canuckbeliever Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 No, Bob McCown just used late August in his question as a way to determine a time frame in when Doan would decide by. Bross stated that he thought it would be done much earlier than that. Seemed to me like he meant in the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckbeliever Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Amazingly I don't want Doan... I agree that he would help the team... BUT Signing him may cause us to not have enough cash for Weber. Who would cause all aspects of the entire team to improve much more drastically IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John.Tallhouse Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'd love to see Doan on the top line, just to see how he could fit in with the twins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I think we get Doan and then trade for weber,get Luo gone,Ballard,Manny and Raymond we'd have way more money to sign them and have room to resign Edler!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukaMui Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Are you nuts? 3 years at 6M per? Thank God you're not running this organization. I agree with all the guys who says he has the type of the game the Canucks need but his offensive skills are in decline and he's been through a lot of games at a hard, physical pace which equals a fast decline. I think 3 years is far too long and 6 mil is just nuts. 2 years 9 mil works for me best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Many people have said it but the Weber thing is a sinking ship. He will probably be traded this year so Preds can maximize assets and not have a Suter situation again. The problem with that is the Canucks wont have the assets to get Weber.

MoneypuckOverlord Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Sure the Preds will trade him this year. They have been trying to sign him for over a year now in an attempt to keep Suter in Nashville. The problem Poile has is trying to maximize his return for Weber. If Weber is not prepared to extend his contract as part of a trade then the Preds are hooped. Any acquiring team will significantly reduce their trade offer realizing that Weber will be going to UFA at the end of next season. It is Weber who is in the drivers seat in any deal. All he has to do is wait until July 1st and then go to which ever team he wants. This is why Van should offer the Preds Edler. If as part of the discussion Weber responds positively then Van knows he wants to come to BC. It would be worth an Edler to sign him this season. Signing Doan as well puts Van in a serious CUP mode.

greetingsfrombrazil Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I think he wants a 3+ years contract, and I would be fine if it's until 4 years. 6M per year is too much, he would make almost as much as the Sedins. I think he's willing to receive less to play here, but at them same time, we must make a very good offer. 4 year, 21M would be my guess. 22M would be acceptable too.

TheRocket18 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 we may have the assests for a weber deal after the lou trade has been done... but surely if we sign doan... we will not have the room for a #1 dman which imo, is what we need for stanley.

canucksnihilist Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 This may be the opportunity to improve in the short term (2-3 years) and risk having to sacrifice mid term (4-5 years). I'd take that risk, probably so would most. Big Q: does he want to come here? Does MG want that kind of risk? Can we afford to wait another year in this window?

geezer2 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I don't quite get all the excitement. his skills have dropped off and he is reaching his best before date Yes he is a character guy and will help in the short term but to gamble a huge cap hit or even 3 years seems a little rash. not saying I don't want him but the price has to be right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
