No . Way to much.
No. Rutherford won't be fleeced. Plus, Jiricec isn't ready to be a top 6 D and we need somebody who comes in right away and munches minutes.
Canucks first round picks are to be considered untradeable at this time. Their first pick will finish anywhere from 12-19 (Yes folks they are a wild card team at best this year. First wild card is the ceiling gets and gets you 19 with a loss in the first round. That's the latest they will pick). Minnesota is likely another 10 back minimum.
Yes that is the conversation. It's debatable that they are looking for help now AT ALL COSTS. It's clear this team has decided a move right now is not worth the few assets they have, and that they do need to get themselves back into the draft. So yes that is the real conversation at this point.
I believe they are still internally debating on a small sell off at the deadline. (Boeser/Lankinen)
this guy is not ready at all… thank god we didnt make any mistakes trading for him…. if we didnt fuckin sign Myers to that stupid deal starting with $3 Mill a year???? WE WOULDNT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS… RATHER SIGNED IAN COLE INSTEAD OF THIS USELESS GIRAFFE… He's a liability, I dont know why they want big use less D that keep taking stupid penalities…
Canucks are finally well managed .
They could have matched the offer BUT is it worth it No. Jiricek is a young prospect that will not help us now. We need an established Top 4.
HOLY OVERPAY!
Although I thought Branstromm has potential, why is he on ice during overtime. He conveniently gave away puck within seconds of getting on ice. Tocc should sit him and Hogie. Jiricek is no better than B-strom.
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th for someone who has played less games than Noah Juulsen this season. I think we need someone that can help us now.
Hi david quarrelling i love u
🐿
I think we are under estimating the defensive core we have…if teams think they can under bid our players or ask the whole barn, they can kick rocks. When we're in the playoffs and everyone healthy, we will have roster so deep that teams will be wishing they didn't have to face us. If they are able to maintain their play right now with Hronek, Miller and Demko out, we will have enough to make a deep run. BTW, anybody noticed how good the A looked on Boeser?
Please stop saying Willanders name in trades. No. Lol.
no need to match the player is useless and nothing they need or want
"If" that were the hypothetical price I'd still say no Jiricek isn't that good just average imo.
Thats a wild overpay
A right side of Hronek, Willander and Jiricek doesn't make sense long term. We need a LHD that can play the right side this year. That we can lock up long term. As far as our draft capital, we need to start developing some skilled centers, because Miller isn't getting any younger.
If you want a hat that is FIRE 🔥, go get yourself a Melin hat. Thank me later when you start getting compliments.
As a Wild fan looking to see what other fan bases and knowledgable commenters thought about the trade, this was great content.
Definitely a gamble by the Wild that they will be getting out of the 1st round this year and that they can improve his skating.
I would definitely give up that much…for a Moritz Seider
Keep Willander at all costs though
What a steal for the Wild
Canucks need Ryan Lindgren or Marcus Petersson I think Rasmus Andersson is to expensive to deal
I want Rasmus Anderson he’s a righty makes around 4 mill. Hogs and maybe a first would do it I think. Calgary needs to tank unless they want to be mediocre like the Canucks during the past prime Sedins era.
Hell naw, way too expensive…
