If Kesler goes they would have a shot at a Ritchie/Tuch combo maybe.Or Virtanen/Tuch.

(Rumour) torts almost removed updated botch
westcoast replied to DrChill's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Which coach works well with NTC protected players that have already hit their big payday? Give me a break,Gillis should go before him.At this point Torts should be the last to go.If anyone the PP guy. -
After all the talk how the Canucks top six wasn't big enough,and in the bang and crash games that win you the cup they weren't physical enough.Our division is big and tough and while there will be some turnover in years to come it seems the opposition is being built larger as a rule.Its pretty safe to say we will be shaping that same top six unless some unforeseen resurgence arises starting this summer.As of right now it appears Horvat will be there,and Shinkaruk who isn't huge.Is Jensen a lock?He is bigger but not overly physical.The top six spots are running out pretty quick and still not a lot of size.I will say you can't pass up on a small skilled superstar but a couple big wingers at the top of the draft is probably a good idea if they are still on the board .

I'd like to see Van come out with two of those top 12 or so players with a draft trade.
-
Isles would probably just take him given the chance no?I agree would have been nice to start the rebuild now and grab one of the impact players with a slow finish and some assets picked up in trades.Aaron Ekblad looks solid.
-
The injuries have piled up on the core and the Canucks would be wise to part ways sooner than later with them.There is a real oppurtunity to build a solid team around Horvat if They just get to it.
-
I actually thought there was a plan to do a major asset purge and was looking forward to the team possibly getting a bunch of help to surround Horvat with.Now I have no clue,and with NTC I don't think management does either.

[Trade] Canucks Trade Luongo to the Panthers
westcoast replied to Alex the Great's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Best Canuck goalie ever......but if we are heading the way it looks like we are then it had to be done.All things considered wasn't too bad . -
Elite NHL players should only be traded value for value for blue chip prospects and first round picks.its crazy to burn value from an elite player with the inclusion of a stopgap player.the Kesler trade and or Edler trade has to be for future stars and only that.The Canucks can aquire players they need afterward in other deals to fill spots

[Lebrun Speculation] Canucks Ready for Re-tool
westcoast replied to Blueberries's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If the Canucks did have a fire sale and unloaded everyone but the Sedins for draft picks and young players they would also have the ability to take on an elite level scorer for the line probably up to the league max.That might be something to keep the fans occupied for a couple years. -

Kesler-d prospect and first Edler -d prospect and first Bieksa-d prospect and first Add Tanev and Corrado and the future d corp is pretty much done.add four gritty fast top six to shinkaruk and Horvat and in one swoop the rebuild gets a kick start. -
Most likely jumps across table at Campbell when he hears the decision .

A coach losing it is a very powerful statement to the players.Having said that a nutcase acting like a Coach is not.John has to stay on the right side of the line.You can't have the crazy stuff every game or the message is lost pretty fast.

FINALLY!!Great effort.
