[Rumour] Canucks have attempted to acquire Brandon Dubinsky


Recommended Posts

For those saying Dubinsky is too expensive to be a third line centre:

1. Someone needs to play second line centre while Kes is injured.

2. Dubinsky is versatile, can play the wing.

3. The Penguins won a Stanley Cup with J. Staal as their 3rd line centre, and he was a 4 mil cap hit.

5 mil left after acquiring dubinsky and parise. Traded loungo straight up for shenn, abviously we could get more. Kept malhotra and alberts just to see how cap would look with them on the team.

Thats a pretty big top 6. D is sturdy, but could use some help. Lack probably needs more time in the ahl. We could still make some moves to upgrade the D. Even if we cant get Parise we could get other players from UFA for his spot. Thats with a cap of 70 mil but it fits, barely. If we remove malhotra and alberts that could still fit in a 68 mil cap hit we could still sign somebody for some defensive depth or get another top 6 dman

Your entire post contradicted itself.

When would you ever see Taylor Pyatt take a run at a guy and sucker punch someone? LMAO!! I don't want Boyle either and the Rags aren't trading him, but let's not get confused on how he plays.

4.2 for a third line center doesn't make sense. If anything they would move Kesler to the wing and have Booth-Dubinsky-Kesler as the second line, or even Dubinsky-Kesler-Booth.

I would much rather have Malhotra hopefully regain his 30 point defensive specialist form, then pay Dubinsky second line money to be a 40 point 3rd line center. That's just dumb.

The cap hit isn't that bad. If we send Raymond the other way plus picks/prospects that is 2.11 gone. Dubinsky takes the second line position untill January-letting kesler rest. Who else do you have as second line centre for 3 months? Once Kesler comes back, Dubinsky slots down and centers a great 3rd line, that will take difficult minutes away from Kesler . Also 4.2 isn't that bad as he is an upgrade over Gaustud, and how much do you see Guastud getting signed for on the market.

Well, Dubinsky & Hansen have played an entire season on a line together in 2005-2006...

This would hopefully create a third layer of offensive support behind the twins.

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows

Booth - Kesler - PA Parenteau

Higgins - Dubinsky - Hansen

That third line would be just an absolute counter attacking nightmare for other teams to deal with.
