Jägermeister Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I think we will look for options for Ballard, but only trade him for a decent return, not purely as a cap dump. I would love Suter, but it just isn't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafizzle Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Gillis isn't going to offer Suter a 12 year deal which is what other teams reportedly are offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry Park Islanders Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 IMO, with the signing of Kuba, and Allen. Florida would appear poised for a trade, say that dishy young D-Stud Gudbranson. I realize this is wishful thinking, but it does appear Florida may have extra D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Carle is still floating around and could be had for 4.5 to 5 million. Canucks have 6 million in cap space, but need a center more importantly now. Still, this is a cup-winning defence: Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Garrison Carle - Ballard Tanev Wow. Could use a bit more size but that's still great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAN_FAN_MATT Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 If Gillis had any intention of going after Suter, we most definately would've heard about it on TSN and twitter today, besides, there is no way Gillis can match let alone better any kind of offer that some of the other teams involved have been rumored to have put on the table. The rumored signing bonuses alone are f'n absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danthecanucksfan Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'd like Gudbranson, and only way we get Suter is if Ballard was a pure salary dump- 4.2M going their way, and less than 1M coming our way. But apparently Suter was offered 9M/year for 10 years by detroit. We would also have to clear space in the Luongo trade to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danthecanucksfan Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'd agree with your statement but that's way too much invested into our defense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Ballard is a great guy to have on our third pairing - and I think as we saw today, his 4.2 million cap hit has fallen back into the going rate for any solid depth blueliner... I think Ballard has his best days in Vancouver ahead of him. Suter for me was and is a no. I'd much rather have Garrison at 4.6 - Suter is going to sign for ridiculous money - I think he'll turn out to be the biggest overppayment in this year's UFA class.

HockeyHobo73 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 You for got the options "Yes, but no one is dumb enough to take on that contract" and "No, Gillis has better things to do than to make a pitch for Suter because there is no way he will come here" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyfresh Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Ballard and garrison pairing would be pretty sweet I think, ballard can finally play a bit more offensively without being worried if he makes a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
