The SHOCKING Truth revealed Behind the Canucks Deadline... - This is INSANE

The shocking truth on the Vancouver Canucks trade deadline is revealed as we got major reports revealing on what the Canucks were offered for Brock Besser and a report surfacing that the Vancouver Canucks almost acquired a young center but did not want to give up the assets to get them. We're going to break all this down and more in this episode so you're not going to want to miss it, but let's just hop straight into this today. Now listen, if you've seen the video yesterday, I did break down Patrick Alvin's comments, but we do see him saying, if I told you what I was offered for Brock Besser, I think I would have to run out of here because you would not believe me. Now everyone who's seen the media availability or seen the video yesterday has seen this quote, but we did get a quote from Brock Besser himself talking on the situation as well. Besser told me and this is a quote from Twitter that he didn't read Alvin's comments about the trade market form and hasn't really processed all of it re-emphasized how loyal he has been to the Canucks over the years and was more focused being better in tonight's game this was yesterday when they played Minnesota he's expected to speak to Alvin about it in the days ahead and he's trying not to read into it too much still open to an extension now the biggest thing is we know a lot of fans wanted Brock Besser not to be moved on but either extended or traded so they don't have the chance and the possibility to lose him for nothing once free agency hits. Looking at this we do see reports coming from Brandon Baxter saying per Friedman the Canucks asked for Besser was a first round pick and they didn't get it so they kept him. This was a little shocking to me that the Vancouver Canucks could not land a first round pick for a player that scored 40 goals just last season he's on pace to score roughly around 30 goals once again while losing his line mate JT Miller having a bit of a down year and he also was injured for a bit of the season listen Brock Besser on a one-year deal should at least at the very least get you a first round pick but it seems like Patrick Alvin was not offered exactly what this team wanted and listen I want to keep Brock Besser I think keeping Brock especially if he gets an extension is what the Canucks need to do but if the Canucks were not getting the assets you take the chance in my opinion hopefully Brock resigns with this team and if not then you're kind of screwed once you get to free agency but it continues on where we did see Patrick Alvin yesterday say that's a part of the business and the risk you have to take to be in it obviously this gives us a couple more months to continue to talk and see if we can find a fit that works for both of us now this is talking on the Brock Besser extension once again the Vancouver Canucks have Brock Besser for one more year this postseason pretty much at 6.6 million dollars the final year of his contract and the biggest thing is and everyone already knows this but he is a UFA and it seems like the contract talks are very back and forth but nothing is close or imminent on the extension we've seen reports coming out that the Brock camp wants a eight-year deal or seven-year deal at the lowest we've seen reports of the Vancouver Canucks offered him a five-year deal i don't think it comes down to the money side or the AAV but i think it has the term the term is what Brock and his camp want him to sign someone that has been a little injured throughout his career and listen this is not a Brock Besser video but someone that has been a tiny bit injured throughout his for 40 goals for someone that has been clutch in the playoffs yes he is going to want a long-term deal and he's not going to want to just not take a long-term deal for the sake of the Canucks even though he has pretty much said how loyal he's been but he's focusing and open to an extension but what's your guys thoughts on just the Brock Besser just kind of talks where we've seen him talk about how Patrick Alvin said they're still going to work on an extension they didn't see the offer they wanted what's your thoughts on this but let's hop straight into the second topic where we did see the biggest reason i felt we didn't do any moves here today was there was not a whole lot of market return on our players unfortunately now looking at some of the players as i said Pius Suter was a piece that's a UFA Derek Forbert a UFA both of these guys were kept by the canucks we've seen also reports coming out that Derek Forbert was someone the canucks were looking to extend but this is not even the craziest report we've got today Where we did see from Canucks Army, and I'll link this down below the Providence story about that, Carolina, as sources said, has been trying to move Kkonen for some time. Obviously, adding a center like Logan Sankovin makes Kkonen even more tradable. We know he was offered to the Canucks before and during the JT Miller thing. He was involved in this offer as a first-round pick. The hang-up, as it would seem, may come down to a prospect. Carolina was after one of Vancouver's even though the Canucks have a mountain of their own and however it was it seems like the Canucks did not want to part with them now this could be a bunch of different prospects if I'm a betting man I would bet on someone like Jonathan Lekkermäki that's currently in the lineup Tom Willner is another possibility or maybe someone even like Victor Mancini that we've seen make his home debut for the Canucks last night and listen I also want to touch on that Elias Pettersson had an incredible game versus the Minnesota Wild scoring a goal and looking like his former self maybe the media finally being off about the trademark and listen we are part of the blame of that as well but maybe PD getting back to himself is going to turn the second gear for this Canucks team especially once they get healthy but looking at this we do see that Kakinemi was potentially a Vancouver Canuck and Alvin did not want to meet the criteria to acquire him they did not want to move one of their prospects now going into Kakinemi listen he has been on a decline over the past two seasons getting a lot of bottom six minutes for the Carolina Hurricanes after being drafted third overall by the Montreal Canadiens but Kakinemi does have some potential a big body six foot three 203 he is a guy that could produce in the playoffs we soon put up eight points in 19 games with Montreal Canadiens when they made it to the Stanley Cup Finals seven points in 15 games with the Carolina Hurricanes while having a career high of 43 points that year 18 goals 25 assists that was in 22 23 Kakinemi does have potential to turn into something but with this contract i think Alvin wanted to kind of stay away from this and not risk it by giving up a top prospect for someone that hasn't showed their value yet Listen, if Kakinami turns around at 4.8 million that's an absolute steal especially if this guy can come in and be a second line center on this Vancouver Canucks team but that's a big if million for someone that's going to play in your bottom six might be hard to just kind of fit in this roster looking at the last five games and I kind of wanted to spin this back to Elias Pettersson listen Kakinami, listen if they miss them that's fine if they want to try to acquire him in the offseason if they want to take a chance on him I do think he will fit within the system maybe you fill him in as the third line center or the second line center move Heiman to the wing this offseason is going to be crazy for the Canucks but I do want to go and look at this team for a little bit going into the rest of the season as I said Elias Pettersson has came in and showed his former self last night in a three to one win versus the Minnesota Wild one hit two block shots and the biggest thing is that goal he's firing all cylinders moving his feet he wasn't the best on the faceoff percentage but overall Petey had a bounce back game and this is the team that wants to make it to the Stanley Cup playoffs and win a Stanley Cup am I going to say they're going to do it this year no but am I going to say they can't do it no I'm also not going to say that looking at this Canucks team they did jump straight into the second wildcard spot they're going to battle with the Calgary Flames and it seems like the St. Louis Blues for the rest of the season they have 62 games so they do have two games in hand to the St. Louis Blues but it's going to come down to a close race for the Calgary Flames once the Canucks get Hughes back get Demko back I could see them pushing their way maybe not fully into a playoff spot but they will keep a wild card spot i could see them battling the Minnesota Wild for the wild card spot on the first part too but what's your guys thoughts on this what's your thoughts on the Canucks and the possibility that listen Brock wants to return but they didn't get the offer they wanted what's your thoughts on Kocki Veikkous maybe joining the Canucks in the offseason listen i'm not linking them but from the reports we did see that there was a chance that Kocki Veikkous was going to join the Canucks but Alvin did not want to give up the prospect and listen if it's someone like Vlad or mackie willander i wouldn't either what are you guys thoughts on let's go down and leave a comment below while you're down there leave a like subscribe share this with your friends if you enjoyed this episode make sure to leave a like but i've been your host Mark Byndtake
