It's Rosterbation Time Again! What Do You Want The Canucks' 2011-12 Roster To Look Like?

For those of you who are not familiar with the term "rosterbation" it basically means creating your idea of what you would like to see the Canucks' roster look like for the upcoming season. Is there a player you dream of having on the squad? Rosterbate away! Unfortunately this type of "sin" has a restriction. Yeah it's ok if your parents or significant other walk in on you doing it but unfortunately we try to keep it realistic, which in this case means salary cap-compliant. So you can use CapGeek.com as a reference for who is up for free agency and for financial referencing and TSN for the list of Western Conference free agents and Eastern Conference free agents. Build your roster however you choose: trades, sign free agents, or poach RFA's. This is meant to be in good fun. You might get some ribbing and might go over the cap in which case you'll probably get corrected, but roll with the punches! By the way, you can't trade Roberto Luongo, or I'll beat your head in with a hammer. I'm kidding. Maybe.
The Salary Cap is $64 million.
You need 13 forwards, 7 defencemen and 2 goalies.
Just for poops and giggles here are some results from last summer's rosterbation session.
OK, I'll start it off:
FORWARDS
1. Daniel Sedin: $6.1 million
2. Henrik Sedin: $6.1 million
3. Ryan Kesler: $5.0 million
4. Jamie Langenbrunner: $2.8
5. Mason Raymond: $2.55
6. Mikael Samuelsson: $2.50
7. Manny Malhotra: $2.5
8. Alex Burrows: $2.0
9. Raffi Torres: $1.2
10. Jannik Hansen: $1.5
11. Maxim Lapierre: $0.9
12. Victor Oreskovich: $0.7
13. Alex Bolduc: $0.6
Total: $34.45
-Higgins goes back east somewhere (oh please stay..)
-Hodgson traded for prospect and high draft pick.
DEFENCE
1. Dan Hamhuis: $4.5 million
2. Kevin Bieksa: $4.5 million
3. Keith Ballard: $4.2 million
4. Alex Edler: $3.25
5. Anton Babchuk: $3.5
6. Sami Salo: $2.5
7. Aaron Rome: $0.75
TOTAL: $23.70
-Trade away Ryan Parent for a low draft pick
-Ehrhoff walks.
-So does Alberts.
GOALTENDING
1. Roberto Luongo: $5.33 million
2. Cory Schneider: $0.90
TOTAL: $6.23
GRAND TOTAL: $63.88
Wow, how is that crop of defencemen in the UFA pool this year? Terrible! I am guessing some may want Ed Jovanovski back into the fold. OK, your turn!

He’s just had so many big injuries I fear he may be on the decline earlier than he should have.
He is exactly the type of player I would love to add though.

I was thinking more the body too
He’s a big body that can score that would add an extra dimension to the Nucks forward corps.
Hey, this is the canucks you’re talking about, NO WAY we can hold an entire season with 7 D-men… just no way! 8 is a minimum, 9 is better, 14 is the optimum figure… I’m rosterbating, but not yet happy with my results… will sleep on it and see tomorrow
Aye, but if our D-Men are going down with injuries, that frees up capspace for their replacements beyond the 7th man.

It makes me wonder now which is the true Bieksa – this year’s version or the one last year that we all wanted to get rid of.
I hope giving him 4.5m/yr isn’t a mistake.

BRING BACK THE JUICY HAMMER

#WinitWithManny
notafullcolon CS: Well obviously I meant we were snorting blow off hookers at the time of the goal
Right. But if Bieksa’s season is solely attributable to Hammer, what’s the point of overpaying Juice? Just put me on with Hammer and I’ll play for $500k.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
Isn’t that the point though? Don’t overpay for Juice? Or are you referring to Sean putting Bieksa down for 4.5M up there?
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Yeah. Although I think they will. And I’m not entirely opposed to it, anyways. If a pairing works as perfectly as that one did, perhaps best not to mess with a good thing.

At 4.5 is a lot though.

Ahem
I do think Bieksa will come back around with an injury-free and focused year[…]
Did so! I also think he’s worth keeping this year. He’s got very good movement, hits hard, jumps into the attack very well, eats ice time, fights when needed, and is a quote factory. Keep him.
Flying that Nerd Flag high!
I’ll put mine up a little later.
Just thought I would suggest anyone with Jagr on their wish list is immediately banned.

He’s not on my wishlist, but I do wonder if the Canucks are 1 of the 3 teams interested in him. I hope not. He’s not going to be the same player and it wouldn’t be worth the cap hit. We need someone a tad younger to play with Kes. Or at least if it’s an older player, it should be someone that has been in the NHL the last few years and can handle its rigors.

Some of the blame has to fall on Kesler, who tends to invoke Trevor Linden’s ‘’screw it, I’ll just do this myself’’ philosophy when things aren’t clicking.
http://www.theprovince.com/sports/Gillis+needs+look+hard+second+line/4978971/story.html
My rosterbation starts and stops with more players who say that to themselves.
'Nucks Misconduct - Housing Swedish Millionaires Since 2000.
"Pucks are awful little things" - Passive Voice.
I think the commentary might be that sometimes Kesler tries those “call for the puck and then try to drive through 3 players” plays. When it works (like in Nashville) it is a beautiful sight. When it doesn’t, it’s a turnover.
I do think Kesler could use a better pure offensive option on his line.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
You want more guys who say “screw it, I’ll just do this myself”?
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Sort of. I like that attitude better. I agree with Jevant above it’s a double edged sword but it’s a philosophy that speaks to me. Kesler got linked to Messier for a reason; I want that.

To a degree. Having more guys saying “screw it I’m doing it myself” wouldn’t have helped us out against Boston though
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Debatable, but more or less I’m echoing what I said in yesterday’s thread about someone like Clowe or Hartnell: the top six needs a guy with size and soft hands, one that has the ability to change a game and chuck these guys over his shoulder would be ideal. Finesse/Power/Shutdown as the top nine (though “power” is subjective there as long as Raymond or Sammy are riding shotgun).

I think Kesler does have thus tendency
But it is more symptom than cause of the problem. If he had someone to pass the puck to I don’t think he’d be so inclined to feel like he has to do it all himself.

So I moved Raymond and our first round pick to the ’peg for Evander Kane, who can sub with Burr on the 1st and 2nd lines, depending on the element needed (skills vs size). I also let Ehrhoff walk, I think we have so many good defencemen, we can afford that. Otherwise, mostly modest raises for the guys who really helped us out this year. And we have some cap space to boot for the coming trade deadline!

first round pick
and Mason Raymond is not so bad for Kane. Raymond is a servicable all-around bottom second/top third line player who has speed, can kill penalties and chip in offensively from time to time. Then they get a first round pick.
We could even give up a mid-level prospect too.

