Do you really want Dvorak?
I don't think Dallas will be in on Schenn, never know at deadline time.
If you are only trading Garland for a third I think every team will be in on that. Really bad return for Vancouver.
Edmonton probably just keeps JP over Pearson, at least then they have the ability to walk at seasons end.
You are not getting Newhook in a Horvat trade from Colorado.

Boeser is the kind of player we are trying to get rid of. We don't need more of that style of player.

Part of the reason the Canucks want to move Boeser is to clear cap space. Trading him for an overpaid 3rd liner isn’t a great move

The Garland trade is awful. Yes he’s struggled this year, but he’s also shown to be a very productive 5v5 player before this season and has a more than reasonable cap hit. He’s someone the Canucks should keep, not sell for scraps

Lots of rumours MTL is interested in him

We need Defence.you have traded 3 top 9 players and have not improved the D.we dont need any more forwards.IMHO.

Regional to Vancouver. In MTL we hear the truth of MTL... We are selling players, not buying players

He’s playing 3rd / 4th line mins for $4.9m, I think you are massively overrating him. He seems like a bad locker room guy as well, I get the feeling he’s not well liked

It’s like you are part of the inner circle with the GM, would recommend you don’t speak in absolutes and not use words like ‘we’, there is no ‘we’ unless you have some influence on the GM.

ACGM isn’t the place if you can’t handle getting crap for your trades.

No problem with the crap, it was a joke, I find it amusing that people speak like they are part of the decision process. At the end of the day, non of us really know but some defend their positions like they have influence, which they don’t.

I don't get why VAN fans want Dvorak. I don't get why MTL fans don't want to trade Dvorak for Boeser. Someone explain.

Too much for horvat.


Bruins have no room or need for garland.

You can do better than that for Garland.

Boston only has 33k in cap space so they could not do it anyway.

We're rumoured to be connected to everything, Boeser doesn't fit this team or it's timeline whatsoever

Boeser is only 25, having someone who is a bit older than Suzuki and Dach isn't a bad thing. Perhaps he doesn't fit the team as you said but that's a different issue.

That avs trade makes 0 sense

Canucks need a 3C who is good at face offs and can play PK, Dvorak, although not perfect checks some boxes. Dvorak would also better allow VAN to trade Horvat, he’s not as good but they don’t have enough centres if they trade him. Plus it’s $2m savings on the cap

In Montreal we don't have to be in anyone's inner circle to know. We have the traditional English media through Bell & Sportsnet, we have the traditional French media through RDS and TVA. We have podcasts from dozens of very well connected insiders stemming from former players like Chris Nilan to reporters traveling with the team like Arpon Basu to scouts and personalities. If there was anything to this rumour it would have been mentioned somewhere by somebody in one of these streams. But if course it wasn't which is why I keep saying there is nothing there.

The other thing is that the Habs already have 4 overpaid middle 6 wingers on multi-year deals:

Gallagher 6.5
Anderson 5.5
Hoffman 4.5
Armia 3.4

Don't mistake me, Boeser is an upgrade on all of these guys, but we Both cannot afford to take him on and have no spot for him unless we trade one of these guys in another deal or Vancouver takes one of them back.

If you really want the Habs to take on Boeser, you have to take back Gallagher, Hoffman, or Armia. We would still pay you for Boeser in that case.

Like Gallagher and a 2024 top 10 protected 1st for Boeser. That way you get a 1st for him, but you take bad cap back. But I'm 100% sure no one wants Gallagher or Armia's contracts and that's why we don't want or need Boeser. It's just logic.

Don't see the Stars trading away a 2nd Round Pick for a guy like Schenn who's role the Stars already have filled on their roster with Jani Hakanpaa.

Then don't post Mr Hankeys. This reeks

Fantastic contribution to the thread, 🙏

Sure, insert any team for Schenn, I randomly picked Dallas

Is buying out OEL really the right move?

IF the Avs could afford to re-sign Horvat then maybe. They can't realistically so that's shat all over. Burroughs for a 7th I have no issue with.
