I am little disappointed in Wille, this is not exactly a "chance to succeed"

why does Lazar look way ahead of Bo in terms of development?

real smooth skater, crease clearing D man - looks like the player this franchise has never had, the kind of D man that legit intimidates the opposition and can wear down opposing players over the course of a series. I hope he comes to NA - real nice scouting and JB showed some legit balls in picking this guy.

Horvat made the team and Green said Jensen is ready bro, it was just a matter of numbers.

yup talking about why bo should be in the lineup and how to get him there. Thank you for such a sterling contribution.

cap space for when that right shot PMD becomes available, lol, plus we are full of average to above average prospects and bottom six players and you need to clear the way for youth to come in and be given chances to gain experience and make an impact.

I agree Trade Hansen, but if Dorsett gets a 3rd from NYR and Garrison gets a 2nd from TB, I would hope for something like a 3rd+ a 4th or 5th, but I would do the trade for a 3rd And I get that its only been a s few pre season and 2 season games where Hansen has been crap, but does he really offer so much that it is worth returning Bo to Jr. CoHo wasn't half the defensive or responsible player Bo is and we still kept him for most of a season as a 4th liner before he broke out the next year. I wouldn't move Jensen up, I would insert Horvat, move Matthias to the wing and give Horavt a good look for 9 games. If he does well, keep him and you can always lone him to Team Canada for WJC. I would bring up Jensen when the first injury strikes

it is time to make room for these young guys if I am willie, I have to tell Hansen and Matthias they risk losing their jobs if vey, jensen, shink, horvat continue to out play them by such a large margin. Burrows has been a little sleepy but he needs time to still be evaluated. Vey needs to work on his defence so I'd move him to the wing. sedin sedin vebrata Shink Bonino Vey Burrows Horvat Kassian Higgins Richardsson Dorsett yes, that 2nd line is green, but these guys are the top producers so far so they deserve a shot. Lots of youth in this group, good mix, 4 lines that can play. Jensen in Utica until he learns how to not take penalties 200 feet from his net Matthias or Hansen is traded along with Markstrom for picks, I don't care if we only get 3rd, 4th for Markstrom and Hansen. Get rid of useless cap. lets be honest, we got nothing for luongo, lets just trim the fat so they do not take up space our young players could benefit from

fixed

IMO horvat should be brought into this team unless he is flat out not ready and I have a hard time imagining that. Cody played limited minutes his first year here, but had a breakout year right after. Here is my stab at it Higgins Horvat Vey Matthias Richardsson Dorsett Hansen Hansen may compete with Vey or Mathias, but if he cannot clearly win a job I'd trade him if there are any takers. Should be able to get a 3rd and a 4th for him, dare I ask for a 2nd?

great job, really liked it. Our cubbard is pretty solid, also Dane Fox and Linden Vey are very interesting prospects.

bure barely spoke english by the end of his career, who cares what language he speaks and how much english he speaks

thats not a bad thing, the KHL is probably the highest level of hockey outside the NHL, letting him develop there is a good thing

I would actutally give of TT instead of shinkarurk what do you think? Shinker was a cpatain, good canadian kid, grity for his size

to me, tanev and 6th for SR and Kesler for Pouliot + is a no brainer - that gives us future 1C and 1D otherwise we just grumble along without the key pieces for a rebuild

I prefer Kesler to Pitts for Pouliot and 1st, 2nd and that gives us a 1C I see they do not like Garrison, but what about just further sweetening it Garrison, 36th, 6th for 1st OA and Racine/Hayes - how does florida not take that??? Pouliot Tanev Corrado Sanheim/Dougherty Stanton Cederholm Hutton that looks better but really - do we know for sure that Tanev's career is going to be far and away better than say someomne like sanheim or fleury???

sure, sounds good to me Fleury Theadore Corrado Mattson Cederholm Hutton

or Tanev + 6th for 1st and someone like Hayes then Kesler to Pitts for Pouliot, 1st, 2nd draft kempe or Lemieux we get our future 1C and future 1D plus we kee p 4 picks in the first 2 rounds that is more than fair value that we are giving the other teams, one could argue that in the Kesler trade, we are not getting enough, but I am happy witht these trades - free up tons of cap to go after a guy like stastny

Tanev may be a top 2 d man in 4-5 years but he is slight and that scoring touch will top out at 30 points a year Canucks are missing a future 1C and 1D Tanev will never be one of these, Reimhart and Ekblad are, Kesler trade can replace Tanev as a previous poster proposed - 10th (Fleury), Theadore Tanev 6th for 1st OA draft Reinhart (when his brother Griffen is a UFA, he might sign here) the Kesler 66th, for 10th, Theadore, 24th - draft Fleury and Lemiuex or Kempe Out Kesler Tanev 6th OA 66th In Reinhart Theadore Fleury Lemieux thats fair

kesler 36th, McNally, Labate to ana for etem, 10th, 24th, Theadore etem + Tanev+96th to Buffalo for the 2nd Out Kesler, Tanev, 36th, Labate, Mcnally In Reinhart, Ehlers, Fleury, Theadore, Lemiuex Rebuild complete

Tanev + 1st = over payment at 6th, Nylander, Ehlers, even Draisaitle may be available, and there is a chance that these guys become better or just as good as Reinhart Corrado + Jensen + sixth is better, but still long term I rather have corrado, jensen and say nylander than just reinhart or Edler+ 1st for 1stOA and 3rd rounder is alos fair because elder has a long contract and the uncertainty of his performance can be thought of as a prospect with a lot of high quality tools who may or may not reach his potential

1.To FLA Stanton + Corrado + 6th To VAN 1st overall 2. To ANA Kesler 66th To BUF Etem, 10th, 36th To VAN 2nd overall Theadore Shink Reinhart Kassian ---- Horvat Jensen Gaunce Cassels Fox Edler -Ekblad Garrison - Tanev Theadore --- not bad

i actually would not do that

ill take a stab at it Jensen + 6th + 36th + Labate for 1st overall and 61st draft reinhart Kesler + 66th for Etem + 10th + theadore draft Fleury I'd be over the moon with that

kesler + 3rd + McNally to ANA for Theadore, smith Pelley (or Etem), 10th the 6th + Tanev to FLA or BUFF for 1st draft Reinhart!!! - The future "cornerstone" of our franchise it hurts to lose Tanev, but I do not see edler waiving and if he can return to form than he will be more of a impact player than tanev, yes it is tough to lose a young seady d man that plays top 4 and plays on the right side, but it is not everyday that a potential franchise centerman from Vancouver is available. furthermore, at some point the reinhart borthers may all want to play together...in Vancouver then draft fleury with the 10th and then Benning will have to draft some D man or find a way to get that stud 1D that this franchise has never had future shinkarurk reinhart kassian Jensen Horvat DSP Gaunce Cassels Fox Theadore Fleury Corrado Stanton Hutton Cederholm Lack Markstrom Ericcssson
