The Magician Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Schroeder is playing with crappy wingers in the AHL! Maybe if he played with decent NHL wingers, it would elivate his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCKLELION Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 You are one ignorant donkey and so are the donkeys that agree with you. Here are the FACTS: Bieksa was 13th in scoring amongst defencemen with hardly ANY first unit PP time. SECOND in even strength points - ahead of such luminaries as Chara, Weber, Keith, Seabrooke, Yandle and so on. The team asked him to change his role last year with the loss of Ehrhoff, and tht led him to take more chances than he normally would - the previous year, when asked to take on a more defensive role - he was tied for second in +/- - that does not happen by accident. Last year he was still +13 (29th among Ds), even though he had been asked to take on more of an offensive role. You don't blame a player for what he is ASKED to do.

onesmallleap Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 In order to replace kesler properly while he is out the canucks need to sign alex despatie, that way we still get the intangibles that brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Did you even read the OP? Replacing Ryan Kesler while he is resting his injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foo202 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Jordan Schroeder will probably be given a chance to be a top six forward, but at the same time there's no guarantee that the season will start on time considering the CBA running out and Bettman's track record that might mean Kesler could be healthy by the start of a shortened season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronningsback Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Mason Raymond - he is useless along the wall but he looked good the couple of times we tried him at centre - has the skill sets to be an accomplished centre ..why not try him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Depth at center is probably the 2nd most important thing behind goaltending if we want to win a Cup. Letting Hodgson go for a winger was a big mistake, so either Schroeder or Jensen step up and have an Adam Henrique-like season or we need to go find a scoring centerman who will fill Kesler's role, but stay in the lineup when he returns. A rental player like what BMO did for Chicago would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucklehead420 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 no one should replace kesler you guys will be saying woow i love kesler at the end of next season but i think higgins should replace him in the beginning of the year because higgins is ok on the dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead420 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 How is Luongo a gem? WE DO NOT NEED HIM ANYMORE!!!!! If you had even a peanut for a brain you would realize that we need playoff secondary scoring!!!! Stephen Weiss brings that for us! And at a cap hit of 3.1 mil, how can you say no to that? But to be honest with you I don't even think FLA picks up the phone if we were to offer Luongo straight up for Weiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avicii Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Kesler, Schneider, Edler for Giroux, JVR/Simmonds If only Bryzgalov requested out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginu Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I dont see Kesler's replacement be a big caliber player as eventually he will come back and will fall back into his second line centre position... There is no way he fall into the third line center for 5mil lolz, would be nice but it will never happen. I also think CoHo would have fit this role giving Kesler enough time to have his surgery and rest back up to 100%, but we know where that ended up... I just hope Kassian will pan out because lately I've been pretty disappointed with our trades.... for some reason it seems like were just looking for more replacements each year to fit in certain roles and the cup keeps gaining distance from us... I really want to be wrong here, but that's how it feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auximenes Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 the only way a jordan staal trade would work is if he goes to 2nd line centre with Kes moving to wing not so sure Kes would thrive as a winger after playing well as a center for a while now edit: I do remember him playing well on Sundin's wing... hmmm Getting Jordan Staal is another matter (though I'm a huge fan of his play and would give up a lot to get him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangelos Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 you're right a goalie with over 300 wins 60 SO and a .919 career sv pct. is worthless we should just put him on waivers. just because we have another great goalie doesnt dimminish Lu's value to another team. get your head out of your a$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Garret's moustache Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Thats a hard one, I don't think we should go out and get someone, unless it is a Pavol Demitra type player that can play center, and Wing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Kariya28 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Kesler's career has been ruined by injuries, and he's one of the most overrated players in the nhl. I think he can be a good 35 point shutdown 3rd line center from now on, he is overpaid and needs to be traded. We need to find a permanent replacement for him. Trade Schneider + Kesler for maybe Johansen or someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
