Posted this in another thread but I think this could work if Jake and Sven are good to go:

Sedin - Sedin - Kassian

Virtanen - Bonino - Vrbata

Baertschi - Horvat - Burrows

Kenins - Matthias - Hansen/Dorsett

We could be a seriously deep team next year.

lol @ Kassian on the first line.

Benning tried his best to trade Kassian but couldn't find any takers. I highly doubt Kassian is on the 1st line next year. I even doubt he's a Canuck next year.

No takers vs not sufficient enough offers are two different things. I'm under the impression that no one offered enough of an offer to make JB trade Kassian. I'm sure if Kassian was available for a 7th rounder, everyone would have made that trade.

Kassian is already a fan favorite among many fans. If a trade is made that involves Kassian, it better be a massive overpayment by the other team or the fans will remember this for a long time.

I think Virtanen and Kassian to guys who like to throw the body around... on the same line...with Horvat

I think Hansen is better suited as a winger for Horvat because of his speed and defensive abilities. I agree that Virtanen alongside Horvat might work well because Virtanen can do everything Kenins can do plus he is much bigger and has higher offensive skill level. The question is, is Virtanen going to be ready to play and defend against the NHL's best players? If Kenins can do it, why not Virtanen?

Would be exciting to see this line next season: Virtanen-Horvat-Hansen

2) Trade our 1st round pick + Cassels + Sbisa's rights for the 7th overall pick. Whichever struggling team it is, they'll want youth and that's what Cassels/Sbisa are. Draft Strome. Keep him cooking in the OHL for a year, he'll be our future 1st line center (not Cassels).

In what world is the Canucks 1st round pick plus some quantity get you an elite centre prospect?

That struggling team will want the 7th round pick.

Next year

Sedins Kass

Burr ------ Vrbata

Matthias Boho Hansen

---- Rich Dorsett

Edler ----

Hamhuis Corrado/Clendening

Sbisa? Bieksa

Lack

-----

Out not because I dislike these players but because they can be replaced by youth and have trade value higher than their leadership value.

Bonino, Tanev, Higgins, Miller. Leaving 12m+ to spend on a 2c and 1st pairing D to support the youth movement.

For the sake of example

Sedins Kass

Matthias Hanzal Vrbata

Burr Bo Hansen

Vrt Rich Dorsett

Edler Fransen

Hamhuis Corrado

Sbisa Juice

Lack

Markstrom/Vet

Baertschi/Virtanen - Horvat - Burrows

Kenins - Gaunce - Dorsett/Hansen

Jensen, Conacher

Edler - Tanev

Hamhuis - Corrado/Clendening

Hutton/Pedan - Bieksa

Miller

I would like to see some young guys in our Line-Up. A good mix of Veterans and "young-guns".

I'm sorry about Sbisa, but he's a weakness in our defense.

Trade: Higgins

Sign: Tanev, Corrado, Clendening, Stanton, Matthias, McMillan (yeah, I like him.. he play with so much passion, I would like to see him after the off-season)

You really believe Pedan and Hutton will play in front of Stanton or be upgrades over sbisa? Hutton has been noted for poor defensive play at the college level, I don't see it magically becoming adequate over the summer.

Stanton is a steady #6 guy. He's about as good as any #6 on any team in the league, with a few exceptions (NYR, for example) IMO. Sbisa had a rough start to the year but since January he's been pretty reliable, especially considering the increased TOI and responsibilities he was getting. If we can have him on a reasonable contract, maybe 2.5 mill on a bridge type contract as his offensive numbers leave much to be desired, then I'd be glad to have him back.

Higgins cannot play Center or Right Wing. Well he can play them but he's horrible at it, self admittedly to boot. I think either he or Mattias are expendable and I'd rather have Mattias by a landslide even if we pay a bit more.

Sedins. Sedin. Kassian

Bonino. Matthias. Vrbata

Baerche. Horvat. Burrows

Kenins. Richardson Hansen

Edler Tanev

Hamhuis Beiksa

Sbisa. Corrado

I think Matthias is a Better center then bonino both in face offs and controlling the play. And I think Higgins is the odd man out to be moved. I think Horvat on the third line with more offensively gifted players might help generate more scoring chances

baerchi is a top six not a bottom six player hes gonna be on our 2nd line

virtanen gets a nine game audition and we probably never look back cuz this kids gonna stick

kenins horvat and hansen will be our third line this lines carrying team to playoffs

fiddler would be a good 4 th line center at least hes unreal at faceoffs and pretty gritty

id package make 2 package trades one for a better second line center and second trade for a decent top 4 dman

bonino, vey, tanev ( hes wants to much$$) jensen higgins markstrom, richardson, mattias ( he wants to be on a second line or third) sbisa, dorsett are 10 decent pieces that can be flipped for pieces we need more of really good 2nd line center who wins draws and a ppqb stud dman plus a few draft picks can be had

baerchi sedin kass

sedin new center vrbata

kenins horvat hansen

gaunce fiddler virtanen

edler corrado

hamhuis clendening

hutton bieska

stanton

miller

lack

the youth movement has started its line to cut the fat off the core we can get a ton of draft picks on top of better puck possesion from winning more faceoffs
