TheGuardian_ Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 First Buff is off the market, now Dion has found a new home, That leaves an injured Yandle, and expensive Shattenkirk, if traded for now, Hamhuis and ????? I would have to think that the phone in the GM's office is ringing, but is it answered. Is the sign on the door; "Open For Business!" or "Gone Fishing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hamhuis sweepstakes?!?! The Canucks can only benefit from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Jared Cowen was also traded, and Justin Schultz may be on the move, soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Move Edler or Hamhuis - whichever one brings more. We need a younger D man to better match the age of our new core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'd rather our defense prospects get the time rather than sign a vet defenseman. Let that phone ring I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would likely waive for Washington, he knows the coach, coach likes him, and they are a cup contender, and they need D help. Get on the case Benning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boddy604 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Rangers are highly unlikely to move Yandle, they're in the playoff hunt. Islanders more likely to pick up Vrbata to play wing to Tavares than trading away D. St Louis just lost a D man to injury so they probably hang onto Shattenkirk now. Demers, Goligoski, and Schultz are probably all available but Hamhuis is still the better option. Canucks shouldn't wait till the deadline to do something, sell sell sell before other teams get their hands on someone else instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekey Pete Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'd like to see Edler moved, and Hamhuis re-signed short-term as a mentor to new defensive prospects. Edler just doesn't seem to have that leadership trait. I think I remember hearing that Edler wasn't willing to waive a NTC though, so that's a problem.

Canucks1527 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 With pietreanglo injured, Shattenkirk might be untouchable until the draft too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bissurnette Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 We can definitely move Edler and embrace the tank. We would get a king's ransom for a #3 Dman (with an affinity to brain farts). By the end of the year we can have all the prospects we need to rebuild. If we tank we would most likely get a top 4 pick, and any of Matthews, Pulujarvi (spelling?), Laine or Tkachuk would really round off our prospect pool along with any Dmen prospects/picks we get for Edler. This could go a long way in the rebuild if JB plays his cards right. If they don't want to move Edler they have to at least move Hamhuis. No point in keeping both especially with the market for Dmen being what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he could break the record for freshman scoring, beating out players like Toews, parise, Brock Nelson. Demko is lighting it up.

I wouldn't be in an indecent rush if there aren't a lot (even any) comparable D on the market. Get the auction going and let the buyers' agony build but then yes, end it a bit in advance of the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really excited for the Canucks in 3-4 years I agree, I'm fairly comfortable with our forward group as long as we get one of the elite offensive forwards I mentioned.

I know this is kind of an ugly thing to do to a good man like Dan Hamhuis, but if I were JB, I'd advise him that the team has no interest in re-signing him in the summer, thereby almost insuring that Hammer feel the need to go elsewhere at TDL to show himself and up his stock for another contract somewhere. A good playoff run could earn him plenty more dollars come July 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
