Am I the only one not high today?

says the guy that wants Vrbata in the lineup!

if we traded for Kane (Sbisa, Gaunce, 2nd)

Sedin/Sedin/Loui
Kane/Sutter/Hansen
Sven/Bo/Rodin
Dorsett/Granlund/Etem
Burrows

That is a solid lineup imo. speed, scoring, some grit. JV could slide in somewhere, lots of movable pieces.

Burrows still has some left in the tank don't count him out. I think he has a better chance than Etem.

yeah, someone's gotta sitout though.

I like Burrows in the middle 6, but think he's less effective on the 4th line.

It doesn't hurt to have a veteran sniper who I guess would like to stay in the city a little longer.

i agree, but i thought we were talking about Vrbata ?

I think he would be more effective with less minutes. Plus he would Quarterback the PK.

His best may be behind him but I think he should still be an effective 25 goal scorer.

i dont see it. not on this team.
i'd take Hudler before Vrbata (at least Hudler accepted a trade to Florida at the tdl)

His wife was having a kid. I am sure if he didn't have things on the go he would have.

I'm still high from yesterday.

yes, he doesnt want to be here anyways....nor does the team want him.

But as a GM you'd have to be a supreme a--hole to trade a guy whose wife is pregnant and expecting any day

Wow that must be some good $hit.

I'm going off the rails tonight. Cannabis oil to the rescue!

I am not saying I necessarily want him but he would be okay if he fit the room. Does he? I don't know.

I am all for moving on but he scores. I hope he gets back to that.

$5 million/year would make up for it.
So he's out of town a bit more for a couple months (from TDL to end of season).
Hire a nanny, cook, cleaner, fly in family and friends for the wife...problem solved.

I always got a sense that him and the Sedin's didn't see eye to eye and that he didn't really get along with the majority of the team.
Just a feeling, remember hearing an interview with Daniel who seemed to be throwing some shade his way and just body language stuff, he's a bit wooden.

i don't like him!

remember he had an issue w the sedins and they didnt want him on their line. Since he was asked by them, WD was reluctant to play him with them again.

Too bad, it looked promising early his 1st season.

do you have children?
You never want to miss the birth of your children. Nothing ever replaces that.

Burrows is a classic 4th liner now & can move up as needed if playing well.
Idc about his contract tbh but he has good use for us still.
Etem can look at him to beat him out or its sayonara.

I am usually the one to say exactly this but imo veterans deserve a little more respect when it comes to that kind of thing.

Example; FA gave up his flight to get Burrows home for the birth of his daughter. That to me is respectful. The birth of one child is very important. The career of a hockey player is very short but some things supersede that.

yes.
i'm not saying miss the birth (players often miss games to be there for that) and being on the Canucks does not guarantee that you'll be in town....

oh totally. i'm not saying call him into practice and bagskate em when his wife is due, just saying that accepting a trade and moving to another city after the kid is born is not some crazy expectation.

Where is the real trailer that was supposed to be out?

This. Things went bad during my wife's 2nd birth. If I wasn't there I feel I may have lost them both. The birth of a child is not something to be treated as not a big deal.
