Blömqvist Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 To Chicago Roberto Luongo To Vancouver Brent Seabrook Everyone knows about this first trade. Chicago could use a goalie, and we could use someone that would play on the ice instead of being on the bench. To Philadelphia Alexander Edler David Booth Zack Kassian 2nd Round Pick To Vancouver Scott Hartnell Wayne Simmonds Sean Couturier Getting Seabrook from the Chicago trade allows us to trade Edler away for some key pieces. Philadelphia, as evidenced by their gigantic offer sheet to Shea Weber and similarly gigantic contract offer to Ryan Suter, are searching for a franchise defenseman. Alexander Edler can fit that bill. With the right team Edler can flourish into one of the league's top defenseman. Philadelphia gets their cornerstone defensive piece and receives some scoring help in the form of Booth and youth in Kassian. Vancouver gets much needed top-6 scoring and toughness in Wayne Simmonds and Scott Hartnell. Moreover, the Canucks add youth to their aging roster with Sean Couturier (albeit by giving up Zack Kassian and a pick to get him). ---------- Daniel - Henrik - Burrows Hartnell - Kesler - Simmonds Higgins - Couturier - Hansen Raymond - Malhotra - Lapierre Hamhuis - Bieksa Garrison - Seabrook Ballard - Tanev Schneider Läck ---------- Conclusion: The Canucks move key marquee players in Luongo and Edler but maintain the defensive strength on the back end, improve their top 6 scoring, gain solid pieces for the future, and overall get bigger and tougher.

susraiders Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I doubt any of those trades would go through, but I like both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I am amazed, a trade that included a really good prospect instead of an underachieving one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Take out Kassian and Hartnell then I think both teams would consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magician Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Neither trade would go through and I doubt us making a trade with Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsasaki Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 No way Chicago accepts. And if you bring back Hartnell from Philly, you gotta reunite the Sedin triplets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeeterHansen Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Seabrooks career would go Ballard-up if he were to come here. One look at the Orca on his chest and he won't be able to get Raffi Torres out of his mind. He would go all Xavier Laflemme on us (Goon reference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
