Same concerns everyone had about Lapierre, and he's been a great addition. I'd like to see a breakdown of how often a guy like Ott takes the only penalty in a situation... I'm betting he has more coincidentals & misconducts padding his PIM stats than bad 2 min minors.

Ott would be a good pickup, but I still think the Canucks biggest need is on D. We saw what happened last year when Hamhuis went down. The Canucks were a completely different team. A top 4 dman would be the biggest upgrade.

Bieksa Hamhuis
Edler (top 4 dman)
Salo Tanev
Rome
Alberts

No these are great, keep them up...

Curious as to how Brassard would be a good fit?? IMO Hodgson is a similar player with more upside...

Adding another center would be an odd move.

Ya, not sure another centre would be the best move for the Canucks, they already have more than enough of them.

Kind of curious about CBJ these days, as it pertains to centres. Already unloaded Vermette and Carter, you'd think they would need to hang on to every C they can get!

At least one blogger figures Ott should have gotten at least one vote for the Selke last year... http://www.nhl.com/index....in_defensive_zone_starts/

Heh, trading Kesler = instant riot in Van, even if it is for Perry!

Was I right last week did AV demote Kes to 3 rd line or promote Higgins Hanse to 2 nd?

saw you guys may be in on the Ott sweeps

If the Sabres dont get him, doubt our gm has the stones to go after him, he would be a perfect player for your team in the post season

Heh, kind of a glass half-full or empty sort of decision. I say Kes got dropped to 3rd line for being ineffective.

Yeah we think so. I'd be surprised if Dallas gave him up though since they're still in the playoff picture.

Watching the STL-WPG game, I really wish we had David Backes.
