vantbl Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The d core is definitely the most weak part of the team. I think if we want to improve it we need a pmd and a big body hard nosed puck clearing defenseman. Right now are d Cores size is average at best. Besides edler most of our d men are 6foot and 200 pounds. Look at teams like kings and the bruins. They all have big defenseman who push guys away from the net. How many times against the kings have we seen where it looks like we have an open net and a guy like Mitchell or Greene get a stick on it. Right now there are many cheap options that shouldn't take more then a mid round pick and mid level prospect A guy I want is grossmann 6 foot 4 230 pounds. Plays a very sound defensive game while being very physical. Could play in our top 4 if needed to. Him and Hamhuis be a very good shut down pairing. The only problem is that the flyers d core is worse then ours and they might not want to give him up There are other guys on the flyers like Coburn and Shenn. Coburn is a nice big guy who brings a bit of an offensive game but could cost us a lot. And Shenn is young but is a bit of an pilon I would also go after Mitchell if he wasn't so injury prone and take up that much cap A cheaper guy we could go after is Brewer. They have a long jam of young nhl ready defenseman so they could be willing to give him up. He is also a Bc boy and could bring good leadership to our d core Younger guys like Dillion Cowen Sustr Oleksiak But they will cost a lot and some older guys like McQuaid Harrison Phillipsdo you guys think we need a big d man and which one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William_Clarkson Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Pretty good idea. Preferably a younger one, since we don't have many D prospects. Although the price will be fairly steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckswithcup Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 For older Dman they may be a bit cheaper I wouldn't mind trying to get either Hejda @ 6'4 or Salvador @ 6'3. Better yet before I'd trade for a one of them how about see if we sign Jovanovski if we do sign him and we do fall out of the playoffs near the deadline trade him for a pick. But for younger Dman I wouldn't mind one of the following Myers, Staal, Aulie or Petry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 young n cheepish would be trying to get Myers or Larsson however Buff and NJ may just wait for their stock to rise again. Buff is prob more desperate of the 2 as they already gave Myers his payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I like Cowen but who's going to sit? Sbisa? Stanton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William_Clarkson Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I like Cowen but who's going to sit? Sbisa? Stanton? One of them would have to be involved in a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disaronno Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Mark Stuart would be a great option. Likely a deadline deal if we are still in contention & he would have to waive his NTC. D-Core: Edler - Stuart Hamhuis - Tanev Sbisa - Bieksa EX: Stanton, Weber, Corrado [Call-up if needed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockhart Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I was hoping we were going to sign Bryan Allen when he was a UFA, he would have been a good fit for the 3rd pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I'd go for Jay Harrison. Big, strong guy with wheels who has played top minutes in Carolina before (still top-4 now). He would make a good, versatile #7 D at worst (can both move the puck or play physically, though the latter should be his greatest strength). Said it before and I'll say it again, hope J.B. gets Harrison and Riley Nash from the Canes. Good right-handed center with upside and solid top-6 D-man.

But for younger Dman I wouldn't mind one of the following Myers, Staal, Aulie or Petry. Sorry, I think Myers is a dud. You probably see him as a reclaimation project, tho'. If Miller doesn't vouch for him,..who would know better. Juice & Hammer played with him at the World Championships too,.. where he was the team's weakest link. I believe Myers is completely over-rated. Size ain't always - everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
