Gaudette Celly Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I'd target Parayko. We'd have to part with picks to get him though. That'd be like Edmonton saying they should target Hutton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 coffeys prime was on oilers just because he won 2 more cups on pens doesnt mean he wasnt in twilight of his career chelios was in his prime for playing for habs he rotted away on hawks and then won a few more with wings basically you draft number ine dmen not trade for them He didn't just win more cups, he won more Norris Trophies and broke 100 points in a season, which has literally only been done by four other defensemen EVER. So he did something that has only been done by four other men, after being traded, and he still wasn't in his prime? He scored 100 points in back to back seasons with Pittsburgh, and his 113 points with the Pens one year would be the NHL record for points in a season if not for Coffey himself and Bobby Orr. The only reason the Coffey trade to the Penguins isn't remembered as shocking is that Gretzky was traded fairly soon after. Eight years after being traded from Edmonton, he won the Norris Trophy in a runaway vote and was 4th in voting for the Hart Trophy. Even if you chopped all of his Edmonton years off of his career entirely, there's a very good chance he would be considered the 2nd best offensive defenseman that ever played the game. I have to disagree about Coffey. He was still in his prime with Pittsburgh and arguably even LA / Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Why does Luca Sbisa get a free pass from Canucks management. The new Bieksa but worse. Not good in the o zone or D zone but brings a little toughness not even as much as Bieksa though. Scratch him. Still living off being a former first round pick 7 years later. Edler-Tanev Hamhuis-Bartowski Hutton-Weber Because he's the only d-man who plays physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Thought the need was for a pmd......and then Hutton arrived from right beneath everyone's noses. Oh, that's right....the Canucks have no D prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler-Tanev Hamhuis-Bartowski Hutton-WeberSpeaking of free passes amazing how almost no one on here mentions Tanev's brutal give away on the winning goal against St. Louis. Yet people like you still whine about Sbisa despite him having a fairly solid start to the year. Sbisa and Tanev each have an equal amount of game costing turn overs yet no one mentions Tanev's...

OrrFour 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. scott wanted to play with his bro Rob in anaheim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC20.0 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 If Sutter had his head up he would've seen Daniel on a breakaway and would've chipped it out instead of trying to carry it out of his zone He WAS trying to get it to Daniel. He would have succeeded if Wideman hadn't made a great play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I'd target Parayko. We'd have to part with picks to get him though. They wont give up on him he's going to be a stud d in no time. Give him 200 nhl games and he'll be the next hedman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Really? cuz I'd rather have Bouwmeester, much better skater and Hamhuis has looked like he could use a change in scenery for 2 years now. Bouwmeester hasn't been the same since he left florida. the guy put up back to back 15 goal seasons and since then has been a shell of his former self. Still decent but I would think his better days are behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Chelios, Montreal ran him out after only a few years and the prime of his career was with the Blackhawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
