gradin123 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 If Hodgson did want a trade(and it's pretty obvious he did), how do you know he would actually work his ass off for our team if we didn't give him what he wanted, when he wanted it? (the trade to Buffalo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat13 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That's okay. They'll play better in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

js604 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Even if we miraculously survive this series, how the eff are we supposed to deal with the likes of Chicago and Detroit? This playoff series is done and over. Time to cut our losses, make sure no one is injured anymore, and rebuild. Statistically speaking, we probably won't have another shot at the Stanley Cup Final for another few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS4quality Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Vancouver doesn't get rebounds...Quick isn't owning this team, he only has to make one save at a time. We need to bang and crash, because thats the only way to win in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Toronto needs a Goalie also ... Luongo + 2nd for Lupul + 3rd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolcat13 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hodgson WAS NOT our franchise! He was a 3rd line rookie, NOTHING MORE! If we didn't make that Kassian/Hodgson trade, we would STILL be down 3 games to none in the first round against LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Maybe so, but that still doesn't justify the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkoshack Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 maybe, but we traded a player who scored in clutch situations and all of these three games have been close. What i do know is that he would make much more of a difference than Kassian in these Playoffs. If the canucks didn't want Hodgson, or Hodgson wanted a trade, we could have done it in the off season.

JensenFan2011 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 If you wait till the offseason you risk him getting little ice time in the playoffs, and under AV I guarantee that would've happened. Thus he'd underperform and decrease his trade value. Also if he did in fact ask for a trade and we waited till the summer to trade him you also risk the word getting out that he requested a trade and that decreases his value further as teams know you have to trade him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouria Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Well, you can't expect to win a cup without someone who can be relied on to finish. We've been playing above our skill level for the past two season. I mean Burrows, Raymond and Hansen in your top 6? They're all 3rd liners and nothing more. Burrows and Hansen are great 3rd liners, but still. We have Lappiere playing the powerplay. We do the same things to break out or set up every game. This team has no creativity, little skill beyond the Sedins on offense and no finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Since Feb. we had too many guys not scoring regularly. I was concerned like a lot of people that this was not just a temporary slump, but now it seems apparent that we have some deeper issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uber_pwnzor Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Well, saying that Burrows, a guy that's score 30+ goals in a season isn't a top six guy is just plain wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Dogg Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hahah my bad. I think we could get more for Luongo, but he limits us to either Tampa or Florida, in which either team really has what we need. I think we should trade Schneider, but that's because he could get what we need, and then that opens up 26 other teams for discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
