I like Rous and what he brings, but I don't think he's quite the agitating force we all thought he was going to be and, really, I think there's enough grit on the team, aside from him, that makes him somewhat expendable. He would be a moderately signficant chip to play and would bring back something more than a late round pick, imo. It would also free up a spot for Mac or Bailey. I think Tanev or Stetch might also be in play, for the right price. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess as in all things like this its whats the return. if its part of a package to upgrade the d group it might be worth it, but I like the veteran presence of Roussel on that line. If we went with an all kid 3rd line do you think it survives the harder games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not dumping Rous, Tanev, stetcher etc, but I'd bet they certainly consider good offers on those three guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this team is really exciting - and there's no need to add other pieces. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys we can afford to deal pretty much have limited value because of either NTC type clauses and or the fact we can't retain much due to our cap situation. Sometimes the best move is to do nothing....especially not dealing any more picks. This is the clear strength of the organization. Let them find more gems via drafting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost the Coilers Taylor Hall, a first line forward, to get a 2nd pairing D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I hope Jim takes a run at Simmonds too cause he could be had for a decent price and I think he could make us play even bigger. Also with playoffs coming and reeves and Kassin and MT all around I would love an actual tough guy/fighter... no disrepsect to ferland but his never been the toughest guy , his always benefited from having someone watch his back while he was a flame. Simmonds can also play anywhere in your line up and iirc either wing too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would balance hughes perfectly and also give Hughes more space, which is never a bad thing ....if your a Canuck fan....... that would give us pretty balanced d core in my books Benn and stech wouldn't be the worst bottom pairing or tree and stech even sexier ha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a highly skilled guy, but he's pretty solid and pretty gritty too. They need some aggression on the dcorp. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of him ha I was kinda hoping the oilers would be planning a golf trip instead of in the playoff race cause Larsson could be another guy to look at if the price isn't to high and I think his in his final year too.

Comeback_Kings Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Canucks played an amazing puck possession game last night and controlled the game, wasn't even close. Love how they protect possession and make it count. That's Canucks hockey right there, not to dump and chase, not to rely on turnovers. So great to see. I'm seeing top ten team in the league right now and the class of the Pacific. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to wait a week without hockey anyway, and sitting at the top of the division on a winning streak is the perfect way to wait out the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your reaching deep.. I’m concerned more about the 1 point spread from in or out of contention.. it’s tight.. and theoretically, this team needs to be in the playoffs this year for at least 1 round to at least cover 1 year of Erikssons salary over the 4 he’s been paid for.
