ronsmith Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Igninla is brutal in his own end. Not the kind of player , the canucks need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanNuck Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 With the way Iginla has been playing, Kassian is just as likely to get us a cup. And if we trade Kassian for Iginla, and Iginla doesn't bring us a cup (which is the far more likely scenerio) then we are major losers. And it is a one of the worst trades in franchise history. And no to trade Iginla here they are looking for key futures, that is what they are looking for from alot of teams but from us they would be looking for our very best.

Smashian Kassian Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 No, just deal Ballard and Higgins for Iginla + conditional second rounder. You'll still have Kassian. Kass has the all-round ability, but he doesn't have Iginla's experience, leadership, or clutch ability. When Iggy goes into a big game, he transforms into a different player and can pot big numbers, as well as be a physical force. And he's not too bad in his own end - AV can help work on that aspect. All I can say is, this is Vancouver's best chance not to miss out on the Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanNuck Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 It would cost us more than that. Again for them to trade us Iginla, Kassian would have to be in the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 For a player with only months left? That would be overpayment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It's Iginla yes, but get real, even Feaster knows you can't expect a big price for someone with just months on his contract. Besides, they want Iginla to win as much as anyone else - but they know it won't be in Calgary. They could try Chicago or San Jose, although I don't see either of them making the deal when they already have Cup-winners and experienced vets.

MJDDawg Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I have my doubts that it'll happen. Iginla and the Flames organization have both publicly stated that they are happy with the current situation. If he was traded I doubt that it would be to Vancouver since they're NW Division Rivals. Iginla is a really classy hockey player. He is by far my favorite non-Canuck. I'd love to see him in a Canucks sweater playing with the twins. Talk about instant domination with the twins passing skills and Iginla's prowess and ability to finish. He is also super motivated in the playoff's could be the spark that this team needs to push them over the edge. Trevor Lindens last game. Fast forward to 4:40 to see Iginla's classy move, he also potted his 50th goal of the season in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcr1970 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Jarome for Booth or Raymond is the absolute most I would pay .. he is almost ineffective, does little work and feeds off his linemates getting him the puck .. when they do not feed him, he does not score .. like so far this season ..

Smashian Kassian Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I don't know what you see in Kassian (are you a relative?) but I don't see it. I would trade him for Iginla in a heartbeat and even toss in something else. Kassian has 1 pt. in the last 4 games. How many games since he scored a goal? I saw the results from the Canucks Skills contest.............Kassian finished last of the speed skaters who raced, he lost the 1 on 1 puck relay to Schroeder, he went 0 for 2 on his breakaways and went 1 for 8 in the accuracy shooting competition (something tells me it must have been a lower target he hit). This guy is Anson Carter 2.0..............and that might be an insult to Anson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcr1970 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 So which part of my post to you disagree with? I'm curious as I think its all factual, except for my opinion of him being Anson Carter 2.0. I'll go check status, but I believe Anson likely had a much higher goals / game average.

vcr1970 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Here are Anson's stats for the year he played: 2005-06 Vancouver NHL 81 33 22 55 -1 15 10 0 0 7 41 146 22.60 On his pace, that would be 20 goals in a 48 game season. Kassian won't come close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
