TheRussianRocket. Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 You saw the title...tired of losing every year. Sacrifice whatever the price may be to acquire Mackinnon & Drouin. Mackinnon is the next coming of Crosby and with both these youngsters, we'll be more respected around the league and will get calls going our way with Mackinnon to be a poster boy for the NHL and his sidekick Drouin - kinda like Crosby and Malkin. Our drafting/developing is horrendous compared to most teams in the league so I have no faith in them. Leave them behind, forget about drafting 23rd or whatever it is and taking a chance with us developing them, and draft number 2 & 3 overall and get guaranteed success. Again, doesn't matter the price. If MG is smart, he does this knowing there's a better chance of us winning a Cup - multiple Cups at that - with drafting these 2 rather than going his own way, plus this way, our future 1st line would be solidified when the Sedin's leave which can be soon as next year with both contracts expiring and them maybe ending their career in Sweden as reported/rumoured. My proposal to turn around this organization which has been a fail considering it hasn't won a Cup in 40+ years of existence in the league: To Florida: Edler, Jensen, Higgins, 2013 1st, 2014 3rd To Vancouver: 2nd overall (Mackinnon), Kulikov Then To Tampa Bay: Schneider, Schroeder, Ballard, 2014 1st, 2013 3rd To Vancouver: 3rd overall (Drouin), prospect Roster: Sedin (6.1) - Sedin (6.1) - Burrows (4.5) Jagr (2.5) - Kesler (5) - Iginla (3.5) Drouin (3.550) - Mackinnon (3.550) - Kassian (0.870) [Future Alert!] Lapierre (1) - Hendricks (1.25) - Hansen (1.35) Hamhuis (4.5) - Bieksa (4.6) Garrison (4.6) - Tanev (1.8) Kulikov (2.5) - Corrado (0.599) Luongo (5.333) Lack (0.750) Fits under $64 mill cap max....that is how you turn around a franchise. Future of the NHL playing 3rd line. Get Iggy and Jags to take a discount and win a Cup with us. Keep the Sedin's and Burrows. Hendricks for depth. Get a young dman in Kulikov, Lu mentors Lack. Lineup has everything...young talent slotted in everywhere plus lots of veteran players. This would keep us contenders and make us a lethal threat for many years to come. One can dream, and I don't care if I overpaid for those 2 picks, but I'd do that anytime - anytime! - to revive this franchise and get the respect from fans back.

ALTtimegreat Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Looks good but I dont think the other teams will bite, especially tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 It's pretty much impossible to get a top 5 pick, let alone TWO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmpunk Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I agree. This is truly resetting as Gillis said and taking a different direction. These are the type of big moves I want but Gillis is afraid to do. So all he does is sign plugs like Sestito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Top 3 picks in the draft sign at that price range. 1st overall nowadays usually signs at $3.775, and next 2 sign at $3.550 I think...someone correct me if I'm wrong but its basically just how it works.

TheRussianRocket. Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm pretty sure in the latest CBA that the max cap hit is 925K?? But bonuses can count but they don't count toward the cap? So that adds 6M to Iginla + Jagr to furthur up their offers. Correct me if I'm wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwijibo Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm sick of idiotic delusional proposals. Not a chance in hell Vancouver gets 1 top 3 pick, let alone 2. If I'm wrong ill apologize and never post again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
