MattCanuck Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Well as we all know with how the view of the team is going, Should we think of seeing options at the draft for a possible top 10-13 pick? maybe pick up a new Defensemen in the upcoming draft? Or even Trading guys or picks for players whom can start scoring on offense, Even with defense being cut down as Hamhuis is out for a few months, Maybe Benning should look at younger D men or guys who are on waviers like Hamonic(example) or as rumored this week to see if getting back corrado is worth it. Lets hear what you all think and discuss how this team can either consider a Rebuild or just re structure what is already place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Compelling question...Tank or shop? Simple answer...do both. Because But seriously, there's really nothing out there on the waiver wire other than 30 somethings that other teams don't want and the trade market right now is a sellers market, not a buyers market (though that will change at TDL). Unfortunately, in today's NHL, you're pretty much stuck with the team you start with in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Trade UFA's for picks, plug some holes with free agents. The waiver wire is not fruitful ground usually. Other than that, stay the course. The big plan is sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the only way Linden will survive this. firing the coach does nothing but expose management if nothing changes. this needs to be done before draft day. go from there. the seasons done, scouts should be frequent flyers like linden should. after we get a legit GM start internally promoting that's how you stay consistant , it gives everyone incentive, same with our prospects, play the ones who have paid their dues, that's gives them faith in the team, and incentive. so wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Don't do anything. The tank is already on. All they need to do is make sure there are deals in place by the deadline to pick up some extra draft picks and prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiver so where teams put players that they don't want on there team or if they want to terminate a players contract. When a player is put on waivers all the other 29 teams in the league can claim the player for a small fine (like 4k) but will have to take on that players contract and put that player on there NHL roster. If more than one team claims a player the worse team gets him. If a team want to send the player down they will have to put him back on Waivers in order to send him down to the AHL or terminate his contract. There are rarely any NHL players who get claimed off wavier and make a good career for themselve. So when you say build by picking players off waivers we are basically putting up a lot of 4th line/AHL players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
