jonnycanuck46 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just something I am worried about: Gillis has been known to pick up players past their prime: (Sundin, demitra, Sturm, all the tryouts, now Pahlsson) This guy has 2 goals this season. Marco Sturm has scored as many goals as he has. And on a crap team like Columbus, Sammy should have had a more important role. If he can't score where he is much more valuable, what make MG think he can now. All I know is that all the TSN/Sportsnet/ESPN guys were talking about how this guy is well past his prime, and they are skeptical of whether he even does anything. I feel we could have gotton a Moen/Ott type guy for a couple 2nd's and Ellington. That to me would have been a better use of our $$$. Pahlsson is not even worth a conditional pick, nevermind two 4th's AND Ellington! Thoughts? PS: As much as we are all pissed about the SIGNIFICANT downgrade this TD, lets not talk about our Golden boy anymore, because we need to move on.

Rhinogator Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 No. Sturm has been injured seriouely a couple time while Pahlsson is relatively healthy in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Zamboni Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 well if pahllsons' a bust we can always trade him to florida in the off season for another great player like booth:O) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kack Zassian Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The guy isnt here for scoring. Pahlsson is the guy CBJ sends outvs the Sedins. He is Manny Malhotra 2.0. CBJ replaced Manny with Pahlsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biasbieksa Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Pahlsson shut the Sedins down when we faced Anaheim years ago. I believe he was in the rumblings of a Conn Smythe too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benzito Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Are you kidding me? Not every player in the league is a scorer. Pahlsson is a defensive specialist. He is what Manny Malhotra WAS last year before the eye injury. He almost won the Conn Smythe in 2007. He will be used to shut down top lines of Detroit, San Jose, St. Louis and Boston. Please don't ever compare him to a player like 'Sturm'. It just makes you look stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Do you even watch hockey? I would assume a real hockey fan would tune into at least the Stanley Cup Final, Pahlsson was an absolute force in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 i love sami pahlsson.....what he has left, i don't know, but he gives us more depth for the playoff run...he has made his living as a shut down specialist, but he can skate and has some offensive skills....good pick up.

The Heart Break Kid Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 No sami pahlsson won't be a bust for the reason he was brought here. He is here to provide shut down checking and kind of be the player malhotra was last season. That being said I don't think bringing in another checking center has improved our third line.

trevforever Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Pahlsson was a -6 on a very bad Columbus team..He has been on a "rebuilding" Columbus team for 3 years now. Once he gets settled as a Canuck he will flourish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malHOEtra Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Marco Sturm was a really solid offensive player that could score 20 plus goals, the problem was he was past his prime and was too old for the canucks line up. The same could apply to Pahlsson, although he is a premier shut down center and yes did contend for the conn smyth, that was five years ago. The question here is what if Sami Pahlsson is past his prime and doesn't have enough left to help the significantly help the canucks line up.
