canuckbeliever Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Aaron Portzline @Aportzline · 9m9 minutes ago Heard from two different sources tonight that #CBJ are shopping D James Wisniewski around the #NHL, trying to move before Monday's deadline.

Pears Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Makes sense as to why he was a healthy yesterday. Not really sure what we could give for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Good second pairing RD. Only 2 years left on contract after this season, can produce a lot of offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Good Offensive d man, but will cost a lot. Could see TBL going after him or maybe MTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Some NHL GM's would be all over Jarmo Kek if this is true. For the Canucks, no, but teams like Anaheim, Tampa, and Detroit will definitely be inquiring about him. 5 mil for 2 years is far from a burden.

Trebreh Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 if the fans want no part of Skinner due to being injury prone... we should stay as far away from Wisnewski as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboose Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Rakell and a 1st? Maybe a 1st is a bit much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 There where rumours of Detroit looking for a top 4 RHD in Myers. Wisniewski would make sense for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayRayDown Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 31 already so not a good fit for Canucks although Edler-Tanev Hamhuis-Wisniewski Stanton/Sbisa-Bieksa Would be a solid D group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noseforthenet Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Offensive Dman with a chip on his shoulder. Maybe he just doesn't want to play for Columbus anymore? I'd take him if the cost isn't too great. Anybody have any feedback on his skating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Offensive Dman with a chip on his shoulder. Maybe he just doesn't want to play for Columbus anymore? I'd take him if the cost isn't too great. Anybody have any feedback on his skating?From what I can remember, the knock on Wiz has been that he "skates like a forward" meaning that his mobility is great when he's joining on offense (and moving forward) but on D, and skating backwards, he's not nearly as mobile. However, you'd hope that by the time a defenseman is north of thirty, he's found a way to improve that kind of weakness (although I don't know if he has).

Master Mind Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 We could use more offence from the blue line, but teams like Anaheim and Detroit would out-bid us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Detroit will be calling about him for sure. Hard to judge his value though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_74 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Didn't Wisniewski play for ANA a while back? Im gonna say no for the Canucks based on his two stupid plays that got him suspended. The First one was charging Brent Seabrook when he didnt have the puck, in retaliation to a hit on Perry And the other one when he told Sean Avery to "Suck it" demonstrated by a gesture on how to (Which i honestly did find extremely amusing haha) Link to Wisniewski telling Avery to "Suck it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Would love Wisnewski in Vancouver. He would really help the out on the PP and even strength but the cost would probably be too high for our liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
