We don't need that attitude in our locker room, players that sit out are a cancer and frankly he's not worth his salary TO can have him -

and more success without investigating I am sure. My thoughts on this was in the last 20 years because of how the game has changed. I'll let you work out the facts behind this you seem to have alot of time on your hands -

And how many NA captains are there and why is that? I know they are not the only leaders on teams but leadership stars at the top. Period. I'm not saying that there arn't great Swedish players, how could I after having the Sedins(Greatest Canuck players ever) all those years And what I have is not a problem, its a different opinion then yours thats all -

Drafting to me is all about what if's. I'm not saying make the move I am saying if we are going after #1 pick it starts for NJ with EP which to me is not unreasonable. Just thinking about having EP and JH as our #1 & #2 centers is not good, having one undersized center in the top 2 is hard enough but doable eg Teows, Gaudreau. The west is big and strong for the most part @ center and we saw how EP was thrown around this season. Just saying. We don't know how successful JH will be in the NHL but I'm sure NO ONE thought EP would be this impactful in his first season either, he has and I'm happy with him but think if JH does sign some where else maybe in a few years its QH who wants to be moved to the team his brother is with because they are more successful then the Canucks and we end up the losers again. Just saying. -

Maybe your right, its always a risk drafting and trading. You cannot tell me it wasn't a risk to draft EP and OJ. All I am saying if you want to make a deal for #1 over all I believe it starts with EP because there is no room for EP FH and BH in our #1 and #2 centers. I believe Horvat is our Captain and leader so he's not going any where. I hope JB takes BPA or moves up alittle to get someone else and JH is taken by NJ doesn't want to sign with them and plays out his NCAA career and signs with Vancouver once a FA. Maybe by then we'll know more about JH or EP and who really fits with our team at that time. As far as your other comment..............sure if we could trade Tanev + for a late 1st I would be happy with that -

I agree, Horvat is the man to lead our team but were talking about the difference in leadership between EP and JH and with Quinn already on our team. Lets say Jack is drafted by NJ and he decides to not sign with them play out his NCAA career to become a UFA and wants to play with his brother in Vancouver, who would have to go at center to make that happen? JH is a #1 center and Ellias is NOT a #2 and seriously I really do not want to small centers as our #1 and #2 anyways. Maybe were smart to wait for that to happen and deal with it then, I am sure at that point we could get a huge return for EP? Who Knows. -

Ya I believe I'm talking about leaders who have won the Cup and the only good leader we have had was Linden in my time & me being wrong is foolish to say, Only time will tell who views are more accurate. I was too young in 82 to include them. I just looked at a list of current Captains in the NHL and too my surprise not alot of swedes on that list and certainly not any Stanley Cup winners -

No way keep Horvat great 2nd line center and move EP for Jack Hughs -

Sbriggs replied to SuperJr's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I believe Jack plays in the NCAA which has men as well maybe not the same level as SEL but I'm sure comparable. We have had many swedes on the Canucks over the years and still have not won a Stanley Cup, now I'm not blaming them but look at the latest winners of the Cup and who leads their teams eg Crosby OV, Toews, Dustin Brown, Zdino Chara......No Swedes. Its hard to beat the facts but they still matter and my veiws are far from out dated. I do respect your opinion -

He's a college player he doesn't have to sign with NJ, he can wait it out and become an UFA then sign with the Canucks -

Sbriggs replied to SuperJr's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Are you saying Jack & Ellias are not comparable in any way? I am not saying to go for it I am only saying that EP is the only player that NJ would probably look at. Personally I like the grit of an American player over a Swedish player, having the Hughs brothers would be great for our franchise going forward but still I am not convinced I would trade EP. Tough call -

The only player that makes sense is EP because Jack is a #1 C and if we get him why would we need EP? To NJ EP + maybe Hutton or OJ or 2020 2nd round pick 2019 #10 over all To Van 2019 #1 over all Thats the only option that makes sense I am sure
