I dont think we need a RHD, Ruhwedel has been fine

Disagree. He’s not good enough for the playoffs

I mean maybe. But right now were fine defensively. Maybe that changes getting closer to the deadline, but nothing needs to be done right now

Is the Isles move Mayfield this season and in division it would be for a 1st and Pitt would probably not do that so do not see a trade here.

canucks decline.Not sure we would have any interest in DeSmith.

I absolutely love the Mayfield trade. He's exactly the type of player we need and would be a huge help for the playoffs. I do think Ruhwedle is playing well enough to be a starter, but having that depth will only help us.

But we would absolutely be interested in nabbing a 3rd rounder, especially to rid ourselves of Halak's performance bonuses if we aren't making the playoffs

You’re getting g a 3rd for free. Desmith and Halak are both UFAs

We aren’t making trades for February. We make them for April. Ruhwedel is not what we need for a 7 game series. You need someone who can take a hit and clear the front of the net to play with Matheson. Ruhwedel is a 7th D

A first simply isn’t going to happen from any team

so if we make the playoffs which back up would you feel comfortable with. Halak or DeSmith.

Not a good back up at all.would not want him backing up Demmer going into the olayoffs even for a free 3rd.

Probably not, it's just that everyone would expect the Canucks to be a 1st round casualty if they make it, no matter who the backup goaltender is

Nah I'm agreeing with u. I meant Ruhwedle is good depth to have and Mayfield would be a great 6th. He's a great contrast to Matheson who will give the offense for that line, while he'll wear the other team down. He beat us up in the playoff series and would rather have him on our team then play against someone like him.

My man sorry but your season isn’t going anywhere. Take the free 3rd rounder

your opinion.still not taking your really bad back up for the rest of the season.(makes no sense) his stats are horrible. we dont need another back up, back up, back up goalie.We have our own ligit back ups.

Then why would the Isles trade Mayfield. Another year on his contract at below market value.
