RockNroLLa. Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Actually, I'd think that Malhotra would fit the bill as a playoff rental kind of guy, and I wouldn't be surprised to see another team which thinks it can go deep in the playoffs paying to get him, assuming the Canucks decided to move him. There are a number of teams which are well below the cap ceiling, who are looking like they will make the playoffs. They could absorb Malhotra's contract easily. regards, G.

allkill326 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 What would we get in return? a 3rd which we ll keep and throw our own third into the Lu deal to sweeten it a bit to get Bjugstad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockNroLLa. Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Bjugstad is too young and not skilled enough. It would be a risk to trade for Bjugstad. I would try aiming for Kessel, if he continues to play unproductively. We may be able to use him for 2nd or 3rd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allkill326 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Honestly I think he would be a good fit as well, we need to add offense, he would instantly have one of the best shots on this team. But we could also add some size and prospects of the blue chip variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 For sure... What can we get from TO for sure? What can we get from Florida for sure? etc, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockNroLLa. Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The thing is, with Luongo having a spectacular start to the season, his value will definitely appreciate. I would think he can be traded for much more than a guy such as Bjugstad and an average pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockNroLLa. Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The most honest answer to your question(s) is: who knows? I haven't heard any GM say that he offered a particular package. We have heard a lot of supposition and rumor. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmanVan Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 My best guess is that we are seeking a big and tough young blueliner, a big 3rd line centre and a back-up goalie. If he cam squeeze a pick too he'll take it, of course. Something like Matthias, Ellerby, Clemmensen and a 2nd for Lou and another smallish piece.If it differs much more than this in shape and player molds I'll be pretty surprised but, on the other hand, MG has always surprised me before.

oldnews Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 If the Canucks are going after Matthias and Ellerby I still think they should target a player with a higher ceiling. Matthias fills a roll on the third line, and Ellerby adds depth on D, but they dont offer much more than that going forward. Even if Bjugstad and Gudbranson are off the table Drew Shore, Alex Petrovic, or Quinton Howden would be a nice piece to add in. Matthias, Ellerby, and Shore/Petrovic/Howden looks a lot better to me than Matthias, Ellerby, Clemmensen, and a second. We could figure out the back up roll in a seperate trade.

RockNroLLa. Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 However, since we don't know each other and your situation is an unknown, what choice would we have except to slot anything you say as more rumor? regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockNroLLa. Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 With a bit more toughness/grits on up front and on D, I think Lu can bring us back to round 4 SCF for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic Innovator Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 After 2.6 million posts of Luongo has no value and should be traded for warm pooh and a roll of sock tape or Luongo is the greatest and should be traded for Crosby, Malkin, Letang and a 1st... What is the consensus on the Canucks actual needs? A backup is a must. A very good prospect, probably a first line center with size is needed. A player that can contribute right now has to be included. Given the present lineup when healthy GMMG is looking for a very solid big body, gritty forward, a top center prospect and back up goalie. Respectfully, I do not believe the Canucks are looking at defensemen, impending UFA's, average small body forwards or any other spare parts.

Gollumpus Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 you could slot it as complete BS (and rightfully so). however do you think we could get a top 6 and a great prospect for Lu? or Lu +? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
