unknown33429 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I am Russian and would LOVE to see some Russian players in Vancouver but not Semin Very talented forward but VERY LAZY PLAYER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefCon1 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I honestly think Semin and Huselius would solidify our forwards. Trade Luongo and Raymond to Florida for Bjugstad and a 1st. Then trade Ballard, Alberts, and Malhotra for picks and prospects to free up cap space. Then sign say, Matt Carle to round out the defense Sedin - Sedin - Booth Semin - Kesler - Huselius Burrows - Bjugstad - Kassian Higgins - Lapierre - Hansen Edler - Garrison Hamhuis - Bieksa Tanev - Carle Schneider Lack Pretty freakin solid.

nux4lyfe Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 People actually want this wuss? I thought we were trying to get bigger, tougher and people want to bring in a lazy cat-fighter? LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc44 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 The only way Semin is in the NHL nest season is if he really wants to play here, He is going to get a better contract offer in russia that comes tax free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavel the Bure Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Perhaps I should describe LAZY in my understanding, NOT hard working in training, party way too much, not working hard on defense. I follow many Russian players not only during NHL season but also during off-season in Russia. Many players state one thing in North America and totally different things over the ocean. About “Lazy people don't make it to the NHL” I have just two words for Vancouver Canucks fans: Viktor Krutov. Trust me on this, Semin not a team player and we don’t need him ….

ice8eight Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Why is everyone criticizing Semin's "cat-like" fight style? Not all hockey players are fighters. They are not being thought to fight or have proper fighting style. Move on. This guy is a game breaker. Now let's see how you fight. Criticizing that is really low considering we have 2 super-stars who never fights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Still hope this could be reality. But I doubt we are even going for Semin. But he could really make a difference in the scoring department. And with the complementary players he could have around him could even make him a challenger for the Maurice Richard. Kesler on regular shifts and Sedins on the PP. Just dreamin'...

Bo Horvat Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Don't sign Semin. Semin will be a stain on our bench for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Unlikely, but the Canucks are one of the few teams with the veteran presence and leadership to hold him accountable..... maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblix Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Who cares how he fights, people covet Bure and how he was the most dynamic player we've ever seen. Well let me tell you Semin is skilled, Semin is exciting. Now I'm not saying Semin is as good as Bure but I'm just saying there is a place for these skilled russians and it'd be amazing to see him play with the Sedin's. The price has to be right and the term has to be limited as we need to think about future contracts to Edler/Burrows and maybe Weber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 The comedy value alone might be worth it. Even watching Tuesday night games against Columbus would become entertaining hearing phrases like: -Semin shoots into his chest! -Semin is flying all over the ice! -Phaneuf goes to get the puck, but Semin is on his tail! -Semin enters the slot!