If we’re packaging a big deal in their direction, I’d target Ladd over Kane. Not a chance in hell since they need Ladd as captain to help sell the team in their new home, but since this is all for fun, I’d move picks, prospects and whatever else it would take for Ladd.

I could give a shit if Kesler and Ladd hate each other. It would be a new day to have someone of his quality mixed into the core.

I think it goes for pretty much any player. Everything on the ice gets forgotten when you become part of the same team. Now, if something happens off the ice…different story.

Disagree
One of the ongoing stories out of Philadelphia over the past several seasons is a seriously malfunctioning dressing room. Don’t forget that they barely made it into the playoffs before getting to the finals last year.

TJ Oshie
is an RFA and id love to see him on a line with Kesler
Don't drink and park, accidents cause people!
If it ain't got a packet, go home and whack it.
I'm just a loser geek, crazy with an evil streak! -- everclear
Wasn't there
a disciplinary issue with him last season?
I'll do it tomorrow, that seems like a pretty good idea to me
What's wrong with tomorrow, I'm watching him but who's watching me?
I think he slept in and missed practice. Then got in shit from him coach and teammates.

he’s also a GD cacodemon; he can sleep in until 1830 on game days for all i care :D.
but the blues aren’t likely to let him go anywhere.

I still like Kane
local boy, lots of talent, size and some speed. Would be a great look with the Sedins and Kesler and could likely resign him next year to a hometown discount.

Trading with our ex-farm team?
Winnipeg is the last team on earth that will allow itself to do some ungodly trade with us – just because they were our farm team for the past 5 years! Craig Heisinger is the dude that brought us Alex Burrows from roller hockey ECHL, watched over the development of Kes, Edler, Raymond, Jank, CoHo, Schroeder, Shark, Schneider, Tanev. If there is one team who has our players scouted through the roof and knows almost exactly what MG is thinking because they’ve been working together for the past 3 years.
The only way Peg will trade with us is if there is a pending UFA that they cannot sign and they trade the signing rights to us before the UFA signing period – a la Ladd.
by nucklinBadger on Jun 21, 2011 5:14 PM PDT up reply actions
Just because they know our players
doesn’t mean they won’t trade with us. Not all trades have to be rip offs. If they know what they are getting they will know if they are getting value. Both teams could easily come to a trade that works for both parties.

I endorse any course of action that puts Evander Kane in a Canuck jersey
Assuming the Sedins, Luongo, Kesler, Edler, Bieksa and Hamhuis are untouchable.
AFAIC, Winnipeg can touch the shit out of Luongo, Bieksa, and Edler if Kane’s on the table.

There are three guys I want like holy shit hot goddamn:
-Ryane Clowe
-Evander Kane
-Nicklas Grossman (who apparently has had two knee-on-knee injuries this spring, so doctors’ due diligence is required…)
I’d be willing to move anything in the organization not named Sedin, Kesler, or Hamhuis to get these three. I’m really pissed off about Mason’s back right now, because he could have been a starting point for one of these guys. But if we’re rosterbating (and you better believe I am), this would get me 90% of the way there:

but I am leery of trading Edler. He’s making progress every year and I think he would have been a beast these playoffs were it not for that back injury against Dallas.

notafullcolon CS: Well obviously I meant we were snorting blow off hookers at the time of the goal

Too bad we can’t rosterbate about trading Ehrhoff/Co-Ho for Parise (or Kane).

yeah I agree
moving Ehrhoff for that would be awesome. I’d be up for moving Sammy to NJ in a package for Parise, but not inter division.

the cap
i read that it’s NOT $64 mil; it’s just the upper bound figure the NHLPA arrived at by triggering the 5% inflation clause. the official figure hasn’t been released by the NHL yet. am i correct or no?
Hasn't been released yet, no
But a lot of insiders are saying they’re hearing it will be close to 64. Maybe 63.5
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
I'm doing my best
But I don’t find a single place on the roster where we could reasonably fit Cody Hodgson or Jordan Schroeder, unless one of them can play right wing. But that denies my dream first line of Henrik and Daniel with Jannik Hansen.
As free agents I want Zenon Konopka from the Islanders and Jay Harrison from the Hurricanes. Should both come for cheap and fill needed defensive roles. Ballard ought to be traded, Ehrhoff and Alberts should walk. My defense:
2 – 3
23 – 29
Tanev – Harrison
Maybe get Salo back in there if he signs for less than $2M.
The forwards don’t need much tinkering with, I think the key is a healthy Mikael Samuelsson who gives Ryan Kesler somebody to play with. We’ll see what happens after the draft. Hodgson might be able to land a good piece. Preferably a left winger.
Yeah. I’ve pretty much already dealt Hodgson and given Shroeder another season in the minors.
I went to Home Depot and bought some lumber, so I can build a catapult and get Ehrhoff out of Vancouver as quickly as possible.
I’ve got 3.5-4 mil to spend on a top 6 winger, and really that is pretty much my only addition.
Win it for Manny!
Nucks Misconduct's chief slab of man meat and resident doucherocket.
Harrison reupped
With the Hurricanes a couple of days ago. 1.4 over 2 years , I believe.
I'll do it tomorrow, that seems like a pretty good idea to me
What's wrong with tomorrow, I'm watching him but who's watching me?
i am thinking a 2nd line of booth, kesler and laich would work…
too bad raymond is injured, or i would package raymond, schroeder, 1st 2011 for booth + 2nd 2011
and sign laich for 3.8-4 mil
erhroff would be gone unless we can dump ballard which i doubt
sedin sedin burrows
booth kesler laich
samuelsson malholtra hansen
torres lapierre oreskovich
i like this forward group alot more…
if booth doesnt work… i could see us signing fleishmann to play with kesler and laich… flash and laich played together in washington before so there could be some chemistry… i think he can be had for 3 mill
No to Fleischmann
Too soft, imo.

The first two defensive pairings are insane!
Hammer / Weber and Bieksa / Edler? Wow. And the 3rd pairing is Salo and Tanev?!? Goalies would be knocking on our door to play backup if we trade Schneider lol.
Plausible Target #1
Should Ehrhoff’s demands get silly, and I suspect they might, we’ll need another PP option on D (hopefully on the cheapish). I submit for your consideration Anton Stralman.

