[Proposal] Trade Ballard for Bertuzzi


Recommended Posts

Canucks get a power forward for the second line/power play

Wings get a puck moving D man

Both team fill their voids

I still remember when Bert was asked if he would ever come back after his trade out of here; "stranger things have happened"

Yes, I'm sure he would be pleased to come back tio the media circus and have to rehash all the Moore garbage. If this trade occurred he would likely hang them up. (didn't we have enough of these "Bring Back the WCE" threads in the past.

I like Bert, but no, just no.

We need a RW as well as a centre. Centre is a higher priority tho. For a centre,I say we target Dubinsky. His value is lower than it normally is because he under-performed but he would be a perfect 3rd line centre for us. He brings everything to the table.

Imagine: Higgins-Dubinsky-Bertuzzi as a 3rd line :D

I like it the only think they would need to add is a prospect/pick because bertuzzi is 37 and ballard is 29 but still imagine

sedins burrows

higgins kesler booth

bertuzzi lappy/? hansen

lappy/? malhotra bitz/volpatti

but I have a feeling this will be our lineup on opening night

sedins burrows

higgins kesler booth

raymond lappy hansen

bitz malhotra volpatti

bieksa hamhuis

edler garrison

ballard tanev

schneider

luongo

I would like this if we can't sigh doan or some other player we can get via trade or free agents

sedins burrows

booth kesler higgins

kassian lappy hansen

pinizzotto malhotra volpatti

same d as before and I have a feeling luongo won't be traded until christmas if the season begins on time because if schneider proves he can't handle being the starter until christmas than MG might trade schneider when he still has more value than luongo if he play light out than keep schnieds and trade luongo until somebody will pay the price

also keep raymond for depth he can play anywhere in our top 9 if injuries happen

Bert's getting up there in years and grayer in the beard... as mentioned I'd want a younger, big power forward.

In the meantime also wouldn't mind signing UFA Jason Arnott for one year on the 3rd line and 2nd PP (2nd line while Kes is out); he offers size, strength and a good shot, plus defensive stability.

Option for unit 2 PP: Burrows - Arnott - Higgins

He (Jason), Kes and Booth can also rotate on the Twins' wing on the top PP
