garthsbutcher Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Burrows( can re sign him next year) Gaunce( not sure who would want him), Edler( please waive your no trade) Miller waives to a contender, Biega for anything, and in a perfect world THE TWINS taking back a bad contract ie clarkson, bolland with no more than one year term or hopefully UFA. I'd listen to offers for Hansen but it would have to be an overpayment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSVII Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 If we don't want to risk losing one of baertschi/granlund we would need to unload Hansen or another forward by TDL. Agreed. We can't sit still. And for those who say NTCs can't be traded we did pretty well with Garrison and Bieksa. It's not impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Burrows has quite abit of interest already , just google his name and it links him to several teams for trade deadline deals. Miller is definitely a commodity, and Hanson is also a possibility . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Alf has been calling for tfading away guys at TDLs for three years with JB. The first two TDLs and JB did nothing, allowing all our UFAs to leave for zero return. Why should this TDL be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Your undervaluation of Gaunce and Biega is noticeable. Gaunce has done well in his two games back in Utica and his full potential is not yet realized. Biega is a workhorse and I believe he inspires this team, especially the defensemen. Regarding Edler, I'm not really a fan of trading him, but it does make sense to trade one defenseman due to our surplus in that area. I want to keep the twins until they retire for leadership and guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Moody Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Will do Garthsbutcher. Thank you very much for your continued support and input on the team, we often eagerly await our next instructions from you here at Rogers. Cheers, Jimmy B P.S. Did you ever interview for this job? Seems kinda funny they hired me officially to just follow your instructions.. lol just kinda feel bad taking all the credit that's all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Willie needs to give Gaunce a more offensive role, or at least the freedom to play offensive minded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just needs to know that he can score in the NHL as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFBR392 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm guessing that we do nothing or Benning makes some moves that people are woefully unimpressed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Keep in mind that Benning has built a team where he has veterans in responsible positions to shelter his developing players. I wouldn't expect any changes to that structure. Sedin Sedin Eriksson/Hansen Sutter Edler Tanev Miller Since players like Granlund, Horvat, Baertschi, Stecher, Sbisa, Tryamkin have been developing well, this structure isn't needed as much as it was. But it is still important to have good anchors in these positions for Benning as the Sedin's no longer fill the top line role. I think that we can see the end of this is coming. Horvat is showing that he will be able to step up. I'd honestly like to see how Eriksson does with Horvat. In 2 years we could see a top line like Baertschi, Horvat, Eriksson. Or even Eriksson, Horvat Boeser a year after that. That line will have to be very solid moving forward. We are hearing talk from Benning and Linden that Edler and Tanev are not likely to be moved. Also, Miller has played so well, I can't imagine that they don't re-sign him. From the forward lines, I could see Hasen traded or exposed because Granlund and Baertschi are showing that they have a future with the team. Burrows is trade bait as a rental. He has been hot and cold and what he does over the next couple of weeks will seal his future. On the back end, they're going to have to decide between exposing Sbisa and Gudbranson. We have seen that Sbisa can do a good job if he is paired with a solid partner but Gudbranson's pedigree I think keeps him protected. He had played many of his games with a wrist injury this year. Long story short, Hansen, Burrows and Sbisa are players who might get moved imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then think about what previous gm's let go... we would be a lot better with getting talent back for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, CDC had riches coming our way from trades for Vrbata and Hamhuis last year. It takes 2 to tango. Benning tried but got no reasonable result.

LaBamba Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 We have never been sellers at the trade deadline. Every year threads like these pop up about how we are going to trade all these UFA's and show up at the draft with 30 picks and rebuild our organization overnight. It's never happened and it's not going to start this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 We won't be sellers as long as JB is here. He set out to just "retool on the fly" so he's going to stick to that plan whether its working or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny in Vancouver Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 To be a seller, you'll need to have something you're willing to sell that buyers will want to buy at a decent price. Given all the NTC's and the NMC's and the injuries and the not-so-good team stats (the Canucks have the THIRD-worst team +/- in the league right now) and the unwillingness to include young players or draft picks, not sure we'll get good prices.