Summary
CBJ fans are pretty much done with Stralman, as far as I can tell. It’s my hope that CBJ management feels the same way, because I think he could be an Ehrhoff-type acquisition. His PDO this year was laughably bad, which basically means he oughta come cheaper than he otherwise would (Aside: scroll up to the top of that list to find one of the primary reasons I’m leery of paying Juice huge coin). I can see Anton Stralman being 80% of Ehrhoff for 50% of the cost.
Offensive
Well that’ll fit right in with the new “villain” Canucks thing we’re going for these days
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"

The future is now
with Cody. He is going to have a big year. He would actually a very good replacement for Ehrhoff. Good offensive upside and his D may already be better than Christian’s. Despite how nice his lips are.

He’s not top-3 though, I was going to give him a couple of years of experience before he reaches that point, but I agree. He can capably put up 80%-90% of Ehrhoff’s offensive production.

Yeah I mean
I think he is close to being a top 3 guy next year. He certainly is capable of playing with Edler on our second pair and I think they would be incredibly tough to play against.

SALARY CAP: $63,400,000; CAP PAYROLL: $62,758,333; BONUSES: $2,410,000
CAP SPACE (23-man roster): $641,666
So CS, Coho, Schroeder and any pick other than our first this year would be used to acquire Evander Kane. I got Winnipeg to throw in Jim Slater who is cheap and gives us an added presence on the 4th line. He can kill penalties and is a natural center with very good face off skills. He centers the 4th line if we need him too. Lappy and Slater kind of interchange. Lack is the backup this year and we draft that young American goalie late in the first round. John Gibson I believe? He’s the next CS. This give Luongo 2-3 years before Gibson and Lack take over. I have some money left so if Lack isn’t ready to back up we can spend 1-1.5 million on a capable back up goalie.
I want to move Samuelson and Raymond at some point for a right winger to play with Kesler and Kane.
Montador is a local kid who can play 20 minutes a night and is fairly durable. He and Salo can alternate. Rome is the number 8 guy and plays if a couple guys are hurt.
Raymond is on LTIR.
Ideally I would love to see the 2nd line revamped. Raymond and Samuelson gone and replaced with Evander and someone else. But it might not be possible right away. Maybe wait until closer to the deadline where a team might take on Samy’s expiring deal in a trade.

I would take a flier
on Bergfors and Jessiman plus their 1st this year in exchange for our 2rd or third rounder.
Bergfors, Jessiman and a first for Luongo and a 3rd.
Bergfors could be a nice fit while Raymond is hurt and could make Raymond tradeable. Jessiman may never make an impact in the NHL but a 6’6 230 lbs winger as a call up for the 4th line would be cool. And Couturier or Landeskog out of the draft would be sweet.

Goes against the “win-now” mentality, but the cap savings would be nice, and Bergfors may or may not ever amount to anything, but he was a big-time prospect with New Jersey.

In all honesty
who do you guys see GM MG taking a run at this summer? No big moves necessary but he can’t not make a move. Some minor upgrades are necessary particularly if Hoff goes elsewhere and Kes needs wingers so bad.

Nice
besides Sammy and Torres we had very little Cup final experience. Now that the season’s over that number has obviously increased. The guys now know the feeling of playing in a Game 7 Cup Final but we need a guy who’s won. I think that veteran experience would be such an intangible in the locker room. So long as the core of the team’s chemistry is not messed with, I’m good.

The guys now know the feeling of playing in a Game 7 Cup Final but we need a guy who’s won.
This may be off topic here, but Canuck_gal touched on an interesting question:
Since the whole Canucks team now has the Game7/SC Final experience, does this experience count for less than actually winning the cup? And I don’t mean experiencing the thrill of lifting the cup, since that didn’t happen. But the actual playing experience.
I know that the experience of winning the cup is highly valued amongst coaches and managers, and players who whave it tend to get the coaches attention around the League. But the Canucks went through the same grueling experience, knocking out teams after teams, until the very last game. If the Canucks won 1:0 in game 7, would that count for much more experience than the current 4:0 loss?
The relevance of this may be seen in the money that these players command in the open free-agent market. A player who won the cup may be asking more than a player who lost in game 7, even though the playing experience is minimal, in my view.
Los Angeles, CA
Surely having got to Game 7 and lost, they now know how to win.

Jussi Jokinen is apparently out of the Carolina Hurricanes’ price range. Joni Pitkanen and Chad LaRose, too. Maybe Erik Cole as well.
Even if the Hurricanes wanted to keep all four players, it wouldn’t be financially feasible. As it is, they seem to think they can get more money elsewhere, more than the Hurricanes are willing or able to offer.

From 30 thoughts
5. Considering the level of disappointment the Vancouver organization had with the refereeing in the Stanley Cup Final, the Sedins showed an unbelievable amount of class by skating over to the officials after the handshakes and thanking them. According to one source, their comments were along the lines of, “We know that a lot gets said. This is an emotional time and you shouldn’t take all of it personally.” And, if anyone thinks that makes them soft, the two Flyers who did the same thing last year were Mike Richards and Chris Pronger.
6. Daniel Sedin had the truest post-mortem: “If we’d scored on the power play, the Bruins couldn’t have played the way they did.” Obviously, Brad Marchand drove Vancouver crazy. But, the Canucks had several similar players who got quieter as the series went longer. That’s something the organization will have to investigate.
9. Forget the contract. Roberto Luongo and the Vancouver Canucks should take a deep breath, wait a little while until the emotion dies down, then seriously and honestly chat about the future. Doubt he’d have complaints about the organization, but it says a lot about his stature in the city that the Canucks scored just eight goals in seven games and Luongo is receiving the most blame. My guess: He loves his teammates, but can’t stand the fan base. Is that enough for him to want to stay?
10. If he wants to leave, would $30-million-under-the-floor Florida be interested? Would Luongo sell tickets and create interest in Sunrise? I’d be curious to hear from Panthers fans on this one. (Florida does have uber-prospect Jacob Markstrom.)
11. If he wants to stay, Luongo has to have a great year. I’ve written before Vancouver won’t trade Corey Schneider unless the offer is extremely good. That goes triple now. It’s not the fairest thing in the world, but, in the new CBA, owners will go after a less onerous buyout. If they get it, some of the long-term deals will be jeopardized.
18. Jannik Hansen had a really good playoff for Vancouver (especially impressing the Sharks), but there was one play that really stunned a couple of opposing coaches. In Game 6, he thought he scored early in the third to cut Boston’s lead to 4-2, even raising his gloves in celebration as the puck went by. Then, he went to the bench, where Glenn Healy heard him say he wasn’t sure it was a goal. (It wasn’t.) “I couldn’t believe it when I heard that,” one said. “At this time of year, you’ve got to be sure. If he didn’t celebrate, he could have knocked in the rebound.”
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"

but when every time they get cross checked to the ice is called a dive, I think it’s exaggerated.
(that reputation needs to be repaired, btw, to the point where I doubt resigning lapierre)
Lapierre curbed the shitshow when he came to Vancouver. He’s no angel, but I believe he was told the way it was going to be and listened.
He’s no more guilty of losing his composure in the finals than 3/4 of the team.
I expect the whole team to reset next season and go back to what got them there in the first place….making teams pay a man down.

