  1. I know the Sedins and Burrows are getting alot of attention for their uninspired play but Hansen has to step it up too. His old honey badger forecheck hasn't been close to what we're used to seeing from him
  2. Pretty sure R'OR doesn't come here. AV's will basically make any team overpay for him, so he's not worth it for the Canucks
  3. Nah Canucks are still competetive- they just can't score goals. IMO Kesler should finish the year with the Sedins, and trade for someone that can handle the #2 C duties. After that just try to hang on while injuried players return to line up. Boy did that Santorelli injury hurt the team.
  4. If things are as bleak as you think then there are no safe players. IMO things are bleak but only because the Canucks can't score or play the uptempo game Torts wants. Kesler has been doing both so it doesn't make sense to move him, nor does it make sense to trade one of your top centermen when there arn't exactly players who can step in and play the position.
  5. I have to disagree. Trading Kesler or the Sedins signifies the Canucks arn't committed to winning now, and unless the Canucks are rock bottom in the NHL there is no reason Aquillini would give his blessing to do so. MG has to see what the Canucks can do with a differen supporting cast around the Sedins/Kesler. If they continue to plummet then the Sedins AND Kesler could be traded
  6. I'm a firm believer in MG honouring the NTC's but with that said when the team hits rock bottom I think it is safe to assume that changes have to be made, NTC or not.
  7. Don't think DET would do Mantha for Edler as others have said. DET has no need to give up their top prospect right now. A hockey trade would probably be Tatar + prospect + pick for Edler. No way Kesler is movied either as that would really weaken the C position for the Canucks right now. MAYBE in 2 years if someone can step in and play Kes's spot would he be traded and when his contract is nearing it's end.
  8. IMO Edler is a good defenseman, but just not playing up to his potential so far this year. If it weren't for the scoring issues the Canucks have I would say don't trade Edler at all. But hey, maybe MG pulls off something to help the scoring woes that doesn't involve Edler at all.
  9. CDC seems thinks Edler has equivalent value to Shea Weber.
  10. and there is no telling whether ALberts will be able to play again this year because of his concussion, and injuries to Weber/Bieksa.
  11. My issue was with you assuming Torts hates him. You don't know anything about that. This was a move made by MG to address injuries with the defense. Simple as that.
  12. With all the injuries on the back end people should see this as obvious
  13. It's been a very uneven game for the Canucks but seems like people are being a bit overly harsh about their play
  14. jeez imagine if Garrison were to improve his accuracy, Guy shoots enough to get some goals or good rebounds
  15. Yeah trading any one of those three would be tough because despite the really bad slump lately, all three have been the better players.
  16. Yeah if that is the case then a deal definitely wouldn't happen. Not that the Canucks need to trade Kes anyhow. Maybe instead aquire that top 6 young playmaker he so desperately needs.
  17. Not sure about that. AV's would lose a bit of offense but gaining Kesler makes them stronger in all the defensive areas of the game. The only reason they wouldn't trade Duchene now is because Stastny is UFA, O'Reilly RFA and Mackinnon isn't ready to step up yet. If they had someone who could slot in as a top C it would be a doable trade
  18. IMO Kesler is too valuable to trade because of how good of a C he is. What MG needs to do is experiment with a different supporting cast because who knows, the playoffs this year arn't a write off yet. But hey if COL wants to give up a Duchene or something like that I'm not against it- just would have to be a top notch ready to play younger player.
