Xur Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Statistically speaking, we have to have at least one playoff run where the opposition goalies choke more then our own. And yes our forwards need to score, blah blah blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 ^ Backstrom isn't the type of player I want. We need more bull in china shop type players. Plus his cap hit is too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I disagree. Backstrom could be exactly the type of guy the Canucks need. He wouldn't be the only piece as we do need some more jam too, I don't disagree with that. Backstrom could compliment the Canucks a lot, assuming he is healthy, and could be the vital linchpin on the 2nd PP unit to make it explosive. He has the ability to make players around him better and more productive. It's true he has a big cap hit but it the trade was something like the following it could make a big improvement to the team. (It's not a serious proposal) To Was: Luongo, Ballard, Booth, 1st = $13.8 mil To Van: Carlson, Backstrom, Brouwer = $13.4 mil Sedin-Sedin-Burr Higgins-Backstrom-Brouwer Raymond-Kesler-Schroeder Kassian-Lappy-Hansen Hamhius-Bieksa Edler-Carlson Garrison-Tanev Schneider Wolski-Ribiero-OV Booth-Laich-Ward Chimera-Johansson-Fehr Crabb/Beagle/Hendricks/Perrault Alzner-Green Ballard-Poti Schultz/Erskine-Hamrlik Luongo Holtby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Schneider + booth/Ray + hamhuis For Neuvy + poti/hamrlik(both Ufa) + backstrom. I would prefer to keep raymond Backstrom can center ... move kes to wing... he would do wonders with bwckstrom feeding him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 To Vancouver: Marcus Johansson, Dmitry Orlov, Aaron Volpatti, Micheal Neuvirth, 2nd To Washington: Roberto Luongo, Kevin Connaution, Andrew Ebbett, Guilluame Desbiens, 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubrick Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 After all this dicking around with Schneider, he's obviously not stoked on the way its been handled. What if we trade Luongo, and then Schneider chooses to entertain free agency and some other team makes a ridiculous offer he cant refuse. Then we'd be looking really silly for trading Luongo and then losing Schneider. More than silly, we'd be effed completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 That's more fair than my proposal but I'm not sold on trading Lu or Cory in a package that we don't get back a proven star. I'm all for young talent, but our cup window is closing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 We can let it close completely or we can add young talent and sustain it longer. Plus adding a star now (which isn't as realistic or likely as people would like to think it is) would then destroy us next year. Like we would become Chicago after they won the cup, and any chance at a cup is them completely gone, atleast this way with young players, we keep our depth and our star power. And those players can help out now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 We would become Chicago after they won the cup, I never said we would follow suit with the prior success, under AV I bet we would sacrifice it all for one spot, then we would choke.

Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 just trade one already this is getting ridiculous. Bring in a #2C and a prospect and demote Kes to the third until he learns to do the things that made him successful to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Schneider to NYI for Streit, Neidereitter, and Nielson at the deadline. Solves our need for a puck mover to get our powerplay going. A stud prospect for the future. And a third line center play maker that gives us three solid scoring lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italia2006 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I find some of these trade proposals comical. Lets not forget the Capitals traded Varlamovs rights (he was a rfa) for a top 10 1st round pick and a 2nd rounder. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Schneider a much better goalie than Varlamov with a lot more potential and under contract for 3 years? I think the Flyers will be the most aggresive team to get one of our goalies. They have lots of size in Hartnell, Voracek and Simmonds. I would think one of them could be involved with a young centre and a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 would that really be so bad? they won it in 2010, still made the playoffs in 2011 after losing alot of their depth and almost took us out as the 8th seed, made the playoffs again last year but ran into a red hot Mike Smith, and are currently the #1 team in the league this year. I'd take that along with the cup win prior to all of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