Yeah that’s why they should cut it out, like you are more or less saying in the last sentence of your comment. I don’t blame the refs for not making the crosschecking calls against them.

I think this is relevant, from JT Bourne, who is probably my favorite puck daddy guy. On fan shit, and perceptions:
http://www.jtbourne.com/twitter-exposure-extreme-fandom/
Dives/diver – There are a very few players in the league who consistently dive, and we know who they are. Beyond that, everyone occasionally embellishes to get a call. There is no team in the league who has a collective plan to dive, I promise you that.
The reason I hate this one so, so much, is because it’s an out for fans. Some people seem to genuinely believe their guys NEVER actually deserve penalties. There are plenty of times on the bench as a teammate where you go "oh fuck Smitty, you can’t hook him there," and you go out and kill it. You understand that your guys, just like their guys, are fighting for inches.
So why can’t the hardcore at home understand that? And further, why should penalties always even out in a game? Sometimes one team took a lot more penalties than the other, legitimately. I’ve heard stuff like "of course they won, they had five powerplays to our one!" ……YA. Because your team took more penalties which is bad.
but it says a lot about his stature in the city that the Canucks scored just eight goals in seven games and Luongo is receiving the most blame. My guess: He loves his teammates, but can’t stand the fan base. Is that enough for him to want to stay?
That is a fucking joke. Lou wants to play for a WINNER or a team focused on winning. He ain’t going back to fire sale Florida. What the fuck. Nice guess, Elliot, but you’re as much of an ass as Botchford on this one. And really, fuck the hating fans. And I’m talking about the ones that don’t fully understand hockey, because, like the idiots on CDC, they hate on a different player every week.

I'd bet on fewer changes (especially of the big variety)
1. I don’t see management/coaching as ready to give up on Hodgson, Ballard, etc. yet.
2. I expect we’ll see even more of Schneider next year (which is a good thing).
3. I feel really bad for the guy and hope he recovers fully, but I really think we’ve seen Raymond’s best. I don’t see how he fits with this team in the long run.
4. Samuelsson, Kes, Higgins doesn’t sound horrible as a second line (although I’m loving the bigger, faster lines proposed above). Malhotra & Hansen on Line 3 and Torres & Lapierre relegated to Line 4.
5. Oreskovich can and should handle bigger minutes next year. Promotion up the depth chart could reap dividends.
6. How close are the Sweatts to being ready?

If MayRay can’t make it back by the start of the season, try converting CoHo to Kesler’s wing. If MayRay’s back, trade CoHo for picks?
Let Higgins, Ehrhoff and Alberts go.
Hopefully bring back Salo for a discount.
New faces:
Antti Miettinen (why not, has decent scoring ability)
Joel Ward (good two way player, make our 3rd line even better)
Jan Hejda (probably would want more but hey it’s rosterbation).
As an aside, I still can’t believe we have Burrows signed for 2 mil for a couple more years. Bless him.
Joel Ward?

I’m worried about Joel Ward, I think he’ll make a lot more than he’s worth after that playoff run he’s had. And I’d rather have Higgins than Miettinen, because I believe they have similar scoring abilities, but Higgins plays the body better?

I mean when he’s an opposing player, he can torpedo the Canucks in a series. Guys like Byfuglien and Ward seemingly have the ability to singlehandedly take down our team. So signing him away from a team we would face is just as big as acquiring his services…

Lol well...
I was fishing for a guy who had some scoring touch but wasnt’t old (Langenbrunner, Samsonov, Prospal, etc) or would cost a lot (Cole, Gagne, etc).
It came down to either Scottie Upshall or Miettinen, and the “why not” was from picking between the two :P
We've already got a couple
guys who are only capable of scoring 20-25 goals playing with Kes. If we aren’t improving what’s the point?

We don't have that many potential +20 goal scorers do we?
Aside from MayRay and Samuelsson who I’m sure can be +20 goal scorers, who else are we talking about here? Maybe Hansen if given the opportunity or CoHo converted to wing maybe. Tambellini?
And I like Higgins and all, but I’d assume he’d want roughly the same amount of money he was making which would put him up there in cost.
Miettinen, I don’t think he’d fit on the 1st line with the twins, but with Kesler I think he’d be a solid 2nd / 3rd line guy who can score ~20 and also be a good two way player. He’s also purportedly a very hard worker and he has something to prove after being mediocre in Minny. Of course Minny soured on him, but that was after sticking him on the first line and trying to make him into something he’s not (feathery-touch goal scorer). He just comes off as more of a lunch pail goal scorer who can shovel in goals, something I think would suit the Nucks.
Well as far as I know
only two forwards are going to play with Kesler at any one time. Samuelsson or MarRay replaced with Miettinen? It is a lateral move as far as I can see.

Sure but knowing AV's propensity to roster tinker
I’d rather have more options who can both score and be moved up and down through the line up as needed while still playing their roles.
I’m not a big Samuelsson fan anymore (was high on him when we initially got him). I don’t think he plays hard enough as a 3rd / 4th line player who’s tasked with playing a more defensive role.
If we could get rid of Samuelsson altogether (contingent on getting Joel Ward……..), I’d move Hansen back up to the 3rd line with Manny and slot in someone else, Oreo maybe, as the 4th line winger instead.
Would GM MG
really trade Raymond given the status of his health? And what team would be take a player who is as critically injured as Raymond is at this point.

Paul Kariya
Anyone else want to see this future Hall of Famer come home? He is one of the classiest players of our generation, and has always been a productive player.
Yes he is 36, and yes he didn’t play last year, but if he is healthy I think this might be a really smart move.
Think 1 year deal worth 1 million dollars.
If it doesn’t work out, then at least we get to watch a brilliant player reach 1,000 points. If it does… we could have a 60 point player that can create plays on his own on the cheap.
Maybe get Ronning
out of retirement. Play a super small lineup every night. It will be like hobbits fighting a cave troll. They can’t hit us as we skate between their legs.

raymond starts on the LTIR, higgins walks, and although i don’t want him to leave ballard is traded. i’d like to keep ehrhoff, i remember reading here earlier in the year how important he was to our PP. ladd is traded for, hodgson takes the right wing on kes’s line, and the wingers on the bottom 6 are all basically interchangable…

Bolduc is gone – ufa I think someone said.
I think it’ll take more than that for Hansen – probably 1.2.
I’d love it if we could get Ladd. I actually like that this doesn’t look too different from what we had this year. The wild card is how Cody will work on the wing. Hopefully that’s what he’ll be working on in the offseason. He would look pretty good there.

