missioncanucksfan Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 After shaftin them a few years ago with White and Rahimi for Ehrhoff..... Im sure we might be expected to offer something decent. That being said, a half injured Clowe is not worth a 1st plus prospect... 3rd plus Connaughton is the max I would pay for him. Again, he is injured and might be a moot point during 2nd/3rd round of playoffs if we make it that far. Pick can be conditional 2nd if he does re-sign with us..... But at what price is that?

Kumquats Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I don't want that moron on my team. He isn't even worth a 7th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Clowe imo is a redundant piece here. Who's spot is he going to take? Daniel Booth Higgins Obvious answer is Booth. But is Clowe actually better than Booth? Higgins imo is not only better than Clowe, but brings a whole lot of intelligence, versatility, and work ethic to this team while being a far better cap value. Unlike most people here, I'd rather have Booth and wouldn't deal him 1 for 1 for Clowe. Booth has struggled a bit to score here (which I think is generally quite overstated - 16 goals in 56 games last year with a knee injury and a patchy 2nd line), while this year he played with Lapierre and an injured Kesler in his time here - despite that, Booth has consistently better underlying numbers than Clowe, who plays with some pretty high-end talent, primarily centered by Couture and Marleau/Pavelski. Booth is judged too quickly imo for not producing enough goals in his intermittent stretches here - he drives possession and territory better than Clowe - and aside from that, over the course of his career has scored more goals (for the low scoring Panthers), hits as frequently as Clowe does (a bit smaller but plays a power game), is a much better skater, and imo is an under-rated two-way/defensive player. Booth carries his weight the length of the ice. He's also already signed at a comparable cap hit, and cost us a pair of UFAs. Clowe's underlying numbers haven't been bad, but in context they're not very impressive - I just don't see him as an upgrade, particularly if he's unable to produce playing with the top 6 he does in SJ. Clowe might pass the puck slightly better, but that's difficult to judge, againg taking his linemates into consideration. Booth as far as I'm concerned simply doesn't make friends with his off-ice prosthelytizing, but otherwise is a good on-ice top 6 LW. Clowe would be helpful this season in Booth's absence however, and perhaps the two could fight for the 2nd line role when Booth returns, however I'd rather have Higgins (who I want re-signed asap) moving forward if I had to choose between the two, and Higgins needless to say costs no assets - and with Burrows, Hansen, and Kassian at RW, and Raymond alternating between, the wings are fairly crowded here. As far as I'm concerned, the reported asking price for renting Clowe is ridiculous. A crazy premium for size. If the price were right - ie Rodin and a 3rd - maybe. Otherwise, let someone else overpay. The team doesn't really need a LW who isn't really a marquis upgrade on what we already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Booth is the same, just with way more speed and not mean like Clowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 If San Jose wants a prospect and a 1st, they can have Schroeder and 2014 1st. for Couture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I would be all over Clowe here in the Nucks, but NOT for a 1st. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 No, not really Clowe is has more grit and passes much more than Booth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Sold to the man with the velvet glove! HAHAHAHA no. I would give them Connauton + 3rd at the most. Don't give me this 1st round pick garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron_Burgundy Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Okay. If the Sharks still think that Clowe is worth a 1st rounder and a top prospect, then can we say that Luongo is still one of the best 3 goalies in the league? I really like Clowe, but he is not that good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirteen Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It won't matter if he hates us to the GM. The trade is right it will be done. MG needs to at least try land this guy! Love to have him or MR on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouria Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 42 to 65 pts in each of his past 4 seasons. 6'2 225. If we had a good shot at re-signing him I'd do it. How many of our first round picks actually play for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Iginla gets traded to the Bruins for a CONDITIONAL 1st and 2 mid-level prospects while Doug Wilson wants a 1st pick and a prospect. GTFO! If Gillis was willing to pay that much for a rental, we would've been better off trading for Iginla. Doug Wilson is off his rocker if he thinks Clowne is worth that much. Iginla >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Clowne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
