Absent Canuck Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Pff they should just give him the entire Salary cap and Ice this lineup: Orange Pylon - off Orange Pylon - Conical Pylon Square Pylon - Green Pylon - Triangular Pylon Teal Pylon - Yellow Pylon - Red Pylon Cylindrical Pylon - Trapezoidal Pylon - Foam Pylon Shiny Pylon - Little Pylon Big Pylon - Plastic Pylon Nerf Pylon - Glow in the dark Pylon Luongo Broken Pylon That is Cup winning roster!!!

Dogbyte Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 You can't apply the Moneyball strategy to hockey like you can baseball due to the nature of both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
мeтpо Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Good thinking. This could very well work. Let's hope Gillis or Gilman sees this. The Canucks need a cup and this will definitely do it for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmy Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Worked for Florida when they expanded into the league. A team full of NHL cast-offs that made it to the SCF. I don't believe it takes an expensive roster to win the cup, just the right mix of players; the Canucks simply don't have that "right" mix yet.

GrogZilla Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Moneyball signings in hockey = checkers or pp specialists Well rounded hockey players aren't a secret. You're basically suggesting we try to emulate the Coyotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BI3KSA- Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 To be able to compete in today's cap market, MG needs to think out of the box. He should hire an economist who is good in statistics. Not necessarily a hockey guy but it will help. Then the guy should look for players that are much cheaper than today's Canuck superstars that can simulate their output in groups. No-name, amateurs or has-beens that are collectively good in particular aspects of the game. After this, trade the Sedins, Kesler, Hamhuis, Garisson, Luongo and the other stars for high picks. There will be some growing pains but this idea will ensure Canuck domination in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustapha Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 It "worked" for Florida, Calgary and Edmonton and then they didn't make the playoffs for a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