Yup, you’re right, it is high for him. That might actually be what Winnipeg (I actually typed in Atlanta, read my post, and had to change this!) would be willing to pay him if they wanted to lock him up to be their captain.

A best ever season after being low on the depth chart for the stacked blackhawks and being promoted to the first/second line minutes he can play.

If that
came to pass, I’d really like to see Parise and Burr swap spots.
I'll do it tomorrow, that seems like a pretty good idea to me
What's wrong with tomorrow, I'm watching him but who's watching me?
Parise
doesn’t make much sense with the Sedins imo.
Plus we should all remember the Sedins were point a game players before Burr landed on their line and now they win Hart trophies. They give him credit for that. We should too.

Parise
is another little guys isn’t he? Any worries about that knee injury? Those have a nasty habit of reappearing…
I agree with Section
If we somehow rosterbate to having Parise on our team, he’d be a nice fit on the Kesler line. I’d hate to see the Sedins separated from Burrows. I think the chemistry is there and Burrows does so many things that make the twins lives easier.
Well, I am sure the Preds and Bruins would love that

if TB signs a high profile player like Richards, they may be looking to dump ryan malone
what is everyone’s take on malone?
ballard + for malone? similar contracts, benefits both teams…
a 2nd line of malone kesler laich would be nice… we still have raymond that we can sub in there if we needed more speed
malone is pretty injury prone, he’s only played more than 80 games once and that was in his rookie season. plus 27 goals as a career high (4 seasons ago!) i don’t see him doing much more here…
I saw him taking a bunch of stupid penalties in the playoffs

Gelatinous Mutant Coconut Rostebration (Sounds kinky, doesn't it?)
My moves are simple. It involves only minor tweaking.
Step 1. At the draft, trade Keith Ballard and Ryan Parent to the Columbus Blue Jackets for the negotiating rights to Scottie Upshall and conditional 2nd round draft pick (conditional on re-signing Upshall)
Step 2. Re-sign RFA’s Maxim Lapierre and Jannick Hansen
Step 3. Re-sign UFA’s Kevin Bieksa, Christian Ehrhoff, Sami Salo and Jeff Tambellini
Step 4. Sign UFA Zenon Konopka
Step 5. Win 2012 Stanley Cup

also true
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
22 goals is more than Raymond, Samuelsson or Higgins had.
And they all spent considerable time on the 2nd line.
Upshall’s 22 goals also came with the Phoenix Coyotes and Columbus Blue Jackets. Not exactly offensive powerhouses. He also didn’t play with anyone nearing Kesler’s talent. The previous season, in Phoenix, he scored on a goal-per-game basis that would have netted him 30 goals had he played 80 games rather than 49.
Andrew Ladd is a good comparable. He also score on average 15 goals for a few seasons after being a top entry draft pick. Given more ice-time and responsibility, he scored career highs last season.
And as always, 3.25 is worst-case scenario. maybe he’s netted for 2.5-2..75. But 20 goal scorers on the open market will net about 3 million. Upshall made 2.25 a season and scored a career high in goals. Is he not in line for a million dollar raise? Especially with a shallow UFA market. I’m sure many GM’s will be aiming to add a young, physical, defensively responsible scorer to their ranks.
The Canucks desperately need someone like him on the 2nd line.

Raymond
11 goals then 25 big pay day then 15 goals. Upshall just cause a guy scored a certain amount of goals doesn’t mean he will again. And Grabner scored at a higher rate in New York than he did here. Ladd scored more on a bad team. So it isn’t a given that coming here means a guys production will improve. If Upshall is over 3 million he is being over paid in my opinion. Plus paying a guy for goals is risky. He doesn’t get assists. Meaning if he isn’t scoring he isn’t contributing. He was also a big time minus in CBJ. And his goal exploits the year before in an injury shortened year were aided by an unsustainable shooting percentage.

worst case scenario's.
Ideally, Bieksa and Ehrhoff take the same amount of money that Hamhuis makes (Slight hometown discount, similar to a few seasons ago when the top 4 d all average 3.5 million a season). But 5 million is what they would make on the open market.
‘As for Hansen, he’s developing into an excellent defensive forward. He’ll never score big goals, but his speed, tenacity and fore/back-checking make him worth it.
great third liners in their prime are making around 2 million now.
If we can get him for less, great.

There are plenty of players on your team I'd back up, Ms. Seven
Prior to the playoffs, I didn’t really know a whole lot about your “Great Dane” Jannik. But after his breakaway goal, leaving Hossa in the dust, it was my “oh, we are so fucked” moment in the series as a Hawks fan. Granted, this was only game 1 and the Hawks would hold on a lot longer than I expected, but Hansen really made an impact on me in that series.
Let's Go Hawks!
Oops
That was a poor choice of words. I meant he’d never be a big scorer…a consistent 20 goa;+ guy. Not that he can’t score important goals. Obviously the goals that he does score are at the exact right time!

So my moves are:
1) Trade Hodgson, 1st Round Pick (2011), 2nd Round Pick (2012) for Jeff Carter.
2) To replace Christian Ehrhoff… sign Tomas Kaberle.
3) Complete our revamped second line? Take a flier on 36 year old Paul Kariya at a million bucks.
4) Mason Raymond on LTIR. He would be the contingency plan if Kariya is injured/ineffective… Or Samuelsson could play there if it doesn’t work out, or if Raymond is out for longer.
5) Stay the course! Our team is great so don’t overhaul it! I gave Salo and Torres more $$ than most people here just to make sure we could fit them in with the Jeff Carter addition. Obviously I’d love for MG to bring them back for less.

i don’t get people who always list Tanev as the 7th defensemen.
either play him here or play him in manitoba.
I completely agree. But with Salo in the plans…. Keep him close!!
Anyways… that spot is a depth D guy anyways. I just wanted to build the core. :)
Tanev
…is going to make it much easier to lowball Ehrhoff and/or Salo.
The only problem I have with that is that losing Ehrhoff means losing 40+ points from a D man

I am confident
Ballard, Tanev and Edler can pick up the slack.
Ballard is a consistent 20+ point dman when he was playing top 4 minutes. Salo’s and likely 3 of our other dmen are going to get injured, and Tanev has the tools to be a great puck moving dman
Eddie is only going to get better, remember how he was going to hit 50+ points this year before he was injured?
In my rosterbation post
My rationale for Tanev as the 7th D-man was so Salo plays less games = less chances of injury (well ok, in Salo’s case that’s debatable), so rotate Salo and Tanev in the lineup. I’d rather keep him close at hand.
I just raped the rec button

See… I find this interesting. For a D that was looking at 5 million per season before the Boston trade, no one wants this guy!
I would take Kaberle every day of the week, and twice on Sunday’s, over Ehrhoff if he is available for the bargain bin price everyone is talking about. I listed him at 4.25 mil because that was his cap hit last season, but it sounds like it could be even lower!
Was Ehrhoff really any better than Kaberle last season? You can point to all the numbers you want to back up Ehrhoff, but I have a very strong suspicion any contract Kaberle gets will look better than any deal Ehrhoff gets.
Lets look for some value this offseason! I’ll take my chances on an undervalued, 47 point D man, that is a career plus player.
If we get rid of a mistake-prone defenceman we shouldn’t pick up another one!

