aGENT Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ideally, we move Vanek at the TDL and the Sedins both retire. With today's sad announcement, Dorsett's out of the picture as well. That's leaving some serious room in the lineup. Ideally I'd like us to make an offer for Kane as well but should we try to bring Honey Badger home as a speedy, bottom 6 vet on a reasonable hit for 2'ish years...? Baer, Horvat, Boeser Kane?, Gagner, Goldobin/Petterson Granlund/Eriksson, Sutter, Hansen/Virtanen Eriksson/Granlund, Gaudette, Virtanen/Hansen Gaunce That lineup would be a major upgrade in speed, skill and grit.

Shift-4 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yes please Yes please Yes please Yes please Edit: This is exactly the guy Virtanen could learn from. Imagine Virt's shooting ability with Hansen's everything else - WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 For me I’d say no to hansen. yes to Kane I really don’t want to see the roster get filled with tired old ufa vets again. find some fresh meat in college ufas or unsigned guys but youth should be the focus. gags sutter ericson are enough old vets. Hansen will be 32 the type of game he’s played how effective and durable would he really be.he hasn’t been very effective this season and it’s a contract year. Living in the past makes it harder to move to the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be more interested in trading to get him back considering his usage this year by San Jose. He is almost a cap dump currently and it would allow us to retain salary on another player. Jannik Hansen+ 7th for future considerations. Allows us to retain salary on another player such as Edler or Eriksson. Trade Edler+ Eriksson with retained money and make out like bandits. One more year of rebuild, 2 years transitioning in the young players and we will be competing for the cup in 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 For the right duration (short) and right price (low), I would be willing. He's been such a huge disappointment in SJ, but I still think he has some game left in him and while he doesn't replace DD's size or hitting ability, at least he brings energy to the game and makes our team that much faster.

DownUndaCanuck Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Honestly we need to replace Dorsett's grit somehow. I haven't watched many Sharks games but Hansen isn't putting up many points lately, but as long as he's still got his speed he'll be a factor in the NHL for a while.

Tre Mac Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 No, time to move on. Hansen's best days are over, we'll have plenty of prospects to look at within our own system to fill the void by whoever vacates at season end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeydownUnder Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 If he signed a cheap short contract I'm game. Put him on the 4th line to replace the experience lost with Dorsett. Good role model for the young guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 We could always sign Hansen for say 1.5 or less and sign the twins for say 2 maybe 2.5 each on a single year contract and make them our 3rd or 4th line. Say what you want but Hansen with the twins was money and that would arguably be the most skilled 4th line in the league, even if 2/3s of it was slower than the DPS trying to figure out how not to suspend Crosby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type R Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'm a big fan of the Honey Badger with Kermit the frogs voice.. That said, We are already full of bottom six forwards and even more hopefuls cutting their teeth in the system. If its not a star level player coming in, then I say pass, and let the youth take that spot. Petterson, Dahlin, Gaudette, Goldobin, Archibald, Boucher, Lockwood, Lind, Gadjovich are all knocking on the door for some sort of spot in the lineup.

Where's Wellwood Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 He's seemed to have declined quite a lot already since we traded him. The asset management though. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yep his work ethic is something we could use. I was just thinking about this today with the dorsett news. I’d be ok with trying to trade for home. Cost should be really low. He’s been scratched for half the season already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickTheGreek Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Honestly why not? His cap hit wouldn't be very large, and while he's under performing this year I can see him being of huge value to the Canucks next year and maybe the year after as well. I think being back here would reignite the guy to be honest I'd rather him than someone like Sam Gagner that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of our promising youth you listed needs to play top 9, if not top 6, not 4th line. Archibald's only a few years younger than Hansen and isn't half the player. Boucher is an AHL'er and Lind and Gadjovich will more than likely be 1 if not 2 years away still...perfect window for Hansen to fill in for a couple years.

Honeybadger or not. Bargain contracts or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
