Mookie Wilson Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Booth didn't play away from other teams best checkers playing on our second line. Sure the Sedins see the best but Kesler doesn't get much of a break there either bud. Its more the system. Its plain as day to anyone who's played hockey, that FLA players come from a much less restrictive system. I think we now have what, 3 examples of players who have put up decent numbers in FLA only to come here and have challenges both offensively and defensively. Booth, Ballard, Garrison. All overpaid, all from FLA, all don't seem able to match their offensive output and all having challenges in our own end. When its 3 for 3 usually there is some causality there, don't need a masters in research methods to figure that one out. SO! That means, if you move him to a more open system or at least less restrictive defensively (and I don't think anyone here who's watched a Canucks game doesn't know what happens when you don't play D first for AV - end up in the press box and dog house) , there is a better chance he will revert back to that 30 goal player. Therefore he's worth the risk. Now if its a cap dump well sure they won't want him. But if its just that they are paying a 3rd liner too much and would rather pay a 2nd liner that much its a very different issue and plausible.

86Viking Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Teams will be interested in him for sure. Especially someone looking for grit down the middle for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzam Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 They will probably be looking for NHL ready prospect + pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 If Cbj was to think that Booth could score 30 for them, he's probably have to score ONE for us. That '30-goal' Booth might've worked on us, but that time is long gone now, champ. If he was still here, then there would be no way we'd trade him away for Dubinsky.

TOMapleLaughs Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 They've had interest in Schneider. But that was before Bobrovsky started being good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 So the article says Cbj can't afford Dubinsky and the first suggestion is that we give them Booth? Typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsedin33 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 They are rebuilding right now, I think a 1st round pick is minimum, trying to recuperate what they perceived to be fleeced from in the Nash trade. First round pick plus top 9 prospect/player is what it will cost imo. Also, Booth's value is nothing right now, Ballard's Value is also pretty much nothing. Between the two they have a grand total of 2 points on the season, and for 8.4 on the cap. Good luck getting a 4th round pick for these guys.

thad Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 He would be a great addition but I'm not sure what we could give up for him. Booth? The concerns have been made in other posts but they might be more inclined to having him on their team than you think.. He's still a really good player that looks like he's about to go in beast mode once he gets his first goal. I'm almost not sure I want to trade him but getting a centre right now would make alot of sense. He would be a great addition to their hard working team. They need more talent and he brings just that. If he's in a first line role next year I have no doubt if healthy he could score 30. I think it makes sense for both teams but they might get a better deadline offer from another team. They probably want someone who will be an RFA not ufa since they are in rebuild.

86Viking Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 K throw in Aucoin and a 6th rd pick going back to CBJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockNroLLa. Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 If we can hold on to Raymond we should. I m sure we could make a trade around Shredder and a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyFox Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 He would be a solid pick up and would strengthen our depth at Centet greatly. I could maybe seeing it be booth plus medicore prospect and a mid level pick. Helps get rid of booth dead cap hit what does he even bring to the table?

DownUndaCanuck Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Give them Schroeder and a 1st or 2nd round pick for Dubisnky. Picks are extremely valuable, especially later in the season and for a team that's rebuilding. Gagne was had for a 4th rounder. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Higgins Raymond - Dubisnky - Hansen Weise - Lapierre - Kassian That's a playoff-ready lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride the red Pony Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I don't think that bringing in a guy @ 4.2 that can play in the middle on the second or third lines is a reach, plus he brings some much needed toughness and can also play the wing. I think if MG can get this done that there will be other deals to follow to straighten out our cap. I think that once an initial deal is done, that the rest of the pieces will fall into place as far as where we're going with this lineup. I think that the first deal will be the big one, and a couple of smaller ones to follow, would love it if Dubinsky were the so-called big one. Would really love to see Clarkson end up here somehow as well, as he is a FA at the end of the season, I think we may be able to pry him out of NJ.

The Kessing Booth line Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 whats the new proposal you have? also dont mind if we try for brassard or dubinsky. brassard is more of a playmaker, dubinsky is size and grit. we could use either for the 2/3rd line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