Are we expecting to lose?
I don’t disagree with you that your point is valid.
I just don’t see him as a viable option like you do. I don’t see him putting up 50 points, nor do I see him as an upgrade over Ehrhoff. Nor will I expect him to take a huge pay-cut. And I definitely don’t want to sign him to anything for more than a year or 2 given his age.

Fair enough. I see him scoring 45-50 points rather easily because our Power play is so potent, and he is such a good passer.
Also, at 33, Kaberle really isn’t that old. Especially for a defenseman. You might have to worry about the mileage on his body however. He’s been around for a while and has played a ton of minutes.
There is no such thing as a risk free contract. But a 3 year 10 million dollar deal for Kaberle is low risk, and you are unlikely to regret it.
Look, I have been watching Kaberle for years and he turns the puck over like a fiend. He makes Ehrhoff and the old Bieksa look like hockey Jesus

I never said he didn’t. I’m also not suggesting we have him on our first unit PK. (or even our second)
I just think that 3 months destroyed a players value. When he’s been good for a careers worth of hockey.
Maybe its the trader in me. I love getting undervalued assets, and Kaberle screams discount, while other immediate options do not. (Ehrhoff…..)
Yes
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
To make room for Carter, he would most likely be dumped for a draft pick to a team trying to spend to the cap floor, or actually wants to give him top four minutes.
So essentially it’s a trade of:
Ballard
for
Kaberle + a draft pick
Plus cap space.
Ehrhoff put up 28 points on the Power Play. Kaberle is a better passer, and much better at holding the line. He would easily replace Ehrhoff’s offence.
His blunders in Boston were over reported, and have destroyed his value. The fact that he doesn’t shoot a whole lot isn’t a big deal, as our PP doesn’t ask our right D to always rifle shots.
OT but I thought this was very cute :)

As much as I'd like to see
us acquire a Parise, Weber and so on, it should be pretty clear that all that is just a pipe dream. I like to rosterbate a blockbuster trade or five as much as anyone else, but this year I’m just gonna keep it realistic. Gillis made it clear we’re not in for any major changes, so I’m going to assume that means no trading of any regulars (aside from Ballard and/or Schneider perhaps) and likely re-signing a good portion of our UFA/RFAs. This is what I see as possible and desirable:
1. Re-sign the following players:
Bieksa – 5 years, $4.5 million per
Salo – 1 year, $1.6 million
Hansen – 2 years, $1.5 million per
Higgins – 1 year, $1.5 million
Lapierre – 1 year, $1.2 million (he’s an RFA so we may as well keep him)
Oreskovich – 1 year, $625,000
Give Alberts $900,000 to sit in the press box
(Ehrhoff is a possibility too but personally I think he’ll walk for more money elsewhere)
2. Sign Scottie Upshall to a 3-year contract at $2.75 million per (or Brooks Laich, either one really)
3. Win. A lot.
Your 2011-12 lineup:
Daniel Sedin ($6.100m) / Henrik Sedin ($6.100m) / Alexandre Burrows ($2.000m)
Mason Raymond ($2.550m) / Ryan Kesler ($5.000m) / Mikael Samuelsson ($2.500m)
Jannik Hansen ($1.500m) / Manny Malhotra ($2.500m) / Scottie Upshall ($2.750m)
Chris Higgins ($1.600m) / Maxim Lapierre ($1.400m) / Cody Hodgson ($1.666m)
Victor Oreskovich ($0.625m)
Dan Hamhuis ($4.500m) / Kevin Bieksa ($4.500m)
Alexander Edler ($3.250m) / Sami Salo ($1.750m)
Chris Tanev ($0.900m) / Keith Ballard ($4.200m)
Aaron Rome ($0.750m) / Andrew Alberts ($0.900m)
Roberto Luongo ($5.333m) / Cory Schneider ($0.900m)
SALARY CAP: $64,000,000; CAP PAYROLL: $63,274,999; BONUSES: $850,000
CAP SPACE (23-man roster): $725,001
Raymond will be injured to start but there’s more than enough forward depth there to compensate. I don’t know about you guys but I think minimal changes are all that need to be made. Hodgson will likely become a regular, Tanev is pure awesome and I’m pretty confident Ballard can rebound. Ehrhoff’s offense can be replaced by Edler mostly, and his proneness to errors will be dissipated by Tanev’s magically mistake-free hockey. If Ballard fails, replace him with Rome and trade him during the season if possible, but if given regular minutes I think he can find his game again.
Of course, I would love to come up with a crazy Raymond-Tanev-CoHo-for-Weber trade or a complete overhaul roster but in the end nothing of the sort will happen so I’ll just save it for a game of NHL 11 when I’m bored.
Only thing is
I hear Scottie is a party animal.

If not Jokinen, then maybe Erik Cole or Ville Leino for around the 2.5-3m area.
I prefer Leino myself, offers more size/hitting/grit.
But Jokinen brings more skill, I guess.

Joel ward?
I’m on my phone so searching is hard. Has anyone mentioned acquiring Joel ward? He’s big, looked good in the playoffs. Maybe with a better team he would flourish?
by Canuckelhead on Jun 22, 2011 12:22 AM PDT via mobile reply actions
Not a bad suggestion
but if Poile doesn’t re-sign him, things are going to get bad in the fanbase
I saw up above
That someone suggested him as a third line player. At least he’s on the upswing which is more than I can say for a lot of the guys being tossed around. He was the best offensive predator in that series and were looking for a big guy with speed andhands to play with kesler. I hear what you’re saying tho. If he likes Nashville that’s where he’ll be. Maybe the CBC attention made him jonsey for more attention?
by Canuckelhead on Jun 22, 2011 12:37 AM PDT via mobile up reply actions
My only worry about him
Is he scored about as many points in the 2 rounds of the playoffs as the regular season. He could easily get well overpaid and not pan out at all
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Me neither

Yeah, Ward’s a good player, but like Sean Bergenheim, you want to get them before they shoot 20-25% during the playoffs.

