Off_The_Schneid! Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Everyone is talking like we are on the outside of the playoffs looking in. Ride this season out, pick up a 3rd line center at the deadline, Kesler will be back for the playoffs, trade Lou in the offseason for a couple of high draft picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodee Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I like the idea of having an Elite goalie on hand as we go into the playoffs. Plenty of time to do a deal in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Its starting to look like that isn't it? I'd rather call it too late this year. Acquired too many pieces that don't fit (Ballard, Booth), left too many holes open (centre, RHD), just too many assets (including Lou) rotting when we have needs. WE HAVE NEEDS! Shifting those types of assets at the deadline is the wrong time to rebuild. Still I'd move Ballard for picks. Should get something similar to Leopold? This would be a terrible year for the Canucks to go 'all in'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllEyezOnMe Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Why do I keep having to explain this??? We are not going to blow up our future now to have a slightly better chance to win this year..... Our prospect pool is bad enough as is, we dont need it getting worse. If we go all in now, then we probably have 5 or so years where we will be at the bottom of the NHL. If we compete now but dont make as many big deals then we probably have a 2 year period in the future when we are rebuilding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The inability to pull the trigger on many deals is due to a pathetic prospect pool which is a result of poor scouting and drafting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SealTheDeal Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 See that's the problem lol why are we even in a position were we cant go full throttle on other trams and still have a decent shot next season. That's where gillis and his horrible decision makin these last few years has got us. How is it that the red wings have been able to compete year after year and were at a point that if we make a bold were basically out of the playoff run for the "next 5 years".

Angry Goose Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Durr. . . Ken Holland himself stated publicly that the Red Wings are 50/50 to make the playoffs this year. The Canucks have their D and goaltending set for years to come. The Sedins, should they stay in Vancouver, may fade into a sceondary scoring role but will still be top-6 for 5 years or so. We are not on the verge of being bottom feeders for years. That would be Calgary and Colorado. We have better owners, a better GM. . . basically better everything.

Cpt_scary Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 we can keep speculating and speculating about everything or we can all just face the fact that none of us know even a little bit of what goes on behind the scenes between gms/agents/players. People flame Gillis to no end for not just simply "pulling the trigger" when in reality it is far more complicated than that and Gillis is undoubtedly doing whatever he can to get a stanley cup (without screwing up the future of the organization) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
