I wonder who Jim might be going 
after here, my bet is Evander Kane.
What do you guys think??

JB is unwilling to trade anything substantive because the Canucks can't afford it right now.  He can keep making phone calls but he won't be able to get a lopsided trade until the trade deadline comes around towards the end of the upcoming season.

Olli Juolevi for Gabriel Landeskog 

No thanks

 

theres rumours that Canucks were shipping Luca sbisa and I wouldn't be shocked if they were trying again. In my opinion Canucks can ditch him for anybody because the Canucks already have options for defence in edler tanev Hutton Gudbranson tryamkin larsson and pedan. Jim Benning is looking for a young forward too so anything is ok with me, bcuz it's not like we r gonna use sbisa after awhile

thats a rumor sbisa is being shopped as he has proven he can play top minutes and get the job done!!Anyone can be traded right now as we do need help up front but saying only one name is wrong!!!!

Yea but if we look realistically which defence we'd get rid of, both Hutton and Gudbranson wouldn't get moved. Gudbranson was just acquired so it's safe to say he's on our team. Tanev is loved by JB but he could always go but in my opinion that would be dumb if we r trying to contend. The only realistic options are edler and sbisa and as long as the Sedins are around, edler will not get moved. So that leaves Sbisa. I hope he's gone by this upcoming season as he's irrelevant like I previously stated.

so you are saying that you do not watch canucks games???????Sbisa nd Trymakin after the first couple games played better then all D which made Tanev third best.Edler will not be going anywhere and Tanev would catch us the best return and you would rather trade sbisa for a bottom 6 player?????that to me is not good player management and would not make the team better and that is what a trade is about!!!!

Sbisa and tryamkin weren't a good pairing, tryamkin drove the play. I do watch games lol and if u did you'd know that sbisa has brought down every pairing he's played with. Tanev is the best defender on our team hand down. "Defend" is in the name and our best defenceman is tanev. And that's why like I said (clearly your too lazy to read) if the Canucks want to make the playoffs they shouldn't trade tanev. It's a no brainer really! Edler will not go even though I think he should, Hutton can replace him. And I know sbisa won't get us a great return that's why I said u should be happy if he gets us a 2nd-3rd line forward. But he's basically the only smart decision to give up. Plus if gms regard sbisa like u we'll get a good return! :) anyways miracles can happen I mean look at the hall for larsson trade.

Tanev last year -8, 4 goals

Sbisa    +5 , 6 goals

so plus 5 or -8???

Tanev is better defending but all around game Sbisa looked better

are you seriously trying to make the argument that Sbisa is a better offensive dman than tanev?

 

thats like saying daniel is better at shootouts than henrik

No I am saying so far Sbisa has gotten better in his all around game then at the start of last season and to me is worth more then getting rid of , where tanev is worth more and we would get a better return is all i am saying.People read into things so fast on here makes me laugh when stats are stats read them and that what they are!!

So first of all tanev played around 64-69 games while sbisa player 41 games. Tanev played top line forwards, while sbisa plays third line to fourth line forwards. Tanev also played during the second half of the season which is (if u were paying attention) where the Canucks lost most of their games. So tanevs -8 wasn't too bad especially for an injury ridden team. And also, tanev played for team Canada during the world championships where a bunch of his teammates said he was the most underrated player on the team. U clearly are very passionate about sbisa which is admirable from one Canucks fan to another. The fact is that we don't know who's gonna be involved in a trade but in my point of view if the Canucks are trying to contend they should consider trading sbisa instead of tanev. Cheers!

To be honest I'd rather we stick with our current defence going into the season and sign one of these UFAs like Pirri or Hudler than trade away Tanev or Sbisa and a package for a top-6 winger. We're better off with our defence as it is now, we've just built it up again to be respectable, lets not tear it down for a juicy forward. We're just one UFA signing from being season-ready and with 4M to play with I think we should target Pirri. He's consistently scoring at a 15-20 goal pace on a bunch of teams and can play center, perfect for our 3rd line.

We're starting to shore up on defense so I think finding some scoring on the front end is the important part right now. Why not make these trades now when the value for defensemen is so good. Edler (if he waves his NTC) would get pretty decent value on the free market and Sbisa, well he just needs to be moved period.
