Rhinogator Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 phaneuf won't fit anywhere in our lineup. he'd be on the 3rd pairing, like ballard with a bigger contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 How can this be true if the NHLPA still hasn't ratified the new CBA or now that the BOG has ratified it does that make it business as usual again? A bit confused by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Ballard will pbbly be traded for back up goalie or pick if Gardiner is part of the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Not sold on Gardiner or Kadri, actually. Good young players, i guess, with Gardiner having offensive upside, but both are softish. Gardiner's currently concussed too. However, we could work with them. Maybe they can get tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 With Nonuts taking over, lest we forget the original trade that brought Luongo here: Roberto Luongo, Lukas Krajicek, 2006 sixth round pick (#163-Sergei Shirokov) for Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan Allen, Alex Auld, 2007 conditional sixth round pick (not exercised) With that in mind, thinking similar structure: Roberto Luongo, Kevin Connauton, Pick for Gunnarson, Reimer, Bozak, Conditional pick? I suppose you could argue Franson or Kadri instead of Gunnarson or Bozak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avicii Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm not sold on Gillis' mentality. Should he really be looking for prospects? Meh, perhaps if he's working on the future of this team. He should really be looking at Grabovski and Weiss. Yeah, they have hefty salaries, but who cares? Not like its gonna hurt any of our wallets. Get either of them.. Sedin Kesler Grabovski/Weiss Lapierre/Malhotra That's a very, very solid group of centers. I'm feeling lazy with the whole cap thing, but i'm pretty sure a 1 for 1 trade would work for both teams in terms of cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangelos Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 No, next year it wouldn't work. Grabovski's $5.5m means bye-bye Edler even if Gillis buys out Ballard's $4.2m because the cap drops from $70m to $64m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I would way rather have Gardiner and Kadri over Grabovski or especially Weiss. Not even close. You are getting to top tier prospects, one at C and one on D. This would be a great deal for Vancouver. And I really like Grabovski. He's a great team mate, plays both ends of ice and is a leader. But Gardiner is a future 1st pairing Dman and Kadri a future 2nd line C and maybe even 1st line C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Grabovski is out of the question, but Weiss has such a sexy contract for a top-6 forward. And Malhotra, Ballard and Raymond probably won't be returning next season so I wouldn't worry too much about cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Weiss is UFA after this season. So you would give up Luongo for a rental?? Not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 And Luongo only has 3 years before he retires, so I would take that chance. Plus Florida would be adding a decent prospect to the deal like Petrovic as collateral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerdraft Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 You would give up Luongo, and the needed cap relief, for Grabovskis albatross of a contract. Part of this deal is to allow the Canucks to have the option of resigning Edler. If the Canucks could get Weiss and Bjugstad - it would be perfect, as it feels an immediate issue and a long term one.
