Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Again you repeat the CDC mythology. Hamhius is a #1 defenseman. 10th in Norris voting last year. 16th the year before. +58 over those two seasons - best among NHL defensemen. Do the math - if he's not a "T1D" then there are only one or two of those in the world. Btw, if our T1D doesn't go down in the SCF, your beloved Luongo hoists the Cup and this mythology is never repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Ah! Well there it is then. Conundrum galore indeed. Vancouver is a backward small town. There needs to be a public hanging in Gastown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BedBeats™2.0 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Again, the lack of a T1D will be their demise most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 This is probably one of the best trades at trade deadlin. Bar none. Derek Roy Offically gave the team 2 scoring lines. Put him on the Wing with Kesler or vice Versa both ways work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 The team already has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Uh, ok, that's quite a sidetrack / conversation ending / hyperbole overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I agree. There seems to be too much dust in the air surrounding people's expectation of moving Luongo - it's almost like the significance of Roy was lost or somewhat under the radar. Roy, under normal circumstances, is a huge acquisition - and the price was extremely palatable. The Canucks made due without a second line - but now that they have a bloody good one, it only serves to trickle down - the third line becomes one hell of a quality third line, and there are a handful of options for AV in terms of his 4th line depth.

oldnews Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Option #1 has to be bringing Schroeder back into the lineup and sitting Ebbett. Ebbett has experience but I don't think AV loses that much by slotting Schroeder in. IMO Ebbett's FO % had to be much better for him to stick. Schroeder has a upside that would allow him to swap him and Lappy between 3C and 4C depending upon the opposition and need during the game. Surprisingly Schroeder appears stronger on his skates than Ebbett. Ebbett also seems to lose body position quickly which I thought experience would have corrected more.

Edlerberry Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think Schroeder will be back as well. I like Ebbett, but Schroeder is, as you say, a little stronger, a little faster, a little better in the faceoff circle, and has that young hunger. Ebbett's a good option to have, particularly as a second center on the fourth line and a left handed draw to back up Lapierre (or Schroeder for that matter).

oldnews Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yeah Schroeder's better. I hope we do something like Sedin Sedin Burrows Roy Kesler Higgins Raymond Lapierre Hansen Ballard Schroeder Kassian Hamhuis Bieksa Garrison Tanev Edler Corrado Ballard played left wing pretty well, and gives that line more skill and speed than pinizzotto/ebbett, plus he can take shifts on D when needed. Raymond could get some time on the 4th with Schroeder/Kassian to up his minutes if he doesn't see enough time, while Ballard can sub out Corrado to keep his mins in check. I dunno. I think given the personnel we get the most skill on ice by playing 7 D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckfan85 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yes. I agree with you - I'd love to see Ballard on the fourth line (if/when Tanev is healthy...) - having a 7th man in the lineup who is as adept as Ballard as a forward - I'd be happy with that.

oldnews Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 kassian on the 4th line is a waste, typical AV with young players. The only time he played consistently in the top 6 this year, he had 5 goals in 7 games, but naaaaaaaaahhhhhh lets just put him on the 4th line with a bunch of plugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALTtimegreat Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Losing a 2nd and Connaughton sucks knowing torres was more of an impact than Roy. Roy is not built for playoffs. Just dont re-sign this guy but knowing Gillis he probably will try to re-sign him 5+ mil long term with NTC and call him the biggest acquisition this summer.

Alex the Great Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Everyone's over about not getting Torres. People with common sense just want to get rid of AV and Gillis and his dumb decisions. You can go with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
