TheRussianRocket. Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Suitors lining up for Bieksahttp://www.tsn.ca/video/suitors-lining-up-for-lucic-bieksa-1.312257Video Overview - Bieksa has value that teams will pay for. - teams would love to add that right handed dman who can kill penalties, play on the powerplay, and play tough; pretty much play in all situations. - "all encompassing #2 that can fit perfectly with a #1." - Bieksa is prime aged and if the time is up in Vancouver and the team truly wants to move on, give Bieksa a shot to win elsewhere as there are a handful of teams who would love him. - Canucks have not approached Bieksa to waive NTC but word is if he were to be traded, it'd be at his discretion that the other team have an extension ready for him. ...well there you have it, added fuel to the fire. Absolutely love draft week and free agency lol. Love Juice. He's the absolute warrior that deserves the Cup. It won't be here in his playing time left and his play has dropped off considerably. TSN praising him quite a bit even though he had his worst year ever last season. Think you can sense teams will pay the price for a righty shot defensemen who can do a bit of everything, a veteran, and can play just about anywhere if matched correctly...they called him a #2 lol, that's some pretty big praise. As much as I want Bieksa moved like most others do, a part of me says screw it. Definition of a Canuck and he's as core as the Sedins are for us. Will never turn my back on him and he brings a different kind of leadership than that of the Twins which I think is necessary on any team...man, I hate the emotional connect part of sports lol. But putting that aside, best would be to get value back for him. Would be bittersweet to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I guess it's better than him refusing to waive at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 HUGE! Ok line em up. Bieksa (regardless of what people will say) with this news is now possibly the most sought after player leading up to the draft for blue liners. And yes IF this is truly valid story/rumour than there WILL be a number of teams bidding for him. And yes the price could very easily fetch a top prospect/pick D men are a dime a dozen, but proven ones that can lead are rare regardless of age.

Maniwaki Canuck Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Well, well, well, looks like he may not be "going down with the ship" after all. Love the guy, but if he's willing to go, now is definitely the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 To Columbus for a 2nd and a 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 would this not reduce the number of tire-kickers and bring the legit options forward along with an increase in value if you are attempting to trade for a player who wants a longer term and stability ?

Mike Vanderhoek Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 To Columbus for a 2nd and a 3rd. I do think Columbus is a good option and appears from the outside as a good fit, we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I do think Columbus is a good option and appears from the outside as a good fit, we shall see. I think it should work for all parties. After losing Reilly the Jackets need another RHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 A sad day if Bieksa gets traded. Guy bleeds blue and green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Super-speculative report, though, the usual Dreger stuff. And the idea that he is a perfect #2 .... Not sure these guys know what they are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Apparently Washington is going all in. Tom Wilson for Bieksa, Grenier and a pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Bang Boogie Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Stuff like this just ups his trade value. Now's the time to move him for the highest return possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 To Columbus for a 2nd and a 3rd. Would make a tough lineup even tougher that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockhart Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I don't see Bieksa having too much value, would seem like more of a cap dump for us. I'd rather try and get a decent return for Hamhuis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Nooooo he's been my favourite Canuck forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Nooooo he's been my favourite Canuck forever. People felt that way about Ohlund, but they knew it was time to move on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Apparently Washington is going all in. Tom Wilson for Bieksa, Grenier and a pick? That'd be stupid on our part. Not the type of return you'd want lol and for Wilson? Guy's a goon. Wouldn't trade Grenier alone for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
