TheHitman Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Would rather the Canucks go after someone like Ribeiro or Cammaleri to play with the Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peejay Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I really prefer not to acquire a deadline player. I actually like the Canucks be a seller at the deadline. The prices are high, and you can get a first rounder for players like Higgins or Richardson. Canucks will not win it this year, so it is a good time to retool and give some of the prospects a chance.

Bruce Boudreau Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Get Edler to waive his no trade to play with his countryman Ekman-Larsson and trade him for Yandle. Add in a pick or prospect if you have too. Second option get a guy who can snipe like Evander Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferlands_Head Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It's not enough, we need a puck moving D AND a top 6 forward. It's a joke how some people on here seem to think that a "second" line of Higgins Kesler and Santorelli can get it done in the playoffs and calling them the "best 2nd line in the league" during their hot streak.

Frazzy Desjardins Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I think Ehrhoff only had 1-2 points after the Nashville series, he was a good regular season pmd. We not only need a good PMD, we need one who can step his game up in clutch situations and who is a strong leader. I know they don't grow on trees but those DMen u mentioned OP aren't just pmd's. They are stud number one DMen. Every cup winner/dynasty has at least one, the only cup winner in recent memory that I can think of that didn't have a stud number one D was Carolina and I believe that was an anomaly. Ehrhoff never was the answer. Look at what he is doing In buffalo? Lol him and Edler just had good chemistry. We need to go all in and try to pry a number one d man from somewhere. Gotta be patient though, it's not happening this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I would take Erhoff back with open arms. Ehrhoff won't leave the team that "gives him the best chance to win the cup". Besides, I think he's overrated here and wouldn't want the contract term that comes with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanGnome Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Provided we can convince Edler to waive to play with Ehrhoff VAN Tyler Myers BUF Alex Edler 1st round pick Boom, done. When healthy: Hamhuis Myers Garrison Tanev Stanton Bieksa Corrado Weber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 OP makes a good case. Several of our D (Edler, Hamhuis, Tanev, Stanton) have a reasonable to good first pass, but none is good enough to count as a "puck-mover" let alone a PP quarterback type. Other problems with our D are that they aren't physical enough and can't clear the net and that we don't really have a water-tight shutdown pair (as all our late-game collapses show). Even when our D is healthy and playing pretty well, it feels more like D by committee rather than a group where there are clearly defined roles and specializations. There are advantages to both scenarios but I'd prefer to see us move towards a clearer division of labour. This is not going to be easy to do. The NTC are one reason, but another is that even if we manage to move one of our current top six (plus whatever other assets are needed) to pick up a player like Yandle, what we gain in puck movement only exposes us further physically. Realistically, we'd need to make a couple of moves simultaneously and I don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
