Canucks pass easily. Their asking price for Demko was a 1st, blue chip prospect, and Raty level prospect. Not a 3C, 3rd pair RHD, and an overpaid backup level goalie

Canucks pass.Demko is Our goalie of the future,hes not going anywhere.IMHO.

IF we are not taking Fantilli, I would do it but I think we take Fantilli so we do not accept

removed the canucks trade - was just trying to think of a place to send Boqvist and Roslovic lmao

I thought I saw somewhere that Pat Verbeek was thinking about taking Michkov at second overall. If that’s true, why not move back to third?

You did see that and it wasn’t the Verbeek was thinking it. It was someone’s thought that he could be a guy who takes him in the top 5

So yes you saw that but no it wasn’t from Verbeek

Makes sense. Fantilli could step in immediately, and that’s valuable.

That's the thing, we don't need him to. We have the ability (and likely will) send whoever we draft to the AHL next season, and make sure they develop properly.

There are rumors going around that the front office isn't set on Fantilli over Carlsson, but no one close to the matter has said boo about Mitchkov, that rumor is from a guy who called up 32 thoughts.

The trade talk is all smoke. Stand pat and take your guy, simple as that.

I hear you for sure. I'm just afraid of Jarmo getting cute and taking Smith at 3 if Fantilli doesn't fall lmao. This is my way to cope.

Also, if it looked like this, we'd be moving 2 players we can afford to/need to move anyway so all we're really parting with is the 2nd rounder to guarantee Fantilli.

Right on.

I agree. I would definitely accept this. I just don't think it's happening. Smith or Carlsson, the Jackets are getting an elite playmaker that plays center. Thats a win.

The wildcard in all this is Michkov. I would love him too, but only if Jarmo swung some kind of crazy deal for a 1C.

They are not even meeting with Michkov...any talks about him going to CBJ are officially all dead instead of mostly dead
