davinci Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Maclean said today at the usual time slot (3:30pm) on the TEAM that his source told him the Canucks are in the works to trade a player/players that we wouldn't consider. He wouldn't divulge his source, he didn't know specifics. Just eluding to the fact the Canucks are apparently being active during the Olympic break. People I wouldn't consider: Sedins, Kassian, Horvat, Hamhuis.... anyone else in my own thought process is fair game IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Luongo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks17_33_22 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm sure that GMs talk about all of the potential trades that they can do... just not sure how many of them actually are real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lychees Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The only players I wouldn't consider are our prospects.....Luongo...Tanev Ugh, I don't like the sound of this if it holds to be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Maclean is one of the biggest clowns on TV/Radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JE14 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Kesler is a player I wouldn't mind being traded but wouldn't expect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Luongo and or Tanev would be my guess. Luongo for the obvious reasons and Tanev well they had trouble with signing him last summer and ended up with a 1 year contract and he's not signing for peanuts this time. But some are speculating it's Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Maclean put it though was that the Canucks are trying to shake things up by moving "core/non considered" pieces. Not just blowing smoke around the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Probably something like Horvat for Ladd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Honestly at this point, Tanev should be the only untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davinci Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Maclean is one of the biggest clowns on TV/Radio. Ex coach/Gm... would have legitimate sources. I would agree and say he's the greatest person to listen to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sestito, Weber, any other players that can be apart of a minor deal that could be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Kesler is who I wouldn't expect but it makes sense if we want to retool. A guy like Tanev, Hamhuis, or Burrows moving would certainly be something that would come out of left field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 There's that darn media again..ELUsive & evasive. Hope he's alluding to the truth. Let's get younger. Anyone else nervous going fwd with the twins locked in at 14 mill?! Hmm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocklovich Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 ^ I cant say I am nervous about having the twins locked in @ 14 million as I figure this is just an off year and the cap will go up sufficiently in the next 2 to 3 seasons to more than cover their salaries. Of course they will also be a tough threat to stop if the team can get some secondary scoring to go with them or create a top line and have them as the secondary scoring threats would be the ideal situation. I also think it is a pretty classy thing that Gillis & Co. are doing in allowing them to finish off their careers as Canucks and not walk as UFAs (Always felt off with Naslund being a Ranger for his last season(s) couldn't picture the twins doing that). They can also be kept around to show and mentor younger players before they retire, also what would be the ruling if they retired after a season or 2 (leaving 2 seasons on the table) would the Canucks be penalized or no since they were younger than 35 signing these deals? As for the potential 'shake up' I could see it being a number of things ranging from moving Hamhuis (not sure he likes the system in place & has struggled quite a bit with it), Perhaps either Tallon is upping his offer for Luongo or Gillis has asked for a 1st rounder + mid tier prospect instead of a roster player ++, Burrows to NYR for Prospect & Pick or Tanev really soured management enough to the point that they move him now knowing he will be a difficult player to re-sign in the current situation (I hope not I think he has played quite well under Tortorella). Saying that I think these guys say what we want them to to try to stir something up for a team that is struggling the last month and a bit.

rawkdrummer Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 If it's Kesler... I don't know what's to gain in trading him. Is he not our best forward with the Sedin brothers in decline? Best be unbelievable value coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsPajamas Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Booth, Richardson, Kassian, Hansen, Sestito, Schroeder, Dalpe, Tanev, Diaz, Weber, Stanton, Alberts. Only guys without NTC/NMC. Luongo is the only guy I would consider likely to have made it known that he is still willing to waive it. That isn't a lot to work with as far as roster players go. Hansen, Kassian, and Tanev are the only ones with any real value. Richardson, Schroeder, and Booth might have some to the right team. Scrivens and Bryz seem to be doing alright in Edmonton. Maybe they'd still take Lu. NYI has Poulin and Nillson, and given their last experience with a massive goalie contract I'd think the owner would want to shy away from them. Thomas and Clemmenson suck but Florida still has Markstrom. Philly locked up Mason recently, who is handling the pressure of their ruthless fans quite nicely. So really still a terrible market for trading an elite goalie with a big contract. Don't see a significant enough return to warrant handing the reigns over to an unproven Lack. I do like the Chicago style though. Give it to a young guy on a cheap contract and pray that he goes clutch. Lack is mentally strong but is he strong enough to handle a couple playoff yankings? Does he even have the ability to play at a level that can get this team to the cup? Kassian cannot be traded. He is a type of player that is even more rare than he is extremely effective, especially come playoff time. Hansen and Tanev and Schroeder are the pieces to move if you are going to make a trade. But I dislike Tanev's game, which is why I consider him a tradeable asset, and I'm not sure if management feels the same way. Hansen is awesome but as a bottom six he isn't exactly a key component. Schroeder is blowing it hard. I don't like the idea of moving any of our top young guys. Who the F is going to replace our core? Basically, this rumour is of the straight from the ass to our eyes variety. I don't think Gillis was lying when he said the team's preolympic performance would be used in evaluation but they're running out of time. A decision has to be made soon.

Honky Cat Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Probably something like Horvat for Ladd. No chance......Ladd is good...but Horvats got a good 15 year career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Honestly at this point, Tanev should be the only untouchable. Horvat , Shinkaruk, Fox, Lack, Kassian, Tanev, Stanton The rest are negotiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
