It's part of TL and Jr's plan... Lose so much that Edler will waive his stupid ass ntc, have a fire sale at the deadline, and grab the 1st overall pick.

One can dream, but with the canucks luck we could trade for the worst teams 1st pick and end up with the 3rd overall.

Canucks are 21/30 right now. If the draft started today then they'd be drafting in the 10th spot.
Best case scenario is that more injuries occur and the season falls apart for the Canucks, forcing a full re-build. Linden and Benning are trying to re-build all while trying to be a bubble playoff team so Aquilini can line his pockets with revenue from first round playoff games.
The team needs another top 10 pick (hopefully used on a defenceman), and then trade a few players at the deadline and land either high first round or low-mid second round picks. Only veterans that should be staying with the team are the Sedins and Burrows.

Sadly, the Sedins and Burrows are the type of player that will get the Canucks the best return.

Need to see what the trade market is like by deadline to see.
There were some good and shitty deals last season.
So basically one of or both the Sedins have to get injured long-term for any hopes of a top 5 pick...that's realistic, I can see one or both suffering injuries at this rate with the heavy deployment. They're averaging close to 20 minutes playing all kinds of roles
I used to think Hammer would be worth at least a 1st rounder but Christ, now I think they'd be lucky if they can get a 3rd out of him at the deadline.
Edler isn't even worth a bag of pucks at this rate.

its crazy to think our Team Canada defensemen Hamhuis would only fetch a 3rd round pick..fuck Juice got us a second rounder and dorsett when we got him was worth a third let that sink in people...Hamhuis went from being worth a first to god knows how much now!
Hammer's game has been on the decline. I noticed it last year.
Ducks way over paid for Bieska.
No one in the league can/will put a package together for the twins. Let's be realistic.
No one has the cap space to take both of them except for teams with lots of cap space and they have lots of cap space because they barely make cap minimum.
Biggest issue with the Nucks is that they have been riding the same guys for the last 7-8 years and a lot of picks/prospects were traded away, wasted, or let walk away because the management didn't have the fore sight to fit them in on the team.
Twins are 35.
Kids are 19-20.
Where are all the 25-30 year olds that we should have developed?
Now we are stuck trading away picks and youth to try to find proven NHLers to fill those spots or play the kids but WD chooses option C which is ride the twins till they break down and bench McCann while riding BoHo.

Don't want to end up a Edmonton situation where there aren't proper veterans in place to show the kids how it is done. Once Ryan Smyth retired, Edmonton lost all its leadership.
Teams still get desperate and are willing to pay for a d-man, even if they are having a down season. Look at Sekera, I believe LA gave up a prospect and 1st rounder(?) to Carolina for him. If we could get a prospect and 2nd rounder for Hammer I would be fine with that. Hell, just a strong prospect would be good in my books. Edler, that is going to be a tougher sell, but I think it could be done. But the way GMJB handles things, I don't have all my faith in the process yet.

Edmonton has more problems than just lack of leadership.
They need top 2 D men. Nurse will become one in a few years.
If they take Chychrun, that will give them the D guys they need once they develop them. But by then, a few of the former #1 picks are going to be gone.
Hall, Eberle, RNH, McRib, yakopov, etc....
But if they follow Chicago and LA's build, it may work.
Imagine McRib and Hall. Nurse and Chychrun as their core.
It would be like Towes and Kane. Seabrook and Keith.

Elder and linden are best buddies, he's not going anywhere. Elder just had a kid and is building a house, him and TL are literally like best friends having each other over for dinner all the time etc. this from people who work on a daily basis with TL
Relationships getting in da way of our hockey teams development
TL also hangs his hat on moving Kassian like its a fucking gold medal

fuck Linden and fuck edler they can both go IMO! knowing edler is the problem on the back end TL friendship has to get in the way of buisness! I mean come on hockey aside this is a buisness and if moving edler for pieces is the right thing to do then Aquaman needs to step in because ultimately its his team and his money!
Some of these guys still think of Edler as being a project and that he could still become that Norris Trophy D man they thought he could be back in 2011.
That being said, if we did trade him for a bag of pucks, who would we promote to play that #1/2 spot with Tanev?
Hutton is still a rookie. Maybe in a few years he will be ready.
Sbisa and Bartkowski?
Looks like Biega is getting a chance to play top pair minutes so maybe there is hope.

P.Kane continues his point streak, that's 21 straight games now... He has been excellent since he has been in the NHL but he is on another level right now.
