GB5 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 We have to be getting close to our 50 contract limit. We only have, what, 3 sliding contracts? I think this puts us at 51 contracts - 3 sliding = 48, not leaving us much wiggle room until the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc009 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Instead of going after tall guys we should go after guys who actually have some skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 no ... it's not ... which is one of the reasons that goal was lucky. i'd bet the farm that 9 times out of 10 that puck hits the crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Canucks draft skill players like Schroeder, Hodgson OMG CANUCKS NEED MORE GRIT WE'RE SO SOFT AND SMALL Canucks sign tough players like Lain, trade for players like Kassian OMG CANUCKS NEED MORE SKILL EVERYONE HAS HANDS OF STONE I don't understand CDC, like, ever.

N4ZZY Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Dekeyser isn't coming to Van. He's going to Detroit. And Detroit can give him playing time too. Lain's not going to be a top 6 player. Bottom 6 for sure. Most likely a fourth line centre. If he ends up being a third line player, that's fantastic, though, I don't see it happening.

Squeak Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 We need Sustr more IMO, but I'd be happy with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Neither was Chara when he first broke into the NHL with the Islanders...he didn't start playing physical until 3-4 seasons into his NHL career. The only big, talented guys that I can recall stepping into the NHL and being a dominant physical force immediately are Scott Stevens, Chris Pronger and to some degree Luc Phaneuf. As we all know, love them of hate them, Stevens and Pronger were very special players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 We have tonnes of contract spots for next season - and will likely be letting some of underwhelming prospects walk (Rai, Sauve etc.) --- so might as well sign them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Which is exactly what makes it impressive. You don't think any skilled goal scored in the NHL doesn't need a little luck? Even some of the best goals ever needed some help from the defenders and the goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 There's no way we let Sauve walk. He hasn't lived up to his 2nd round selection but he's far from a write off. Guys like Rai, Tochkin, Honzik, Anthony, Schneider, Desbiens, Mullen, and Joslin will all be taken off the books before Sauve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaSwede Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Laganiere is very intriguing. Sustr I am not entirely sold on yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 it's why I differentiate between beautiful skilled goals and fun-to-watch fluky goals. for example, if i remember correctly, in 2010 the "goal of the year" competition came down to the sedins' goal against calgary, and a goal where stamkos batted in his own rebound out of mid-air while falling. you're a smart enough guy to figure out how i'd classify each of those goals, and needless to say i think the right one won.

canuck_trevor16 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It hard to say whether Sustr or Lagainere who we need more...........both will address our need of a big defenseman and a big top 6 center? If we could only get one probably go after Sustr is more likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Closest NHL comparable is probably Tyler Myers. Most people will immediately think Chara, but Sustr apparently doesn't play with much of an edge. He uses his positioning and hockey sense rather than his body. Hopefully that can change once he packs on some more pounds. He seems a little light fr 6'8" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
