CanuckRow Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thats probably because the only player you actually know on their roster is Kessel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Phaneuf for Luongo straight up. Say what you want, he's exactly what our team needs - a big, angry defenceman who can score some points and probably threw the biggest hits all of last season. Edler - Phaneuf Hamhuis - Bieksa Ballard - Tanev/Salo (for 1 million) That's a Cup winning defence. Maybe find a shutdown guy for depth and we're set.

Toews Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 What kind of chirp is that? The leafs have very few attractive pieces that could get a guy like Lu to be moved to them. I'd take Ryan Malone and pieces rather than Luke Schenn and other pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toews Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Why would you want Phaneuf? I would laugh if it actually happens, thats a ton of money on defense without addressing a real need. You guys need another shutdown guy not another point getter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckRow Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I thought you said they just had one piece? Are we backtracking now? I am not disagreeing with the notion that Toronto and Vancouver are not good trading partners. I just disagree that they have just one piece. Aside from Kessel these are the pieces I wouldn't mind having on the Hawks. Gardiner: best rookie defenseman this year Lupul: good playmaker on the wing Bozak: would make a nice third line center, can take FOs and does a good job on PK Gunnarsson: Dont know much about him, but he is cheap and can eat up a lot of minutes Franson: decent depth defenseman Blacker: Haven't seen much of him either but from what I hear he is pretty decent Kadri: still young can still manage to turn his career around Colborne: Big center with good hands but questionable skating ability Kulemin: Will be a great third liner on any team.

Toews Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The thing is, I don't see Burke trading Gardiner, Bozak, Blacker, or Kulemin. Even so, you would honestly consider trading Lu for a package that would include guys like Lupul, Franson, Colborne, etc? Not a chance that would happen.

klw604 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 no, toronto has nothing of value except there 5th overall and they would never trade that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckRow Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 You would lucky to get that package for Luongo. Lupul is top line winger, he would fit in perfectly on your second line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I like the trade. Connolly is a a solid offensive performer when healthy. 5 on 5 he was a lot more productive than Kesler this season, and would give us a scoring line centre (moving Kesler into a role checking other teams top players). He is shifty and a good playmaker which complements Booth's game. Booth - Connolly - Higgins would be a line with a nice balance of size, speed, grit, goal scoring, passing, checking and defensive awareness. Schenn is a big strong defenseman and only 22 years old. He could develop into a gem for Vancouver. Maybe we should throw in Raymond as well to get rid of salary (he is a Nonis player anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
