canucks3322 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I think we could get a first round pick for Miller and no way Philly does that deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks3322 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Id like a line-up of Youth Sedin-Sedin-Kassian Baertschi-Horvat-Vrbata Burrows-McCann-Jensen Hansen-Richardson-Dorsett Guance would be on the team before McCann; McCann would need at least a another year in junior and perhaps a year in the minors.

thejazz97 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 but ehrhoff wants to win a cup in buffalo Actually he's in Pittsburgh now. He's not what he used to be, so OP, make like Elsa and let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Actually he's in Pittsburgh now. He's not what he used to be, so OP, make like Elsa and let it go. Ehrhoff outright admitted he went to Buffalo to win a cup. Ironic isn't it? He just wants a cup, he doesn't care what logo is on his jersey.

ForsbergTheGreat Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 We will soon see that if canucks want to win in playoffs they will need the veteran goalie. If canucks need a puck moving D, Ehrhoff is done, he's not like he used to be. I'd trade Bieska & Higgins, Then sign Mike Green. I don't think canucks have a real need for the second line center as I can see Bo Horvat filling that hole by the end of next season. I'd also explore at trading Lack to either Edmonton (16th) or Buffalo (21st) for their other first round picks. That gives you a line up of: Sedin Sedin Burrows Baertschi Hovart Vbrata Matthias Bonino Kassian Hansen Richardson Dorsett Vey, Kenins Tanev Edler Green Hammer Sbisa Corrado Weber, Clendening Miller Markstrom One thing I think this team needs still is more size on the back end, Tryamkin could fill that hole one day, but a big punishing stay at home D man would be nice have and possible replace hammer at the end of next season.

Piggy Bank Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 All these ehrhoff jokes... I think he is signed for 5 years more?? Pretty sure he has a better chance at the cup than us in that time. Eichel , Kane , Zadorov , Ristolainen , Bogosian , Girgensons , Reinhart , Moulson , Grigorenko , ALL BEING 23-28 in that time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 People keep saying Miller to San Jose in proposals, but why would they let Niemi go for nothing then trade away assets for a goalie that would likely have a higher cap hit? Not to mention they've said they're moving on from Niemi as they'd like to get a younger goalie to develop around, but Niemi hasn't said he doesn't want to be back as far as I know so they could just re-sign him if they'd changed their minds.

shanghai owey Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Philly would not do. They have alot of faith in Couturier and is an important part to their team. And with your proposal, our second line would not generate enough offence. Burrows is on the downfall. will Likely score less then this year. And kassian has not topped 30 points while Couturier hasnt cracked 40 points in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Have to wonder if the second line center's already in-house, and if his name's Bo Horvat. At least on paper, it seems like when we have those two roles (2nd C and puck-mover) figured out we should be okay. Of course, if Benny can make changes to add scoring that would be great but I'd be confident. IF we could upgrade on Higgins too I'd do that, but otherwise the bottom 6 looks solid in that they could win their matchups, and if Zack develops, watch out. Sedin - Sedin - Kassian (this line needs a net presence and shooter BADLY) Baertschi - Horvat - Vrbata (if Bo falls flat I hope we move to get another center; Bear should get his shot) Higgins - Bonino - Burr (they did well as the second line this year at times, so they should thrive as the 3rd) Kenins - Richardson - Hansen (decent 4th line IMO, hope Richie stays) MacMillan (he battles pretty well, makes for a decent 13th man) Edler - Tanev (they're the best we've got, not touching this pairing) Hammer - _____ (bye-bye, Juice; hello, big-money, big-minute offensive D-man) ______ - Weber (Yannick's not big but we need his shot; pair him with a giant) Lack/ Miller (no preference as to who starts, both have been good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
