A Quick Efficient Rebuild. [Proposal]


Recommended Posts

So with GMJB officially announced, there are good chances that he and TL will try to make this team a playoff, hard hitting, fast pace, and most of all exciting to watch team.

here's a proposal that might just do that.

* assuming players waive *

VAN: Edler, Shroeder

EDM: Gange

Vancouver does this deal because, desperately need to get rid of Edler. His value is at all time low and he can really produce for us anymore, BUT that doesn't mean he can't produce for other teams that need defensive. We throw in Shroeder because, he's small, gets pushed around and will only ever be a 3rd liner tops.

Edmonton does this because they REALLY need defence, and with the third pick in the draft, odds are Ekblad will not fall that far. I don't think they would use that pick to select Hayden. F that early when they could use this on Bennet or Reinhart.

Now...

VAN Buys out the contract of David Booth.

We sign Paul Stastny at 7.5 mill for 4 yrs

We sign Jussi Jokinen for 3 mill for 2 yrs

We draft one of Virtanen, Ricthie, or Ehlers.

Our lineup,

SEDIN SEDIN KESLER
JOKINEN STASTNY KASSIAN

BURROWS SANTO HIGGINS

HANSEN RICHARDSON SESTITO

please discuss and leave your thoughts, cheers

A "rebuild" with SEDIN, SEDIN KESLER, KASSIAN,BURROWS, HIGGINS, HANSEN, RICHARDSON, and SESTITO?

Do we leave the D in tact? Goal tenders?

Not really a rebuild. More like a paint job.

Sorry. We are looking at four to five years to reap the benefits of a rebuild. Nothing good can come from a "quick" rebuild. It's just kicking the can down the road.

Is there a reason that everyone assumes Stastny will just come here? Why would he choose Vancouver, that's now in a rebuild mode, over the same or slightly less money than Colorado? The Av's have MacKinnon, Landeskog, Tyson Barrie, Duchene, and Patrick Roy as coach.

That's like saying if Toews contract was running out in Chicago he'd want to play in Winnipeg for $10 million a season.
