Alex Burrows 14 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Apparently the Canucks want to move up in the draft to get some Russian. Don't know how to spell his name and I don't care. So here's what I suggest. To TB: Edler, Higgins, Rights to Roy and Raymond, 2014 1st To Van: 3rd overall, Lecavalier Canucks get a good center on a huge contract. And obviously a high draft pick. Tampa gets some scoring and a great #1 d man. Hedman and Edler could be one of the best d pairings ever. Canucks draft Jonathan Drouin To NYI: Luongo, 1st To Van: Martin, 1st Canucks get a great fourth liner and move up in the draft. NYI gets a solid #1 for a few years and still get a first round pick. To Van: 1st To Win: Lecavalier, Hansen, 3rd Winnipeg gets the first line center they need and a pick. Give up a mid first round pick. Vancouver drafts Lazar Sign hendricks. Lineup: Sedin Sedin Kassian Burrows Kesler Drouin Lazar Gaunce Jensen Martin Hendricks Lapierre Hamhuis Bieksa Garrison Corrado Ballard Tanev Schneider Lack Great defense, solid, young, tough offense, great goaltending. And I'm sure its under the cap. Someone can check but it definitely should be. This team is good for now and the future. What do you think?

R3aL Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Lecav is not an easy player to move, let alone his contracts huge, and your proposal involves movin him twice, very unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

406281dylan Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 i agree with having both hendricks and lappy and i support vinny but i dont think we need to take on another huge contract at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 With all due respect, is it fair to still consider LeCav a top-line centre? Only when looking at his atrocious salary, might one be tempted to reason this. In observing his constant spate of injuries, I'd expect we'll see a Gomezian-decline from the "next Michael Jordan". Whoever takes on that contract, better get an accompanying HAUL, & go young/cheap; with an eye towards buying the dude out, within a couple yrs... In your deal, I'd suggest dumping more cap on TBay(eg:they take Booth, not higgy); as well, demand another young piece, like Connolly thrown in. It would be a costly marriage/divorce with a girl that once won pageants... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TACIC Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Why would you draft Drouin over Nichuskin? They say he is a man among boys so he's big plus he's amazing offensively. Exactly what we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilly Canuck Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Mackinnon would be the better fit with the Sedins because he's a right handed shot with creativity but he'll likely be gone by the 1st or 2nd pick. Honestly I don't know much about Drouin other than he plays with Mac as a C/LW and has put up similar numbers to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilly Canuck Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 He's small but plays very aggressive, a playmaker and had a better ppg then mackinnon this year. He had 5 assists in the memorial cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Burrows 14 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 That sounds like a franchise player but my biggest concern is, can he play the RW just as effectively as LW and C? It puts pressure on him to make plays on his backhand more than his forehand so it would probably be best to put him on Kesler's LW than say RW with the Sedins. Personally I think if we're going to make a big trade like this, we better be getting a player who would certainly be a fit with the Sedins OR Kesler. I'm just not convinced Drouin would be that, Mackinnon would probably be a better fit with our team right now than Drouin so I would pay a little more to get him instead.

Dilly Canuck Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I would probably agree but I just see it costing sooooo much. Drouin is a right winger I believe. I think he can play either though. And I don't think it should be a concern if he will fit with the sedins since we have other players who can fir there and they will retire before kesler.

Alex Burrows 14 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Well given the rumor that Florida may be seriously shopping their 2nd overall, getting Mackinnon may be possible and would probably be the same price if not better, than what TB would ask for their 3rd overall. Even if Drouin is a RW, I would bet that Mackinnon would be a better fit with the Sedins than him. Hard to say for sure but they have said it's easier playing with a rightie than a leftie, also they enjoy playing with creative players so Mackinnon fits both criteria. That would be intresting because they have never had a player who has met both those criteria... Yes we have others who can play with the Sedins but it's nice to have advancement opportunities for a youngster rather than glueing him to Kesler's line, I know I'm a minority here but I think the Sedins are a long way from ending their career in Vancouver(see Alfredsson).
