King Heffy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 We already got rid of a similar guy in Vrbata. No reason to add another soft, lazy, one dimensional scorer who doesn't score a lot anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year was the first time he didn't make 20 and he still paced for it. Easy 20 goals on a contract to prove himself is low-risk, high-reward. Can play either wing, so he adds competition for all the young players. Plus he can run the 2nd pp unit with Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you take Vrbata back on a 1 year deal? We're basically looking at the same player at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't missed a beat one season. for the right $ amount I would take a Vanek in a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Canuck player, if they're going to be a competitive team have to be good 2 way players. Sedins are. Vanek definitely isn't. Why I was so bummed on Vrbata was that I thought he was a solid 2 way player........which turned out to be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also allows us to take some cap back in a trade for a good piece. What good did Vrbata do last year besides whine about his linemates despite floating around the ice like a lazy bum?

If he wants another contract he can play for it. Pre-Montreal Vanek was a hardworking forward known for his compete level. Canucks are gonna be competitive on the wings: Sedin, Sedin, Eriksson, Virtanen, Etem, Hansen, Burrows, Baer, etc. IMO it's the ideal fit for Vanek to bounce back.

mll Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Vanek needs a playmaker on his line. One of the reasons it failed in Minnesota is because they didn't have a gifted passer on his line. He typically gets in position and waits for someone to feed him the puck - he scores a lot on tip-ins and deflections. He is also better suited to start in the o-zone as his foot speed is limited.

If he plays well on a one-year, maybe he would be a good pick up for Vegas next year? So they can try and get to the cap floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
