AjitGill17 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 So in the last 2 playoff series we realised that we were outmatched offensively and physically. We haven't made any significant changes to our top 6 to fix that issue. I believe Shane Doan if the right price willing to take a contenders paycut could fill the gap on that second line. Or perhaps Ryan Clowe from the sjs he has one year remaining on his contract at 3.75 mil he is a heart and soul guy from Newfoundland I believe so and is a decent playmaker and can stick up for his teammates when needed. Then theres Todd Bertuzzi who has the cheapest cap hit of upwards of 2 million and can serve as a temporary power forward to perhaps mentor Kassian. So here are my following proposals for each of these players Sign Shane Doan for 2 years/5.5 million or 4 years/20 million Acquire Ryan Clowe from the Sharks for perhaps Luongo if they choose to deal Niemi. Todd Bertuzzi for perhaps Keith Ballard which would be extra 2 million going their way. What do you guys think this is my first post this year so please give me some much needed feedback thanks guys.

King Heffy Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I like the Clowe trade if we can't sign Doan. We'd likely have to add a prospect, which I can live with. Bertuzzi isn't coming back here with the court issue, and Ballard is actually a pretty good D-man. Our depth is terrible if we lose him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Haired_Shanks Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 would love to get bert back but thats never going to happen no matter what. doan is the most likley to sign here if phoenix doesnt get settled clowe i would welcome with a reasonable trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksFanMike Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Clowe would fit in really well here, but he would be hard to get from San Jose who likely isn't all that interested in lui. But i would start Kassian on the second line if he has a good camp if we miss out on Doan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterBean Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Not interested in Bertuzzi at all. Clowe would be nice but I honestly think we'd have to overpay and the Sharks could likely get a better package from a different team. Doan is our best shot right now.

Peaches Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 No- too soft, can't pass, can't score. could be good on 3rd though Doan- wouldn't cost anything but cap space and bertuzzi isn't what he used to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Come to think of our forwards would be stacked if we got all three Sedin - Sedin - Doan Booth - Kesler - Clowe Burrows - Bertuzzi - Kassian Higgins - Lapierre - Hansen Stacked and HUGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Boogie Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The only realistic one is Doan, and even that is not likely. We will have to overpay to get Clowe, he is the heart and soul of the San Jose team. Bertuzzi is not what we need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 why is betruzzi a center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Clowe would be incredibly difficult to get, and I wouldn't want Bertuzzi anymore. Doan is the only feasible option, but he'll probably end up back in Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The one with the best chance is Doan, and even that is pretty slim. Bert isn't coming here. And I doubt San Jose want to get rid of Clowe, they would probably rather go in with him and Niemi than trade for an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Doan probably won't sign here, Bertuzzi ain't coming back and Clowe will be very costly to acquire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Garrison Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I like Clowe and Doan. But not happening. I hope Raymond is gone by deadline. Sooner rather than later. JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I just want to know who the 5 numbskulls were that voted for Raymond. That's like hoping we trade Lou for Reimer straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Swansons Moustache Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 All three would help add to the team but i think Doan would be the most likely to join the team and that's a huge long shot. You can tell he's doing everything he can to stay a coyote and with the possible lock out i think id pass on him if he wants that 4yr deal, 3yr tops. Clowe would be the best fit id think though and who id want with his age, size and grit. He's similar to Doan but younger and also a great fighter and will stick up for his teammates. He might be available being in his last year of his contract and the lack of speed the sharks have. Him being in the same division i doubt a player like Clowe would be traded to us, most likely out east if he got traded but stranger things have happened. Bertuzzi, i still have a soft spot for him and still watch him but theres no way he's coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn antoski Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 -the steve moore incident isnt over yet, bert cant play here - I'm not trading Lu to the sharks, lu will come back to shark bite us in the as - I hope Doan signs with us it's a good business move for him and his team the kamloops blazers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
