Smashian Kassian Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I think Philly also may be a contender, nothing massive, like no chance of Voracek, but something around Read might be of interest. Of course who knows if that is now, or in the summer but I think Philly is on the upswing in terms of interest in Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Perhaps. I wouldn't be against it completely. Although Goc is very underrated and a great shutdown guy, for right now, this run, I'll take Goc. Alright, in certain cases I agree, in the case of Larsson/Petrovic I disagree, Larsson is one of those guys that only come along every 3-5 years. Its not a big deal though.

Smashian Kassian Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 You've just prejudged Petrovic - you don't know what his potential will turn out to be. ^And Bjugstad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I wouldn't. He's steadily getting older, and you never know when his value will depreciate. You want a guy approaching his late 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Actually with that FLA report, you gotta think he left out some players. There are others guys they want to hold on to, I don't think they would trade Kulikov or Bjugstad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Why is everyone talking about Larsson all of a sudden? Was there a rumor about NJ or something. Also, if Florida is willing to trade for Luongo, we're gonna have to take a cap dump back. There's no way around it. It's gonna either be Upshall or Kuba. Ballard would likely have to be traded for some 4th line depth or picks. But hopefully will allow us to get a good package of Bjugstad, Goc or Matthias, and a top 6. I like Fleischmann or Kopecky. Kopecky brings that feisty pest mentality that we could use. Sedin Sedin Burrows/Kopecky Booth Kesler Kopecky/Burrows Raymond Matthias Hansen Higgins Lapierre Kassian Hamhuis Bieksa Edler Garrison Kuba Tanev Schneider Nabokov Believe it or not that lineup uses up the same amount of cap as the one we have now.

theminister Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yeah I wasn't refering to that, but I will play along. Scouting and the draft isn't entirely a crapshoot, it is an inexact science, you are just banking on predictions and projections on what you think these young guys might become, there are alot of uncontrollable variables. There are times where you just flat out make bad picks but alot of the time you pick players that just don't pan out, thats the way it is. Thats the way it is for everyone. From 97 to 08 (the last 12 years we can basically accurately project now) We have had 3 years where we have drawn complete blanks and got no one of significance that ever had any prolonged NHL career. Not good. But in the other 9 years we have gotten atleast 1 player and in most cases more than one that has had/is having a prolonged career. Like I said earlier if you get 2-3 players that have NHL careers you should be pretty happy, anything more is an outstanding year. And I think you should get atleast 1 player out of each year. Our's hasn't been great, but circumstances have to be considered aswell. Late 90's/early 2000's up until 03 were not particularly good draft years, and we have been picking later in the rounds for most of the 2000's. I agree ours hasn't been great, we have blow alot of picks and blown some entire drafts, but at the same point we have had some really good years. So its not great at all, but hey I think we could have a little done worse. We have done well enough to sustain the franchise and having talent. So whatever, I think we just need to focus on were we are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Kuba would more or less bring what Salo brought. Steady veteran defender, who has proven he can put up big points on skilled teams. Kopecky would bring what Samuelsson brought. Feisty two way player that has underrated skill. If Samuelsson can put up 30 with the Sedins, I think Kopecky could. He's not afraid to get in players faces either. Matthias, would basically just be a younger bigger version of Malhotra in his prime. Not as good in the faceoff circle obviously, but he's decent. Adding those two would also mean we'd have a 6'3"+ player on three of our four lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Would maybe have interest in Kopecy, price would be higher than most though, not a give away. I would rather take Upshall as a cap dump than Kuba though, I think Ballard is better than Kuba, I like what Ballard brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
