messier's_elbow Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 So our depth at center looks like this. Sedin Bonino Mathias Richardson Vey Horvat Schroeder Cassels McCann If all the youngsters pan out. We might be good in 3-4 years. We need an elite 1st line center in the next draft.

Tangerines Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 We need an elite 1st line center in the next draft. That's what this team is missing the most. After Henrik leaves we're going to need a big point producer up the middle. Reinhart would have been perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure to Mogilny Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 We need an elite 1st line center in the next draft. Like sam reinhart?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The trade is vey for mckeown. Well see how It looks 3-5 years from now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Anyone who thinks we're not gonna spend the 14 million we have through free agency and trades are in for a surprise I think. You really think Aqua keeps the dough in his jeans in this market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I find it funny how most people complaining about trading a 2nd for Vey are the same one's complaining about not getting Etem in the Kes trade. Those two are essentially equal right now.. last year in med.hat Vey: 69-46-70-116 / Etem: 65-61-46-107 last year in AHL Vey: 43-14-34-48 / Etem: 50-24-30-54 Good post. This is a great comparison.

DeNiro Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The trade is vey for mckeown. Well see how It looks 3-5 years from now That assumes Benning would have even chosen McKeown. That's not a certainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinhart would have been perfect. Yes but way too costly. We need the depth of Virtanen,Shinkaruk and McCann. If we tank a bit this year and say come in 5th-8th last we will still have a chance at a number 1 center. Or they could put together a package with the valuable pick to get one via trade that's still young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Burrows can play anything so that's not a problem, the issue is only Jensen and Burrows can play with the Sedins but Burrows will probably be needed on the 2nd line.. Burrows had a whack year, but he's been an automatic 25 goal scorer every other year while being one of our best 2 way players. Incredibly valuable at his price tag. In my opinion as it stands right now it's.. Sedins-Jensen Burrows-Bonino-Vey Higgins-Mathias-Kassian DD-Richardson-Hansen Obviously there's room for the right wings to shuffle up and down, but that's a lot of youth that's for sure. I do think that will be close to the lineup, but I'm not certain about the second line. It's pretty undersized. I guess the solution is to see who is better with Bonino Vey or Kass.

sharnhayre Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 After reading his scouting report, hearing what JB had to say about him and how they targeted him.. I am excited to see what he does for the Canucks and think we will get what we expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Algur Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If McKoewn wasn't taken with this pick I'd be more in favour of this trade. Really hope we don't regret giving up the chance to draft McKoewn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyLow_ Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Anyone who thinks we're not gonna spend the 14 million we have through free agency and trades are in for a surprise I think. That's why I said as it stands now, but I doubt it will be through free agency. There's almost nothing interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From.The.Point Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I just hope we dont have to hear Mckeown>Vey in a couple seasons "if" Mckeown comes on and becomes something special. I wanted canucks to take Mckeown with that pick but I like what JB did and he got a young prospect with some experience under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggs50 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If Benning hits the jackpot with Vey, oh dear lord have mercy. That man will be a saint. Banking on Willie to really help the young guys this year and just improve the whole group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all a lottery picks until the bloom as NHLers. We went for someone further down the road to the NHL and that's where we are at. We need young guys now who can step in and help us. Nobody gives a plugged nickel if McKeown turns out better down the line, we made our choice and folk who don't like it, well too bad. Honestly life's too short for these type of regrets.

Realistically Burrows is a 12-18 goal guy without the Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I would be ecstatic if Burr scored 20 goals this year. I really think we will be scoring by commitee this year though. Having guys like Vey, Kass, Bonino, Higgi, DSedin, all put up 15+ goals would be nice. Maybe even Matthias and Jensen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
