Laberta Wolongo Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Erik Karlsson is RFA end of next season. I wonder if it would be worth it to hold on and put a bid on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naslund.is.king Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 If Gillis has his eye on A top d-man we will have no idea who it is cause Suter wants to play with parise and we cant afford both and Weber might not be moved this year. I dont see TB moving Hedman they need more d not less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbyte Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Nice article. We have too many GOOD defencemen. We need to have a GREAT defencemen. We have the tools and players to get a trade done. That's really all we need and I think we all know it. Not exactly Weber, but somebody that can log 28 minutes and anchor our team. Actually, Weber sounds nice.

L'Orange Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Weber will be a RFA this summer and could be had...........for the right price. Whatever that price may be, Gillis should pay it. Giving up either Bieksa or Edler, in combination with a couple of players (Booth, Raymond) for Shea Weber is what the Canucks need moving forward. To hold onto the present defensive configuration any longer is nonsense. Vancouver needs to swallow hard and get an elite player now. Weber would answer many of the issues they face. And he would be welcome in Vancouver as a hometown hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The Canucks under Gillis give up on their ace in the hole for prospects instead of packaging him for a top D man or top 6 for Kes. I don't get it.Now we are faced with giving up Luo cuz they chose to dump him in favour of Schneids when the GM 'knew' since February that the team sucked,anyways. Is anybody running this ship?

magoomba Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Despite his play when without possession in his own zone Erhrhoff was always a threat on the power play and provide a much smoother breakout transition pass. When paired with a stay at home partner it would have been best to resign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipDR Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 We need to stop taking penalties. We are either the most penalized or in the top 3. And looking at our play in the first round confirms the "cult" report from Edmonton. Those turnovers killed us. I love the Canucks open style but that cannot come with the number of turnovers we had. And then there is back checking. Look at the OT loser that ended it for us. Look who could have back checked Kopitar but did not skate. An Elite D does not panic into a turnover.

gordfish Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Well it's clear we need a true #1 D man but how the heck do we get one? I mean Preds won't let Weber go and if they did trade him it'll be to the East. So if Weber won't sign longer than a year and the Preds are open to trading him... Edler, Schroeder and our 2012 1st for Weber, they get back a young top pairing D man++ we get an elite #1. I'd offer Kesler but I think they'd want Edler back if they lost Suter to UFA and Weber was going to leave as a UFA, getting a top pairing D man like Edler would help them more so than Kesler. Sedin Sedin Burrows Booth Kesler (OPEN) Higgins Pahlsson Hansen Malhotra Lappy Kassian Ballard Weber Hamhuis Bieksa (OPEN) Tanev/Salo Luongo/Scheinder Lack would like a big gritty tough guy on Sedins wing and Burrows on the 2nd line, it would balance things out more.

Brick Tamland Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I move anyone on our D except Hammer as part of a package to get a Norris caliber Dman. Whether that means Kesler and Bieksa for Weber or some other package, Hammer is the only untouchable in my mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naslund.is.king Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 You don't trade anything for Weber. He isn't going to sign for more than another year in Nashville, so you wait until he becomes UFA next summer and sign him then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 He's improved, yes. But where are you going to find minutes for him in his natural position? Take minutes away from Hamhuis and Edler? At his salary cap, he needs to play top 4. If he can't, then I think he should be traded for a TOP defenseman - a missing piece that sensible people here have been crying about for the last couple of years.
