I don't get the point of having this guy on the team it seems like he is out of touch .......before you say oh he just got back give him time how much time does he need to adjust to the System last years playoffs when it really matters he was a -1 in 5 games against the kings so bottom line I don't see the point in having booth on the team hes another kesler why do we need two players like this darn it gillis get a sniper! ...............

Erik Karlsson Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 He was one of our best forwards tonight and just returned from an injury? Edit: and he passes more then Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonfruits Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 not sure what we could get for him coming back from injury and even before his injury wasn't playing the greatest the problem i see though is we have ballard and booth with 4 million plus contracts that we all know can't be here next year with the cap going down you know both of them are on the way out im wondering if gillis will move them both at the trade deadline or off season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Sami Salo had 0 points and was a -3 in the same 5 games against the Kings. I'm sure glad we dumped that bum when he was clearly worse than Booth (who had an assist and was only a -1, much better!)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksSayEh Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Booth was legit in the playoffs. The only time he looked off was when he was paired with the twins. He's gonna be a guy to lean on come this years tourny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bissurnette Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 wtf is it with people ragging on booth? He's playing his heart out every shift and getting sh*t done. What do you want from the guy? He's a great guy and you can obviously tell from all the interviews. He's always got a smile on his face in the locker room and you can tell that everybody loves having him around. He skates with speed, and always looks dangerous when he's flying down the wing. He also stands up for teammates when need be and lately he's been throwing his weight around like a translink bus. If everybody shows as much heart as he does game in and game out we'd be on top of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curtman81 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 This post is exactly why I watch more Canucks tv,and avoid the forum. What the heck kind of crap thread is this?lol Why don't you throw the rest of the team under the bus while your at it. Ffs,2 games after injury,and Booth played good tonight. Disgusting lack of faith thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Pretty unfair post at this point (almost bandwagonish)....The guys coming off an injury,he's even admitted that he's still not up to speed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollumpus Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Booth is quite a good player, and I am looking forward to him providing a lot of offense this season. I do not see him getting traded any time soon. This being said he, and some of the other forwards, are candidates to be traded. Because of his $4+ million contract, Booth is a valid target. If he could be moved in a package which returned a younger, cheaper and potentially as talented player, wouldn't you move Booth? Other forwards could also be moved. For example, Higgins and Raymond will be UFA's next season. While I like both of these guys and I believe they will be usefull to have in the playoffs, if the right circumstances came along I would move them. I would stress that the trade would have to help the team in a way that these guys do not. Perhaps they would be moved to add depth to the center or defense. I don't see it as wanting them gone as much as assessing what kind of assets could they return here which could help the team in the playoffs. regards, G.

Crabcakes Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 What's wrong with Booth? Last year he was just hitting his stride when he got hurt. AV is still easing him in and after 2 games played he looks just fine. Thank God the Canucks GM is well measured and isn't an impulsive "Quick Draw McGraw". Personally, I consider Booth to be a yardstick with respect to a possible goaltender trade. He'll be a reliable 20+ goal man who creates space and grief for the opposition with his speed. In other words, he's a keeper. In my opinion, this year, if a goaltender trade represents and uprgrade on Booth, then it is worth the trade. Otherwise, stand pat (given the mature behavior of Lou & Sn). Do other people think that the Canucks, as they are now, have more to give than they showed against the Hawks? I do. What is the liklihood of getting a player for Louie or Schneids who has more impact than Booth? The team who is rolling along at around the 42 - 48 game mark, and in the playoff picture, is the team that looks good for the cup. They won game 16 tonight......so far so good.
