MistuhMan Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's unfortunate that people can only compare offensive numbers as a "team" now. Apparently, nothing like defense, goaltending, leadership, and experience are thrown out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I don't know how you can even propose this without seeing the team play. They couldn't score any goals in the playoffs and rode Lundqvist's back until it broke; sure adding Nash has improved them but with their system I wonder how Nash will mesh. The Canucks outscored NYR this year with a hobbled Kesler, a broken down second line, and a stretch of inconsistent play from the Sedins. Don't count us out just yet.

stawns Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Based on NY's history, if I were Doan, I wouldn't consider going there unless I also got a NMC. Sather would have no bones about burying his ass in the minors or shipping him to Columbus if he didn't play to the level expected or to free cap space to sign someone deemed more valuable.

mysticriver Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Neither could we, and Nash will mesh just fine. That's not something anybody should worry about - a superstar like Nash will mesh wherever he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveforCanucksHockey Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Never said adding Doan would make our offence better than NYRs... quite the opposite actually. Read again (unless you were just agreeing with me by reiterating the sentiment). - Brad Richards is still a top PPG center in the league - Callahan is their heart and soul guy, like Kesler - Nash is a beast whose numbers have been stunted because of the crap-hole that is CBJ - Gaborik is still a top forward - Stepan is already a 50 point guy in his first two seasons on the big club, a great fit as the 2nd center That leaves Kreider, Hagelin or (and hopefully not) Doan as the 6th man. Kreider looks like a young phenom and Hagelin put up almost 40 points in under 70 games in his rookie season... we don't need to talk about Doan. Their offence >>> ours, at least the way it is now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putgolzin Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I completely understand all that, but I still completely disagree with you. I'm not going to do the work, but I think if you compare team's career goals, it will not flatter NYR. There's just no way I'm giving the outright advantage to NYR.

arsenalian Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Tomorrow is BC day, and my hunch is something will get announced then if indeed Doan intends to play for the Nucks. Crossing fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiveforCanucksHockey Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yeah because signings are usually announced on holidays. The only time that happens is when FA starts on July 1st and that's not a holiday in the US, which is the calendar the NHL is run on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Save Luongo!!! Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 The fortune I got on my Jones soda said Moday will be a very important day. Obviously that means Doan will sign tomorrow. You heard it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
