canucks224 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 ask Edmonton how that works with their ready now prospects and 0 vets...need vets to provide the leadership to the young guns or you become a bigger mess then currently are Man Edmonton screwed up big time. They didnt draft a good goalie nor a defense all they drafted was offense and secondly they hired a couch that didnt have nhl experience. Im saying we trade 3-4 core parts and keep people like Lu, Bieksa, Burr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon4401 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Man Edmonton screwed up big time. They didnt draft a good goalie nor a defense all they drafted was offense and secondly they hired a couch that didnt have nhl experience. Im saying we trade 3-4 core parts and keep people like Lu, Bieksa, Burr. and last year when they had a proper coach? year before? not a coaching problem but yes agreed there goaltending and defence their major problem I keep the Sedins, Kesler, Hamhuis, Bieksa, Garrison, Luongo and of course all our young players and prospects...doesent leave much right? We don't need a 2way player we need a player like Turris to take the 2nd line center and allows Kesler with the Sedins...best line we have had but caused us to have no depth in the lineup Burrows needs to go back to LW 2nd or 3rd line depending on Higgins...Kassian is a 2nd line RW...with the current players this is how our lines should be when healthy Sedin-Sedin-Kesler Higgins-Schroeder-Kassian Burrows-Richardson-Hansen Sestito-Lain-Archibald That's actually some decent lines if Schroeder continues his current play and Burrows is still a heart and soul player need him to regain that form he is a great 3rd/2nd line winger regardless of points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Bearer Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 There's no way the Avs trade O'reilly for Edler. He's a 23 yr old kid who is just starting scratch the surface of what he can become. I doubt Eds would wave his NTC anyway. The time has come to make a significant trade but ROR wont be in VCR anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazzy_rocks23 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The problem is that GMMG has handcuffed himself severly with terrible contracts that include no-movement clauses. He's reluctant to trade our youth, unless we get a young allstar coming our way (ROR, Evander). That likely won't be happening either, unless he can convince Alex Edler to waive his NTC and package him and with a young prospect to get a decent top-6.

Mike Vanderhoek Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I would even take a couple lateral moves at this point just to get some new attitudes in the room. I think the Canucks will see likely one or two of these type moves. Maybe a bigger piece moves in the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either that, or letting guys lIke bieksa walk free, Not signing Jason Garrison Can't argue the Hamhius signing. Were not letting Edler walk after that season. you guys don't make sense.

Fozzy Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Rebuild requires extreme patience and tolerance. 5-8 years of being the leagues punching bag. So we'll be competitive again around 2019-2022, see you then. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadiangunner Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Edler to Detroit for mantha helm and first. Then burrows to mtl for lars eller. It s a good re-tool and injects good youth and cap space into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazzy_rocks23 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 No he didn't those are good contracts. It's either that, or letting guys lIke bieksa walk free, Not signing Jason Garrison Can't argue the Hamhius signing. Were not letting Edler walk after that season. you guys don't make sense. Hindsight 20/20 -Burrows contract is terrible, he'll proably never score 20 goals again with the canucks. 2 year deal wouldve been appropriate. I love the guy and his heart/soul, but we all know the Sedins earned him that contract, and he wouldn't have scored all those goals if he wasn't playing with them. -We all know Roberto's contract isn't ideal -Hamhuis, Garrison, Edler,and Bieksa's contracts were alright at the time, but the no-movement clauses doesn't give the Canucks any chance to move on if need be, which they certainly could right now. The ball is in Edler's court where he wants to go if GMMG chooses to move him. At this point, who knows if GMMG asks Bieksa to be moved. He would bring us a decent return, great post-season addition for a playoff team. -The Sedins, although great players, will never be the same again. The game is evolving and they simply don't have the footspeed. Mark my word, their contract extensions will hamper this team in the next few years. GMMG shouldve waited longer to re-sign them, to see how this year played out. IMO, NTC or no-movement clauses should only be handed out to a handful of players on your team. The devleopemnt of prospects and other players brought in (Tanev, Stanton,) can make other players expandable in the future. Times like these the Canucks could move some guys that coud bring a decent return. My point is that GMMG could have made it much easier on himself for trading certain assets if he didnt attached such a long terms, high salaries, and no-movement clauses for players that are over the hill, and on the downslopes of their careers. Yes the Sedins, Burrows, Edler have had terrific years in the past. But the game is constantly changing, other teams are getting better. GMMG isn't exactly adapting to how the game is changing. Check out his latest TEAM1040 interview, he even hints at that! The Canucks are at a point now that they must look at all potential trade options if they still want to be relavent in this league. Gillis has tried to keep this core intact for too long. Change is needed, and a couple players will get traded that certain fans will probably get a little upset or emtional with. This is a business and when guys arent earning the money they are making, you have to explore all options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 move the Sedins, Booth, Edler, Bieksa, Burrows and Luongo. Get the rebuild started. The nucks are just getting boring to watch. They have all the passion of a checkers game. So, move two players with a combined contract of $14 and are having near-career lows, a plug who we can't lose to save our life and has no trade value, a D-man who has done little to nothing all season, a forward who has not managed to score a goal all season, and a goalie we've proven before that we cannot move. Add to that the fact all players have NTCs. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
