long term... Winnipeg's a hard sell :/ harsh reality

there r a few more.. Niku a 7th rounder, won AHL calder and best defensemen last year.. got screwed over by injuries this year though
Copp and Lowry
Nikkanen looks interesting, Gustafsson as well.. rest from recent years r to young to know
drafting in the later rounds has alot to do with luck... lets say with Tampa, they got Kuch in the 2nd and Point in the 3rd, if they had the slightest idea of how good they would turn out to be they NEVER wouldve let them fall that far

same with the jets on Helle.. if they though he had the chance to win the Vezina one day, they would picked him up at 2nd, 3rd round not the 5th

the jets draft really well at the 1st round, at the places they were picking and still finding those elite players... thats a feat really hard to think of a team better them the jets at that (would say BOS but the 2015 draft.... ouch) VAN past few years actually, PHI maybe?

but we'r on the same page at the Laine situation....... thats chevy's and maurice's mess

Shoot if the Wings would've drafted him, He would've spent 2 seasons in Saginaw and 2 season in Grand Rapids. Detroit made the right decision with Lucas Raymond.

Relax dude, there were tons of posts recently, some from Canucks fans, on the cost of moving LE. Benning tried to find a trade but found no partners because of the cost of doing so, and there were plenty of articles and reports stating as such. Tampa paid a 2nd to move 2 expiring contracts (both of whom are playing better than LE) of a combined 3.5M that expires after one year, LE has 2 more years at almost double the cap hit.
While I don’t disagree that that chances of Vancouver moving him are slim, remember, this is all just fantasy here at CapFreindly and the proposal was more about the cost of moving him. The value is there and is accurate based on past history of such trades. But I agree, he doesn’t get moved based on the cost alone to do so.

They definitely did
