JasetheCanuck Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Doan's age is my concern. but, having him here for one or two years gives us an offensive boost in our Top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehamburglar Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I do want him. But I don't want Luongo traded, bring up Lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Garret's moustache Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 What about Ray Whitney? He's a good plan B, and probably a more realistic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Everyone says sign Garrison like it's an easy task. Wideman just got 5.25mil for 5 years. Garrison won't be that high but he will be in that ball park. Not sure if our team will be drastically different come October 2012. They probably can maybe afford one of Doan/Garrison/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70seven Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 yes to doan no to semin but Id rather schultz + garrison those additions would transform our PP, and give it that #1 dominance again, having a puck moving QB and a friggin bomb to work with... up front, i like that we have competition for the role... higgins, kassian, raymond, schroeder, jensen.... im betting one of the bunch will step it up.

ButterBean Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Doan doesn't fit with Gillis or MY plans.............Unless his name is Perry, Kane, Backes, Clowe or Stewart, I am not interested. I agree with post above Doan is a liability ............and he is too old for my liking. I could be persuaded to consider some alternatives to above...........but Doan is not one of them.

dura_mater Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Have you seen Semin play he is really skilled. I believe if he ever tried he would be top 5 in points in the league. I am sorry I would choose a guy of that skill who is soft over a goon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck fan in Calgary Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Overpayment, but I doubt Phoenix lets go of Vermette. There already not very strong at the center position as it is, but if they lose Vermette, they have Hanzal, Gordon, Chipchura? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Stuff we need: Size -- check Ability to use size.......... -- check Leadership -- check (Kesler is a bust in this department, IMO... lead by example! ) Offensive skills; passing, scoring -- check and check Experience -- check Worst case scenario: pointless feud with AV that came out of nowhere. Damned frenchies...? Solution: FIRE AV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Trade Phoenix rights to Raymond for rights to Doan. They get a speedy winger that can keep up with Vermette. We get a vet PFWD to compliment Sedins or Kesler, and mentor Kassian/Jensen a la Sundin with Kesler. Sign Doan to 2 years, 11 million. Respects internal equity. We get bigger, and don't really lose out on youth by spending available cap. Doan gets 2 shots at a cup, A raise, and a happy wife back in her home province. Assign the following responsibilities: Doan: protect twins, win cup, repeat Doans left elbow: Jason Marchand Doan's right elbow: Duncan Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Is there no one else sick of the the way this Elite team chases after players who don't deserve a place on it. I'm tired of us going for just above average players............. We have a need and that need is for game changers. First rate quality game changers. Guys who other teams want but we want more and can "offer them a good time" We will never win the CUP if we continue to try to penny pinch, uncover "hidden gems" or rehabilitate "injury projects" Our team needs a certain type of player and we have to face the facts that 2 or three of these type of players will cost us. I'm as guilty as anyone in being loyal to players...........or more specifically not being prepared to see them rubbished on here by idiots. However I have always said if we are going for the "the game changer, I don't mind who we trade in the process. I liked Cody but was never blind to his shortcomings, however he WAS an asset (then) and I think we should have used him at season's end to help get what we need NOW. I'm sure Kassian will be a decent player for us in time but I doubt it will be this year or next if we are talking Stanley. Gragnani? another project. Schultz may or may not be a bargain, but he hasn't the qualities most of us have said we need to go the extra mile. Sure, take him if he is free and his salary is small..............but people on here are thinking he will play on the team. That kind of thinking is for those who want to go another 50 years without a CUP. We have too many similar players, too many, all of about the same standard and as a unit they make a fine team but not one built for the war of attrition that is the Stanley Cup. I only hope that Gillis does not take his eye off the ball as much as the people of CDC do. Wetting themselves every time a half decent player crops up and screaming "OMG, OMG we've got to get him, he'll rock in this team" Frankly it's pathetic guys / gals.

PistolPete13 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It says volumes for how this team has been mismanaged, that the only hope of improvement fans talk about is signing players from other organizations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacvan Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Personally I am not all that much of a Doan fan, but that article did bring up some good points about Doan. I do agree that we would make the 2nd line a lot deadlier and that is something that I would love to see. Plus I think if the Canucks do sign him and get a good defenceman then this team when Kesler gets back will be a better team than last year.
