combover Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 this team needs so much now. realistically three top six forwards. i like higgins and hansen kassian but they are not top 6 guys. the only proven guys are kes dan hank and bur (if he can regain some form dan and bur). there isn't a single guy in the system thats a PROVEN top six jensen is going good right now but who knows if that will translate to the nhl. same goes for any of the prospects who will more than likely get a year with AHL club. total lack of finish and skill on this current club gillis/ aquallini has filled this team with mediocre 3rd liners and over spent on average d men. tough times ahead. glad they didn't trade kes for another third liner in sutter, that would have been terrible.

Noseforthenet Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 So since the Devils are now picking 30th, if they get any lower than the Nucks in the standings, Van's spot will jump 1. Happy for that. Want someone in the top 10 for the draft this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Sedins Kass Higg Stasney Kesler Gaunce Matthias Burr Booth Lain Hansen No need to rush Bo Ho, Jensen is finally improving, Shink had a set back. Imo Stas is the perfect fit for Kes. Matthias Gaunce Burr is going to drive teams Mad. Booth wont be bought out or he would have been already. This is a big fast and much younger team.

slappipappi Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Kane + Toews + Krejci are all unrestricted free agents. Canucks can get all of them if they can dump the twins. </span></span> Actually none are UFA's.And none are leaving their current team to play for Vancouver.

brian42 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The Canucks will have some extra cap space but not as much as people think. The Luongo trade only frees up aproximately 1.5 million in cap space. mathias + marks tom = 3million + 800k in retained salary The cap is going up but the Canucks will be giving a lot of raises sounds wrong giving how they've been performing. Sedins, Hansen, Kassian, Tanev, Lack and possibly Shroeder the sedins and Hansen is 3 million alone +aprox. about 2.5 million for the others obviously the sedan contact looks horrible now and 4 more years too the sharks gave thornton and marleau less per year and only for 3 years horrible contract yet another reason to fire MG I also think Hansen should have been moved to free up 2.5 million in cap to bring in some scoring. anyways my lineup would be seeing as were stuck with the twins and burr let's hope they can bounce back at least a little Sedins Burrows Santo Schenn(kesler trade) Vanek Higgins Horvat Kassian Sestito Richardson Mathias same D hopefully minus Edler Lack Markstrom One great thing though is wee only have 2.4 million tied up in cap space 3.2 if you include Luongo so hopefully that can be used for goal scorring like Vanek or someone high end because we need scoring badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Sedin- Sedin - Burr Kassian - Stephan - Cammalleri Goc - Horvat - Higgins Hansen - Richards - J.T. Miller Tostito Hammer- Tanev Edler- Corrado Garrison - Bieksa Stanton Trades: TO NYR- Kesler To VAN Stephan, JT Miller, 1st rounder 2014 (this was apparently the actual offer) UFAs: Sign Cammalleri, Goc, Halak Lack Halak This is a Cup winning line up, IMO. All players with strong underlying #'s, meaning they'll be a top 3 puck possession team. Jensen can be 1st call up when players gets injured. I don't think this team needs a rebuild, but they need to get full value for Kesler. That means he's gonna have to expand his list of teams. They also have to fire Torterella - he's not the coach for this team (or any team IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuongo Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Sedin - Sedin - Kass Higgins - Kesler - UFA Shinkeruk - Santo - Jensen? Sestito - Matthias - Hansen? Burr and Booth can go. Maybe slot Shink and Jensen somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksCup2015 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Mike Gillis is going to show us all he is a master GM and pull off some of the biggest trades the NHL has ever seen! Here's my projected line up based on what I think Gillis can get done: Ovechkin - Crosby - Stamkos P. Kane - Toews - Tavares Duchene - Malkin - Bergeron Lucic - Getzlaf - Perry Doughty - Weber Kieth - Karlsson Hedman - Subban Price Quick He'd then trade them all for 2nd and 3rd round draft picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing哥 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 It just hate to bother me that you guys are pencilling in Higgins and Hansen for the fourth line... like literally ANY line-up they are premier third line players with excellent two way ability. just forced to play out of position in the top 9 roles.

Trebreh Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Say there is no Kesler deal to be made, i'd go with this lineup. Buyout: Booth Free agency: Santorelli - he was a good story this year but nothing more than a bottom 6 forward on a contending team. Trades: Burrows + Richardson at the draft for draft picks. Free Agent Signing: Thomas Vanek or Gaborik D.Sedin - H.Sedin - N.Jensen H.Shinkaruk - R.Kesler - T.Vanek C.Higgins - B.Horvat - Z.Kassian T.Sestito - S.Matthias - J.Hansen D.Hamhuis - J.Garrison K.Bieksa - A.Edler R.Stanton - C.Tanev E.Lack J.Markstrom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo882 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Booth-Kesler-Jensen Matthias-Santorelli-Kassian Higgins-Horvat-Burrows Archibald/Lain-Richardson-Hansen Schroeder/Grenier as call-ups Hamhuis-Garrison/Edler (whoever doesn't get traded/bought out) Bieksa-Tanev Stanton-Corrado/Weber This lineup has the perfect amount of speed, skill, and grit. Kesler -captain. Needs to be the guy we build around (passionate, hard-working, skilled) Booth - love his speed and he has shown some toughness this year (believe he leads team in hits). Might live up to expectations with more ice time on first line and 2 talented linemates Jensen - give him a full year on the first line to show his stuff Horvat- let him run with third line duties where he can showcase both his defensive and offensive abilities. Would sure be a great third line with Higgy and Burr. All 3 are great 2-way forwards and the 2 vets would be great mentors for Horvat. Hansen- a must keep for a retool built that needs to be built on speed, hard work and 2-way play. drop him back down to the fourth line. This is where he is best suited. Give him more specialty team minutes where he thrives. Corrado- time for a full NHL season to see what he's really made of Trade Sestito. Useless goon who gets the team in trouble with stupid penalties. Lain or Archibald can do the fighting next year along with Juice who always loves to go at it. Keep Weber as 7th D. He's young, speedy, and skilled and can plug in on the PP every once in a while. Give Fox, Gaunce, Shinkaruk a full year in Utica to develop and use Schroeder and Grenier as call-ups. Give Shroeder some top minutes in Utica to start the year to get his confidence back and refine his skills. Tricky to fit him into the Canucks lineup full-time due to an abundance of Centers but still a good skilled depth player to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
