REBUILDING 2015-16 VANCOUVER CANUCKS



The 2015-16 Vancouver Cancuks were an aging team that need to rebuild desperately in hopes of becoming a contending once again in the future.
With that in mind, my objective with this rebuild is to rebuild the Vancouver Canucks and turn them back into a contender in the shortest amount of time.

Before the 2016 draft, a few trades are made:

Vancouver Canucks trade Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin to the Ottawa Senators for Mika Zibanejad, Ryan Dzingel, 1st round pick 2016, 1st round pick 2017.
The Ottawa Senators get the Sedin twins to play on a line with Mark Stone, which makes them an instant contender in the Eastern Conference,
On the flip side, the Vancouver Canucks get Mika Zibanajed, a very talented young center, Ryan Dzingel, and two first round picks.

Ryan Miller is traded to the Calgary Flames for 2nd round pick 2016, 3rd round pick 2016.
The Calgary Flames really needed a proven veteran goalie, a Ryan Miller is exactly that,
on the flip side of the trade, the Canucks get a 2nd and 3rd round pick in the 2016 draft.

At the 2016 draft, the Vancouver Canucks make two trades:

Vancouver Canucks trade pick 5 to the Buffalo Sabres for picks 8, 33, 69.
Then the Canucks trade picks 54, 56, 69 to the Philadelphia Flyers for picks 48, 3rd round pick 2017.

2016 Draft results:

8-(from BUF)-Mikhail Sergachev
33-(from BUF)-Alex DeBrincat
48-(from PHI)-Carter Hart
66-(from CGY)-Adam Fox

The Vancouver Canucks don't sign Loui Eriksson because the Sedin's aren't there anymore, which was a big reason why he signed with Vancouver in the first place..

The Vancouver have a dreadful 2016-17 season and finish with the 2nd worst worst record in the league;
however, they fall out of the lottery and end up with the 5th pick in the draft.

Before the 2017 draft, one major trade is made:

Vancouver Canucks trade Alex Edler, Sven Baertschi to the New Jersey Devils for the Jesper Bratt, rights to Patrick Maroon, 1st round pick 2018.
The Devils get a top 4 defenseman in Alex Edler and a top 6 forward in Sven Baertschi, while the Canucks get Jesper Bratt, a top 6 forward and a 1st round pick.
The Canucks also acquired the rights to Patrick Maroon, whom they will try to re-sign.

At the 2017 draft, the Vancouver Canucks trade up:

Vancouver trades picks 33, 55, 80, 2nd round pick 2018 to the St.Louis Blues for pick 20

2017 Draft results:

5-Elias Pettersson
20-(from STL) Robert Thomas
64-Michael DiPietro
95-Drake Batherson

Patrick Maroon is re-signed to a 2 yr deal worth 2.75 million.

Vancouver Canucks sign Evgenii Dadonov to a 3 yr deal worth 4.5 million per season

The Vancouver Canucks don't sign Thomas Vanek, Sam Gagner in Free Agency.

The 2017-18 Vancouver Canucks have a slightly better record but they still end up as the 6th worst team in the league.

At the 2018 draft, Vancouver Canucks make two trades:

Vancouver trades pick 17 to the Detroit Red Wings for picks 30, 34, 36.
Then the Canucks trade picks 34, 36 to the Toronto Maple Leafs for pick 29, 52

2018 Draft results:

6-Quinn Hughes
29-(from TOR)-Rasmus Sandin
30-(from DET)-Joe Veleno
52-(from DET)-Benoit Olivier Groulx

Vancouver Canucks sign Michael Grabner to a 3 yr deal worth 3 million per season

Vancouver Canucks don't sign Jay Beagle, Antoine Roussel, Michael Ferland in Free Agency because they don't fit in with the type of team the Canucks are trying to assemble.

With a core of talented young players, the Vancouver Canucks have a solid 2018-19 season but they still miss the playoffs;
the Canucks have the 12th pick in the draft.


Before the 2019 draft, one trade is made:

Vancouver Canucks trade Ben Hutton, Ryan Dzingel, Markus Granlund to the Detroit Red Wings for Tiro Hirose, Nick Jensen, 2nd round pick 2018.
This is a minor trade but an important one that improves the depth for the Canucks.

