-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 According to Jim Matheson: If the Florida Panthers are moving veterans to cut payroll, and they consider Shawn Matthias a veteran of sorts, the Edmonton Oilers might be all over that. They’ve tried to get the six-foot-four, 220-pound centre before and were rebuffed. http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/2013/10/21/this-n-that-edmonton-oilers-would-jump-at-chance-to-acquire-shawn-matthias/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I could see a larger trade, with Yak for Matthias&Petrovic being the centrepiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Rather odd all things considering. Nuge Arcobello Gagner Gordon Acton Kinda wondering what the point is as Arcobello has been outstanding on a terrible team. Strange....but i'd like me some Matthias in Canucks apparel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 He earns just 1.75mil for this season and next, so that 'cutting payroll' reasoning carries no weight. Meanwhile, vets Fleischmann (ntc), Versteeg, Upshall (ntc), Campbell (ntc), Bergenheim and Jovo qualify though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Im still waiting for our own report saying "Canucks in the market for top 6 forwards and a 3rd line center" ..... sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I like when anytime Canucks pick someone up, Gillis comes put and says....

The same Dalpe that couldn't crack the Canes lineup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabatoge95 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 How about Gudbranson and a 2nd rounderfor Yakupov and Matthias I think it is a win win for both teams Edmonton can't trade Matthias to Florida because he already plays for Florida They should try to do a Yakupov for Gudbranson type deal though.

harmer Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 what? you're saying gudbranson and a 2nd... for yakupov and matthias Oh my bad I meant Gudbranson and Matthias for Yakupov and a 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I could see a larger trade, with Yak for Matthias&Petrovic being the centrepiece. More! Need more than Mathias and Petrovic... Plus thats not what Florida is selling IMO. Currency is all that matters. Jovonovski for Hemsky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven pounds soft Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Rather odd all things considering. Nuge Arcobello Gagner Gordon Acton Kinda wondering what the point is as Arcobello has been outstanding on a terrible team. Strange....but i'd like me some Matthias in Canucks apparel Why is it odd? All those centres you named are small. Matthias is big. Exactly what the oilers need. (Not to mention defence, goalie and new management). But that's another story ( thread ) Edit: To edm- Gudbranson and Matthias To Florida- Arcobello, yakupov and a 2014 first round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
