Smashian Kassian Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Booth will be close in about a month from now, he should return around the end of February. I don't think we should rush this but if we are going for the homerun (Gardiner) I think we should take a step back and look at Bozak or McArthur + Kadri, then something else aswell, 2nd or prospect. See how Schneids starts then make a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Spread the wealth. Sedin - Sedin - Kassian Higgins - Schroeder - Burrows Raymond - Lapierre - Hansen Volpatti - Malhotra - Weiss With a stro,ng defense and arguably the best goaltending tandem in the NHL, we will be fine.

oldnews Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Jensen has 14 goals, 6th in the SEL (and would be the leading scorer on 9 of the 12 teams there) - as a 19 year old... Not beyond the realm of possibility that this Danish stud could get a call if the Canucks need him...While they're at it, the Canucks could have a talk with his team-mate, undrafted 19 year old center Mattias Janmark-Nylen.

Tangelos Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Doesn't matter how good your defense and goaltending is. If you can't score goals you won't win. Plain and simple. The Sedins can't do it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You never know. Kassian playing with the twins for a while could be a blessing - his bridge to confidence at the NHL level. Kassian has all the tools he needs - and if he were to get on a bit of a roll with them, you just never know...The upside of that situation would be the combination of puck possession/cycling ability and finish that Kassian has, as well as the pushback on the ice with the twins. If Kassian developed Burrows' exceptional quality of relentless puck pursuit, it would be priceless. I think Burrows is as close to an ideal linemate for them as there is, particularly with his penalty killer, defensive backbone background, but what better model for Kassian to emulate? Take no shifts off, work hard in your own end, pursue the puck, hit the boards and go to the net - with that size and footspeed...deadly. For every guy that steps up like that, it pushes balance down the lineup. I think AV has plenty of quality NHL players to work with even with a couple top 6 out of the lineup.

Smashian Kassian Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 So what is the target now? I think the deal should change a bit to include Clarke McArthur, the thing is from their side he is a useful top 6 forward, from our side he is probably a rental. McArthur, Bozak, Kadri, Conditional Pick (2nd: If both McArthur and Bozak leave as UFA's. 3rd: if one of the 2 leaves, nothing if both are re-signed) Is that a stretch or realistic? They added JVR so that bumps one of there regular top 6 wingers down, so maybe that wold be McArthur and it would leave him open to trade, they have some guys other than that too, Connolly, Lombardi, McClement, Frattin, Colbourne, Ashton, exc. Anyways Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master 112 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Lots of options and interchangeable assets if we consider splitting the twins up. Of course, I would much rather see how they do paired together to start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hey guys, I got this from Calgarypuck, it's very intresting... Take it for what it's worth, but... We had 12 scouts in the restaurant I work at tonight for dinner, who are in town for the CHL top prospects game, and they were talking hockey with their server. They outright told her that Luongo to Florida was as good as done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hey guys, I got this from Calgarypuck, it's very intresting... I dont know why a Flame fan would make up a rumour that would benifit us, but apparently Luongo to Florida. Bjugstad + Weiss for Luongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Well that's gotta be the most reliable source I've ever seen. A server at a random restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I know like as in other sports they tend to have fun and saying something like that would make them all laugh after leaving knowing the server heard it and would tell someone.Thats to funny wish I was there to see that happen!I think a trade will happen asap or at the deadline after Schnieds proves he dominates!

King of the ES Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Fowler is futher ahead, and he is plays a one dimensional role which is easier to jump into right away, but Gudbranson will be the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I don't think it is that risky, maybe they won't produce but they won't be a liability defensively IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 As 18/19 year olds here were their OHL numbers: Gudbranson - 12 goals, 34 points in 44 games. Pietrangelo - 8 goals, 29 points in 36 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Luongo's value could go up if he plays well here in Vancouver and teams like the Leafs and Panthers, who want to make the playoffs, become desperate for what Lu could bring.
