mcgillnuck Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I like the Ribeiro idea. He's got decent playoff numbers too. Sedin-Sedin-Kassian Burrows-Ribeiro-Kesler Booth-Schroeder-Raymond Higgins-Lappy-Hansen That's a dangerous group. Not sure if we can fit him under the cap at the deadline though. Maybe if Booth isn't working out we can make a swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgillnuck Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 But I'm not a fan of Ribeiro. He was known as a dressing room cancer in Montreal. Then he was traded away from Dallas despite being productive there, and replaced with the enigmatic Derek Roy, who has pretty much the same contract as Ribeiro. EDIT: and they paid a higher price for Roy than Ribeiro returned, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sorry to be such a downer but I've just seen this soap opera play out too many times. The Canucks are a business and ownership seems like they would rather have a year to year "hope" of winning vs. going all in for a year or two and be put into a rebuilding situation after that. I can understand that decision but I can also understand why that would drive a fan nuts. When's the last time the Canucks acquired something significant at the trade deadline? We always pick up depth players for mid round draft picks and that's about it. There are some big name free agents available this year that could be acquired for the right price. But if you're only willing to give up 2nd round draft picks, Raymond, Ballard, Alberts, Vollpatti, etc., you're going to get another team's Raymond, Ballard, etc. back. Iginla is out there and available. The Canucks can get him if the price is right............but they won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mookie Wilson Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The last thing the Canucks need is another tantrum throwing tool on the ice in Ribeiro, every reff in the league is just waiting to toss him for his crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franz Liszt Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 My 4 players: Raffi Torres and Kyle Chipchura from Phoenix. Chuck Kobasew and Ryan O'Byrne from Colorado. Sedin Sedin Burrows Booth Kesler Kassian Higgins Schroeder Hansen Raymond Lapierre/Chipchura Torres/Kobasew Hamhuis Edler Garrison Bieksa Ballard Tanev/O'Byrne Alberts, Barker Luongo & Schneider EXPLANATION: During the 2011 Cup Run, we had players who were healthy scratches like Tambellini, Hodgson and Samuelsson or a game or two. They were held of the lineup for players like Glass, Bolduc and Oreskovich. Those guys brought only a toughness element to the table I felt. If we load up on strength, size with some skill on our bottom-6, we'd be unstoppable. Raffi Torres: Brings size, hitting, forecheck, fighting ability and some scoring touch. He is 6'0 225 Chuck Kobasew: Brings a similar type of game like Torres, with less size and fighting. He is 6'0 195 Kyle Chipchura: A center who will drop the gloves and forecheck. Career face-off % is just over 50%. He is 6'2 209 Ryan O'Byrne: Loves to hit, isn't slow, but isn't super fast either. Has a huge shot, but doesn't use it often. He is 6'5 234 Here's hoping.

Patrick Jane Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Torres is one of those players that can help a team and destroy a teams chance in the playoffs with his 5 min pentalies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Well i like Lappy as a fourth line center and Schroeder looks good on the third. I wouldn't mind potentially trading Higgens+ for a legitimate top 6 forward but we all know how hard they are to find. Probably nothing will happen. There won't be another Coho incident.
