[Discussion] Should JB consider MacEwen in the Canuck top 6?

Personally if we are having this conversation, bite the bullet, sell hard on LE (can barely spell his name ffs), trade Sutter for what value may be left and sign Ferland while he's available.

 

MacEwen looks good but at this point we would still be gambling/rolling the dice on an unproven player, giving him a top 6 role right away, while we are trying to make the playoffs.

JB and Co knew the Lu decision was coming long before free agency.

I am inclined to agree with this stance tbh. If it costs something to get rid of LE, it might be worth it just based on what they can use that cap to replace him with.

 

A different way to look at it is if the sweetener asset to move LE is something a reasonable GM would trade for the player he is signing with the cap, then you make those moves all day every day.

No man I said LE I think you kinda misread. 

 

Im talking about biting the bullet (salary ret./asset) to sell LE who BY THE WAY is not just a contract. He would be playing for the given team unlike Marleau.

 

I wasn't talking about Bobby

Whoever wins the job come fall will be there to start. Honestly there’s a few candidates that would probably do just fine. Having JT and Pearson now makes a huge difference. You could sneak Leivo, Virtanen, Bear and the line will be fine. I really don’t think we need to do anything drastic. 

 

Love MacEwen but he’s a bottom six forward. Most players in the NHL have had good offensive numbers in Junior, Ahl etc

Getting a top 6 forward added always came down to shipping out Eriksson or Sutter regardless of the Luongo penalty.

 

Until that happens the roster is what it is.

or Baertschi.  The Canucks have too many Fs and he's not a fit with Sutter, Gaudette or Beagle so might as well move on.  There are probably still teams that are looking for skilled scoring wingers.  He might not return much but he clears cap space.
