TheRussianRocket. Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 ...Yes to Shipachyov. Pass on Hudler although I wouldn't be irate by any means if he ended up signing; more so prefer leaving the wing spot up for grabs amongst the youngsters. As much as I hate to say it, if we got Shipachyov, we'd be a legitimately good retooling team and not one of those "stuck in the middle" teams. This would be a signing that can make us a real threat. But realistically, it'd be a miracle if we got him knowing our luck and how there is a bidding war / half the league interested in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Apparently Shipachyov is only coming over because Datsyuk signed with his team. This was a guy a month ago, who said he wanted to stay in Russia for his career. Then again, Radulov pulled the same stuff... twice. I guess things work differently in Russia. Hudler is a headscratcher, has he lost a step or is last year just an abnormality? Regardless, the last thing we need upfront is another soft Euro.

elvis15 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Shipachyov is wanted by everyone, where he and Hudler's agent is basically just calling around to find interest for Hudler (not necessarily that the Canucks want to sign him, the @CanucksNow account overstates that). Here's the other @News1130 tweet you should have included instead of going with the @CanucksNow one which is likely based off of it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Sounds intriguing, but where would Vadim fit in? And the bigger question is; where would Hudler fit in and WHY!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 No way to hudler, we need some size and grit in our forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 i friggin hated Hudler when he was with the flemes. i cant stand the guys face lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBacon Strips Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'd rather see what Rodin can do instead of signing either of them. We already have so many forwards that Gaunce is likely going to Utica so we really don't need a bigger logjam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Too many older euros have been hyped and fizzled when they arrived to make me think this guy's going to be a game changer. If he comes and does well, great. If not, more ice time for the younger guys. Take a pass on Hudler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladeen Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Is this Svoboda's way of saying if you want Shipachyov you have to take Hudler too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm not a Hudler fan. Seems like he's in it for the money and that's it. I could see him coming to play with the Sedins and then mailing in games when he ends up on the 3rd line after exposing his indifference to winning. Based solely on my bias from my connection to a Wings employee, and his time in Calgary. Edit: Verbudler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 why is shipachoyov so wanted? he's 29 years old. Not a young guy by any stretch of the imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono2009 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Personally I would pass on both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer League All Star Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I think if we add another forward to our group, the best fit/ biggest need would be a gritty, versatile, 2 way winger with scoring ability. Brouwer would have been perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he kicked butt at the last worlds. At least at the Russian or International level, he's a supreme set-up guy. I'd certainly be interested. Does he have to sign an entry level contract to come here, or is it completely open season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Ugh, I'd take a nab at Shipachyov. Hudler not really, would be hogging a place from one of our young guys. Shipachyov would fit nicely on the 2nd line beside Baertschi and Horvat. Sedin/Sedin/Eriksson Baertschi/Horvat/Shipachyov Burrows/Sutter/Hansen Etem/Granlund/Gaunce Virtanen Dorsett Hudler would be an unnecessary. He's a good kind of goal scoring depth. But his size is a concern. As well, we can't forget Rodin. I don't know where Rodin will fit in the line-up with or without those two targets.
