Dirt Nasty Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 These are some trades I've been thinking about that could benefit the Canucks. First trade : To TOR: Luongo, Raymond To VAN: Grabovski, 2013 1st Vancouver gets a top 6 forward who is still young and could put up 50+ points playing on the second line either center or wing, depending on injuries. Van also receives hopefully a high first round pick in a deep draft. Toronto receives an elite goalie who will be able to help them get into the playoffs, and a 2nd/3rd line winger who may just need a change of scenery, but can still put up 30+ points while adding some speed and is smart defensively. Second Trade: To NYR: Dale Weise, 2nd 2013 To VAN: Brian Boyle, 4th 2013 Vancouver receives a big 3rd line center who will add some size and grit to the line up, he can also put up 30ish points, and a 4th round pick. New York receives a solid 4th line player who is still young and can only get better, and a 2nd round pick in a deep draft. To PHX: Aaron Volpatti, NYR's 4th 2013 To VAN: Raffi Torres Vancouver gets Torres back, a solid 3rd/4th liner who adds lots of grit and character to the team. Phoenix receives a decent 4th liner and a pick, plus after Torres big suspension I think Phoenix isnt to big on Raffi right now. Line up after the trades with a healthy line up: Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Booth-Kesler-Grabovski Torres-Boyle-Hansen Malhotra-Lapierre-Kassian Hamhuis-Bieksa Edler-Garrison Ballard-Tanev Schneider Lack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 1. I guess I would do it. I wouldn't be all for it, but I do suppose we could do worse. 2. I assume you mean Brian Boyle. Would do it in a heartbeat, but couldn't see the Rags doing it. 3. We aren't going to trade for Raffi Torres. If we wanted him, we would have resigned him.

CanucksFanMike Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 dan boyle plays for San Jose.... I think you mean Brian Boyle. As for the three trades, I would do the NYR deal and maybe the TOR deal but definitely not the PHX deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay86 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 didnt we claim weisse off o weaivers from the rangers??? if so i dont think they would be willing to give up boyle....to get back a player they were comfortable tisking going through waivers.

elvis15 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The Leafs won't give us Grabovski and a 1st for Luongo and Raymond. The Rangers won't give up {Brian} Boyle for so little return, he's a key component of their bottom 6. If we wanted Torres, we would have just re-signed him.

Smashian Kassian Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 1. I would do it forsure, but like every told me they probably won't trade Grabo. 2. They won't do it, they waived Weise and Boyle is too important to them. 3. No thanks, like everyone else said we could have just resigned hi, if were willing to give him that price.

Master Mind Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 You had my curiosity when I saw a PHX proposal, but then I saw that it was for Torres... We would have re-signed him if we wanted him, and why would we want a suspended player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virt 'n Kass Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Grabovski isn't going anywhere, regardless of how badly they need goaltending. Luongo couldn't pry a big, young centerman out of Florida. How would Weise, a player they waived, pry a similar player out of New York? I wouldn't mind the 3rd trade, but I can't see Phoenix taking a fringe 4th liner and a mid-round pick in return. I also don't think the Canucks want Torres back after he almost cost us the Chicago series in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The Rangers were reluctant to put him on waivers though, but in the end they felt the other forwards were ahead of him and had no choice. Gillis had looked at moving for him prior to that iirc, so the Rangers lost him for nothing when they could have had a low pick or something for him instead. It's not unreasonable they'd take him back in a deal, but not as a major piece in return for Brian Boyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Burrows 14 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 If we could do that tor trade i would do it faster then u can think. The nyr one is good, id do it. And no to the phx trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 If Gaustad can get a 1st as a pending UFA, then there's no way the Rangers give up Boyle for a 2nd as the major piece. Weise certainly isn't worth more than a 4th round pick, so it's not like he adds significantly to the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Fair enough, what do you think it would take to get Boyle? I think he'd be a perfect fit for our 3rd line center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
