[Rumour] Canucks have attempted to acquire Brandon Dubinsky


Recommended Posts

And you idiots need to stop trading booth... he's a Canuck next season, and he should be. The Canucks are in NEED of secondary scoring, he was on pace for 24 with the big move and the knee injury.... Im betting that with a full healthy training camp and season, he'll be knocking on 30...

Something tells me Gillis knows something. Like perhaps New York is close to acquiring Nash, but need to unload some salary.

Just like the trade for Ehrhoff. San Jose wanted Heatley and we got Ehrhoff for practicaly nothing.

If Gillis can get Dubinsky for some mid range prospects like Sweatt and Sauve, I'd be down.

A cap hit of 4.2 isn't as high as many people are making it out to be, especially if Raymond is going the other way, because Kesler will likely miss close to half the regular season on IR. If Raymond is going back then it amounts to an approximate 2.0 increase in base salary.

Take into account that the Nucks may also shed some by trading Lou and could lose Alberts and Salo. The difference is closer to chump change for what you get back.

Also, it's apparent few of you have watched him play very much. Concerned about his salary? Would you be concerned with Mike Fisher's? Guys like this add a whole different dimension than just scoring.

Lol at everyone putting Booth in their proposals..

David Booth is a physical, quick, skilled winger. He hits, and crashes the net- exactly what the Canucks need.

We got David Booth last season, and it was a big move for him. This will be his first off-season with the organization, and he has great numbers in his past. And you guys want to give up on him already? Unreal. Smh.

Back to the topic though, Dubinsky would be a SOLID Third line centre option. I dont like him in the top 6, as I really believe that the Canucks require a bonafide point producer rather than a 2/3 tweener- for the top 6 at least. But if He was acquire for the 3C role- where does that leave Jordan Schroeder?

5 mil left after acquiring dubinsky and parise. Traded loungo straight up for shenn, abviously we could get more. Kept malhotra and alberts just to see how cap would look with them on the team.

Thats a pretty big top 6. D is sturdy, but could use some help. Lack probably needs more time in the ahl. We could still make some moves to upgrade the D. Even if we cant get Parise we could get other players from UFA for his spot. Thats with a cap of 70 mil but it fits, barely. If we remove malhotra and alberts that could still fit in a 68 mil cap hit we could still sign somebody for some defensive depth or get another top 6 dman

This would be a cap dump for NYR so Duby wouldn't cost too much. He didn't produce much last year but could be a money ball player MG likes to go after.

$4.2 mill cap hit is not what it was a few years ago with the cap going up to $70 mill next year.