At the 2019 draft, the Vancouver Canucks trade picks 35, 42 to the Washington Capitals for pick 25

2019 Draft results:

12-Matthew Boldy
25-Connor McMichael

In Free Agency, the Vancouver Canucks sign Brandon Tanev, Valtteri Filppula

Vancouver Canucks don't sign Tyler Myers because he is not worth his contract

Before the 2019-20 season, Vancouver Canucks trade Jesper Bratt, 2nd round pick 2020 to the LA Kings for Tyler Toffoli.

By the 2019-20 season, the Vancouver Canucks have assembled a great young team that could be a playoff team.

Here is there lineup:

E.Dadonov-M.Zibanejad-B.Boeser
T.Pearson-E.Pettersson-T.Toffoli
A.DeBrincat-B.Horvat-R.Thomas
B.Tanev-V.Filppula-J.Virtanen

M.Sergachev-A.Fox
Q.Hughes-C.Tanev
N.Jensen-T.Stetcher

C.Hart
J.Markstrom

Prospects:

F: M.Boldy, J.Veleno, C.McMichael, D.Batherson, B.Olivier Groulx
D: R.Sandin
G: T.Demko, M.DiPietro

With this lineup, the Vancouver Canucks could be a legit contender for the Stanley cup for the next 3-5 years.

Fantasy Hockey Forwards to Trade For

Here is a list of Players who you should consider trading for in Fantasy Hockey. Tage Thompson Tage Thompson had very high expectations of him heading into this season but has been a massive disappointment to this point in the season with only 7 goals, 8 assists, 4 PPP, 60 SOG, and 99 FW. Thompson has been better after coming back from injury and you would think that he is going to eventually start putting points in bunches. Because of how bad Thompson's statline is this season. it would be a good idea to trade for him because you may not have to give up a lot in return.  Elias Lindholm Elias Lindholm is another player who has had a slow start to the season with only 7 goals, 10 assists, 3 PPP, 68 SOG, and 297 FW so far this season. Lindholm is definitely going to want to play better if he wants to increase his value for his next contract and also showcase himself for a trade at the deadline. If Lindholm gets dealt to a contending team, his fantasy value would drastically improve b

TIPS FOR DECIDING WHO TO KEEP FOR KEEPER/DYNASTY LEAGUES

Keeper fantasy leagues are a variation of traditional fantasy sports leagues where participants are allowed to keep a certain number of players from their previous season's roster onto their team for the upcoming season. The number of players that can be kept, as well as the specific rules regarding keeping players, vary from league to league and are typically determined by the league commissioner or by a set of agreed-upon rules among league members. In a keeper league, the kept players usually come with a cost, such as forfeiting a specific draft pick in the upcoming draft or having to pay a predetermined fee. This adds a strategic element to the game, as managers must decide which players to keep based on their performance, potential, and value relative to the cost of keeping them. Keeper leagues often provide a deeper level of engagement and strategy compared to standard fantasy leagues because managers need to consider long-term player development and roster management beyond

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

Here are some players you should pickup in Fantasy Hockey, sorted by position. Center Colton Sissons Colton Sissons is one of the best 4th line centers in the league, but in fantasy hockey, he could be even more valuable than he actually is in real life because of what he provides in the peripheral categories. So far this season Sissions has 5 goals, 1 PPP, 1 SHP, 12 PIM, 20 SOG, 89 FW, 15 hits, and 9 blocks. This is a terrific stat line and although you can't count on Sissons scoring a ton, he will fill out the FW, Hits, and blocks usually. Sissons is owned in 6% of fantasy leagues, snag him up while you can. Nick Bjugstad Nick Bjugstad is having an excellent year so far with the Arizona Coyotes, in fact he has played so well that he earned himself a promotion to play on the 2nd line along with Mattias Maccelli and Lawson Crouse. Bjugstad also gets time on Arizona's 2nd PP unit and 2nd PK unit. Bjugstad may not be a name who stands out to casuals, but his fantasy stat line is
