  1. Id do this deal. It would help the canucks long term. We would probably have to throw something in though, like a 2nd or what have you. Having said that, Kesler is my favorute player lol
  2. They wont waive to go there though. Detriot, Philly, Tampa and Florida are places I can see us making trades with.
  3. No I wouldnt because defense is the least of our worries. Detriot might make that deal though. The mule is a cap dump. Still a decent player when healthy but hes signed till hes 40... Edler and a third for Franzen and Mantha is a fair deal.
  4. Im 100% with you on this one. If the trade included Mantha id do it in a heart beat. Hell no to Franzen for Edler straight up! Id be willing to take Mantha and a 2nd for Edler...
  5. Its not hindsight look at all my old posts. I even got bashed for my Keep Bieksa and Erhoff and get rid of Ballard thread when they were free agents.
  6. Ive watched almost every canucks game in the last 20 years and they havent looked this bad since the Messier era... Torts is partly to blame for overplaying the Sedins having them kill penalties and burning them out. Gillis doesnt seem like he knows what hes doing... signs the Sedins to 7 million contracts even when its obvious Daniel is on the decline. 5 million per would have been fair or Henrik 7 and Daniel 5 but they have to have the exact same pay as well? I was a big fan of Edler but he needs a fresh start in the East. I think he could be a star in the eastern conference. Trade him to Detroit for Mantha a top prospect, hes a big guy and a PP specialist. Id be ok with Trading the Sedins but thats not happening.... Kesler and Bieksa would get a great return so might look at them also even though they are my favorite players. We need to rebuild and we need to start now. If we tank we can get a top 10 pick and in 2-3 years maybe be a contender again. I honestly think I could do as good as Gillis running this team. I didnt like the Ballard trade, Booth trades... I didnt like keeping Ballard over Erhoff either.. I know he got a huge bonus but he made our pp work.
  7. Gillis made quite a few mistakes since he was gm of the year. Some of his moves, like Hodgson for Kassian for instance might turn into a great trade in 4-5 years but the timing was horrible.... they couldnt do that in the off season? I find that hard to believe.... Booth was in a soft conference and now hes in the toughest... I think he would still be a decent player in the east. Just injury prone and has no on ice vision. Hes been our best player this month thats how bad its gotten.. We should be trading 2-3 core players and getting younger... if Gillis cant do it or wont because of values then fire him and hire someone who will. Id like to see something like Mantha and a 3rd for Edler. He might agree to Detroit, hes never going to approve the Islanders so no trades for Strome.
  8. Everyone wants Mantha, cause the guy has velvet hands and is huge. PP specialist. Guess whos pp would get killed off by a beer league team right now? I was thinking Edler for Mantha though not Kesler. Id definitely keep Kesler unless someone overpaid quite a lot or like say Drouin for Kesler. Tampa wouldnt do that I dont think, but thats the kind of deal it would take.
  9. When Lack was laying on his back, still getting peppered that said it all folks. Depending on rookie Lack to stand on his head, is not good coaching or managing. It obvious , the big problem is Gillis loyalty. I feel the same way. I love this team like a family member. But its time to make a handful of trades and get younger before its too late. If I were Gillis id have a visit to the dressing room and let them know if they dont get something done by the deadline hes going to be forced to talk to agents and start a rebuild before hes fired and replaced with Feaster (joke)
  10. Its pretty obvious its a confidence issue. None of the guys look themselves , it just compounds more cause its Sedin.
  11. So you would replace Pearson winner Danny Sedin for the great Lain? Ok man, you can think whatever you want but its just not reality. Sedin had his rebound attempt stopped on the goal line at the end of the game. If he scored you would be in love all over again.
  12. Wow. The guy breaks his foot and his jaw and your trading him for a bag of pucks. Give Burrows time, hes had a rough season. The guy scored the 2011 overtime winner against Chicago, the biggest goal in my opinion, in Canucks history. I will give him more slack. The break coming up should help him.
  13. Yeah we are a number 1 puck rushing PP quarterback dman and a 1-2 line center/right winger away from being a legit contender.
  14. At points he looked like he was dominating. I guess he thought the same thing, cause at the end of the game there , he thought he was Pavel Bure again.
  15. So your telling me you would bench Daniel Sedin? Replacing him with whom exactly? Ok buddy thanks for coming out.
  16. Well trading away the future, to boost this average-tad above average team isnt a good idea in my opinion. No to trading Horvat. Not for Ladd ...hes a good player but he has a lot of mileage on him already.
  17. You dont scratch your best players , even if they are slumping....Especially when the team needs all the able bodied players they can get their hands on. He needs his confidence back , you think the pressbox will help? Some of you guys are clueless.
  18. Thats a little extreme but yes, hes sucking pretty bad this month....
