canuktravella Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Im starting off on defense Willie mitchell defensive dman can cover up edlers mistakes Joni pitkanen powerplay qb dependable vet Mezaros gritty solid d Goalies brodeur or vokoun to help mentor lack and be solid backups Forwards - Vrbata help our lack of scoring Jagr hes the ageless superman Iginla heart like linden still can get 30 goals Vanek elite talent Callahan plays with heart and grit I hope canucks fire torts, trade or buyout booth, then trade hansen and higgins and edler play with mix of rookies and vets turn around the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotted Zebra Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I don't think Brodeur and Jagr would come to play here, considering travel at their age. Boston will do everything they can to keep Iggy, and I don't think he'd come to Van out of respect for Calgary. Vanek if he doesn't want a deal longer than 3 years which is unlikely. Callahan would be perfect but he'd be asking for first line money which I don't think he should get Vrbata is interesting, kept out of the spotlight in PHX, but a consistent 20-30 goal scorer. If the price is right for a 2 year deal, sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieksa Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Bring back Mitchell + Salo, trade Edler for some offense. Hamhuis - Tanev Mitchel - Bieksa Garrison - Salo 17 minutes a game of heavy shots. (Stanton, Corrado) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saskatchewan Canucks Fan Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Good call on Willie Mitchell. He never crossed my mind since Linden has been brought in. I could see it happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWheeler Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'd rather actually pick up a young stud D (preferably Pouliot) through trade of either Kesler/Edler and have Mitchell solidify that pairing. THAT would be exciting for me. The only other UFA I want is Cammalleri or Vanek. I would prefer Cammalleri though since he is a big game playoff performer historically. The team NEEDS skilled goal scorers. And he would be perfect with Horvat or whichever young C makes the team. Whichever UFA the team goes for, they have to be able to contribute because Vancouver still is a good team. This is not an Edmonton rebuild. They also need to hopefully compliment the youth that we have coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayStation Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Well if LA doesnt want him... @Willie_Mitch33: Congratulations to my old teammate and friend @trevor_linden It's his time, he's ready. @VanCanucks #solidhire #hesgoingtomisshisskitouring Not sure what he has left thought.

TheRussianRocket. Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Think Willie will say with the Kings or retire. With all his injuries and such, think he'd want to leave the game with the team he won the Cup with. Though this is a possibility. Especially with Linden, I see it as a 1/4 ratio of happening.

Keslerific Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'd like to see Willie Mitchell and Marty brought in. Depending on what the plans are with our older players in the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensemen usually have long careers. He has played 75 games, and still has the occasional 24+ minute game. He was never a super offensive player, his defensive game hasn't seemed to slip at all.

diesel_3 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Wouldn't be surprised to see Willie back to finish up his career close to home. Would love Ryan Callahan if he wasn't so damn expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Are you trying to break the oldest team in the nhl record or something??. Yes because jagr at 42 cant score 65 points if you think old is bad your dumb mix of rookes and vets is a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Meszaros for around $3M would appeal to me. If the team can move Edler for help up front and then pair Andrej with Garrison I think we'd have a very solid group in the back end. Hamhuis - Bieksa (strong minute munching top pairing) Meszaros - Garrison (Andrej's a very good puck-mover, and both he and Garry can play both sides and bomb, so with them the PP looks quite lethal!) Stanton - Tanev (shutdown unit with upward mobility) (Weber, physical D) I'd agree with the veteran goalie to tandem with Lack, and Vrbata/ Jagr/ Vanek/ Iggy would all look good here. Radim could become Anson Carter 2.0 with the Twins, and Jagr/ Iggy would be invaluable leadership additions. Suffice to say Vanek would be good, but having three $7M forwards may be too top-heavy, when we also have a bunch of $5M and $4M guys and kids in the future will want to re-sign for money in their prime years. It may not be good cap management to tie so much money and term in a couple players, but I guess it depends on what moves the new GM makes (if any) to trim the expensive depth. I'd pass to your other suggestions (don't need Mitchell unless he took hometown discount; Pitkanen's damaged goods, Callahan won't improve the forward group's skill too much).

Shink should be on the third, Burrows replacing Gaunce, and maybe Gaunce on the 4th. But I would see Shink Burrows and Gaunce always rotating lines like coaches love to do.
