lol my bad for fuck sakes *edited
Just trying to fix this putrid defense, but it's proving to be a 100 year project in Canucks years.
Unless we can draft em but that take's 4 years for them to come around or we can try get in on the Hamonic, Trouba or maybe even Shattenkirk, but it's going to be some brash moves to get that done.
That or some dman like Shea Weber demands a trade here ha.

Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Would you trade McCann + Shinkaruk (sp?) + Edler for Weber? Does Nashville?SKYO wrote:lol my bad for fuck sakes *edited

Off season, not now in the middle of a playoff push, but if Nashville falters again...

Not now. Weber will be 31 in August, making that trade sets our future back a bit (McCann and Shinkaruk). By the time we are in a place to contend again Weber would be close to 34 and possibly showing decline.
Re: Trades and rumours (& fantasies) 2014-15-16
Also worth noting that Nashville probably wouldn't want to entertain a trade that sends their top-pairing, right-side stud defenseman in exchange for a left-sided guy who can't play the right side.Mëds wrote:If this was 2 years ago, then yes, in a heartbeat.vic wrote:Would you trade McCann + Shinkaruk (sp?) + Edler for Weber?

I would however send them Shinkaruk + Tanev + Hansen + 2nd for Weber.
Doubt it's close to enough though, but I wouldn't send them a pair of young prospects at this point.
Also trade Hamhuis and Vrbata and work out a deal with Hamhuis to re-sign here in again in the summer. Would leave us with a very good top-3.
But hey, there's NO way the Predators make that trade.
Re: Trades and rumours (& fantasies) 2014-15-16
What about taking a run at Jason Demers in Dallas? He's UFA at the end of the year, 27 years old, right-shooting.....
Sbisa + middling pick or something?
Assuming no Hamhuis trade, or that we can "Vermette" him.
Edler - Tanev
Hamhuis - Demers
Hutton - ______

Re: Trades and rumours (& fantasies) 2014-15-16
Yeah Shea Weber only gets dealt if he pulls a Chris Pronger and demands a trade, in other words ain't happening anytime soon.
-
Back to reality, all efforts should be made to look at dmen that could be dealt like Hamonic, Trouba and Shattenkirk, Shatter is the guy who I think we could reasonably make a trade for, even with Pietr injured, blues gotta deal him eventually as they got young guys who can replace him and his new contract (whatever it will be) will kick in after next season.
A 4 month long negotiation with a deal finalized last minute at draft.

Re: Trades and rumours (& fantasies) 2014-15-16
LOL Dallas doesn't want our garbage for their good defenseman. I'm sure they would rather have Demers for their playoff run and risk losing him, than to give him up for a grossly overpaid 7th defenseman and a middling pick.Mëds wrote:What about taking a run at Jason Demers in Dallas?

More chatter about the Canucks going after Stamkos. I think he'd rather go to TO than here, but if Aqua-man gives JB the green light to throw some money @ him, u never know. We won the Messier and Sundin sweepstakes, it may happen again. Personally, I rather go after East Van Milan, but an elite pure sniper would really give our team a boost and is something we haven't had here in years. I guess Nasi was our last. It makes sense for us to go after Stamkos though, the twins have 2 more years with us after this season, so might as well go for it.

Stamkos on a PP with the Sedins would see our first 60 goal scorer since Pavel.Todd Bersnoozi wrote:http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2016/02/canu ... n-stamkos/

I still don't want to commit that kind of coin to one player right now, especially one who becomes a 60 point guy when there is some distraction and the lack of a setup man.

Well let's be logical. Landing Stamkos, the year after we let a lot of kids play, two years into clearing out vets, would certainly signal that the transition mantra was serious stuff. We could also try to move out Burrows, Cracknell will be gone, Weber gone and with the cap increase we would have room for Lucic too. Adding both Stamkos and Lucic would certainly change the complexion of the team.
Too many centres? McCann can play in Utica for a year or two and as suggested he could become trade bait to help shore up the D.
But our D would be absolutely horrid and no money to rebuild it. Could it be time to trade Miller and use that cap to rebuild the D? What assets would we get back from trading Vrbata, Hamhuis, Burrows, Miller? Any D?
Dare to dream but ya, I'd love to land Stamkos, love to trade for Druin, be thrilled to add Lucic to that mix, for the right price. Hey if we land Stamkos we can afford to trade McCann for Druin. Ok, McCann plus. Go big I say! And if the team gets back to higher status re-sign the twins to one year cap friendly deals when the time is right. We are not going to draft Matthews so why not use FA to land a true number one centre that will only be 26. These opportunities are rare, if he hits the open market.
Do I have any inside scoop? No. Just that he has always loved Vancouver, enjoys playing here and one consideration for him is market. I still think Tampa gets a deal done but his agent is making it sound dire to pressure the Bolts.

I predict 1 year from today the Nucks land zero top UFA, keep Hamhuis, lose Vrbata for nothing and don't move Miller.

Agree that's the most likely scenario. Like a soap opera it will be easy to catch up and the storyline won't have changed.Reefer2 wrote:I predict 1 year from today the Nucks land zero top UFA, keep Hamhuis, lose Vrbata for nothing and don't move Miller.
Re: Trades and rumours (& fantasies) 2014-15-16
Landing Stamkos would be perfect in so many ways. They can afford to sign both Stamkos and Lucic, with all the cap space going out (they'd have to find a new home for Burrows)
The twins become the anchors of your #2 line immediately.
There's enough youth and ELCs to make it work until the twins retire or sign on home town discounts after their current contracts are up.
Concentrate on D in the draft.

Regarding you Stamkos dreamers you need Josh Brolins character from Inherent Vice to come alive and axe kick stomp your psychedelic Hippie minds straight and sober
