Mathew Barzal Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 This is looking to be a career year for Hansen on a team which is struggling immensely. In 28gp he's sitting at 8-8-16. What kind of return could we possibly fetch for this guy at the deadline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Kane Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Teams will know his production of the last 4 years is pretty constant, and he's playing with two word class elite players. With that being said, a solid 3rd liner who can jump up in the top 6, and works hard, kills penalty's, and has good speed. Maybe a 2nd or a decent prospect.

JiffyPB Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 2nd round pick and an additional asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I do think Hansen could be a valuable contributor to the right contending team, but I see him worth a 3rd round pick to another organization at best unfortunately. Whatever GMJB could get in return wouldn't change the fortunes of this club let's put it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His play this year is largely due to his 1st-line time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron88188 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hopefully they are trying to raise his stock now by playing him with the Twins then unload him for a second rounder. Once that is done, repeat with Vrbata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I would guess, at most, a 2nd rounder. Unlikely to get that though. A team would have to be desperate enough but, if you look at a past deal: We traded a 2nd for Roy. Having said that, Higgins might be a better comparison where we traded Oberg and a 3rd for him.

-AJ- Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Just now, logic said: Lack wasn't traded at the deadline where prices are higher than normal That's fair, but I still can't see Hansen getting us a 2nd and change. I'd be elated with just a 2nd, not that I want him traded anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relyt Krets Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I wouldn't be getting rid of Hansen. His speed is what we need and he is a work horse playing on a respectable contract. Yes he's hot now and would be worth more then ever. But I'd keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 We have a lot of young guys (and more coming). We have a lot of old guys who'll be moving along like Hamhuis, Burrows, Dank, Hank, Vrbata. We don't really have a whole lot of guys in between like Sutter, especially among the forwards. Hansen is a valuable guy and a good foot soldier on a decent contract. Plus he fits our system very well. I'd argue he's more valuable here then what we could get for him. I vote keep him.

His play this year is largely due to his 1st-line time. Apples and oranges. Dorsett, Prust, Bollig and Rinaldo all got 3rds at the draft with 3 of them having expiring deals. Why would Hansen, a 3rd line player (vs. those 4th liners) who can consistently fetch 35+ points while killing penalties and being in his prime fetch less? He's under 30 and cap controlled at a very modest 2.5 million until 2018 in a league where the vast majority of teams are hitting well over 70 million in cap. If you want to pry a guy like Hansen loose, you better pay because the Canucks aren't exactly desperate to dump him either and nor should they if they aren't going to get full value back.

I have a question then, are we not able to sell Hansen on the fact that he's capable of being a complementary top six player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Nope. Miller Vrbata Prust hell most of the veterans on this team ought to be moved before Honey Badger. You don't sell simply for the sake of selling - and nothing anyone has proposed in this thread is worth moving this player for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For them it's Hansen for a 1st or Tarasenko otherwise GMJB was out-GM'ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that may be an issue. Many players have had boosted stats with the Sedins only to see their numbers fall in subsequent years, eg. Anson Carter, Taylor Pyatt, Christian Ehrhoff, even Alex Burrows. If other teams know this, it will likely reduce Hansen's value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
