DeNiro Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm guessing nothing happens re: Lu until Doan picks a team. So perhaps later next week. You have to think Gillis wants this done sooner, rather than later (for planning purposes) - assuming there are good trade options available. I still think he ends up in Florida, and Canucks end up with one of their centers: Bjugstad/Huberdeau/Goc, + other pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I agree with this. If Gillis can somehow manage to sign Doan, it eliminates our need for a top 6 winger in a trade. But if he stays in Phoenix, which is likely, then maybe a trade involving a player like Lupul is more attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 No Maple Leafs, please. I still don't dislike the team, but there are no real upgrades for us on the team. Maybe Jake Gardiner, but we don't really need him. We need offensive upgrades, and Toronto can't help us with that now. They can't help themselves there either.

cripplereh Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 yes I think florida is the only option but make a bigger deal and get usa good D man and a big center for the thid line.I thinkit doesnt matter where Doan goes we will still get the best deal we can for luo.I'd rather have a young d man that has played atleast a year then to get a minor player who might not be as good an NHLer.I would rather have Ellerby who is young,big and has upside then to get a wildcard like Gudbranson.Matthias is a very attractive player and big center third liner ,those two I'd love to see us get and trade Ballard,Raymond,Manny any two of them.Lupul is good but streaky and a bit soft so I wouldnt want him on this team when we have been pushed around a bit.

GHL Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 just throw a Lu + package for Gudbranson and get this over with Luongo Raymond 2nd round pick and a prospect for Gudbranson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Canucks won't trade Luongo until Doan makes a decision. If Doan signs here, the Canucks' need for a top 6 forward goes down and getting a guy like Versteeg/Lupul is no longer a priority. If we can get Doan for free, MG is going to probably be looking for a dman in return. This offseason has been the year of waiting. I'd say we're all going to have to wait at least 5 more days (day of Doan's decision). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I think Raymond was signed as an insurance policy if we're unable to get a top 6. Obviously we'd like someone better, but that may not be possible. If we do however acquire a top 6 player like Doan, I see Raymond being traded for a depth defenceman, and Luongo being traded for a third line center and some picks and/or prospects.

Boudrias Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Ya, I think Doan stays in Phx as well. Not sure about Lupul being attractive though. His contract expires next summer, and he's due for a big raise (likely more $$ than Kesler). Can't see them trading for a guy whose contract expires next summer - they already have some high profile UFAs next summer. But, as you said, you'd think a top 6 guy would be in a package if Doan signs elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowscyne Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Still hearing that Kadri or Colborne will be a part of a Luongo deal to the leafs. Still could change, but that's the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Colborne fits our needs more than Kadri. But I have a feeling that if Kadri came here, he'd become a star, cause it would be funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Up to now this off-season has stalled due to the lack of quality free agents. It wouldn't surprise me if there were at least 20 of the 30 teams who have had feelers out for one or more of Suter, Parise & Doan. This obviously blocks the rest of the transfer market. Nash and Luongo will no doubt be traded but lack of free agents has thrown up many variables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BZRK Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I think you people are forgetting that Gudbranson is only 20 years old and was a top-3 pick. He's got big potential, If he maximizes his potential, i could see him turning into a Marc Staal. I would Ideally like to see a combination of Kulikov/Gudbranson/Matthias/Bjugstad (2 of them) for Luongo and Schroeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
