Mr.53 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Earlier, I posted a thread on what I would give up for Evander Kane. I suggested Jensen, Hansen, and Markstrom; however, it seems like Benning may want to go a different route and try and pry Andrew Ladd out of WPG. Another local guy, he could very well sign an extension in two years if everything goes well. He would also be a great mentor for Kassian on how to be an effective powerforward. Also, a line of Ladd-_____-Kassian would be a tough line to play against. Exactly the kind of line we need in the pacific devision. We saw what Booth-Richardson-Kassian could do, so maybe Ladd-Bonino-Kassian, would be dynamite. To VAN: Andrew Ladd To WPG: Jacob Markstrom, Jannik Hansen, and Shawn Mattias. Why WPG does this: Shawn Mattias replaces Ladd, and is a few years younger. I really don't see Mattias sticking around after this year considering, as it looks right now, he is going to be on the fourth line. Over in WPG, they can use him as a left winger or a center at least in their top 9. Mattias to them would be what Bonino was for us in regards to the Kesler trade. A younger version to replace what was lost. Big man, for big man. Jannik Hansen, as I stated in my Evander Kane thread, would be a great speedy mentor for Nik ehlers. Plus on a 2.5 million cap hit for 4 years, he could really help out WPG. Jacob Markstrom. This one is easy. They need a young goalie who can minimum play backup, but could potentially be a starter. We happen to have one who fits the role perfectly wanting out. Markstrom would turn into their form of Eddie Lack, a young goalie with starting potential in the lineup. Why VAN does this: We add a local guy, who replaces the leadership lost from Kesler. Top 6 power forward for 2 years Mentor for Kassian Could possibly stay long term if we want due to the hometown connection. Signings. Linden Vey for no more than 1 million Darren Archibald for 850k, to play 4th line left wing. I don't know why, but I'm a huge believer in Darren Archibald. I think if we give him a chance, he could be a really solid 4th liner. Lineup Sedin---Sedin---Vrbata Ladd---Bonino---Kassian Higgins---Horvat---Burrows Archibald---Richardson---Vey (Sestito---Dorsett) Hamhuis---Tanev Edler---Corrado Sbisa---Bieksa (Stanton) Miller Lack That seems like a really solid lineup to me. One that can play in our division and still make playoffs. Some people may consider it an underpayment but lets hear some opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Can't we target Wheeler instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Can't we target Wheeler instead? Wheeeler is a beauty. Big guy hits hard plays hard. I bet they would want more for wheeler though wouldn't they? Honestly I think that trade is fair. Doesn't Hansen have a NTC limited? He just had a baby last year don't c why he would want to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I think that trade is fair. Doesn't Hansen have a NTC limited? He just had a baby last year don't c why he would want to leave. Hansen's wife is from Winnipeg and that's where his family spends the off-season. He would waive to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmon Arm Canuck Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I do agree with OP insofar as Winnipeg seems to be a natural spot for Markstrom. Packaging Hanson also works and lowers the cap hit as we have more than enough third/fourth line players. What we need is a 2nd line winger. Kane, Ladd or Wheeler would do the trick. Of the three, I would prefer Kane---high risk but unquestionably high reward if it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.53 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 benning said he is finished until after the start of season....enjoy your summer oh yeah I heard about that. I don't think he said he was done for sure though. I mean, you wouldn't be doing your job right if you didn't at least consider ways to make the team better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 There is only one reason to trade Ladd, to rebuild. A number of teams can offer significantly better packages than the ones made here. Packaging a bunch of easily replaceable pieces isn't getting you a player like Ladd's caliber. To get a player like Ladd you are going to have to offer something that you really value highly. At the very least you have to at least start with a 1st round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksFanMike Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 No way the Jets accept this trade.... not enough going back their way. Some people might not think this but imo Ladd would fetch close to what E. Kane would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure.10 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'd like to target wheeler instead. How about wheeler for gaunce, Hansen, burrows and markstrom?
