Legend Killer Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Jesus people. Do you realize in a couple years the Canucks are going to like Calgary?! It happens to EVERY TEAM!!! We will have some losing years and we will eventually get back to the top of the West. I'd rather we trade prospects and go all in then sit, do nothing, be mediocre and blame everyone for everything. Sit down, shut up and enjoy it while we are still above the top 6 in the West... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmanVan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 This. Gillis must see him as a long-term option - similar to Higgins and Lapierre, assuming like them, he ends up being a true fit over the stretch run and playoffs. We've had a huge deficit in playmaking (beyond the Sedin line of course) ever since Kesler converted himself to a power forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangelos Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Everyone keeps saying Clowe, but I'd rather we get Martin Hanzal as the 3rd line C, move Roy up as a passer for the 2nd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc2001 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Why would he be less likely to get injured playing RW over C ? this might be one of the dumbest things i have heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_a_M Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 for as much flack as Gillis gets people have to show him some kind of respect. He sees a weakness and tries to improve the team, Roy should help this team but then again it all depends on how AV and the coaching staff use him.

Sugar baby watermelon Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Sweet no more Lou to the Maple Leafs for Bozak postings. I've always liked Roys game in Buffalo and even Dallas, he is a slick playmaker who can put up some decent numbers. Great job Gillis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adniel_g Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yep, just like how people on these boards thought Edler would command 7 million, and that's there was absolutely NO CHANCE that he would sign for less than 6 million. Come on guys, just because Derek Roy and his agent personally say they want upwards of 5 million doesn't mean he's going to get it.... Of course you're asking price is high to start, wouldn't you do the same if you were him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adniel_g Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I read on CBC that Roy was traded FROM Buffalo to the starts because of the addition of Cody Hodgson. So, is this essentially: To Van: Roy, Kassian To Buffalo/Stars: Hodgson, Sulzer, KC, and a 2nd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 "He sees a weakness and tries to improve the team, Roy should help this team but then again it all depends on how AV and the coaching staff use him. " Gillis knew Malhotra was very dubious,knew Kesler would miss the begining of the year, took all year to get a center and you wish to give credit?

ccc44 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Anyone who thinks Roy is here for more then this yr please give your head a shake because he is a rental We cant afford 5-6 million dollar 3rd line centers other wise Kesler would be playing there when healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking mama Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 It does not embarass the other overpayments if he turns into a 15 game rental then bolts for 5-6mil mil which is what hockeycentral just said he is asking for. We cant afford to pay someone that kind of money who would probably be on our 3rd line behind Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking mama Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Still waitin' for another belligerent power forward - if Kassian has been rejected. A Top-4 D-man. Where is Brian Campbell (hurt?).....'cuz here's Luongo or Edler...Mr. Tallon! If Lu moves - also require a solid back-up for Corey. Wishin' upon every star like crazy. The SC ops with the Sedins are fading - Mr. Gillis....so it's your time to shine...or flame-out. Wonder what we'll see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 This d-day just got crazier...some guy tweeted Bos Brad Marchand traded to Vancouver for Tanev and a 3rd....stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
