Wow, you found one example. And maybe he was right. Perhaps you can show when the Rangers did.

I didn't notice it was your post when I responded. Don't both with a reply. I won't be answering. You are such a dick.

It's funny that one trade of a guy who wanted out in Vancouver is a rebuild, after a bunch of rentals, extensions of vets, trades for vets. But Calgary moving out 6 vets including vets with term, is not. Because one team said it (after renting it) but the other didn't.

Can’t say I hate the Canucks to begin with, but like the majority said, I think they hit this trade out the park. The guy was pretty much wanting out to play with his brothers so it was public, and they still got that haul. Buium and a first would’ve been good but to get that much more was a home run. Minny still doesn’t feel like it’s there to be a legit contender to me. I can’t explain it. In this case with Hughes eventually leaving it seems silly the first wasn’t conditional on a resign.

It's a great trade for Vancouver. I think it did move Minnie up into contender status though. They have a superstar forward in Kaprizov, and now a superstar defenceman in Quinn. And they have a lot of other great pieces. They may not be done making moves yet.

For some reason the NHL removed the ability for pick conditions to be based on a player re-signing. Maybe they should have tried to make it conditional on a certain level of playoff success?

I was thinking the Wild could be a suitor for Kadri considering they lost a top 6 center in Rossi

I think this pushes Minnesota into serious contention. Two legitimate top of their position players, excellent goaltending, and a very strong supporting cast.

They are missing the prototypical 1C. It will be interesting to see if they can buck the trend and win without.

Do they have the assets?

Is there a scenario where the Flames end up with a ‘27 from Dallas and Minnesota? Would folks be happy with that? Pushes things out pretty far. I’d bet the Flames would want at least one more first in ‘26.

Jiricek, Yurov are their best chips potentially to move.

People mention Dallas but I struggle to see what trade chips they have after spending so much on Rantanen, Granlund/Ceci last season

The emergence of Yurov (he’s been playing on the top line) is what made moving Rossi manageable. I don’t see them trading him, especially not for a player with a much higher cap hit.

They did well in this trade, but the collapse from a division leading season to now in about 18 months is unbelievable.
I know we had our own collapse post JG & MT; but for the Canucks it was entirely preventable and caused internally.

Will be interesting to compare the next couple years here for the Canucks vs the couple years after the Tkachuk trade for the Flames.

They traded Hughes for Huberdeau? I wish the Flames made the type of trade the Canucks just did.

Standings are very tight, seems like extra 3 point games that result in a tighter standings than ever. Bottom teams aren't that bad, Canucks just made a huge move to go all in on getting the top pick and got a great return for Hughes.

Flames turn, they need to step up very soon IMO

Does Yurov or Kadri give them a better chance to win the cup in the next 2-3 years? Wild are all in now and still trailing both Dallas and Colorado by a significant margin in the standings and in talent

Bourque and ‘27 first for Andersson?

Otherwise I’m not sure what they gave. Maybe Conroy’s waiting to see if the market will offer more.

Wild could definitely use a Kadri as 2C now, but they don't have a lot of super interesting pieces left. No 1st or 2nd in 26, no 2nd in 27. Stramel's development has been kind of meh. Ritchie, Heidt and Hallqvisth are secondary pieces. So Yurov, Jiricek ... not a whole lot left.

I'd want another piece in there for sure. Bourque might be buried there, but you have to wonder what his upside is. The 1st will probably be very, very late.

Bourque is almost 24 and hasn’t shown much at all and I don’t see him fitting in this lineup at all. I am sure some team will step up for Andersson hopefully with a 26 1st and a younger piece than Bourque

Canucks started their rebuild after us, and will finish it before us.

No naval gazing there. They accepted reality and set about changing it.

I meant it more as their 26 year old star indicated they wouldn't re-sign.

Flames went one direction with that deal to try to keep their window open and we saw how it played out.

Canucks went the other direction and are using it to signal the start of a rebuild.

Many fans use the Tkachuk deal as what should have been the start of the Flames rebuild with a futures heavy deal. The Canucks just did that so it will be interesting to see how things play out.

Either way I also feel like the Canucks were a lot more proactive in the scenario than the Flames have ever been with stuff like this.

[GioforPM]

I think most teams that want/need Kadri (or Andersson) are going to be a bit light on picks and prospects. So Conroy just needs to do the best he can.
