Derp... Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Everyone is making Vrbata proposals, and I don't see us trading him this year, but next year I wouldn't mind trading him to Detroit if they want one last kick with there core. He would fit well with their team mold and they have a lot of good prospects already. Van - Vrbata Det - Tyler Bertuzzi - 2015/16 1st rd pick Bertuzzi is down on their depth chart for LW and he brings pretty good size and skill that we could use in our canucks of the Future. We could then take BPA with our pick and select a Good Dman with Detroit first in either 2015 or 2016 Bertuzzi stats http://www.ontariohockeyleague.com/roster/show/id/9115 I know we need more D prospects, but we gotta see what Hutton, McNally, Subban, McEneny, Tryamkin & Pedan have too.

Plum Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Not too bad, I think Detroit isn't the team to make trades like that. By next year they're hoping to get Mantha some time in the NHL maybe Larkin is in the AHL by then and they'll have Nyquist, Tatar, Jurco and Sheahan playing pretty big roles on their team. They'll probably be trading for some top 6 players that are younger than Vrbata because they can't just have those guys fill in for Datsyuk and Zetterberg that quickly, they just don't have that much talent but could probably produce with a 1st liner on a spot up there.

I know what you mean, but it's not often you can add a 30 goal scorer to your team especially if you want to try and win with Datsyuk and Zetterberg 1 more time.

Yeah, I would do it. Tyler Bertuzzi would bring some jam to our prospect pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Benning is reportedly attempting to land a top-6 player in short order, so why would he trade one away? Even if next year, how likely is it we'll have an "extra" to deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Value is there, I'd do it in a heartbeat but we need to do that trade if we know someone is going to replace Vrbata. No one is capable of doing that. Maybe Burrows, but he's regressed to a third line checker for our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a legit chance of being top 6 don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 What about Shinky or Jensen by the end of next year? They have a legit chance of being top 6 don't they? Have you seen their stat lines in the AHL no way their even 15 goal scorers in the nhl next season. Frankly Hunter S needs another year or 2 in the A and I don't see enough drive from Jensen for a guy as strong and fast as he is, he looks like he's out for a public skate.

Gurn Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Burrows would be fine with the twins, guy is on pace for 20 goals playing the bottom 3 lines, with some power play time. Also still a damn fine pk and forechecker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You uhhhmmm...kinda just described our top 6 over the last 22 games or so And some of our top 4 as well. At least these young kids will bring something different to this pre packaged club of contract holders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they aren't ready next year, but we are really talking about trading him at the 2016 deadline after Shinkaruk and Jensen have had more time to develop. Jensen has a shot at being ready for the 2015 2016 season, but he will need a really strong second half and a great playoff performance with Utica in my opinion.

Burnsey Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I don't really understand these Vrbata trades. I thought we lacked offense? Why we trade (as you put it) a 30goal scorer? We need another top 6 guy, without losing one otherwise we might as well stay put really. Stanton and Weber should be the ones we should look at moving. Corrado hasn't looked out of place really, and with Hamhuis back our defense should be improving quite a bit. Not to mention we have about 8 d-men up here atm (Edler, Tanev, Bieksa, Stantion, Hamhuis, Sbisia, Stanton, Weber, Stanton). I'm not sure we'd be able to get a top 6 guy regardless tbh. It's hard to grab a top 6 guy with what our team has/is prepared to offer. Also, it'll be interesting to see what happens in the next 5-7 games. If Matthias and Boninio can continue and build on their chemistry maybe that'll be the top 6 we need? It's all up in the air atm haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 sounds like a good deal but don't think we signed Vrbata to trade him.If we tank or near 8th spot only then if it was me I'd do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
