4everacanuck13 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 BUSY DAY AT THE OFFICE BOYS: Okay, here’s what I propose we look like for next season: Keep: FORWARDS DEFENCE Burrows Bieksa Higgins Hamhuis Jensen Garrison Kassian Tanev Kesler Stanton Mathias Richardson Santorelli D.Sedin H.Sedin Discard: FORWARDS DEFENCE Booth (Buyout) Edler Hansen Weber Schroeder Demote: Archibald Dalpe On the bubble: Sestito Projected lineup: F1 D. Sedin H. Sedin Jensen F2 _UFA__ Kesler __UFA_ F3 Burrows Santorelli/Horvat Higgins F4 Richardson Mathias Kassian D1 Tanev Bieksa D2 Garrison Hamhuis D3 Corrado Stanton G1 Lack G2 Markstrom/veteran backup We have $10M in cap space going into next year, with Kassian, Santorelli, Tanev to resign on that list. Kassian: 3 YR @ $2M per year Santorelli: 2 YR @ $2M per year Tanev: 5 YR @ 2.75M per year Leaves us with $4.5M, in addition to $5M from Edler, 2.5M from Hansen, 4.25M from Booth, meaning in actuality, they have $16.25M to spend. Notable free-agents; Ryan Callahan- could slot in beside Kes on F2 (4 YR @ 6M per year), Paul Stastny for F2 (2 YR @ 6M per season Leaves us with 4.25M for minor league roster signings, depth signings, veteran goalie. Potential depth FAs. Victoria born- Adam Cracknell. Plays in Stl. Dave Bolland Steve Ott Tanner Glass (Bring him back!!) Trevor Lewis Blake Comeau Brian Boyle Players to fight in the system: Shinkaruk (doubtful he plays, he missed most of this season to injury) Gaunce Cassles Obviously some things need to go a certain way, for example, Edler needs to waive his no-trade clause. getting FA to sign in Vancouver could be more difficult than in years past, but as we've all learned, money talks. Thoughts? Id rather have Horvat on third line Center and let Santo be on Kesler's wing. Higgy - Kes - Santo. Wouldnt mind that 2nd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2009cupchamps Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Torts has stated numerous times that he likes KESLER on the wing. With all the injuries he had no choice to put him at center. D SEDIN H SEDIN JENSEN BURROWS HORVAT KESLER HIGGINS MATTHIAS KASSIAN SESTITO RICHARDSON HANSEN DALPHE Buy out Booth sign a good UFA R hand d man. If we trade KESLER than you sign a top notch RW UFA to play on the second line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazzam Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 This really depends on what type of team the Canucks wants to be. I'm sure the owners are going to pressure Gillis to make this a playoff team again instead of a retool that is desperately needed.If we are pushing for a playoff spot next year, it's clear we need help up front to start with.Kesler if he remains, he needs to be on the wing. If we can have Paul Stastny centering him, we should have a solid 2nd line, which may actually end up being our 1st line, if not a 1a/1b situation.We need to keep our young assets so UFA may be the only way to go.The next obvious glaring hole is a puck moving offensive defenseman. IMO, along with many others we have too many redundant defenseman. Move Garrison if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmotamed Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Why do you want Hansen out? He's one of the only players who works hard each and every game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSWord Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 My lineup is: 1st: Lucic Crosby Perry2nd: Benn Getzlaf Giroux3rd: Sedin Sedin Burrows4th: Sestito Lain Richarson Defence:Chara WeberSuter JonesKeith Karlsson Goal:Does it really matter with that lineup? Okay guys, I've done the hard part of mapping out how we win the next 5 cups. Someone else figure out how to get them all here and under cap that's not illegal! (Actually, I'm okay if its illegal as long as someone else gets arrested for it) So unrealistic. Why would Karlsson be on the 3rd pair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Our Bottom Six looks nice next year Higgins-Horvat-Santroelli (15 mins a game) Matthias-Richardson-Kassian (13 mins a game) That just shows you our depth of bottom 6 six guys. And we still have Sestito Lain Achiblad Dalpe Welsh Schroeder All pushing for Bottom 6 Spots As for our Top Six D.Sedin-H.Sedin-Jensen _______-Kesler-Burrows? I'd like to see another sniper added maybe Matt Mouslon? Ryan Callahan? Someone along those lines. plus add a top 4 d-man Like Matt Niskanen Then our mini rebuild is complete add one of Perlini/Virtanen/Tuch/Richie to our prospect group and were set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Stanley Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 if we dont trade kesler and if Horvat makes the team than this: Burrows Henrik Jensen Daniel Kesler Kassian Higgins Horvat Matthias Santo Richardsson Hansen Sestito that is a great bottom 6!!!!!! If we do trade keeler we can either move santo to 2C between or use whichever young C we get from the kesler trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
