Horvat will cost a ton. Canucks fans are wanting a 1st, Morrow, and Jarvis… while it may not cost that much… it’s going to cost a ton for whoever acquires Horvat.

But it's an investment that will be here for a few years, versus a Patrick Kane-type arrangement which will also cost a ton, and it's a one-shot deal.

I have no problem giving up something as long as the ROI is over the course of 3-5 years and not a short term hopeful fix.

I don’t necessarily think it’s a short time fix, it’s a chance you take to win the cup and then you retool in the offseason. The NHL draft is a crapshoot so trading away a few picks isn’t that big of a deal, especially when the picks are going to be late. And while Drury is a good asset, he’s one you move if you have a chance to win the cup and in reality, the Canes have an identical prospect to Drury in Jamieson Rees, who is performing quite well this year.

The year the Canes won the cup, they went out and acquired Recchi and Weight for bottom of the roster type players (i.e. Stepan), prospects (i.e. Drury), and draft picks.

When you are as close as the Canes are, you can’t rob Peter to pay Paul, you have to get into the rental business like Colorado did last year.

Under no circumstances should the Canes be looking to move Jarvis, Morrow, or Nikishin right now. We have enough picks and B rated prospects to acquire some rentals to help us get the cup without gutting part of the team or trading away some future blue chippers.

I get what you're saying and while our end goals are obviously the same, we have differing philosophies as to how to get there.

Another thing to note is that I believe the Canes are the only team that could fit both Kane and Toews on their roster while staying under the cap (as long as Chicago retains 50% on both).

The rumored asking price for Toews is a second which we could easily do and then you give up a first, Drury, and Stepan (for cap purposes) for Kane.

The question is which one would we do?

kane and toews 

or

Bo

I’d prefer Kane and Toews because I think we are a 2C and a 1RW away from being the overwhelming favorite for the cup.

Jarvis is in a sophomore slump and it could do him some good to spend time on the 4th line where he’ll get easier matchups. And don’t get me started on Stastny being our 2C.

I’d like to see:

Svechnikov - Aho - Necas

Teravainen - Toews - Kane

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Jarvis

Extra’s - Stastny and Kase

The other trade I’d like to see is for a 3rd pairing LHD. Coghlan was better yesterday but I don’t trust him to play meaningful minutes if someone were to get hurt for an extended period of time.

In that case, you'd have to offer up KK as well. He's getting paid way too much money as a 4C. That matching offer stunt to get him out of Canada may have looked okay last year, but it looks like a waste of money this year unless he somehow starts tearing it up in the 2nd half of the season.

I don’t think he’s going anywhere, he’s starting to play better and I’d actually like to see him get some 2C chances but right now he’s better suited as our 4C. I think he’s our eventual replacement for Staal. And I don’t know what team would be interested in a KK for another 7 years other than us.

I hate to bring my game into this convo, but it was too funny for me not to share. I offered up Turbo to St.Louis just to see how close I can get to getting OReilly. Not only was Turbo good enough, but it was so good that they also gave me a 2nd round pick in 2024 lollll. I try to balance realism while working with the programming of the game, but that was too good for me to pass up and also, there have been wilder trades in the NHL that never happens in the game as well.

According to reports, the Blues want a first and a top prospect for O’Reilly.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
