[Eklund Rumor] Canucks Targeting Brad Boyes


Recommended Posts

a former two time 30 and 40 goal scorer will get more than $1.5 million which we could afford.

Clarksons brilliant 1 time 30 goal season and nothing over 17 goals since or prior got him over $5 million....

There's no chance we can get him unless he truly wants to compete and takes a lot less money on a bridge contract from now to when the cap goes up

What makes people think that we will start goal scoreing more goals next year with this current roster? I mean why do people say no to boyes. We need as much offence as we can get. We DESPRATELY need Secondary scoring. What other options do we have?

Really boyes could end up as a Canuck but will need a salary cut since Canucks have lots of salary cap issues

I see the lineups ending up in the following:

D.Sedin, H. Sedin, Burrows

Booth, Kesler, Higgins

Burrows ,Schroeder, Hansen

Santorelli, Richardson, Ferriero

Dman pairings:

Hamhuis, Edler

Garrison, Bieksa

Tanev, Corrado

The fact the 2nd line was centered by Lapierre and Ebbett for the bulk of last season may have something to do with people thinking the team will score more goals this year.

A healthy Booth could also be a factor particularly if Kesler is healthy and the Canucks find the right playmaker (Schroeder?) to play RW on that line - Kassian and Schroeder a year older and more experienced to factor in, Garrison without a groin injury and comfortable with his new team... Edler also (hopefully) not starting the season coming off three months of recovering from a back injury. Hansen showed he has untapped upside....Higgins can be more productive...really, there are a number of guys who could easily have more productive seasons than last year - not really much of a stretch.

The Canucks don't desperately need to add anyone - they simply need HEALTH, their top 7 or 8 forwards to produce at their average, their blueline to continue to do what they do, and one or two of their young players to step up and score 30+ points, and they'll be looking quite good actually.

In essence what you are saying is virtually no Canuck had a career year or played above their career standards last year. No wonder the coach got fired?

Perhaps Schneider, Hansen and Tanev...

It does stand to reason that most of Kesler, Burrows, Bieksa, Edler, the Sedins, cough Booth cough, and Edler will return much closer to their normal standard even if they don't have career years. Its extremely logical that we will get improvement from Booth, Kesler and Kassian. And yes, simply having three centres in the line up will increase our scoring.

I'm also willing to bet one of Jensen (my tip), Gaunce or Schroeder, perhaps also Santorelli, will make a positive impact on our scoring?

But adding a top 6 winger who has several 30 and 40 goal seasons also would not hurt...
