[Rumour] Canucks to trade for Raffi Torres


Recommended Posts

MG will look like a clown for letting him go for nothing, but the pros outweigh the cons. We need to replace Booth's body right now and I'm sick of watching AHLers play on a team that's supposed to be contending for the Cup. We had 5 AHL forwards in our last game, Torres would be above all of them on the depth chart.

I don't watch him daily but I would think he isn't the same guy we had in 2011

We loved him because he played on the edge and then he crossed it a few times and he can't get close to crossing the line like he did before...he will get hammered by shanny

BUT I'd still take him to solidify the 4th line

To Phx: 4th pick 2013, conditional 5th rounder in 2014 (if canucks get to west finals)

To van: Torres

Sedin-sedin-burrows

Raymond-kesler-kassian

Higgins-Schroeder-Hansen

Torres-lapierre-weise

Still need to find a 3rd line C but I like the potential of the 4th line

He's getting sheltered more this year (o-zone starts, QoC, etc) but isn't doing that great as a possession player. I guess you have to expect some of that since he looks for hits to be effective but I doubt he'd do that much for us considering we haven't been wanting for bottom 6 wingers.

Unless he's become a top 9 center or a RH defenceman, I'll pass.
