Alex the Great Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Huh? The Canucks have a $5.000 3C in Kesler but plays 2C because of a lack in that position. I'd rather go for something entirely different: PIT D. SEDIN H. SEDIN VAN MALKIN J. STAAL We ALL know that fundamentally, this deal makes sense. Only emotional baggage prevents such a deal. Emotion and business don't mix. Two Cup winning centers down the middle is exactly what is needed. We have enough to complement these two centers.

Canada Hockey Place Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Thanks for the Hansen/Dubinsky tip. Not sure if it means anything but cool connection. I wonder what happened to Mike Funk. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0010002006.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerdraft Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I doubt it. IF Nucks get Dubinsky...I see Dubinsky slotting in 2nd line centre until Kesler gets back from injury. Lapierre moves up to 3rd while Malhotra takes 4th. When Kelser gets back...then roll out Henrik, Kesler, Dubinsky, and Lapierre as the centres. Malhotra slots back as 4th LW and takes defensive faceoffs and PK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex the Great Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 When you say franchise, please remember you're talking about the Canucks; most records are easily breakable, unlike any of the original six and some. When's the last time you saw a Sedin fight? Last time they played on the PK, the Internet was just becoming famous. They are indeed very soft and MUST play together. they also MUST have a defensively savvy player on their RW. Bertuzzi was the prototypical SEDIN complement. Didn't work. Naslund, one of the most exciting player to play the game, couldn't make it work with the Sedins either. They are babies and divers and don't fight back. Don't blame Lu for the inadequacies on the ice; blame the captain who might be an iron streak holder, but is as soft as cream puffs right out of the oven. Mallon and Staal on the other hand, are the real deal. Mallon is 25 and Staal is 23. They both fight when called upon, Malkin had 109 points in 75 games while Staal is ready for a bigger role that Pitsburgh will now afford him. In the playoffs, both Malkin and Staal are absolute beasts. The Canucks are not coming out of the West with the Sedins at the helm. The window of opportunity has come and gone for them and it is best to part ways. Business wise, sell high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 If he plays the 3rd line center position I can see that. But at 4.2 mil he'll probably be unhappy with anything less than a top 6 role. And even with him on Kesler's line with Booth, I don't see how that will help that line produce. None of them could pass if their lives depended on it.

D-Money Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The only reason Dubinsky would be available was if the Rangers had a deal in place to get Nash, and needed cap room. So to the people making proposals with Booth, Ballard, or any other expensive players: stop. Price will likely be one effective but cheap player (Lapierre, Hansen), plus a very good pick/prospect (or two good ones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Te@m1040 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Wasn't Dubinsky struggling in NY and isnt really much of, if at all an upgrade to Booth. NY would have to add more to that IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Not a big fan of Malhotra as our third line center. Great guy, good size, great on draws, strong skater, but does not have enough offensively to sustain 3rd line duties on a contender. Not to mention his tragic eye damage that has negatively effected his vision. Just 2 goals in 35 playoff games is not good enough. Dubinsky would be a welcome addition IMO. If Manny can make a recovery in form, a bottom 6 of: Raymond Lapierre Kassian Moen Malhotra Hansen ..............is ok with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Well, Dubinsky & Hansen have played an entire season on a line together in 2005-2006... This would hopefully create a third layer of offensive support behind the twins. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Booth - Kesler - PA Parenteau Higgins - Dubinsky - Hansen That third line would be just an absolute counter attacking nightmare for other teams to deal with.
