TOMapleLaughs Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Jeez, looks like we're going to have to keep him now, so re-sign him I guess. That's if he wants to stay. And if the Canucks could even afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going to tank, why wouldn't we trade our desirable UFAs? The whole point of 'tanking' is to transition to a younger team that will eventually be better than the team we currently have. I'm not saying we can't sign Hamhuis in the offseason but tanking = finishing near the bottom of the standings to improve our drafting position and acquiring assets for aging players, especially UFAs.

Just got to bring up someone from Utica. Pedan or Fedun is what i would do after trading Hamhuis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niknuk85 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Keep hammer! with edler out, no big loss by the way other than plays lots of minutes. Why do they not bring up pedan and give him a real good look. Dan would be a good mentor for the younger fellows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure JB would be willing to do that, given how much value he places on the young guys getting playoff experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yup, i guess it is balancing 2 teams rosters. Keeping Utica in the playoffs also helps development.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get a prospect like Madison Bowey from the Caps, then do it and try to get Hamhuis back on a friendly contract this summer. If its just for a 2nd round pick or even the 28th or 29th 1st round pick, I think its better to keep him to mentor Hutton for the rest of the year.

Benning has until next fall to reshape the roster. Whether that be trade deadline deals, draft deals, UFA signings...cap space and roster openings are exactly what we need. Plus, just because we trade Hammer doesn't mean we can't sign him July 1st. All we're talking about here is the supposed hole in our backend that this would create for the final part of the regular season. I'm all for bringing Hammer back at a reduced salary next year.

Cyouentea Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 If Hammer really wants to stay in Vancouver why wouldn't he waive his NT for a chance to win a cup then resign in the summer and finish his career as a Canuck, then move to the office with Trevor and Jim. I can't see him holding out if it would benefit the team, he is not Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
