Warhippy Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 One of our biggest issues as it stands is RW in the 3rd and 2nd lines. Winnipeg has a beauty of a guy that rumour has it might not want to play their anymore named Wheeler. So. Simple question. If Wheeler passes up signing in the Peg, is it possible he would be a fit on this team? And if so, how much do you think he is genuinely worth and whose line does he anchor??

Pears Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'd dangle Edler for Wheeler. A bit more may need to be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drouin Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Would love to have him, isn't he like 6"4 or 6'5 something? The guy would be the power forward we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drouin Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 He is 6'5 and he can score beauts. If he came here Sedin Sedin Burrows Kassian Kesler Wheeler That would be amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Kass and the Wheelman. I would enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 If we got Neal and wheeler just think of about our second line. Neal-Kesler-Wheeler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroutley Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I would love to add Wheeler plus I think adding Penner as he should be reasonably priced would add the missing elements Vancouver needs. Get something done Gillis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Sorry, yes he's an RFA I looked to quickly. And yes Hansen does great on that line, but how many Higgins/Hansen type players do we really need? And how many Wheeler type players do we have? Would he fit on the team? What is his worth?

Danthecanucksfan Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Wheeler would definitely ignite our top 6. Who wouldnt want a 6'5 sniper/PWR forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Wheeler is one of my favourites (as you can see in my sig) but I doubt Winnipeg will trade him. Also I doubt Wheeler wants out of Winnipeg given that he has been very successful there and it is close to home (he was born in Minnesota). If we were to pry Wheeler away from the Jets we would have to give up far more than I am comfortable giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 He would be perfect for the Sedins. Big and crashes the net. And can put the puck in too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I would love Wheeler in our top 6, Fast big and is getting better still. Even though the past two seasons he has shown a lot of improvement I would not trade Edler for him. I would trade other assets for him, and I am not sure what his value would be considered, yes Evander is more desirable but would take much more to get. That top 6 would be interesting with booth in the mix as well, could do a lot of line juggling to find the right combos, nice idea, Wheeler would fit in great!

Monty Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Too bad it won't happen. He's a beast in Winnipeg, a great teammate, fans love him, and there have been no "rumours" of him not re-signing. If he receives and offer sheet, the Jets have a lot of cap room to match. Wheeler is not going anywhere, and certainly not for Edler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I agree wheeler most likely wont be traded, they'll prolly sign him 4.5 or 5 mill for 4 or 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
