Smashian Kassian Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If WSH keeps losing, they'll be the ones IMO most in need of a elite goalie like Lou because they are a team that are expected by their fans to make the conference finals, at the very least. I don't think this means VAN robs the bank though in a deal. WSH will be highly motivated though to get a fair deal done. I say: Troy Brouwer Neuvirth 1st round pick OR Troy Brouwer Prospect Draft picks but not WSH's 1st MAYBE a another draft pick thrown in there. That would be a fair deal, IMO.

Angry Goose Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Johansson and Nuevirth. How about that instead, I would rather have that then Brouwer and the 1st + possible other picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 i wouldnt be stuck on bjugstad, I really do like the kind of player drew shore is. And hes getting some games in the nhl aswell. If we could get weiss, shore and petrovic id be very interested. It would take luo plus some more but that helps us now and gives us a solid forward and defense man prospect aswell but i also think we need a goalie back, maybe we get clemmenson and then florida trades theodore to be a number 1 on a different team if they got luo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If WSH is willing to part with their top prospect that would be great. Great piece for the future. Neuvirth would be an ample back up. Although the Canucks seem to need a top 6 winger if the cup this year is the goal. Raymond won't cut it. I'm curious though about a healthly Kesler/Booth/+ Schroeder to set them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckbeliever Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I was told a couple of days ago by somebody who is in the hockey world that the Canucks had been offered TJ Gaglardi plus from the Sharks for Luongo. Gaglardi does have an NTC (San Jose gives them away like they are free candy) Take this for what it is worth, I know theres a lot of garbage rumors that get spewed around here so I get why yall would not believe me but all I will say is I am not the type of person to start random rumors and I would not say something unless I was told it by somebody who I trust and is in the know.

Smashian Kassian Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Bjugstad would sure by nice, but they aren't giving him up, I am interested to look into Shore, but I think we have to shoot for Weiss, other wise I don't know what else they have as a main piece. I do want Petrovic in the deal though, I really like what he could bring.

Trebreh Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Really my argument is gone right? Well lets see how banged up was Ryan Kesler at the end of the playoffs, when he was relied on twice as much as he would have in defensive situations, on the PK and taking important faceoffs, whereas if we had Manny that workload would have been cut in half, leaving him healthier and better for our offense, that's the whole reason we brought manny in, to cut back Kesler's defensive workload, and when Manny went down, Kesler's defensive workload doubled and it wore him down and made him ineffective when we needed him the most. And he is the straw that stirs the drink for this club. And Heck even Henrik, he ended up injured too, you think if he wasn't relied on for as many defensive zone starts (since he is the only left handed player that could be relied on to take a faceoff with Manny gone) that he wouldn't have been as hurt? Think about it? Without Manny, when you need a left hander to take a draw in a critical defensive situation, who are going to call on? Alex Bolduc? Andrew Ebbett? Slide Higgins or Raymond over? These things all wear down and in a trickle down effect it made us worse offensively. All that aside, in a way you side stepped my point, for a 4th line center who is a specialist in this case and plays a very important role for this club, why would you just let that go for a guy who isn't nearly as effective in that role, leaving your stars to take that over and it wears them down, and in this season it will be even worse, as injuries are a much bigger component. We have already seen it. If Manny is healthy he will be a big part of our team. And our 4th line that year was a revolving door, that consisted of many players who played on that line: Glass, Volpatti, Bolduc, Tambellini, Desbiens, Orescovick, Hodgson, Malhotra, Higgins, Schaefer, Rypien, Joel Perreault, even Mario Bliznak played on the line, it was a relovling door that had no chemistry, I'm surprised the custodian didn't get a shot. That line was a non-factor for most of the year and playoffs, Now we have a solid 4th line and it will be a great advantage. And even in 3 games, he has been great in that role, heck last game what was his faceoff percentage? 70-80%? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Smashian Kassian Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Kesler was fine till game 2 of the SCF..... Im not sure how Malhotra being healthy taking defensive faceoffs could have prevented Boychuck from hitting Kesler's hips. AV would've still played Kesler against the other teams top lines and take key defensive faceoffs over a healthy Malhotra anyway. Henrik was banged up because he faced off against Chara, Weber , Keith and Seabrook... again I dont know how taking defensive faceoffs got Kesler and Henrik banged up... You're trying to find reasons on why our top players got injured and linking it to Malhotra's god like defensive skills. In the new NHL you cant have one dimensional players, Malhotra is a one dimesional player. If he's so valuable and a key component to a cup contender, where is the 2.5m faceoff specialist in Pittsburg,Philly,Det,SJ,STL?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodycanuckleheads Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 The Galiardi rumour sounds about right. It's insane how much people around here think we're going to get for Lu (phenomenal young players, top-shelf prospects and potential lottery picks - and not just one, but multiples of those). Ha!...

