ParticipantThe chances of getting Michkov is a longshot if Tocchet has any input. High picks, Cootes, Malhotra should be off the table. Rossi plus your choice of Karlsson, Lekkerimäki?
Big gamble for an unproven prospect.

ParticipantI disagree respectfully Boone. I think if they traded for a guy like Larkin or or a vet like Hellybuck yeah then they would scream but if it is a young skilled player like Mich then they would be excited. He is a player of the future the type that you are hoping to draft this summer. He fits the bill of rebuild as where Larkin would be shortcuts.
You are looking at only the one half of a trade so of course it looks like a trade the fans would be bhind.
You are going to have to give up real assets for Michkov. Flyers need C help desperately but Petey is not going to Phily if he goes anywhere. So Rossi is the next best C on this team in a trade. No way that gets it done. So looking at the roster… yuk… its coming down to young players and draft picks already. They are going to want one of our 1st probably. Is Rossi and a 1st enough? Probably not unless it’s a top 10. So now comes an additional pick or worthy prospect.
Would fans be behind a trade like this if it involved losing a 1st and say Cootes with a roster player? The risk is Michkov doesnt gel with Manny either because of D deficiencies. We don’t know how Manny is going to handle this. He has 1/4 of a season under his coaching belt. There are already deployment questions involving young players.
But I do agree. If we were to acquire Michkov without giving up picks and prospects and only our trash, then fans would be happy. Of course Phily aint going for our trash players willing to waive and handing over a elite 20yo forward.
As you can see, I wasnt talking about the just the player coming our way. I would have simply stated I didnt think he was worth obtaining.
Canucks trade options are limited. As you say EP isn’t waiving to anywhere but his choice of teams. Teams like the LAK are not getting him without forcing it with a substantial offer. SJ now they are another story with many prosoects & picks. They are closer to contending unlike the oldest team in the NHL LAK.
Other vets are more likely to be moved for picks or prospects. DeBrusk preferably but he will only waive for a few teams most likely. DOC is almost surely a goner. Hronek unlikely til more D depth that is sorely needed. D is bad as it is & not a good idea to move him out just yet. Rossi I agree is most likely to be shopped.

ParticipantI think this management is afraid to make moves for players like that incase the fans and media scream “shortcuts!!”.

ParticipantI bet Tocchet would be very excited to acquire a Canuck

ParticipantMatvei Michkov has requested a trade, he’s had enough of Rick Tocchet. Even though he’s Russian I’d take a flyer on him.
The Canucks have several players they could offer up, let then take a pick of Boeser, DeBrusk, #40, Rossi, heck even one of the few bright spots in Lekkerimaki
Yup, they should pretty well be listening on everyone. They seem to be sitting on the fence as far as moves go.

I’m sure RT wouldn’t mind Petey joining the team after that trade…lololol.
