cuporbust Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Not as a player. Great Canuck though. One of my all time favorites , but time marches on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice orca Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Love me some Juice, would love to see him replace a couple of milk hotdogs on HNIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancouver Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I'd def bring him back in some other capacity but not to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I could see him as a fantastic defensive coach, but he's not a player for our team anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whaleroad Train Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Head Vs. Heart. My heart would love to have him back in the team but my head says we have decided on a youth movement to take us forward. It's time for us to let the kids lead the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 If he was a free agent this summer I wouldn't be opposed to it, but he still has another year left on his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 The Ducks may be buying him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Big fan, but no. He was great for us but we need to move on from that old core and aging players in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapefruits Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Why would he want to come back to a team that has no chance of winning a cup in the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messier's_elbow Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 If he signs cheap Id love to have him back. We need more bite in our line up. It's bad enough to suck, but to also be pushovers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 If he comes cheap enough than maybe. Not sure he would come back though if other contending teams want him as injury insurance/depth defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrible.dee Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Why?......WHY? Do people think this guy is a good mentor or role model? He's lackadaisical at best lazy at worst and a totally self-absorbed player. "Do I feel like pinching? Ya.....Do I feel like hitting? mm....not tonight......That was my guy who scored? You're ALL my guys, so shut up" Do you ever remember him fighting to defend a teamate? I don't, I remember him fighting if someone pissed HIM off......and if he felt like fighting. Kesler was the same way. He was good to have here when he helped form part of our identity (remember when everyone hated us?) But he never has and never will be a mentor..........unless he feels like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpn1 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 I think you are a bit off base with Juice. He never stuck up for his team mates? All he cared for was himself? I guess you know him pretty well to give such insight. Did he live next door to you and kicked your Dog? He seemed liked by his team mates, wore an "A" and I remember a game against Calgary where he stepped up to trade places with Calum Laine so he wouldn't have to fight such a big guy in the first second of his first NHL game. Sounds like a good guy that would be a good mentor. Top it all off, he did a great job for the Canucks "Hockey Talks" in memory of his good friend, the late Rick Rypien.

Salmonberries Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I don't believe Kevin ever made Vancouver his home. He's an Ontario guy. If the Ducks buy out his final year I could see him catching on with Ottawa or Toronto in a mentoring role on a one year low dollar deal maybe. The man is 36 after all. Great character guy though. Great Canuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hard NO! I love KB3 but this team is moving forward. I would love to see him come back in some capacity after he retires though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 I know he is an Ontario guy but his dad lives in Vancouver (I heard it in an interview where he talked about how mush he loves the city). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
