JeremyCuddles Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hamilton has been a turd so far with Calgary, just maybe he was overrated by a lot of people. The Oilers skated around him like a pylon last night. Writing off people a week into the season when they join a new team is a very bad idea. But to each their own. Baertschi must be a bust as well. Waive him right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 decades and no cup Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Canucks don't have/wouldn't want to lose the pieces needed for a top dman. Maybe at trade deadline JB can pick up a high pick or good d prospect. The team is not a contender yet and is still rebuilding. All in due time.

Drakrami Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 lol.. Good luck trading for a top defenceman without losing our farm. We are talking about Ekblad, Weber, Chara (young Chara), Suter, Karlsson here. If you are satisfied with something lesser, we coulda taken a shot with Franson this summer.

Gandhi Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I'm with the people that wanna sign this kid up. Do what you can, trade edler, shink, hamhuis, vrbata, picks (obv not all but these are guys we'd be willing) and finally draft a projected top 3 drat pick defencemen. Think of it in the terms of how we got the sedins on our team. Give up some current talent and our pick for exactly what we're looking for.

Valentine Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 He only wanted a guy whose career was over, or whose career will never be - you know, like Vey and Sbisa. Stealth Tank in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hosswolf Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 If only it were that easy to acquire an elite defenceman. I remember back in the summer of 2005 we had an opportunity to sign Scott Niedermayer but management at the time stated that they'd prefer to sign Markus Naslund instead (due to the limited cap at the time). As much as I liked Naslund, imagine what could have been if we'd signed Niedermayer instead? Or if we'd drafted Shea Weber? I hope the current regime can draft and develop an elite defenceman. I doubt we'll acquire one through a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we'll acquire one through a trade. Benning has stated that he looks forward to this year's draft 2 years ago. And we have the potential to acquire a lot of pucks for this draft. I'm thinking that some more top end dmen are going to be joining our prospect pool soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Maybe they will let him go but he's worth way more than $2M no matter how you slice it. They canned Bieksa for getting a little old. I think it would be a mistake to let Hamhuis go if they can keep him for $4M. Hamhuis is only making 4.5 and he was a number 2 d-man when we signed him. He won't get an offer more that 3.5-3.8 from the Canucks. If he goes to free agency some dumb team will give him 5 mill. But i don't see hammer going that way cause he wants to play at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckistani Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Well, at the end of the year, Dustin Byfuglien is available through free agency (assuming he doesnt sign an extension soon). If so, is he worth a 6-7 million dollar cap hit ? He is massive, is right handed ( we have a need for right handed D) and he is relatively interchangeable as a defenceman and a winger (though we don't need right wingers at the moment). On the negative side, i haven't seen him much since he played for Chicago and his defensive play was good but not stellar back then. What says CDC ?
