whitegreen'nblue Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thought about it, and like the idea. Have him on the fourth line with lappy and hansen. That would be annoying to play against.

Salo'sBomb Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm all for it. He hits like an absolute truck, he fights, he can chip in with clutch goals, and he's widely hated around the league so the Canucks will get even more haters which is great. And hey, maybe he can tune Duncan Keith too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossram Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 This subject seemed to get a decent discussion going in the Luongo thread so I figured it would be a good idea to start a new thread on it. I think many of us agree that not re-signing Torres was a bad idea since Raffi brought a whole new element to our third line. So what do you think it would take to get him back? I proposed Ballard for Torres but that didn't seem to get a good vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Swansons Moustache Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I loved Torres on this team but that ship has sailed. That player might not even exist anymore, he's coming off a 25 game suspension. Torres said he has to change his game and he almost had the book throw at him. One questionable hit and hes gone, you think Gillis wants that distraction? Id love a player similar to him on the team though. Who else would be available though?

Bure fan Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 That is essentially having our 2011 playoff 3rd line as our fourth line, a very attractive thought. Make a trade for Brouwer/ward 3rd line rw and I like it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I agree with what others have said, we have way too many Bottom 6 forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I like Torres but I don't miss his stupid penalties. I'd rather make a deal for a centre or sign Gilbert Brule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilya Mikheyev Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Not a bad idea, but with the way Volpatti has been playing, it seems unfair that he should be replaced. If he starts to slip though, a replacement, more proven 4th line winger, like Torres should be looked into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayStation Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Mike Gillis is an idiot for letting him go, I wanted him to stay so bad, but since he wasnt resigned, Gillis would look like an idiot to trade for him again.

Ron Swansons Moustache Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Say Gillis does reacquires Torres then he has a questionable hit and is suspended again or he's only a shadow of himself, afraid of playing a physical game. Torres is under the microscope by the NHL now. This is his last chance. Too many question marks for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
