I can't see any takers on burrows..... Vrbata comes with a big price tag and probably requires cap coming back. Hansen is having a career year and can slide up and down any line. That is gold for any playoff bound team and we have a logjam of forwards. if he nets us a good d-prospect and/or picks it would be a great hockey trade. I don't get how people think we can always just trade our scraps.... If we don't want them, why would anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most importantly though (and why I posted this in Trades and Rumours) is that the Montreal Canadiens had 5 scouts at the Nucks-Preds game. It's normal for there to be one or two. 5 though... Including Marc Bergevin himself. That's a pretty big audience from across the country to just be catching a Canucks game. Sure, maybe they were there for Nashville but Montreal needs offense and Nashville could use more. I'd lean towards they were here for the Canucks. There are supposed to be around 100 scouts in town for the Top Prospects game tomorrow night..could be one reason there were so many at the game.

Warhippy Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Why do people not think Hansen is trade bait? Ohhh he's having a great productive year. great. Except that he's not a top 6 player on any other team in the league. he's an elite 3rd line player, capable of filling in top 6 duties. he's Burrows 3 years ago. Burrows whom we should have traded for a major return. Hansen was drafted in the 9th round, 287th overall! Take thet wins away he's a 30+ point player solid PK in his best years. He's worth a 1st + right now. As such right now is the time to trade him if people are starting to make major offers on him. Because even though we all love the honey badger, he's the exact kind of success story you cash in on, much like we should have done with Klatt, Cowan, Burrows, Carter and however many before that played with the twins and had their value hyper inflated. And before you chime in with the "he's a great role model/leader" for the kids. Stop. Yes his hard work and amazing on ice work ethic is a treat to watch, if someone offers up a premium for a career 3rd line player you take it.

Gaudette Celly Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hansen is basically calling out the Swedes. The Sedins and Edler have probably been the biggest culprits in "lazy" changes that have directly caused GWGs. The twins are the leaders of the team, and do need to be accountable. As he said, it's not a one-off thing but keeps happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it seems on cdc only players playing very poorly are trade bait and returns will be tremendous... That being said, other G.Ms aren't oblivious, they know Hansen is a 3rd liner playing well with the TWINS. No other teams have these twins thus meaning g.m's wouldn't make huge offers for him. In my opinion he is most valuable to the Canucks. But I totally understand the point you're making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Nobody is ever untradeable, as there is always a value to every player and eventually a premium can make a move feasible. Trading Hansen doesn't make any sense outside of that though, as he is one of the few vets that the Canucks should look at keeping. He's a faster and more physical version of Higgins, with better offensive upside who can play on any line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Zamboni Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 well if they thought they may be interested in Edler, last night probably cured that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asian player Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'm sure many teams would love to have Hansen. This guy has been money for us and he's on a decent contract. What would our reason be for trading him? I wouldn't trade him unless it's for a whale of a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in OT against Tampa, puck went up to Killorn who got a break away because Henrik went to the bench instead of covering him when Tampa had the puck. We just two in a row because of similar plays. This is not excusable. Both games were very winnable too, but lazy plays cost us. Good on Hansen for calling the team out.

If he moves Vrabata, Hamhuis, Prust etc, I think there will be at least 1-2 young roster players coming back to fill positions so he can leave Utica largely untouched.

aliboy Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Eklund saying we may be in on Erickson, Vrbata to Montreal, Erickson to Van. Of course, it's Eklund so it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakuRaku Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'm sure Montreal is desperate enough to go after Vrbata and Burrows.... why not make a package to shake things up for both teams? We'll take Eller and Petry from them... but they must also take Weber! Sounds like a fair deal... and most importantly for us, we gotta save a bit of $ and create another roster spot for our youth movement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Montreal is going to go into next season with $12.5m in cap tied up in goaltending. No chance of that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
