Or the Thrust Semin Vbratar line. When they're on the ice, the Canucks are....well...it rhymes with Canucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be Vrbata. Maybe they are making room for the return of future Hall of Fame great Zack Kassian and the pet monkey he lets ride on his back.

I can see him slapping his way out of all kinds of trouble. Semin is not really in the position to demand anything right now. His NHL career is dead.

firestorm238 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 MTL has a serious lack of depth at RW and they happen to be making space as the NHL GMs are meeting together... Hmmmmmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be in both party's best interests if he clears. I think it's the most likely scenario unless Semin thinks he can get his game back after a few weeks in the A to earn a recall.

Ilya Mikheyev Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Obvs Benning is gonna claim him as part of the deal to send Vrby to MTL, they're just giving the teams below them a chance first so neither has to take on the cap ;). I haven't noticed him at all this year in the dozen or so MTL games I've watched, but he must be playing pretty horrible. Guy has so much talent put up so many points even with his first couple years with the Hurricanes. Most years I actually wouldn't have minded the Canucks giving him a chance on the 2nd line and some 2nd unit PP time, but on a team with already questionable character (like the Ducks and LA games recently that Benning called them out for), I think this would be a horrible pick-up.

nuckin_futz Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The last thing you want on a team with lots of youngsters is to bring in a veteran loafer. We have a team that has generated a grant total of 49 shots in 3 games. We already seem really disinterested, have no push back and are showing rookies the way to fail. Now people are suggesting picking the King of the Loafers up because he's cheap. The damage he'd do to the rookies would be untold. NO, NO. A thousand times NO to Semin.

Honestly would rather have Jensen and Baer in the lineup than Semin. Baer with his waiver eligibility and Jensen next season. Give them a chance with a thin line-up. Saying that, WD has done a horrible job handling Baer so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you name a player in the history of the game who was picked up and damaged young players. We will all wait patiently... PS: Recchi was a waiver pickup, I believe Bryzgalov as well.

Take a guy like Radulov for example, no team wants him around regardless of how talented he is. Think anyone is lining up to bring Kassian into their locker room? If you're a GM with lots of youth would you bring him in? We had lots of youth coming up and couldn't get rid of him fast enough. It's more trouble than it's worth. Same goes for lazy, entitled vets. It only takes one cancer/problem to mess up a locker room. It's a bad example for young guys to be learning from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Wow... At that cap hit... Imagine with the sedins. Hansen is needed for the rest of the team. I would take him if I was GM. If it works, u trade a higher cap forward. Burrows to Montreal for 2nd and a dman. Burr will lead them to a cup. Don't get me wrong, Alex is my favourite player. Nicest guy I ever met... Tied with tuzzi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
