you know... it is offseason. It wouldn't be a bad idea to make a thread about that. You could list the 20 members and other could chime in who they would rather have than some of the gm's.

I nominate Apollo.

Even if we don't win the cup he'll claim we did and that we're the greatest team to ever play professional sports.

Hopefully come next year, we won't have to imagine. :) I'm in what seems to be the minority of people who wants Lucic here next year, so long as the contract isn't nuts. I think he could add a lot even away from his play on the ice. I would be more than happy seeing Lucic mentor Virt.

it'll be 6.8m min, plus benning so 8m ish

Lucic is slow, has hands of stone. We don't need caveman hockey. What is he going to teach Virtanen? How to spear a player in the pills from behind? run a few goalies? miss open nets? If he was any good, he'd still be in Boston.

I also heard he's a character guy in the handshake line. Good example for the kids.

totally agree.

I don't think anyone's disputing Hanzal's a quality player but you don't trade a Virtanen (who could very well be a better player) for Hanzal particularly given where we are in a retool. Nor given that we just traded for Sutter and have Horvat, McCann, Cassels as quality 2-way C's coming up.

It's not a team need positionally, he's veering in to the wrong age group for where we're headed as a team and Virtanen projects to likely be a better player in ~5 years.

That Hanzal so hot right now..

How are people even considering Hanzal for Virtanen? He plays dirty, is injury prone. NEVER played 82 games, he has played 81 games once in his career. Has never gotten over 40 pts or over 16 goals. And doesnt fill a need on our team at all.

Please stop. You dont trade your top prospect for that.

Perhaps, we should simply ignore these types of proposals? They have zero chance of happening, and they only serve to upset many of us Canuck's fans. Virtanen is already better than (what's the guys name again?) that player proposed.
