Number 1 covers 2, 4 and 12. 7 & and 8 are pretty well the same thing.

Do you know the stats? Both were 43% in their last game.

Hodgson plays the point on Buffalo's PP sometime too.

Their shootout stats are close -- given Hodgson has only taken 8. He's 1 away from 50%, as is Burrows.

Certainly, for the Canucks, Burrows is the better choice. Not necessarily for every other team though.

To close, Burrows is one of my favourite players in all the NHL -- not just the Canucks -- and has been for many years. Personally, I don't get the Hodgson-diminishing that goes on here. The trade will be a win/win if Kassian keeps developing positively -- with the edge to Buffalo because of Sulzer.

Hodgson is a great player I have know problem with him at all nor have I ever bashed him but I would still take Burrows every time.

Brower and Ward
- thundachunk



Exactly. In the playoffs you need lines 2-4 to step up, chip in offensivly and wear guys down. Brower and Ward would be be perfect for that and provide lots of depth

Luongo for Reilly, Kadri, Lupul, Reimer & two 1st's.

or


Luongo for Nail, RNH, Shultz, Dubnyk & two 1st's.

- Marwood



Why would the Leafs do that? Reimer and his contract >>> Luongo and his.

I would say that of all the guys you mentioned they are not the Canuck trolls. I could name a few of our own that are that are offensive and irritating but thats not my style. Our regs are pretty good and only attack when the dill holes come to play in our tread.

Talk about people going on other boards being idiots (maybe you should look in the mirror) I see you on the oilers threads trolling all the time.

You can call me trolling living here in BC and being a flyer fan but actually I just want to know what is going on around the league. That is not trolling. This particular blog is really humorous and lot of wetarded comments her, so why not join in and be dumb.

So they can win the cup with Kessel before he signs as a free agent else where.

Of course they will want more its OV........ There is not a single guy on the Nucks near OV's talent so yes you better send like 5 or 6 players and some picks. Lou is a good start but Burrows and Ballard are like throwing in a 6th and 7th round pick in this kind of trade.

Not getting into this OV trade thing too much, or speculating on what his value is—as originally this all started as a joke—but you are severely underrating Burrows if you equate him to 6th of 7th round pick "in [any] kind of trade."

The guy is a fantastic hockey player. Even through all of the fan bias that comes with a rivalry like the Canucks and Hawks have, you should be able to see this. (frank)ing laughable—6th or 7th rounder....

Ovie won't get traded unless he asks to be, and even then I doubt it would happen until this summer. I was with some buddies today and one of them brought up an interesting idea:

That MG and Gilman were both at the game themsevles instead of just sending scouts while watching the game on TV in Vancouver themselves just to increase speculation about a goalie trade and perhaps get a team that is interested in Luongo to make an offer or a better offer.


Just wild speculation, but it's interesting.


And the Superbowl was great!

It's not the 48 game season Canucks fans should be worried about.

Keeping both is not an option.

Hey, at least we got to a final, how long has it been since Toronto can say that. Hell, Toronto hasn't been relevant since 1994, heck even Edmonton, Calgary and Ottawa on some pretty mediocre teams have made the final and got to the 7th game like we have.

Toronto hasn't played in the finals since there has been 4 rounds in the playoffs to win it all. They have never won more than 3 rounds in a single run.