Ward
Yeah, you don’t want to overpay but he seems like a real lunch pail kinda player which would be nice
Yeah
You guys are probably right and I thought he was younger too.
by Canuckelhead on Jun 22, 2011 10:46 AM PDT via mobile up reply actions
I had him in my rosterbation post
I don’t think he’s worth a huge raise though. Baring the playoffs, he didn’t really do all that much in the regular season, and he strikes me as a player who isn’t going to get all that much better moving forward. But I do think he’d be a great fit for say our 3rd line or some occasional 2nd line duty.

might be reasonable now, although I would argue he is not as good as Kesler, but it won’t be in 2020 when he is 35 years old. How comfortable is he on the wing?

I completely agree. Not as good as Kesler, but it wont throw our salary hierarchy out of whack either.
If he earns his salary until his late prime (32 or so), you could trade his cheap annual salary to a team looking to finagle their way to the cap floor.
If we got six seasons like his last three, I would welcome him to the fold!
I'm trying to recall...
Is it Carter that has a hate on for Kesler? I know he and Umberger despise each other, but for some reason I’m thinking Carter and Kes have a history, too…

O.M.G
Just got a great comeback for all those. Lou is overpaid.Is the 7.1his cap hit, Yikes!
Alright here we go
I went with 63.5M just to be safe. And we traded Raymond or Samuelsson to Philly to get Hartnell because they needed to shed some salary after signing Bryzgalov to a ridiculous deal. I kept Salo over Ehrhoff because he would be a lot cheaper, and I like his defensive game better (and he can still ride shotgun on the PP and let some cannons go). And so we have extra D just in case.
Really don’t know what the hell to do with CoHo at this point. His bonuses counting towards the cap really throw a wrench in things, and I don’t think he’s ready to just slot in on the second line yet.
Maybe if we keep Raymond we start the season with Cody on wing on line 2 until Raymond is off LTIR? Or trade him for some other stuff. I really don’t know.

Of course that line up is flexible. Maybe you keep Burr on the top line and put Hartnell on Kes’ wing.
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
I don’t mind that. Not sure if I’d give Raffi or Hansen THAT much of a raise. Hartnell seems like a reasonable target, and it’s definitely more along the lines of the “tweak” we are expecting out of GMMG.
What happens with CoHo is one of the biggest dominoes, in my opinion. I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see him traded at the draft, actually.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
Yeah
I wanted to give Hansen and Torres less, but I have a feeling they’ll get more, especially Torres since he’s UFA.
I originally penciled in Torres for 1.5M and Hansen for 1.3M but upped it
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Personally I’d let Torres walk if he’s more than $1.25. I’m not convinced we can’t get sufficient production out of Oreskovich to render his play superfluous. If we add another F this offseason (and assuming we don’t trade Raymond or Samuelsson), I think I’d prefer a cheaper option. But that’s just personal preference.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
Wise choice keeping Salo, IMO. I was SO impressed with that guy throughout the whole playoffs. Now if he will just stay healthy…
Let's Go Hawks!
I’m more confident about Salo returning than I am any other FA for the Canucks this season. Would be floored if he’s not back, and he’s probably going to take a big paycut (I think the $2m is pretty well spot on) to do so.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
Me too
He really wants to win, and I think he really wants it to be here, and I think he was the most sincere about taking a discount to come back.
And his defense is just so much better than Ehrhoff, and the offense isn’t that far off
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
So Boring Semi.

"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
just picking on you. I can see that happening, actually, I was going to post my capgeek roster, but I had the exact same roster. I decided not to post it because it wasn’t creative enough. I doubt Raffi gets 1.75 and even Hansen getting 1.5. I’d up Bieksa to 4.5, and give Ballard a full training camp/ till trade deadline to prove his worth before moving him. He and Tanev played just fine as a second or third pairing.
And if Preds really are willing to deal, Hodgson for Franson straight-up, we can then move on and try to package Ballard and one of Sammy/MayRay for a top-tier wing to play with Kes.

Also. I see no good reason not to bring in Filatov, especially at the cost of a 5th round pick. With a strong leadership core, I wouldn’t mind his talents and at first signs of trouble, ship his ass out. My only concern is that Filatov is more of a sniper, and less of a power forward.

Hard to provide them with salary relief though, unless they settle for picks. I don’t know if there’s anything we have that they’ll be interested in, that’s also a small hit on the cap.

He would go so well with Anton Rodin.
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Opinions
Kostitsyn, 23 goals 27 assists was a +10 played the PK and PP. only made 585k last year.
is an RFA with Nashville who has alot of forwards to sign and has tight purse strings.
Don't drink and park, accidents cause people!
If it ain't got a packet, go home and whack it.
I'm just a loser geek, crazy with an evil streak! -- everclear
I think Kostitsyn is one of the worst top 6 forwards in the league. He enjoyed his season due to an unsustainable 24.7% shooting percentage… I remember in the Canuck series the announcers were wondering why he wasn’t showing up, and I remember thinking that it’s because he is a terrible hockey player and was doing what you should expect. Nothing.
Yep
I would stay away from him for that reason – that 24.7% is going to regress HARD next year
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Kostitsyn didn’t exactly show up for their first round either. 5 assists all playoffs, 4 in the first series.
He’s cheap, but he’s probably not even a lateral move at this point. That, and the RFA status means he’s probably staying in Nashville.
Can anyone see Detroit giving Yandle a deal that’s super-front loaded? Maybe something like 12-8-4-3-1, 28M / 5 years, 5.6M per. No way Phoenix can match that, right?

Having watched a lot of Kostitsyn, my basic feeling was that he was great when surrounded by good players, but struggles when he’s the primary option.
Which means I think he’d fit better in Vancouver than he would in Nashville. But at the same time, I have almost no interest in acquiring him. He’s not better than either Sammie or Raymond, the two guys I am hoping we upgrade on one of.

Wouldn’t mind trying to pry Dubinsky or Callahan out of NY. Both RFAs.

Put those 2 with Higgins I guess, and they’ll go gangbusters on the opposing 2nd lines. I’d prefer Burr, but I can’t see fitting both Callahan AND someone else into our team without doing anything substantial to the rest of the core.

Considering his AHL season
He probably should be considered an asset. You can make a good argument he is more valuable than CoHo or Schroeder right now.

he’ll be an option to replace Raymond after training camp.

