sometimes I laugh at how brutally though out responses are. Seems any time I take a shot at someone's impossible trade proposals, they go straight for "well EDM sucks. They're gonna finish last again this year haw haw"

can't count how many times that's happened on two hands

Honestly, can you say you knew anything about Jensen before the nucks drafted him?
Not trying to be a douche, I think he will be a good player, but I hadn't heard anything about him until the draft.

Yeah, I did. And anybody that followed Canadian major jr. hockey did, as well. And anybody who currently follows hockey outside of the NHL would also know who he is.

Fair enough. He didn't put up numbers to stand out from the pack. A ppg player kind of blends in unless you watch a lot of junior. Still, seems like a solid prospect.

He had an unspectacular final year with Oshawa, but 3 of their 4 other top offensive players had off years, as well. Had a good year with AIK in Sweden.

My point was that he wasn't exactly an unknown prospect.

My two cents....

I wouldn't trade Jensen at all. His numbers in Chicago this season are not stellar, like you indicated, but he is not getting top line or top power play time either. I think Jensen has some great upside in terms of talent. He's not a #1 line guy in the NHL, but he is a solid 2nd liner. I would love to see Jensen with Hansen and Schroeder. Jensen and Hansen can do some "Danish hockey magic" on the ice, and Schroeder can add the faceoff skill and tertiary scoring ability.

If you asked me last year, I would have traded Raymond, but he is playing well this year. I think Higgins is on the way out. He has been a good player for the Canucks in previous seasons, but I think his play is lacking this season (maybe because his linemate Malhotra is out). Sweatt should be traded. He has had a couple of callups and has failed to deliver.

To Be Traded:
1) Higgins (explained above)
2) Sweatt (explained above)
3) Ballard (expensive 6th defensemen, fast, hip checks, lack of offense)
4) Booth (expensive and low offense, injured frequently)
5) Luongo (Don't get me wrong, if there was a way to keep both Lou and Schneider, I'm all for it. Lou needs to go where he is the #1 and can mentor young goalies. But it is imperative that we have a good back up for Schneider.)
6) Archibald (decent offense, ready to make jump to NHL)
7) Joslin (good d-man, low offense)

Potential Canucks:
1) Mike Ribeiro (rental)
2) Pascal Dupius (re-sign)
3) Tyler Bozak (re-sign)
4) Brad Boyes (re-sign)
5) Mathieu Garon (re-sign 1 year if he gels with Schneider)
6) Andrej Sustr (trade)
7) David Moss (trade)

Potential Trades:

1)
To Toronto:
Luongo + Sweatt + 5th Round Pick
To Vancouver:
Bozak + 1st Round Pick

2)
To Tampa Bay:
Higgins + Joslin + 6th Round Pick
To Vancouver:
Garon + Sustr

3)
To NY Islanders:
Ballard + Archibald
To Vancouver:
Boyes + 4th Round Pick

4)
To Phoenix:
Booth + 3rd Round Pick
To Vancouver:
Moss

once again evidence that the weed crop was excellent last year out west!

a 1st and Bozak for Luongo... you must have gone the Mike Gillis school of delusional management.

Komisarek, Connolly, Gunnarson, Liles and MacArthur -> YVR
Luongo, Edler and 1st -> YYZ
this would actually go a long way to fixing YVRs CAP issues, and in the short term give you 2/3rd line center, a decent hard working winger ....

and Canuck fans should be worried... because its only a deal like this one that can save Gillis butt.

- bloatedmosquito


no one hates the crest... they just disrespect the fan base who sheepishly stand behind the bone-headed CAP mangling GM.

Leaf fans ripped Burke (with very few exceptions) and continue to do so for the Kessel deal. Leaf fans ripped Burke for the Komisarek signing.

many fans ripped Gillis when he went on his waffle tour starting last spring about Luongo being the best #1 or #2 or whatever goalie he is /was.. and how often he spewed absolutely bs about the situation. MANY Canuckleheads defended Gillis... and they continue today saying "the contract isn't that bad"....

its not the crest.. its the noise.

So even though our player pool is better than TO's and for the first time in a decade we are tied in the standings ,Canucks should give up top end players and a first rounder for TO's cast offs .

Dude it sounds like the weed back East is quite strong too .

Among teams that I believe have at least talked to SJ are Flyers, Wild, Canucks, Habs, Rangers, Bruins... and believe there are more
