Or Ho Sang would have a heart attack trying to keep up with Greener teaching him how to play defence in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a straight swap. Ho-Sang doesn't need waivers so he can be sent up and down this season while Goldobin can't without the risk of waivers. The Sharks have had a lot of success "rehabbing" "troubled" players in the past (just look at there bets with Evander Kane, Ryan Merkley recently). What says the Canucks can't do the same? Kassian, Rypien, Prust, O'Brien, Hodgson, McCann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amplified0ne Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Its probably an even worse situation for Ho-Sang with Lamoriello being the GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe Silvia Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 If we could get him for Gaunce or Granlund or something, I'd do it. Last time he played in Vancouver, he was pretty electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassian was a legitimate alcoholic who hadn't hit rock bottom when he was dealt away from the Canucks. Canucks did send him to rehab via an NHLPA program. Didn't work. Outlier. McCann was a mistake too let go and a victim of Benning being hellbent on getting Gudbranson. Prust was over the hill when he came here and not someone with attitude problems. He wasn't good enough for the NHL when he got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got loads of talent when hes on, but absolutely does nothing when disinterested. That being said, if Gagner or Granlund is the offer, I'd do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Maybe his attitude is getting better. Humbling with age as he’s had to work throughout the minor leagues. At this point though if he’s cheap to acquire beggers can’t be choosers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with the whole idea of saying "maybe this" or "maybe that" is we could suggest that with almost anything. It doesn't really accomplish much if we make trades based on "maybe" when there's just as good, if not an even better chance of it being "maybe not". We are also not beggars. That would be a recipe for disaster if we "begged" the rest of the league for their scraps. I know that's probably not what you meant by that statement, but I really think that being beggars is the LAST thing you want in such a competitive league. That's pretty much what's happened to Ottawa. It's not pretty. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not big returns but still a fat cry from 2 years ago. The other concern is the team chemistry if a prima donna is brought in. The existing prospect pool looks like a character group. I don't know much about this guy so cannot comment on his character. Many posters are negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t pay more for other teams scraps but if they’re pretty much giving Ho Sang away because they’re about to waive him. Why not toss them somebody like Gaunce. I more so meant that if his attitude isn’t that of a model citizen as a bottom 3 scoring offence can we turn a player away because he’s cocky? Now I’m not saying bring in a locker room cancer because I don’t think Ho Sang is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I’m not saying bring in a locker room cancer because I don’t think Ho Sang is that. If they are about to waive him, only if we needed the space to have another contract would it make sense to trade for a player like that. Otherwise, you're wasting assets for nothing. The thing you have to understand about cockiness is that it's not a matter of whether or not you are cocky, it's a matter of how you utilize that cockiness. The way Ho-Sang has handled his ego is poor and it tends to be that exact kind of cockniess that potentially starts locker room issues. It's a risk and it could actually harm our other players, especially our newcomers entering the league.Therefore, it's not a matter of whether he's cocky or not (cocky can mean confidence afterall), it's a matter of what his personality portrays. What I'm saying is, while his cockiness might be fine, it likely isn't to be honest. There's more to this then him "just being cocky". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
