Horvat4captain Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 So this is our lineup ATM. Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Baertschi-Sutter-Vrbata Higgins-Horvat-Hansen Prust-Vey-Dorsett Edler-Tanev Hamhuis-Weber Sbisa-Corrado Extras: Bartkowski,Kenins,Jones I like Burrows but he's no 1st line forward. I like Weber but he isint a top-4 defenceman. Weber is bottom pairing while Burrows is a fringe 2nd liner. My proposal: To Van: Drew Stafford To Wpg: Alex Burrows Yannick Weber Alexander Grenier Why Winnipeg does this: Winnipeg has a strong lineup that lacks Grit. They have 12 million in cap space and a deep d-core but they lack grit. Burrows is very close to Stafford skill and value wise. Weber is added to help with Winnipegs defensive depth( Which is already good). We toss in Grenier as a sweetener. Why Vancouver does this: Stafford is an improvement over burrows and allows us to put Vrbata back on the top line. This move gives us 3.4 million in cap space to sign a defenceman. Grenier isint a huge loss as hes redundant in our prospect pool of RW's with Virtanen Boeser and Jensen ahead of him. We move Weber because he becomes redundant and hes getting paid 1.5. Christian Ehrhoff said he would take a 1 tear deal and with the new cap space we can afford to pick him up. Im proposing 1yr/3 million to play top-4 until the deadline where we can move him if needed. This leaves us with 400k in cap space and 14 forwards and 7 dmen. Sedin Sedin Vrbata Baertschi Sutter Stafford Higgins Horvat Hansen Prust Vey Dorsett Edler Tanev Hamhuis Ehrhoff Sbisa Corrado Extras: Kenins Jones Bartkowski I think that lineup looks alot better and if need be we can move guys at the deadline. Vrbata Hamhuis Stafford Higgins Prust Ehrhoff Overall a better lineup and more options for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Stafford just signed an extension with Jets. Plus that's a huge overpayment. No thanks to Ehroff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 burrows is exactly the linemate, the sedins need to be able to play their game...we're ready to start the season...go canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yes to Ehrhoff. Heck no to that trade, it makes the Sutter trade look like a bargain. Why would we give up that much? Burrows is very close to Stafford skill and value wise. Weber is added to help with Winnipegs defensive depth( Which is already good). We toss in Grenier as a sweetener. Fact of the matter is, 1) as you said Burr is already roughly the same in value as Drew, 2) Weber will be one of our better (if underrated) offensive D-men who we will rely on, and 3) adding Grenier for no reason will get Benning so many bouquets he will have enough stock to open his own flower shop once he gets let go as a GM. Aside from those points, Burr already has chemistry with the Twins and Stafford is a very streaky player. The only thing that Drew may have on Burr is his relatively younger age (though he's almost 30 himself). So many reasons to say no (unless we get a young forward or prospect back).

SaintPatrick33 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I dont see how Stafford is an upgrade over Burr. Burrows does it all, from PK, to 4th line to 1st line. Why people want to get rid of him is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragyn Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Sorry don't like this proposal at all. First off Not sure if Stafford is at all better than Burrows, Stafford cap is 4,350,00 for 2 years & Burrows is 4,500,00 for 2 years , Weber is 1.5, Greinier doesn't count, looks like a difference of 1,650,000 Not 3.4 Mil................Looks like a throw in of Weber getting 1.5 which is about right for a 6th D Man & Greinier also for nothing, Erhoff isn't my favorite & obviously a lot of people think the same or he would be signed by now. Vancouver also nixes this as Burrows Salary not his cap hit is 1.6 Mil less over the 2 years..........Stafford 4,350,000 & Burrows 4 & 3 over 2 years, so we would giving money, a No6 D Man & a prospect {Vancouver wants to take a look at} for a maybe. I do like looking at all the different proposals though, Thanx for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 If you really want Stafford (I wouldn't mind him to be honest), I'd go with this: TO VAN: Drew Stafford TO BUF: Burrows + Weber + 5th round pick He scored around the same amount of points as Burrows but really lit it up with Winnipeg, so I think he'd be hard to pry off their hands. Weber and the 5th just make up for the age difference. Plus, as a right handed shot he may even have some success with the Sedins. Then, instead of Ehrhoff I'd much rather sign Franson for obvious reasons - he's younger, brings more offence, plays PP better and is more physical than Ehrhoff. Sign him to a 1 or 2 year, 4.5M deal. Sedin - Sedin - Vbrata Baertschi - Sutter - Stafford Higgins - Horvat - Hansen Dorsett - Vey - Prust Shinkaruk Gaunce Jensen Edler - Tanev Hamhuis - Franson Sbisa - Barktowski Corrado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Ha Winnipeg lacks grit. They out muscled Anaheim in the playoffs! Just couldn't score. Anyway no interest in stafford or hoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 You get what you pay for. There's a reason why guys like santorelli, booth, Mathias, and Bonino are cheap; they are not very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
