That is exactly what we need, although he doesn't have much speed, wish he could gain a bit more like Bo did.
Vey and Baertschi both are waiver eligible so highly likely they are both with the team.
Willy didn't sound like he thought sedins needed Vrbata on the wing so Kassian/burrows/Hansen it is.
Sedin Sedin Kassian/Burrows
Baertschi Bonino Vrbata
Gaunce/Kenins Horvat Hansen
Dorsett Vey Burrows/Kassian
Is probably the start but I hope Horvat switches spots with Bonino.
Love to see
Baertschi Horvat Vrbata
I love Burrows, but if we could trade him to Pit for a good defensive prospect (Pouliot or Harrington) I would be ok with it. Opens space for Horvat and Jensen.
Ditto with Bieksa going to Toronto.
I only want to trade them to teams that they would want to go too. Both have been warriors for the canucks. My view even without the no trades.
Happy If we keep them too.
QO are based on a formula, Kassian was 10% increase still less than a million. Very normal for QO to be turned down, just means they need to negotiate a deal.
The whole going to camp without a contract is silly, that is 2 months away!
Competition for spots is a good thing, unless we need cap space think we keep most players till camp then make a trade or two making space for our roster.
So true.
Question right now is does Horvat make it next year, we have a ton of guys for bottom 6 jobs, u have to think they want to give Horvat a spot rather than send him to junior again. AHL would be perfect but not in the cards as he isn't eligible.
Excited for camp this year.
