Slegr Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Holy smokes, this guy almost blows the Phoenix game singlehandedly. He's set up perfectly to nearly make it 3-0, but bobbles the puck, then comes back and serves it up for Vermette, leading to a huge shift in momentum. I wish I had the time and energy to make a montage of every time Hansen bobbles, fumbles or misplays the puck. Another minus game tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 What is he being paid for? He doesn't hit ANYONE anymore with that shoulder that pops out with every little bump. He doesn't fight, because he broke his hand once doing it. He doesn't score because he has hands of stone. But boy... he sure can kill penalties as good as any AHLer.

hockeyville88 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I feel like he's on the expendables list Yeah he does a lot defensively but he's one of the worst at cashing in on quality chances. If we could get a good 2 way player with better finish I'd be ok with that trade. Whomever we got in exchange would have to be excellent defensively though. Hansen is valuable in that regard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniwaki Canuck Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I hate to say it but its the new contract. That money grubbin little badger. I'd say it's the shoulder. Whatever else anyone says about Hansen, he isn't an attitude problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 He did set up a great chance for Richardson, which he did take... are we gunning for him now or for Burrows as well? Guess we needed to find a new scape goat after MayRay left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silfverberg Snipes Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Lol. You don't get rid of players like Hansen and Burrows. He actually has decent vision unlike Higgins and Booth. Used his speed to set up a cross crease chance and I remember this move where he stopped up along the right boards faked as if he was going to skate towards the blueline then back hand sauced it into the slot on the tape of one of our players. He's not a fourth longer and shouldn't be treated like one. Tortilla had no clue about player potentials and preexisting chemistry in this lineup.

I agree he's had a bad year so far and what you said happened last game, but I think it'd be a mistake giving up on Hansen. He's been great for us for many years in the past and I think he'll turn around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Hansen has been one of my favourites for a while. However, with the emergence of Richardson and Santorelli, along with some injuries slowing him down a bit, he is probably one of our most expendable trading chips (that still has value).

oldnews Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I've generally liked the job Tortorella has done, but not a fan of the way he's busting Hansen's balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzy Desjardins Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I think this is Hansens last season as a Canuck. Not a knock on him, but as others have stated, he is expendable and has some value . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chauncey Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I don't want to be one of those fans who calls for a trade of a player when they are having a rough stretch of a season but it seems under Torts system Hansen has lost his edge that we loved him for. Is he expendable? The second and third lines of Kes-Santo-Hig and Kass-Booth-Rich have some pretty nice chemistry and consistency, and when Burr comes back and lines up with the twins where does that leave Hansen?? Weise has turned into a solid fourth liner who can easily fill in on the third, and then there is Dalpe, Welsh, Sestito and Schroeder. Again where does Hansen fit in? I bet his trade value is pretty high as potentially one of the best third liners in the league. Should we hold onto him or trade him when the value is high??
