(Proposal) Re-Tool and Contend. Fully Torqued


Recommended Posts

Hire John Stevens as head coach after LA is either eliminated or wins the cup

-Stevens is a young coach that has been apart of LA for a couple years. Recently won the cup and LA is a perennial cup contender each year now. Maybe he can turn this team around.

Buyout LW David Booth

-been a bust here. Not worth his contract and taking up a roster spot.

Before draft:Trade Kesler to Anaheim

Vancouver: C Ryan Kesler, D Ryan Stanton

Anaheim: D Shea Theodore, OTT 1st(10th), ANA 1st(24th)

-Anaheim is apparently offering a package like this for Kesler. Kes gives them a solid 2nd line C that can shut down other teams top lines. Stanton gives them a solid depth option that can step up into the top 4.

-Vancouver gets a young offensive defenseman from the Vancouver area as well as some good picks in the draft. Getting younger and stocking the prospect pool quickly.

Draft day: Trade up for a top 2 pick

Vancouver: RW Niklas Jensen, D Frank Corrado, VAN 1st(6th), VAN 2n(36th)

Buffalo: D Christian Ehrhoff, BUF 1st(2nd)

-Buffalo is asking for 2 top prospects for their 1st this year. Corrado gives them a very solid young defenseman to add to their small group of defensive prospects and the 6th pick. Ehrhoff's contract isn't that bad. He doesn't have a NTC so in a few years we can trade him making room for Shea Theodore. Our PP hasn't been the same without him. If we want to contend, Ehrhoff will help us to do that.

Draft C Sam Reinhart 2nd overall

-future 1st line center. Vancouver native

Draft LW Jake Virtanen 10th overall

-also a Vancouver native. Hard hitting top 6 goal scorer

Draft D Jack Dougherty 24th overall

-solid all around defenseman.

Offseason: Trade Alex Edler for a top 6 winger

Vancouver: D Alex Edler, RW Jannik Hansen, D Patrick McNally

Boston: LW Louie Eriksson, RW Jared Knight

-Boston was looking at acquiring Edler at the deadline. Now that Jennings is our new GM a deal could be possible. Eriksson and Edler both didn't have good years. Eriksson isn't part of Boston's top 6 anymore with the emergence of Reilly Smith and isn't suited for a bottom 6 role.

Thanks for the proposal. Its hard putting something like this up when you have 50 guys ripping you a new one.

I like the young skill you got us. However, your lineup has no hope of making the playoffs. Its a one line team with no goalie.

I dont see the point of bringing in Loui . Let Jensen play there.

Hard to not get ripped a new one when you're from Connecticut...

Edler for Eriksson could make sense but the Bruins would have no interest in Hansen. They are cap strapped as it is and and even without Hansen they are adding salary in this deal.

You yourself said that the Sabres are looking for "top" prospects in order to deal their pick. I don't consider either Corrado or Jensen as top prospects, they are good prospects but they lack elite potential. The Canucks top prospects are Horvat and Shinkaruk.

Hate to be that guy, but the Sabres have an excellent stack of defensive prospects. They have Zadorov, Pysyk, Ristolainen, McCabe and Ruhwedel...not to mention Tyler Myers. They are considerably more stacked on D than we are.
