48MPHSlapShot Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The only way I would make a move on Bozak is if it was for Bonino straight across. Anything other than that, no dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 For me and what I've noticed, Bonino had a great start to the year with the Canucks. Since the fall though, his production has been very sporadic, he's not great on faceoffs (no one on the Canucks is except for maybe Horvat). 25 points in 52 games for Bonino - seems low for a 2nd line centre. Faceoff stats: Horvat (52.1%) Richardson (48.4%) Bonino (48.2%) Henrik (47.3%) Matthias (46.0%) Vey (42.4%) Well, that's it then. We need to trade Henrik (hehe) JK (obviously), maybe we do need to bring in a faceoff specialist though (ie. like we had in Manny). Winning faceoffs means puck possession.

Nuckin Kingsly Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 wow, there are some terrible + - numbers. All on terrible teams tho. Bozak would look good on this team, wed have to give up way to much for kessel. Wouldn't mind Yandle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 - Antoine Vermette - Phil Kessel - Keith Yandle - Tyler Bozak - Jiri Tlusty - Chris Stewart Kessel: we have Vrbata for $5 M Stewart: Kass is scoring at the same pace as Chris, and he makes less than half of what Chris does. I'd pass. Bozak/ Vermette: for the asking price, not sure how much of an upgrade they would even be. Tlusty: Burr, Higgins, Hansen, Matthias are are scoring at similar paces; is the grit downgrade worth the added skill? Yandle: fills a great need but again the asking price might be too much for us to consider. Hope this post helps CDC see how well positioned this team is moving forward, with our bargain guys.

Yeria Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 ... Bozak? We already have a third line centre. Bozak isn't that good, over-paid for what he can do. Not worth a trade at all. Basically no to the leaf's garbage. ... I understand the Leafs hate, and I approve it too, but being a Canucks fan in TO, I must respectfully disagree with your notion of Bozak being garbage. Bozak IS good, and not over-paid. 3.5M with 49 points in 58 games on the horrible Leafs? Not overpaid at all. He's one of few pieces on that team I would want on Canucks, along with JVR and Rielly. Having said that, we shouldn't trade for him nonetheless, because: 1. We don't have assets for him unless we sacrifice the future 2. We're not a contender Looking at the list, I can't think of a package that will pry those players out without sacrificing our future. I would much rather see us just sitting tight at the deadline. If we don't make the playoffs, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Canuckian Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I honestly don't see any of those players coming to the Canucks. Instead, I think that if the Canucks do anything, it will be a lateral trade - with a playoff bubble team who wants to make a decent push. So something like Sbisa & Sestito for Bartkowski & late pick for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250Integra Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The Vancouver Canucks could use a player like Yandle on the back end, someone who can run the first or second PP. There's no way Arizona will let him go without getting a young prospect + defenseman in return. Jensen Stanton 2nd Round (2015) for Yandle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would probably have to be a 1st rounder and he's a lefty. Really, we should revisit this at the draft. We want our AHL guys to learn how to win together as well, don't we?

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 No to all...be patient...stock pile for the future and build from within. That's how successful teams do it. Our cupboards are restocking but not deep enough to make a huge gamble right now. Right now if you haven't noticed our prospects/rookies have done very well because we have grown them from within the organization. That success of developing will be the reason why we succeed int eh future. Continue that trend and we will be a competing team sooner rather than later.

coastal.view Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 none of them and bozak's cap hit is 4.2 not 3.5 . and he is owed salary of 13.5 over next 3 years . over paid in my view the article contains 15 names only player i'd be interested in is eberle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharnhayre Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I would go for a Tlusty or a Bergenheim type player to add depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Why trade for any of them? And the Canucks may be interested in a lot of things, but there's no tangible connection in that article that they actually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 No thanks to all. Yandle would be interesting but our cupboard isn't full enough to be making big acquisitions. I'd rather sell vets or stay the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Benning must be kicking tyers about most available players just for the heck of it, and most of these guys would cost us picks/prime prospects so are pretty unrealistic, but Yandle would be fantastic in Vancouver. TO VAN: Keith Yandle TO ARI: Higgins, Sbisa and Cassels/McCann The Canucks need to move the vet Higgins for younger kids to take up top 6 minutes. Sbisa is expendable with Yandle coming in, and one of Cassels or McCann are expendablr considering how well Horvat, Matthias and even Gaunce are playing right now. Arizona does this because they're set for a top-3 pick (may get a good shot at Hanifin if the big top 2 centers are gone) who would replace Yandle in almost a year. Sbisa fills some of his minutes until then and is still young enough so good for a rebuild, and they get a gritty two way center to play behind Max Domi. Most stars cost teams a current roster player, a good young player and an A/B grade prospect or 1st rounder. Yandle would replace Edlers minutes and bring good offence instantly, and when our defencemen return from injury here's our full defence (suddenly one of the best in the NHL): Edler - Tanev Yandle - Bieksa Hamhuis - Clendening Stanton - Corrado WOW way overpayment!!!I doubt we would touch any of these less it didn't cost us much and low draft picks 5th to 7th if any!

Trebreh Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yandle Yandle Yandle...... did i mention Yandle? if Tanev is asking for upwards of 4m+ on his new contract, then package him to AZ. I think a Hamhuis/Yandle pairing would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
