10Bure14Burrows Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Why not kassian ? He is not first liner , nor second line winger. . Better Gillis trade him with 2013 4th round pick . For Sam gagner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belsy91 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Couldn't say I've always been a Raymond fan but I will admit he's been valuable and one of our more consistent players this year, that said...his trade value is probably the highest it's been since his back injury and moving him for a centre would be something I'm not opposed to.

dorrcoq Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I've never been a Raymond fan, but he has been one of our better players this year. Amazing what he can accomplish when he isn't falling down every 2 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have to admit he's proved me wrong. Resign him if he will take a manageable deal. He looks different this year finally playing with a real playmaker. 27 years old so he's just entering his prime years here. The next 3 or 4 years will probably be his career years. Keep the home grown talent and get rid of Booth Ballard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanYouNuck? Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 So you suggest having a line 1, and lines 3a, 3b, 3c? James Neal, Morrow, Malkin Now thats a second line built for the playoffs....give your head a shake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaBestPlaceOnEarth Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 When Raymond struggled last season due to the extended rehab from his back injury, and then his hand or whatever that was that was bothering him later on, people really ripped on the guy and showed no mercy, I didn't much care for it. What we are seeing this year is the real Mason Raymond, healthy and a very good second-line guy, terrific two-way player, providing that essential secondary scoring. Same as he was before he got hurt, and as I cast my mind back, I recall that, at least to my eye, he was our most effective forward in the Finals against Boston before he got hurt. If he can be fit in under the low cap next season, he is definitely a keeper. If not, it would be a big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 if Gillis can pull off a Luongo + Raymond deal I think we have to do it. Raymond has always been streaky and if this is the chance to get a tougher 2nd line winger back we have to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raffi Torres's Smirk Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I want the Speed line to keep it up in the playoffs so badly. They'd be a lock for our third line (once everyone's healthy), which would FINALLY give some stability to our lineup. As much as I love Higgins and want him to stay, I think him and Booth are our only forwards that are taking up spots that could be better filled by someone else.

John.Tallhouse Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 No but his season to date may play a big part in his future. He was drafted and sculpted by the Canuck franchise, I believe with the season he is having if he wants to stay, he will stay. He will be a cheaper option going forward than Booth, more offensive flair than Higgins, and not a defenseman fill in like Ballard. He has produced better than I think anyone one CDC could have hoped for and has build chemistry with another player that will hopefully be here long term (Hansen). I say keep him and Hansen and sign them to deals closer to 3M each moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaSmAn15 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 hi canuckers, im a first time poster, long time follower of this site, n been a canucks fan win or loose since '93, personally i think we should work out a trade with the capitals, as much as i like the way raymond has brought his A game back this season, i think if we can get Mike Ribeiro and Mike Green, both long term for raymond, ballard and a draft pick / prospect, that would fill in the huge lack of offence that the canucks are still missing, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffi Torres's Smirk Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 How is Booth taking up a spot? He is injured... therefore not taking a spot from anyone. Another ignorant POST... thats 2 now, I'll keep track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
