TDemko16 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I would love for the Canucks to trade Sbisa for a bag of pucks and use his cap to sign Kris Russell. However no one will want Sbisa. If Canucks want to cap off the perfect off season, adding Kris Russell does it. All set w/top-tier blue liners and bonafide scorer Eriksson. Benning did well to dodge a question about the Canucks' reported interest in Kris Russell. Says Vancouver was focused on scoring. Would rather gamble on Luke Schenn for one year at $1M than Kris Russell at 4 years for $4M. Just saying. Jim Matheson@NHLbyMatty Kris Russell played for Willie Desjardins in Medicine Hat, of course, so he'd know him better than anybody if Canucks want to sign him Wes GilbertsonVerified account@WesGilbertson Canucks coach Desjardins on #Flames D Kris Russell: "He's always been that player that when the game is on the line, he's playing hard."

Nucker 67 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 How long do you think Willie will be the coach of the Canucks? There's also nothing wrong with Sbisa. He's a physical player who's pretty decent. Besides, our D is set and there is a bit of a logjam as it is. Canucks need a forward who can score, more than another D.

Nobody got to know Russell during these ten years? We've got to stop with these junior connections from the Middle Age. Geez, it's like because he coached him in junior he's going to make Russell play like freaking Bobby Orr...enough with that. Wasn't Linden Vey suppose to be Wayne Gretzky because of his connection to Willie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 At most, I'd sign him for a one year contract. Nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I would only sign him in the following Situations: -Larsen, Tryamkin, Pedan all have very poor pre season's, and are not looking to be capable NHLers. -A long term injury to one of our top 4. -A trade of one of our top 4 to address holes in top 6. As it stands, I think our top 5 D are set, with Larsen, Tryamkin and Pedan fighting for or rotating in the 6 spot. If you bring in Russell, you could lose Pedan to Waivers, Tryamkin to the KHL, or Larsen to the SEL, with no assets in Return. I don't think Russell is a big enough improvement to justify those risks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkingz Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Sbisa has actually looked pretty good in his World Cup play. Let's hope that translates to the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonberries Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I've been interested in waiting to see how deep into the season Russell sits out. Signing him would just ruin it for me. Besides, he can't help us much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokes Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Don't we have enough of a logjam on defence as it is right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Makes no sense to sign Russell. If the Canucks wanted a veteran defenseman, they would have re-signed Hamhuis, who is a better defenseman and likely would have been happy to stay.

Ojibwa72 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Only way this makes sense as stated before is to move 1 or 2 D out for 1 or 2 top/middle 6 forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
