If I am Montreal I would do that in a heartbeat. I don't think Edmonton would, they would rather see him go to Europe for a year. I don't think Holland is in any rush to trade him.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 19 minutes ago, Commandant said: 7 x 7 That seems steep to me but he will likely get it from someone. He is an excellent puck mover, just not sold on his defensive game, has had some back issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be much more comfortable with 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 14 hours ago, PMAC said: What about dealing Hudon and a 2nd or 3rd Edmonton for Puljujärvi ? I wouldn't do this. Yakupov had a better rookie season and better offensive numbers overall during his career with the Oilers and was dealt for a 3rd and an ECHLer. I wouldn't give more than that for him. IMO, Puljujarvi never hits his ceiling. He's a middle six guy at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meller93 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 If Aho doesn’t work out we should pursue Nikita Gusev. Vegas apparently having cap troubles so may look for a trade. This guy could be a sneaky good pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 $8Mx2? That sounds pretty high, considering he has yet to play in the NHL. He's great in the KHL but how well would that translate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habber31 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) He wants double that apparently. I know nothing about him, except that he was a force in the KHL. I'm sure it will translate to the nhl Edited July 2, 2019 by Habber31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 If KHL were exactly the same as NHL, someone would have already snapped him up at $8M. But there have been many players who didn’t adjust well ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I think that's no problem. I've never seen him play, though, so it's a scouting decision. We have the cap space and and it looks like he could help our scoring. As for Hutton, the Canucks fans think that Benn is a big upgrade from Hutton ...

I like Hutton but wouldn’t expect too much. Could be a nice #5 dman, has some wheels and offensive tools. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t end up as a patchwork piece to cover the Krakatoa-sized hole at LD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that Hutton has four years of NHL experience and we don’t even know whether Leskinen can play in the league, I’d have to say it’s likely. And pace Canucks fans, I’m not so sure Benn is a big upgrade on Hutton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