CAP SPACE (23-man roster): $4,167
ASSUMPTIONS:
1. Trade with Nashville for Shea Weber’s rights – give up Cody Hodgson + Keith Ballard + Kevin Connauton + 1st round pick (steep, but worth the price);
2. Keep Higgins, Torres, Hansen, Oreskovich, Lapierre, Bieksa and Salo.
3. Let Ehrhoff go. We won the war Hans, now fuck off back where you belong.
POTENTIAL CHANGES:
1. Dump Rome in the AHL (wherever our affiliate may be) and call up someone cheaper, perhaps Sauve;
2. Create cap space for further moves by shifting FU Sweden to Florida (for, say, a 3rd rounder + a prospect);
3. Let Higgins walk (I’d like him to stay), and pursue someone like Joel Ward for the same cap hit;
4. Do the unthinkable and trade Luongo for picks/prospects/just to see how the Vancouver media would cope without him. I’d like to see Lu stay – he’s a franchise goalie – but if GMMG moves him, I’d back Ginger Jesus 100%.
THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS ROSTER:
1. Forward are interchangeable – Top 2 lines, Middle 2 lines, Bottom 2 lines. AV would love it.

Send Ballard, Higgins, and picks to St. Louis for Oshie. The Blues need veteran help on the blue line after losing Brewer and aren’t going to be a cap team, but they need help. They’re also on the fence as to what he’s worth and whether they want to keep him (I like Matt D’Agostini as a third-liner in Vancouver, too, by the way). Character issues: you have to think Oshie’d respond well to playing with Kesler.
If Ehrhoff wants more than 3.5, I think we should let him walk. Edler’s continuing upside and Tanev’s very solid play gives us this luxury. I still don’t know how CoHo fits with this team, but he needs to play. Teaming with Schroeder in the AHL another year is almost sensible, but I don’t see it happening.
I’d also like to explore signing Mathieu Schneider…
You didn’t give Bieksa a raise at all?

Yep. Really don’t know what happened in the playoffs. Everything they talked about during the regular season just went away. Pretty disappointing
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Just a thought...
How hard would it really be to pull a top 3 pick out of this draft for say, Landeskog. (ex. 29th overall, 2012 1st round, and Ballard?; or say 29th overall, Cody Hodgson, and blank player.)
The thought of Landeskog and Kesler manning the second line for the foreseeable future gives me a stiffy.
If we trade
with a division rival to move up to second overall in the draft it wouldn’t make much sense to not draft one of the top two players in the draft. Whichever of Larsson or RNH was there would be the guy to draft.

Yeah, it cost us Cory Schneider and Cody Hodgson, but I dare you to try stopping that first line! The only other new arrival is returning the popular veteran Curtis Sanford to back up Luongo until Lack is ready in a couple years; with Sami taking a big cut for time off the defensive pairings are as solid as any in the league; and there is a bottom six/seven forwards that can literally play any kind of game you want to bring on the ice.

Just blew my mind. I’m still trying to figure out how you fit in Nash after giving Bieksa his raise and kept Ballards 4.2, MIND FREAK!!!

Ah, the glory of entry-level contracts…
Truth be told, I don’t think Salo will go that low – more likely 2 million – but with Sanford being injured last year and in the AHL, I think he’ll be happy to be back in the bigs on a winning team. It’ll be interesting to see if the cap goes up as much as people think,
Big Nash fan. I look forward to international play partially to watch him play: the guy’s a frikkin’ beast out there, and with his hands I could see a long string of 40-45 goal seasons with the Sedins… Or with Kesler, if he doesn’t work out with the twins (not everyone does).
Flying that Nerd Flag high!
Rick Nash
would equal a Stanley Cup, but Coiumbus would NEVER trade him.
Ryan Kesler for MVP
"Don't tread on me"
Yeah the BJs need a strong rebound season, they’re getting near Thrasher level (remember them?) in their futility. Losing Nash would be a terrible decision.

I’ve gotta be honest: I think they really should trade Nash. I think he’s not a $7.8m player, and would get them a huge return. It might be a tough sell to the fans, but from a hockey ops standpoint…
by Passive Voice on Jun 23, 2011 10:43 AM PDT up reply actions
I think he is that player
playing with better line mates.
But he is also a left winger. So he doesn’t really fit as well with the Sedins as he would with Kesler.
Also I really don’t get why people are so quick to move Burrows off that top line. It’s been the top line in hockey, arguably, for two seasons. And the Sedins credit Burrows for helping them go from point a game guys to 100 point MVP type guys. I honestly don’t understand why everyone wants to move him off that line. And why everyone seems to think anyone can slot in that role and they will be the same players. They weren’t that good with anyone from Klatt to Carter. They are as good as they are now in part because of Burrows.

Well, I think that speaks more of how ungood those linemates were. And I know Burrows has helped them become even better, but that line just vanished against both Nashville and Boston and I don’t think that’s just coincidental.
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
It isn't
those two teams have Weber and Chara.
But that’s why you get a winger for Kesler so they have to focus on one of those lines. The other one will kill you. Kesler dragged Raymond and Higgins around most of the playoffs.

I’m all for that.
Because the Sedins get shut down very easily against those tight checking teams. And it’s not that those teams always shut people down – Anaheim lit up Nashville and Tampa lit up Boston.
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Tampa got scoring from all over
including their 4th liners. And when it mattered in game 7 Tampa never looked like scoring against Chara.

just be glad
that we have a GM who looks at things from the standpoint of winning, and screw the fans opinions. Every team should be so lucky, and I’m being dead serious here. How many times has GMMG made a move or not made a move and we all went ‘eh???’ (think manny’s contract or bringing in raffi) In the end having the balls to do these things has not only worked out, they’ve made us all go ‘Ohhhhhhh i see what you did there!’ I believe that Vancouver right now has an opportunity to be the next detroit if Gillis is allowed to continue his strategy and we can get some good drafting/development. The uncertainty of our farm team right now could throw a bit of a wrench into it, mind u.

I traded Schneider and Schroeder for Ladd’s RFA rights. Schneids and Pavelec run a tandem system.
I traded Hodgson, Sauve, Connauton, our first rounder and our second rounder of next year to the Pens for James Neal. Basically pillaged the farm. Signed Wiz to the same contract as Juice (5 years, 4.5 mill each)

I start by trading Ballard to anyone who'll take him
Raymond starts the season on the DL and Hodgson sadly gets another year in the minors barring an injury to Kesler or Sedin. Tanev is the eighth defenceman, he’s safe in the minors along with Lee Sweatt. Salo takes a significant pay cut, barring his retirement. H/T to Keiran gunn for spotting Erik Cole on the FA list.
