Gotta say, Tanev has easily outplayed Hamhuis this year. He's been solid all season. Hammer was really rough early on, and since being named to TC. I like Corrado, but if we are talking about players like ROR, I wouldn't let him be a deal breaker.

Who cares what we think, it's all about what the players think. If they are game, I am happy.

I dunno, he's an Olympian now. How many minutes do the rest of Canada's blue line average? Serious question, I have no idea, but gotta imagine its up there. He's a great skater, and a great D-man, getting played like one shouldn't have such a rough effect. He's been pretty bad for much of the season. It's almost to the point where Tanev is babysitting him, like he did with Bieksa. Gotta step it up.

His reputation is starting to get out there, and rightfully so. Tanev is soooo much better than Gardiner. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

God I hope so, Tanev is twice the D-man Edler is.

I don't think Kes should be captain, but there is a long list of very successful ones that fit your description to the letter.

I don't see Edler getting it done alone. Gonna have to add.

Yup no reason you can't have both, especially with Kes and ROR being great wingers. I would still look to deal Bo though, just because if we added Orielly, we could move Bo for 1 more piece and take a stab at the cup this year and next. Someone like Kane or Simmonds/Voracek added to ROR would stack our top 6 and leave us in great shape for the future.

He has 18 goals now. Which would lead all Canucks..He's got 70 points in him one day, maybe as early as next year. Yea he helps us offensively.

There are players that can do both, that would be nice.

Nice to see Edler still sucks.

I would rather pay ROR 10 than Edler 5.

Still beleive we can have a good push this year and next. Next season could be a big year for us if we aquired a guy like Kane this year. He's at the perfect age for a breakout, as are many of our young players. Tanev will be a monster next season. Stanton and Corrado should both take a step forward, maybe making a guy like Edler more expendable. Kassian is primed to step up, him and Kane could very well share up to 60 goals. Lack will have a year under his belt, and can take a bigger load. The core guys will pretty much be the same as they are now. More guys will get better than worse. A good FA signing, small depth trade..We could be a completely different team. It's gonna have to cost something, I see no reason to roll over and die. The future is gonna suck if we just idle on by. We don't have the prospects to build half the team we have now.

Hopefully with a rival.

Yea I wouldn't really mind paying ROR 6.5.. He could very well outproduce Kes next year, maybe even the twins...

Could afford both without Edler.

Tanev is a gangster. You don't trade gangsters.

Ott sucks. Rich and Santo are both better. Bring in a top winger so that it frees up one of em for the 3C job and gives em better linemates when they do.

Works for gangsters, should be the same on the ice.

Couple seasons now, yea it's becoming a habit. Wouldn't notice it as much if he wasn't expected to be so good, but he's an Olympian, and needs to tighten it up.

I wouldn't call Ott muscle. Kane isn't particularly big, not a regular combatant either, but yea he can throw with the best of em. Fights angry, Bieksa like.

Him sucking would be the only red flag. Agreeing to be traded is not a big deal, who would want to play for a team that wants them moved anyway. Business.

Just want to see him crush Doughty again.

Im not even sure what that question was? And we're talking about Jerome freakin Iginla. Heck he's like a dinosaur and still outproducing Bergeron on the same damn team this season, let alone prime.The gap is massive. Not that either of these players are involved in the discussion, just loose optimistic comparables.

Woahhhhhhhhh, in no way, in any shape or form, at all, is Bergeron close to the player Iggy was (prime/peak/whatever). In no way is that type of player better for a team simply because he won a cup (from the 2nd line at that). He wouldn't be a Sedin replacement, but a Kesler one, who's also better than Bergeron. Ain't no Iggy though. Kane is also already proven to be a great player in this league. That certainty comes at a cost. Bo is more likely to be a 2nd punch, ala Kes/Richards/Couture/Bergeron ect. We still need the top scorers infront of him, and the overall team. We have most of that now, likely wont if we have to wait several years for a prospect to hit his stride. Not that I think any deal there is available, pieces moved in the past may have got it done, but Peg has no interest in moving Kane for a prospect like Bo even with a hefty +.
