Cunuck Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 People are seriously complaining about Higgins? He's one of the hardest working members on this team and can move up and down the lineup. He is the perfect third liner who can play the second line if need be.

ImallinRU Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Getting Morrow is a no brainer. Not sure what Gillis is thinking here??? There is no one in our organization who can come in and give us what Morrow can bring this year. Schroeder is not what we need at all in the middle, at 5'8 forget about it... Bo & Gaunce will be there soon but as teenagers it's atleast 1 year to soon. Our biggest hoe is our 3rd line centre which is not an easy hole to fill & it's been a whole since Manny. If we are looking to plug in some youth it could be on a wing but the only guy I see helping us this year is Hunter. He is our most talented scorer which we could use some more off as well.

grandmaster Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Morrow would be an excellent fit here. Terrific leader and still produces. He still had 14 points in 15 games last season. Morrow also gives us an edge in physicality while still being responsible on the ice. This is a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunuck Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 No complaining for now, but in 2 years. Plus a little bit for his playoff performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 People realize that the cap will be going up quite a bit in 2 years right? Higgins at 2.5 mil will still be a good deal, even if he's on the fourth line. Which I doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sampy Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 What's the rumored asking price for Morrow? If Cleary is worth 2.7 to Philly, how much is Morrow worth? The same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blömqvist Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Daniel - Henrik - Kassian Burrows - Kesler - rookie (Jensen/Shinkaruk) Booth - Schroeder - Morrow Higgins - Richardson - Hansen Tostito's Schroeder, by all accounts, isn't effective on the wing and will not supplant Kesler as 2nd line center. This leaves the third line as the only line available, since the other center spots are taken by Henrik, Kesler, and Richardson. That being said, Schroeder is not suited for a third lone shutdown role. That is the main dilemma regarding Schroeder, that is, he fits nowhere. Signing Brendan Morrow will solve this dilemma and give Schroeder the third line center spot. Much like how Hodgson was used in a third line scoring role, Schroeder should be used the same way. Pairing him with big wingers who get to the front of the net will provide Schroeder time and space to use his offensive skills, which will provide dividends as there will be less pressure for the Sedins and Kesler to score. "The offense is good, but what about our shutdown line?" you ask? Higgins, Richardson, and Hansen will form our traditional two-way/shutdown line, but due to depth will be called the fourth line. They will still play 10-15 minutes per night, so our so called traditional third line will still be there. The only thing different in this idea is scrapping the First/Second/Third/Fourth line traditional hockey roles and forming lines with offense, defense, and two-way capabilities. Essentially, we're moving away from roles and moving towards maximizing depth and capabilities with a roster including Morrow, Schroeder, and another impact rookie.

tas Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 people putting morrow on the 3rd line are silly. he's a huge downgrade from both higgins and hansen and thus would only fit on the 4th line, for under a million, and at that point i'd rather someone younger, more durable and with better wheels.

GLASSJAW Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Would LOVE Morrow to Vancouver. Even sign him for a two year deal if it means getting him a bit cheaper. Can play on any line, has leadership qualities and history, can kill penalties, can hit, can score a few goals, will block shots. He can do EVERYTHING the Canucks need players to do with more consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmaster Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 This. Morrow is aging, and getting slower. He will struggle to put up points, so the only reason we would sign him would be for a physical, as well as a leadership, role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
