CanAus8 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Our current roster of defensemen is lacking in size and snarl. K Bieksa - 6.1, 198 F Corrado - 6.0, 190 A Edler - 6.3, 215 (but, most of the time, plays smaller) J Garrison - 6.2, 218 D Hamhuis - 6.1, 209 C Tanev - 6.2, 185 Y. Webber - 5.11, 200 Signing another defenseman with size and a matching mean streak would be good. With the size and speed of the modern forwards, our guys are going to take a beating. We need someone to put a bit of hesitation in those charging forecheckers. There are not many free agents available at the price the Canucks can afford so maybe a trade is the answer.

Canucks fan in chicago Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Re-sign Alberts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keslerific Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Bieksa is so not lacking in the snarl department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAus8 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Alberts has the size but lacks the snarl - Bieksa has the snarl but lacks the size. Someone with both is what's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliboy Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 We also need another forward, as in top 9, Brunner, Jagr, Morrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 We should definitely sign Cam Barker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deus.ex.makina Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 We don't even have a real second line and you guys still want another dman... we can't score to save our life and you are happy with plugs to fill the second line. Kesler will lose another year without a real passing winger, and the sedins will lose another year by taking all the pressure on theirs shoulders... another first round exit at best.

aliboy Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 A healthy kesler will help and a healthy booth may spark something. Hopes are Jensen or Schroeder step up and produce aswell. Having a better team overall will also contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
