Darkstar Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 To Vancouver: Teddy Purcell To Tampa Bay: Kevin Bieksa Pieces could be added on either side to make it more even but this is the starting point. Why Vancouver does this: To get a legitimate top-six forward who can be an effective playmaker/winger for Kesler. Vancouver is also looking to get bigger and even though Purcell isn't the next Bertuzzi, he's 6'3 and 205 lbs and would add size and tremendous skill to the lineup. The Canucks also have a few d-men looking for bigger roles next season such as Corrado and Tanev which can potentially make players like Bieksa expendable. Why Tampa Bay does this: Tampa Bay's weakest position is arguably defense, and Bieksa adds a component to solve that solution. Salo will likely be gone after next season as well and Tampa doesn't have any significant d prospects coming up through the system wit the exception of Koekkoek and maybe Sustr. Tampa can trade Purcell because they have tons of depth up front with their prospect pool as well as their current roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollumpus Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I already knew about the full NTC. Doesn't mean that he would never waive it. It would have to depend on the destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Green Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Wouldn't it also depend on a desire on his part to leave Vancouver? To my knowledge Bieksa is happy where he is. Not saying it wouldn't happen, just noting that there is no evidence (to my knowledge) that Bieksa wants to move. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Green Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Edler makes more sense to me presently, ntc not in effect yet and Bieksa only legit top 4 right-side dman Canuck's have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanKeslord17 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Bieksa's the only top 4 dman Canucks have?! Lol Are you serious? Ever heard of Hamhuis? Who just happens to be the best dman on the team. Also as much people on here dislike Edler, he would be a top 4 dman on any team in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 If only Bieska could be as sharp, confident & smooth in his own D-zone, as the persona he demonstrates during interviews. Great guy, & fun teammate I bet, but Good Lord, his clumsy mistakes are hard on the blood pressure. Do this deal AND deal Edler, if we could get another decent RH-D, who's big & young. Want some stupid errors to challenge your excellent 'tending, & make for exciting back & forth play?..Fine! But at least let's have youth to blame. It's usually our young D(namely Tanev) covering for foolish vets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Purcell is more of a playmaker than a goal scorer. He could fit well with Kesler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Canuck Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 He said Top 4 right handed defenceman... The ones you mentioned play the left side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossram Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I don't hate it. We do need more scoring. But I don't think we need a player like Purcell. He'll be like another Roy. Tampa fans seem to see him as disposable. He's the kind of player who puts up points but doesn't really make an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
