Mr.DirtyDangles Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 We need scoring not more defense plain and simple . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksSayEh Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Nash by far Sedin-Sedin-Nash Booth-Kes-Burr Raymond-Higgins-Hansen Weise-Lapps-Kass with Garrison, our defence by committee looks promising as well as our PP, This looks like a Cup winning team to me.

22Sedinery33 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Why do we need Weber when our D is perfectly fine at the moment? Edler, Garrison Hamhuis, Bieksa Ballard, Tanev I would rather get Nash to play with the Sedin's, big body, drives hard to the net, checks and puts up goals. I believe we need to worry more about scoring then we do about our own back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Rick Nash 6'4" 219lbs, 30 goals most of his NHL seasons with a couple 40 goal seasons. He's 28 years old and had 104 hits last year. Little to no supporting cast Shea Weber - similar size/hits. Supporting cast - Suter and Rinne. Weber BEST +/- was last year at +22 on a very defense first Nashville team. Do you know what Kevin Bieksa's best +/- is? +32 Canucks: 8 goals in 7 games in the SCF. Is it really a question who would benefit this team more? Just imagine what our second line would look like: Booth Kesler Nash You really think Nash is gonna get pushed around come playoff time?

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 As much as either acquisition would be great, I would prefer Nash over Weber because he would do so much better on the score board and goals are what win games. I am not being critical of Weber in any sense, I simply believe scoring is far more important to the team and Nash would be a perfect fit with the Sedins.

DaMacNamedDre Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 i love Shea Weber (n/hmo) but the thought of Rick Nash playing with the Sedins is way too appealing especially considering the lack of production every year come playoff time when the going gets tough and the twins disappear. Henrik and Daniel desperately need a beast on their wing. Nash would probably score 45-50 ginos with them. Sedin-Sedin-Nash/B.Ryan/S.Doan Booth-Kesler-Burrows Higgins-Lapierre-Hansen Volpatti-Bitz-Kassian (wrecking crew) Jensen + random super thug Hamhuis-Bieksa Edler-Garrison Tanev-Gudbranson Alberts Schneider Theodore/Lack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17's heart&hustle Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I would do kesler for nash in a heart beat. Ive said it before , will say it again. Kesler will retire with a broken body and will hit his decline sooner than most other players. If we can trade him before his NTC kicks in for nash then by all means do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshinefe Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I think Weber is the superior talent, but given the team's needs Nash would be more useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Rly so why is no1 going on n on about him here??? I see he is from NJ maybe the Devils will sign him since they lost Parise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksSayEh Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Why do people constantly put Higgins on the 3rd line ? Give your head a shake ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 What?? I'm pretty sure that Bobby Ryan is from Philadelphia (he even stated interest in being trade there) And the Devils can't exactly SIGN him because he is still under contract for 3 more years....

Captain Aerosex Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Shea Weber, this isn't even a question. Even if our scoring is a more pressing need than defence, Shea Weber's been the best defenceman of the decade so far. I don't consider Rick Nash a top 10 forward. You don't pass up on a player like that for Rick Nash, as great as Nash is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 he's from cherry hill, new jersey, if memory serves. that said, philly is only separated from new jersey by a river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Our defence is pretty much set just need depth. Nash would be nice, would really change everything. Wouldn't this look awesome: Sedin - Sedin - Nash Booth - Kesler - Burrows Higgins - Malhotra - Hansen Raymond - Lapierre - Kassian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.DirtyDangles Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Because he's exactly what a 3rd liner should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 rather see volpatti or Bitz than raymond and I'm really doubting if Manny will ever come back to his old form. between Manny and Raymond we don't have space for handicapped players anymore on this team. we need another centre, a power winger for the twins that can fight and finish and another TOP 6 D and we will be alright. this team needs 3-4 pieces and pieces that are playoff built and not euro diving puss.
