Arguably Canucks most consistent player for years and not declining any time soon.

Definitely gotta get rid of him ASAP^_^

At this TDL or the coming draft.  Yup I agree.  He should be put with Tanev to move us up the draft, and into the top five.

Full Rebuild!

Blow up this team!

Blow up the team = Edmonton Oilers with all their success, loaded with youngster very high picks and no idea what professional hockey is all about...they think they're playing junior in a bigger arena. Don't be  impatience. do it right rather than ill thought reactions

Hansen is 29. People act like he's in his last couple seasons. We've still got a few years of solid play out of him. He's a pretty complete player. The time will come to trade him but he fills a hole a prospect can't.  Unless you're getting a McDavid back, you keep him. 

Seriously? McDavid or bust? That's hilarious, you are overvaluing Hansen just a bit there!

Obviously he's not worth that. My point is you're undervaluing him. Just because a player has value, doesn't mean you get rid of him. A team would never build success doing that. His cap hit is super friendly for his production. Zero reason to get rid of him.

If the deal mentioned below got us Koekkoek  I'd do it in a heartbeat.   It'd be tough to give up Hansen, but Higgins isn't going to get us anything worthwhile,  let's face it.

Prust, Hansen, Brisebois to TB for Koekkok and 2nd (or a 3rd).

I don't think this is unreasonable from either side.  Vancouver desperately needs a young  PMD while a little toughness and speed/playoff experience wouldn't hurt TB.

Vrbata is a guy who can atleast fetch something, why is he still here?

Why is Hamonic still in NYI?  It takes two to tango and JB apparently doesn't like his prospective dance partners so far ^_^.

P.S. Hansen, if you read this, it was sarcasm. Please don't go.

the nice thing about hansen too is that he's so fast. as burrows has lost a step it's been really noticeable, i don't think hansen will suffer from that so badly.

Maybe we should do with Burrows as we did with Higgins and send him down which would put us in a better position !

How?  He's still counting against the cap and so would Burr.

But maybe you were being sarcastic, Internet after all ^_^.

I don't see Burr going anywhere.  He is a good insurance policy as a proven winger for the twins, is a good penalty killer, seems to be doing a decent job at mentoring Etem and Vey, and as well, is a top-notch agitator.

Like the Steamer, he's a lifer Canuck

Yeah, I'm not totally convinced the claim about Sutter putting them over the cap is right.  It all depends how they've handled the replacement players for Sutter's, Sbisa's and Hamhuis's long-term injuries under the cap.  They may have accumulated some headroom while those guys were out.  This is somewhat technical stuff, and the article doesn't really go into the details.

Player on LTI doesn't save you cap space, they still count towards the cap. But with Hamhuis on LTI we can exceed the cap limit by his salary.
