allkill326 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS receive: G Cory Schneider 2014 2nd Round Pick LW Mason Raymond/LW Jannik Hansen VANCOUVER CANUCKS receive: RW Phil Kessel G James Reimer Vancouver has been having a stellar winning streak with Roberto Luongo returned to his true form as a starting goaltender for Vancouver. It seems to be more necessary to trade Schneider, rather than the highly-praised veteran. Toronto has been having trouble scoring in its first line, as Phil Kessel continues his scoring drough over the course of the start of this season. With the addition of James Van Riemsdyk, Toronto is likely to have a much improved depth in their lineup, the only area of concern being the goaltending. The addition of Schneider in the Leafs lineup provides solid goaltending for the organization that has struggled to enter the postseason for the last decade. Raymond will be able to provide grit and offensive burst to the lineup. The addition of Kessel to the Vancouver lineup can complement a three-line offense of having a sniper(1st line = D. Sedin, 2nd line = R. Kesler, 3rd line = P. Kessel). He can also be a replacement, in case Kesler and/or Booth are/is injured. Reimer is added not only for Toronto's cap dump purposes, but also to complement Vancouver's backup goaltending unit. Although Luongo has been a solid goalie for many years in the Vancouver organization, Luongo is aging(He is currently 33 years old.), and within a few years, he is bound to retire. Reimer may be questionable as a starting goaltender, but can be a reliable backup, until Eddie Lack or another rising goaltender matures and starts playing for the Canucks.

Phil_314 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Kessel on the 3rd? Really? At the least he'd be in the Top 6 but the 1st line's not changing and the 2nd needs a play maker. Booth and Kes don't pass as it is, and Phil's not a natural setup man. Add the fact that Kessel doesn't play physically or defensively (whereas Hansen and Raymond both do) and I don't see how this could work. However, if Booth was going back and Kessel was coming (with another play making forward) that could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Booth and Schneider for Kessel would not be a fair trade. Booth, Schneider, and Hansen can go for Kessel and Bozak, even, and that would be a good enough trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allkill326 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 That's why he said Kessel + a playmaking forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudson bay rules Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I wholeheartedly agree; however, I highly doubt MG would want to trade Luongo at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrChill Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Trading Luongo is as taboo as trading the Sedins, in my opinion, at this stage of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yep, so Kessel and Bozak. Bozak would be a good fit on the third line. Acquiring Reimer is slightly important, because Canucks do need a backup, but we would have to add other pieces. I personally think Kessel would provide depth and offensive skill for the Canucks.

kanucks1 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 2nd line would be good, as well. Hopefully, we get Reimer in return, as well. He can be a good backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
