canucks_dynasty Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 We can't trade Edler, he's our only hope of having a #1 D man next year. Unless if we can trade a goalie for a number D man, Edler has to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I, like others in this thread, am not sold on Kane. His skills are undeniable, but my fear is that his skill set wouldn't fit with what has been built here. He is a run and gun type player while we play a puck possession game. The only way I could see a fit for him would be to build a line around him. In my mind, this would make players like Booth and Kesler expendable and would change the mindset of our strategy. This, however, could change the fortunes of a guy like Raymond. A line of Kane, Schroeder and Raymond could be a nightmare for any team. The speed would be sick and the dynamics of such a line could be legendary if they could gel. The thing that would be awesome is that all three can also play a defensive game. As for his personality issues; Maybe coming to a more veteran team with a lot of skill would help him to grow up a bit and lose his attitude. This, however, is where the biggest risk could be and where my hesitancy lies. If a deal were done to get him and his issues couldn't be overcome, we will have given up a lot and wound up with a lot of personality issues in the dressing room. As of now we have a solid second line center around whom we can build. I don't see Kane as a good fit with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Evander Kane's skill would be awesome, but everyone talks about his off ice personality. I think it sort of depends on whether his teammates like him or not. I've heard plenty of stories about Kesler being a prick off the ice, but he still fits into the dressing and isn't a locker room cancer as far as I know. Kane might be a bit of a douche in public, but as long that doesn't ruin our locker room chemistry, it could be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Jets need Luongo, simple as that. No more over analysing Edler+ for Kane, it's not going to happen. Luongo is on the block so add whatever needs to be added with Luongo as a centrepiece and make it happen! If we lose Edler we lose whatever chance we have to go deep in the playoffs.

Dogbyte Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I love the Canucks, but not as much as the Jets. So please listen when I say that all the proposals listed are not enough or they are assets the Jets do not need. 1. Taking Luongo's NTC out of the equation, the Jets have no need for him (the same goes for Schneider). I'll give you a hint why. His name rhymes with "Smavlac." 2. Raymond is useless on any team. Why the Jets want to get weaker is beyond comprehension. 3. First round picks from the Canucks do not mean a lot when dealing w/ a player the caliber of Evander Kane. 4. Ballard is a complete waste. If he cannot succeed on the Canucks, he has no hope with the Jets, a far inferior team. If Kane wants to be a spoiled brat and play for only one team, then that team will have to pay through the nose to get him. Remember, this is much different than Rick Nash, Dany Heatley, Roberto Luongo, Chris Pronger, etc. Kane is a RFA and has no bargaining power. The Jets hold all the cards. He can be a big boy and sign a new contract and grow up; or, he can sit out and not play at all. Either way, the Jets won't trade him to his favourite destination just because Kane says so. And by the way, IF the Canucks were to get Kane, they would have to give up Edler and Burrows to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 It's also unrealistic. Winnipeg doesn't want a whole bunch of pieces, they will be looking for a bird in hand, not two in the bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I would love to have a 21 year old power forward, home town boy, future all star on the Canucks. MG should find a way to get Kane in a Canucks jersey if he's made available. He's young, big, scores, and willing to drop the gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiDeN Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 You guys are obviously basing your opinion on stats and not on games watched. Pavelec was a beast all year and incredibly consistent until the last ~10 games. He carried the team to very respectable numbers while the team dropped him to just terrible numbers. Luongo/Schneider would not have better numbers in front of this defense. Anybody who watched the Jets consistently would tell you that we're set in goal. It's the only position we're set in.

Mighty Walrus Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Lol Some jets fans are saying they would like hamhuis+ In exchange for Kane. It would be terrifying Without hamhuis in the Canucks lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiDeN Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yeah, I would rather not lose any of Bieksa, Edler, or Hamhuis unless we were getting a replacement, because we don't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
