Formula for a CUP!


Recommended Posts

This team needs a CUP! With the Sedins starting a dimminshed state the time is right now for M.G. to "Re-set" or re-shape this team. He needs to put his fingerprints on this team, now. In order to do this he will have to come to terms that he has viable assets that can net Us very good players for years to come.

We all love Burrows, Edler and Luongo but they are the only real options Gillis has to fulfill the formula to win a CUP. This team must get bigger upfront, players that take the body with more firepower. Our top six must be hard to defend. So I propose we deal;

TRADE #1

TO ANAHIEM:

EDLER

TO VANCOUVER:

RYAN

TRADE #2

TO FLORIDA:

LUONGO

BURROWS

SCHROEDER

TO VANCOUVER:

KULIKOV

BJUGSTAD

UFA signings:

D.Clarkson-4 MIL

R.Clowe-4 MIL

New look lines:

RYAN KESLER CLARKSON

SEDIN SEDIN CLOWE

HIGGINS BJUGSTAD KASSIAN

JENSEN GAUNCE HANSEN

HAMHUIS BIEKSA

GARRISON TANEV

KULIKOV CORRADO

SCHNIEDER/LACK

DEAL: Ballard and Booth for 3rd or 4th round picks.

Top 2 lines look crazy good. Lots of size down the middle plus a couple of young studs. Every line has a physical presence plus great skill and depth.

CAP= 60.5 MIL WITH SOME WIGGLE ROOM LEFT

can you say CUP please...

Please no clowe he's slow as hell and really isn't a good upgrade over Burrows or kassian. Might have size but I've never been a fan.

Other than that decent trades. Could work. We will need a center who can step up and replace kesler because you know he won't be 100% for 82 games

Sad to see burrows go but I love that Florida trade, you think we are overpaying, I thought they wouldn't do it.

With burrows and lapierre gone our rep with the refs will be improved. With lui edler burrows lapierre gone our core is changed big time.

It's younger bigger and better. I would love to have Kulikov on our team our D needs a guy like him.

Our top 6 could do some nice line juggling as well, would be a really entertaining team to watch and te bottom 6 is solid. Don't sign Clowe as hes not needed save the team 4 mill.

Really like the final lineup though

two rookies centering the 3rd & 4th .. sounds like fun

no need for Clowe. already got one slow bum we have to worry about in Kass.

Kulikov is young and dynamic, top 3 dmen, no way you can get them for that package if you want their #1 C prospect since Huberdeau is well considered "graduated".

Ryan - Kesler - Clarkson/Kassian

Sedin - Sedin - Clarkson/Jensen

Higgins - Matthias - Hansen

Gaunce/Jensen - Lain - Kassian/Weise

Hamhuis - Garrison

Kulikov - Tanev

Andersson/Tommernes - Bieksa

Schneider

European league back up (cause i don't know who MG could possibly try to trade for .. unless that whole proposed team of mine has the cap space for ... DiPietro)

Like the Ryan trade alot but I'm not sure if Anaheim would do it. That Florida trade is intresting but it doesn't really address our biggest need for goal scoring up front or toughness in the bottom 6(except for maybe Bjugstad but he doesn't offset the loss of Burrows). I agree with others that Clowe is kinda slow so I don't really want him, wouldn't mind Clarkson though. Ballard is pretty much worthless with 2yrs left@ $4.2M, nobody would take him unless it was to buy him out.
