What they really need to do right now is trade Franson for a Top 6 LHS dee.

If the Leaves were offered a bonafide LHS Top 5-6 LHS dee in a deal for Franson they'd likely be all over that.
DJ Dave apparently got fired by the Canucks recently, sooooo cue the trade for Franson - who is also is a DJ!!

ok new target, Cody Ceci.

#5 D | 6'3", 209 lbs. | Ottawa
Birth Date: December 21, 1993 (20 years old)
Place of Birth: Ottawa, Ont.
Shoots: R
Assets: Has great size for the National Hockey League game (6-3, 207 pounds), plus plenty of high-end offensive ability. Can quarterback the power play and owns a great point shot.

Flaws: Needs to learn how to better utilize his size, which should enhance his overall defensive game in spades. That is also required to cement a role as a shutdown defender.

Career Potential: Talented offensive defenseman with good upside.


07/05/2014

Ceci showed tremendous promise at points during the 2013-14 in Ottawa and should be a fixture on the Sens' blueline for years to come. We expect him to take a huge leap forward and register 35 points this upcoming campaign.

Ceci continues to impress Sens' coaches | 12/30/2013 7:34 AM

Impact

Not only has the rookie rearguard provided some offense from the blueline, he has also been a very steady player when the other team has the puck. Most impressive has been Ceci's ability to rush with the puck. "You keep waiting for him [Ceci] to fall off and fall off, but he hasn't to this point," said Ottawa coach Paul MacLean. "He's been a very good player for us, and a steady player for us, and part of the reason we're having the success we're having now is because of that steadiness on our back end. And we're getting better at getting out of our zone, and getting better at not turning over as many pucks, and Cody is part of that." If you are in a deep keeper pool it might be time to grab Ceci before it is too late.

12/29/2013

He registered two assists and was plus three in Ottawa's 4-3 win over Boston Saturday night. For his efforts, Ceci was the game's third star. Ceci is also getting some time on the Sens' power play. Given that he has three points in his last three games and that he has put up excellent offensive numbers in both the OHL and the AHL, Ceci seems like the perfect sleeper pick up to us.
Seems he was playing some top 4 minutes with Phillips late last season.

What can the Canucks offer? One of: Hansen/Tanev/Markstrom/1st/2nd.
Could make it a rare three way deal.

Where did you read that? Just based on stats he hasn't been that good.


44.4% with LA in 18 games - small sample.


And then...
Vey is listed a right wing, but he has been playing at the center position this season. As such, face-offs were an area of concern.

“He’s improving on face-offs—that’s an area where, if you’re a go-to, number one center, when you can win those draws, that’s only going to play to your advantage,” Morris [Monarchs head coach] stressed.
Which is why imo coach Willie really want Horvat to be that go-to faceoff guy, whose sound defensively, so he can be that 'crucial' 3rd line pivot.

Vey sounds and is proving to be a great creative, scoring player though, just as Pearson described him.
“He’s doing everything,” added Pearson. “He’s so defensively sound, and he’s such a threat in the offensive zone. He’s not really a shooter, per se, but he can always shoot the puck, and he loves to pass. He makes everybody come to him, [opening things] up for other people. He can see that so well, and then, make a pass.”

“He just uses his smarts. He goes to the open ice, he makes real smart plays, and knows where to get the puck—he knows how to get the puck in a certain spot. He’s a great player.”

Anyways I've come to accept we should see what we have in:

Hamhuis Bieksa
Edler Tanev
Sbisa Weber
Stanton

I think Weber could be that darkhorse good QB dman.

Canucks will be picking in Jeremy Roys wheelhouse 8 to 16 in the 2015 draft. The kid is our best chance at getting a good young QB at the point

Keep smoking the sweetgrass, SKYO. Ottawa is pretty damn high on Ceci, and with him being a hometown kid there's good PR to be mined if he's a half-way successful pro. It would take a fair bit more than what you propose to lift him out of Ottawa at this point. Think Horvat/Shink/Gaunce+. Better luck drafting the next QB.

Well it seems like the Senators need a more solid defense and could really use a top 4 dman as they have a lot of young dmen and an aging and/or injury prone Methot/Phillips.

Tanev is a young but experienced dman who is a solid two-way top 4 D, they already have Karlsson as their uber QB.
Plus in the East they could use more sandpaper so we could tack on Hansen and make this is a bigger trade.

As good as Tanev could be, I don't think Murray & Co. would see him as an upgrade to their top 4 of Karlsson, Phillips, Methot and Cowen/Weiercoch - either in terms of age, ability or durability. We might, but they likely won't. Another PP QB to learn under Karlsson and man the 2nd unit is something they would want to hold on to, even if Tanev has shown some development in that area.

As for sandpaper, Ottawa doesn't lack for cruiser-weights up front in Greening, Neal and even Condra. Hansen would just offer more of the same with perhaps more speed.

If they need anything, it's more firepower depth at wing and centre that's cheap on the wallet. After Ryan, Turris and Michalek, it gets pretty dry in the offensive category with Zibanejad and MacArthur yet to prove that they can carry the secondary scoring load consistently enough to get the team into the playoffs and Legwand more suited to a 3rd line C role. Benning doesn't have many folks outside of Bonino (who he needs more right now than a player like Ceci), Vrbata (who he just signed) or Burrows (who is pricey and yet to prove he can score without the twins) - and even then, have they given anybody (let alone Murray) any reason to believe they would be that much of an upgrade?

Realistically-speaking, if you want to get Murray & Co. thinking about dealing Ceci, you'll have to look at high prospects and picks - Horvat/Shinkaruk/Jensen/Gaunce/Corrado and a 1st rounder to do it. That's a stiff price, and I just don't see it happening unless Benning & Co. think they need Ceci more than they need those assets.

Or we land a playoff spot, then I'd try to draft a solid dman in that latter part of the draft (yeah yeah BPA, but I say we still go after a dman!)
Jeremy Roy as you said or

Zack Werenski
Scouting Report: Zack would be considered a versatile defensmen. He can be used in every situation and he excels in every aspect of the game. He has great puck skills which allows him to move the puck very efficiently in all three zones of the ice. He also has the ability to beat forecheckers with one-on-one moves. Zack also has a very hard and accurate shot from the point. (2013 OHL Priority Selection Preview and Media Guide)

Took the team 2 years to get a right shot QB finally (STECHER) and Willie might opt to put in his old fella from texas instead. :lol: :cry:
