Lol you are the one who uses the hf scouts to back up your points about prospects . Hfboards is a toilet

That might just be the most insightful post I've ever seen you write .....

Reason for trading the #6 for Byfuglien IF we don't get a top 5 faller...

Sedin factor, if they are here why not work with em to keep this franchise big and talented like Ron Jeremy.

Byfuglien would score 30-40 goals with the Sedins and provide a better detterant from opposing players, at least much more so than our pesky Burrows!

Not to mention it allows Kassian and Jensen to develop further on the 2nd/3rd line RW.

This also allows Burrows and Hansen can be traded away.

At #6 TL/Gilman/Benning would likely pick Ritchie or Virtanen for the sole purpose of getting bigger and hope they can develop into power like forwards.

So with trading the #6 for the 6'5", 265 lbs, 29yr old Byfuglien we get an immediate impact on our top line with one of most intimidating powerforwards in the game after Lucic.

And we can probably trade Edler/Kesler for a top 12 first rounder + a prospect +.

I would have to source this, but Byfuglien has gone on record as saying he prefers to play his natural position on defense as opposed to being moved up to forward. He also said that he would do whatever he had to do for the good of the team and to help win games in a pinch, but he feels much more comfortable on the blueline.

Is it wise to make a relatively big splash in the trade pool when the asset you are trying to acquire will not be happy filling the need that he is being brought in to fill? Moreover, is it not a bigger risk when said player already has a history of attitude problems regarding physical fitness and a tendency towards off-season otiosity?

Say no to fugly.

We need to get younger in the future, not trade more of the future away.

The only draft picks figuring in Canuck trades this season should be the ones we acquire - excepting the possibility of trading up to a higher pick.

Ignore Skyo's trade ideas, Sage. They are the worst on the planet.

Ignore the troll royaldude, he's our interesting pet on CC.

Yeah he prefers defense but he sucks on defense, he's at his most effective at wing and his coaches realize that, it's another option to think about for our future GM anyways.

The main point for me is get a new big RW for the Sedins, maybe it's Kassian but I prefer him on the 2nd/3rd line for now...and so we can let Burrows go for a much needed roster shakeup.

[sagebrush]

The feasibility of 'letting Burrows go' depends upon the return.

How much do you think the Canucks will get in return for Burrows?

[ClamRussel]

Exactly. Plus Burrows' heart is here, much like Bieksa. The guy is a smart 2-way player and does the little things right. He had a rough year, he'll bounce back. His value here > than his trade value.

[SKYO]

I like Burrows but I think it's time for change, that and he eats up $4.5M per! *gasp*

Whoever loses that Habs or NYR semi-finals will undoubtedly look for help this offseason, Burrows can help them in their quest, he'll get a couple draft picks and a prospect in return at this point.

I think Burr would waive his NTC for the Habs easily, and NYRs AV imo would vouch for Burrows and AB would waive to go there as well.

I think he will waive his NTC only for the Habs. But who knows what the conditions of his NTC are. It might just be a list of 5 or so teams he will accept a trade to, or 5 or so that he will not accept a trade to.