Trebreh Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Actually you are off base on both your recolections, Kesler was injured before the SCF even started, Henrik, who knows when he was hurt? Im sure having to play in key situations, and taking the abuse that goes along with it didn't help matters, don't you? I think you are forgetting what Manny was to this team, his acquisition was as a shutdown 3rd line center, who was a specialist in faceoffs and PK. And brought in to take more defense zone situations and PK minutes, important faceoffs, exc. Away from Kesler. Kesler wouldn't have been used over Manny, Manny would have cut into his time, greatly reducing his wear and tear and our need for him defensively, leaving him able to focus on offense, it's not hard to connect the dots when you consider the dynamics & the circumstances of the situation. And yes there are one dimensional players & there is a place for them in todays game, Hello Erik Karlsson won the Norris last year. By your logic Weber easily would have won it. Aside from that, Alex Semin was able to get a nice 7 Million dollar deal, hes a one dimensional player. Jay McClement just got a nice contract from Toronto to play a similar role for them that Manny did for us, & if you consider manny a one diemsional player, then he certainly is. Where are there 2.5 Million dollar faceoff specialist? Not a fair way to judge as there are circumstances there, Manny healthy brings alot more than this manny, but anyways I'll go with it. Maxime Talbot got a pretty nice deal, he is getting paid 2.25 this season and next year, aswell as 2 Million the year after till it dips to bring the cap hit down to 1.75. Brandon Sutter is in that role for Pittsburgh, yes he bring more demensions you might say but his role with that team might not allow him to use those to other dimensions too there full potential and that leaves him in the same role a healthy Manny's was in 10/11, and he makes north of 2 Million. Detriots defensive specialst Darren Helm makes north of 2 Million, and even Patrick Eaves makes north of 1 Million. The Sharks have a few guys, Adam Burish makes 1.8 Million, he's not there for his offense and Martin Hanzus's cap hit is 2.5. The Blues defensive forwards, Jamie Langenbrunner and Vladimir Sobotka (who I love) both make nice wages, Langenbrunner at a CH of 1.8 and Sobotka's CH is 1.3. Look at LA, Jarret Stoll who plays the exact same role a healthy Manny played for us makes 3.25 Million. The Oilers Eric Belanger makes 1.75, The Bruins Chris Kelly makes 3 Million, Greg Campbell makes 1.6. Matthew Lombardi makes 2 Million, Daymond Langkow made around 2 Milll last year, Boyd Gordon makes 1.3 Vernon Fiddler makes 1.8 Do you want me to continue? There are many comparables. Even then this is all beside my original point, who would you rather have in that 4th line center spot on this team? Manny or Perreault, once again to me the choice seems obvious.

Merci Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I think Florida is the team we trade with on the fact alone Tor and any other potential team have nothing to bargain with. Gudbranson Bjustad Upshall Theodore at least some form of package deal with Florida once again makes a shred of sense. If they keep getting lit up I bet they're willing to give up one prospect and a backup goalie/upshall for Luongo + Raymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALTtimegreat Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 a 3 way trade could be on the horizon: To philly: Luongo, (ballard) To Wash: Bryzgalov, philly late pick To Van: Brouwer, Neuvirth, philly 1st, Read Is what 'm hearing. Waiting on Bryz to commit to Wash. Luongo might waive to philly than wash. 3 way is likely since both philly and wash are unwilling to give big assets alone back to van.

Boudrias Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Kassian and Schroeder have not proven anything yet other than nice starts. No way MG would base a Lui trade on an extrapolation of their performance to date. My read on current trade partners; TO: not in the mix, no matchs Wash: Bigger concern there is what is Ovy's problem. Play continues to deteriorate. Lui would help but Oates is probably still assessing his team. Philly: shown that they will make big deals. How to get rid of Brys? Florida; What is Tallon's time line. Will he give up young talent when his core will not be ready for a serious push for 2 - 3 years? The big read from the first week of play is RECORD attendance. All those prophets of doom during the lockout have to shake their heads. If things hold as is the likelyhood of a CAP reduction over an above the sscheduled adjustment is not likely. Dare I suggest that the CAP might even increase over an above the projected rate? All this will/should impact how GM's look at possible trades.

sampy Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 No thanks to Brouwer. He's a good hockey but the Canucks have enough 2way players, they need a young offensive dynamo like Johan or Forsberg. If the Capitals lose through the weekend, hopefully they'll pull the trigger. Forsberg, Neuvirth For Lu, Sauve, Sweatt, 3rd Canucks need young blue chip prospects, the cupboards are bare. Management can't just think of now.
