Trebreh Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 If Pahlsson and Malhotra are back next season, I will be very dissapointed. Raymond,Ballard and 2 of the same players (Malhotra/Pahlsson) taking up 4 roster spots and 11m+ of our cap space will never win the cup with this. Everyone who brings up the same Manny argument (leadership,faceoff etc) needs to get over his damn injury. Cant play the pity card again, the Canucks gave him a full year to prove himself last year and the only thing he's proven is he might never get back to the player he once was. The Canucks need to move on, you cannot build a team based on your emotions, I want to see the 4th line reinvented. I want it big, mean and nasty. LA's 4th line is owning in this years PO and the entire line makes less than Malhotra our glorified faceoff 'specialist'. MG will have to break some of the promises he made to players with NTC this summer, he needs to go all in this offseason because our window is starting to close.

Phil_314 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'm referring to the SC playoffs. He was supposed to be the missing part, the guy who would take us that bit further. I lost count of the number of posts on how he would "beast" his way through the playoffs. (I knew he wouldn't) All he did imo was pinball about bringing Kes's game down and doing very little. I would have liked to have seen him up with the Sedins ..............where surely he would have to pass.........eventually, but now I would rather use him to get a big sniper for the twins...........Perry/Getzlaf/that type. If he stays, I'm ok with it but he needs to change his game a lot. He needs to get his head up, make the early pass and go to the net for the return and stop running up dead ends with the puck.

Vansicle Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 You're probably one of those people that are still advocating for Naslund, Bertuzzi, and Morrison's return to Vancouver. Listen, if it's broke, fix it. Right now, the Canucks are broken. The Kings solved the Canucks easily in 5 games. Time to change 'er up. Lose the sentiment and your attachment disorder.

Raph Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Keep Malholtra, he is fine as the 4th line centre. Overpaid yes, but he is serviceable, reliable, and can win faceoffs. He only has one more year on his contract, give him some good faith, show some class. Move Lapierre to the 3rd line centre. Drop Pahlsson, he's redundant. Sedin, Kesler, Lapierre, Malholtra up the middle. Andrew Ebbett as 13th forward who can play centre too. Call up Schroeder as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sick Hands Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Malhotra has an NTC, so the best we can do is pray that a solid off-season of training gets him back to a 10-goal scoring mark and 30-point standard. Pahlsson on the otherhand was one of our only bright spots in the playoffs and in the stretch run. He isn't worth 2.5 million anymore but is a very solid 4th line veteran that should get 1.5 million for a year. He was solid physically, a great penalty killer and has a wicked shot with some great offensive abilities. Meanwhile Lapierre played well for us, and with Hansen improving I'd like to see this next season: Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Higgins Kassian - Lapierre - Hansen Pahlsson - Malhotra - Bitz Weise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soshified Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I like them both. Pahlsson was one of our good forwards heading into the playoffs. But their 2+ million contract should be 1.5 each. I would love to see both of them back next year. And when Manny retires, i hope he's part of the Canucks organization in some ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I don't see what the harm is with keeping either. Manny will have the full off season to train. If trades have to be made during the regular season, then so be it. I thought both fulfilled their duties as role players. And neither are selfish individuals. The team needs team first players like them. Plus upgrades might not necessarily be available/worth the cost/risk. I say give them both another shot next year.

Ray_Cathode Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Practically the same forward lines that couldn't solve the Kings D and Quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearloch7 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Our problems started in our own end getting the puck onto a forward's stick. Mostly we did not make a creative play and just chipped off the glass (or over). You also have to remember we had a seriously injured Kelser and Danny was not yet right. Injuries are a big part of playoff success - what we need is what almost everyone on CDC denies - we need a player so intimidating that it keeps our good players healthy. When weasels like Keith can hammer your best player illegally and put him out for a month, and then skate off unharmed, then any bum feels at liberty to take out your best players. An enforcer is not there to control the goons directly, he is there to make sure that non-enforcers don't take liberties without the terror of having their season ended. If an enforcer takes out your best player, your enforcer takes out their best player. It is called mutual assured destruction, and it is the ONLY thing that has ever worked to put any kind of cap on the mayhem in the NHL. If MG and AV and most of CDC want to see the likes of Sedins, Kesler, Hamhuis, Edler, Burrows, Ehrhoff able to play in any kind of health in the playoffs - MAD is the only way. You end my best player's season, and I will end your best two players seasons. Works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 the eye really messed him up. Unless he's a huge liablity, MIke Gillis will honor, and let him complete his 3 year contract, then after that, he probably won't be re signed. Malhotra is still like the 3rd best faceoff in the leauge, so having him wont hurt, 2.5 million dollars, and one year left, won't hurt. He's a good guy to have around. Phallson too, he played pretty good for us in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
