Ossi Vaananen Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 You cant justify having Raymond in our top 6, when it already consists of the Sedins and Burrows. It's just too damn soft, that 2nd line LW/RW spot should be filled by someone who can bring some physicality (I'm thinking Clarkson). The Canucks are in a cap crunch now anyway, as well Edler and Burrows' new contracts are aboout to kick in. It's going to be tight already, no sense in overpaying for Raymond who will likely play the UFA card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The ship has sailed on Raymond. Fast guys with mediocre hands are a dime a dozen. Let some other team deal with his inconsistent, stay on the perimeter game. I'm sure Jay Feaster is begging for him to be a FA come July 1st.

zoner. Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Raymond will probably cash in for $3M on a weaker team where he can fit into the top six/nine. I could see Winnipeg being an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I think he's gone. You have to remember Canucks have cap problems they can't just keep everyone especially when they want to make changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van_ws Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 He better be gone... useless hockey player. Playing in the KHL or Europe will be best for his soft, perimeter style of play. Canucks would take another step back if they keep him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksSayEh Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hopefully he stays. The "soft perimeter" accusations are flowing in from the previous year. Has been one of our better forwards in the last 3 series and is miles ahead of Higgins. Expect he will end up with a new team though, new kid, aint a kid himself no more and should look to cash in with what he can. Probably pump out 20-25 goals for the next few years.
