Gollumpus Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 With the injury to Joni Pitkanen, Carolina is now in need of a d-man to support their playoff run. There is constant talk on these forums that Ballard will be/should be bought out at the end of the season (ie. lose him for nothing). What do we believe the Canucks could get for Ballard if Gillis was to trade him to Carolina? I'm assuming a 2nd might be a possibility, or maybe a decent prospect. regards, G.

Salo'sBomb Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Wouldn't mind Jussi Jokinen if they kept some salary. Or try and pry Jamie Mcbain from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 So Carolina loses a defenceman to injury and their solution to the problem a trade a defenceman for....a defenceman? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Im not overly interested in moving Ballard, I think he can still contribute to this team in the playoffs but it is something I would consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I would agree with this as I do like Ballard, however, if Gillis can replace the 2nd he moved to get Roy, with a higher 2nd and maybe a better prospect, that would be pretty tempting. It also saves money, which may be the deciding factor over whether or not Ballard could contribute to a Cup run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah if there is something there that is good enough, then sure. (Although I would then want to acquire another defenseman. I don't have confidence in Alberts full time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Well, so much for that idea... regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
