30 YO mark stone is worth 5+ 1st rd picks?

Lekkerimakki and a first should be considered untouchable for Vancouver. Theodore is great but that would be draining the last of our prospect depth

A 1st and Raty are to dump Palmieri

They should be since you guys are win now mode

No one has ever traded an A prospect to dump a contract , let alone an A prospect + a 1st

Raty is hardly an B prospect let alone A

?

Why are you blowing up Vegas? They are an extremely solid team. They had terrible injury luck last year. If they deal with normal injuries, they are for a sure a playoff team and a competitor at that.

That trade would be a disaster for Ottawa

His 40 pts in 41 games in liiga (.98 PPG) is the 7th best draft + 1 liiga season ever. Slightly worse than Aho (1 PPG) and better than Lundell (.96) and Granlund(.92)

He’s definitely an A prospect.

Developing a prospect pool is also important.

Vegas is going to miss the playoffs again this year, all i see is and old stale core, it's time to rebuild

Not to mention I LIKE THEM

These trades are either wild underestimations or crazy overestimations of the value of players who would never and could never be traded.

Holy **** is Mark Stone literally Mcdavid?

Before the Miller signing I was adamant the Canucks should not be trading away any 1st or 2nd round picks or good prospects. After management choose to (in my opinion) prematurely push the team into a win now mode with the Miller signing I think they are left with little choice but to spend some of (or all of) that capital if they want to be cup contenders. I get that developing a prospect pool is also important but that's usually done before a team reaches contender status so the cupboards are stocked in advance, Vancouver has once again tried to take a shortcut and shortcuts rarely work out.

Theodore is a fantastic player that would be a massive upgrade to Vancouver's back end, with that said the price is high for a team with few assets to spend. If I am Vancouver I would definitely want to see what else is out there and what their acquisition costs would be, but this trade looks like more than fair value (possibly even a steal for Vancouver since they are dumping Dickenson as well) for a player of Theodore caliber and contract. There's no question Vancouver needs to add on the backend if they want to compete for more than a playoff spot.

I would rather just be aggressive for Severson or Weegar in UFA and keep our remaining assets because if he bust out in a few years, we will have ZERO prospects to show for

Good chance Weegar doesn’t make it to FA, and if he does he’s likely 7+ per year, Vancouver has cap issues, I think it’s a no brainer to accept this trade if available. Dickinson alone would cost at least a 2nd to move.

I was getting super interested in acquring Pietrangelo, until I saw Batherson's name as part as the return. Batherson and his BARGAIN contract is a no go

And when you have to add THREE (3) first round picks on top of Batherson, it makes it absolutely DREADFUL

Pietrangelo is turning 33 in January and has 5 years left

Because they won't make the playoffs again with this core
