Piggy Bank Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Claim Mike Richards off waivers. Bo Horvat's idol. Bieksa is injured. To Toronto: Nick Bonino To Vancouver: Cody Franson Sedin's Vrb Hig Richards Burr Matt Vey Richardson Dors Horvat Hansen Hamhuis Franson Edler Tanev Stan Corr Mill Lack With Richards at 2C, he will either thrive or we will suck. Draft top 7 without a good 2C. Horvat Develops. Franson is part of a long future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedintwinpowersactivate Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I hope Franson is going to UFA and pulls a Hamhuis and signs with the Canucks at a decent number. We don't give up any assets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyhee Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Was this trolling? First, claim off waivers a 4th liner who carries a cap hit of $5.75 per for the next FIVE seasons after this, presumably because a few years ago he was a good player. Second, as Monty pointed out, trade a player who will be underpaid through 2017 for someone who intends to test the free agent waters as an UFA next summer, expecting $5 million per. Why would we do this? How would we stay under the cap? Unless Richards spent the next five years living up to what he once was and Franson re-signed for a reasonable price, the franchise would be handcuffed for years. That's a huge gamble to take on two things which are both less likely than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
