Green Goblin Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I thought we were trading Hamhuis to a contender not a pretender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This deal is much less likely to happen due to the fact that Vancouver and Edmonton Share a division, Edmonton would not want to see Schultz become a star so close to Edmonton where people would see him regularly. With Edmonton being in a situation very much like Vancouver will be in a couple of years, Dan Hamhuis wants to know why he would waive his No-Trade Clause to move away from family and friends for a team that is lower in the standings and not contending for the Stanley Cup, at his age, either he wants end up with a competitive team, or he wants to stay put. When people say they'll do whats best for the team, that doesn't mean they are going to disregard their own future to do it - if that was the case, we'd see alot more league minimum contracts(HAHAHA) Just my thoughts. Yeah....Edmonton doesn't need to worry about Schmutz becoming a star. He can join Cody Hodgson in the overrated yet underwhelming reject pile.

No progression, and in fact regression. Edmonton would welcome this trade very much, but would Hamhuis? Nah this makes no sense on both sides... Edmonton isn't in a position for a rental and Vancouver wouldn't want to waste an asset to acquire a player like Schultz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silky mitts Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Don't think Hamhuis would want to go there and who can blame him, place is so flat you can watch your dog run away from home for 5 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 why would van want schultz hes garbage he won be in nhl next yr off to europe hes soft and garbage. If im edmonton id build around mcdavid hall draisatl nurse reinhart talbot yakapov but id trade eberle and ryan nugent hopkins and their first round for a Young good dmen ( hamonic and oliver ekman larsson) hall mcdavid plug plug draisatl yakupov plug plug plug plug plug plug nurse hamonic reinhart ekman larson klefbom plug talbot would be a decent core to build around sign a few free agents and find a few europeans that could be decent signings for rest of roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, but, Have mercy on the kid, he's been stuck in Edmonton his whole career, Kyle Turris is an example of what the right change can do for the right player, I don't think Schultz will be anything overly special either, but, there is still some hope.

Alflives Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 7 hours ago, The 5th Line said: Taylor Hall is a top 5 LW in the league, Draisaitl has more potential than any one of our prospects and Klefbom is 22 years old with top pairing D-man written all over him. But okay I like Draisaitl, but Hall is not that good. If these players they have were so great, how come their team is terrible every season? IMHAO, their top player (paid top dollars) are not so good. Plus, they eat up Cap space, which could have gone to better players. I'm thinking Edmonton offered up RNH in the Jones trade, and Nashville laughed. You might think the Edmonton players are good, but their record indicates otherwise.

Ghostsof1915 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Why do this, we can sign Fabian Brunnstrom in the offseason from Malmo for free in the offseason? He will lead us to the promised land right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Prophet Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 1 hour ago, The 5th Line said: "Hall is not that good" You make me want to punch my computer screen. If you take away the Sedins as a pair, Hall is easily more skilled than any Canuck player. As is Draisaitl and McDavid. I don't care for RNH I'm not a fan of Hall's defence, I've watched several games where he doesn't bother to go back after a failed breakaway. But yes, offensively he has the tools to be a Kessel type scorer. Injuries are an early concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care for RNH I'm still not too certain about Big Leon, but Macdavid is clearly a special player. I too am not a fan of RNH, especially for the money he's paid. Hall, IMHAO, is not that skilled. Skilled players don't skate (with the puck) with their heads down, which Hall does A LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 4 minutes ago, The 5th Line said: Sounds a lot like your boy JV. Yup, I have to agree with you. I know there are a lot of variables that define skill, but I like to include (high on my list) the time in control of the puck with one's head up. Players like Patick Kane rarely look down. Hall and Virtanen look at the puck on their stick WAY TOO MUCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
