Eklund: Breaking from Source "Canucks Mulling Major Deal ToGet Into Top 4 at Draft"

Starting the rebuild early I see!

I wouldn't trust a source that thinks that "supposably" is a word

Hopefully we can be the next Oilers. I can only hope.

The Sedin Twins for Colorado's 1st and Duchene!

Guarantee you this will somehow turn into what is Luongo's value thread.

History indicates its most likely Florida..

FLA = Luongo, Kesler and the 23rd overall pick

For

VAN = 2nd overall pick (MacKinnon)

If it's the Canucks trading up for a top 4 pick then I'm guessing Kesler has a high chance of being involved, or potentially Schneider but that would be shocking. I'm not sure if Edler + first would be enough as the main parts of a package.

Sarcasm. (frank) missing the playoffs, I'm definitely no bandwagon fan, but cheering for a team that doesn't expect to make the playoffs would be (frank)ing depressing. I'm not old enough to remember when the Canucks were a bottom feeder in the standings, but I guess every team has to go through it eventually.


The only excitement for rebuilding team's fans is draft day, and that's only 1 (frank)ing day.

Oh God, the first Domino!

Ive been looking forward to the draft for the passed 4 years now LOL sad

What the hell does Vancouver actually have that they would part with in order to get a top 4 pick? Can't see it...

Trying to get into the top 4 means NSH at 4, otherwise they would ahve said trying to get top 3 or top two or the first overall.

Secondly, this is where they try to offer Kesler who is exactly a NSH type player and anyone who follows VAN with even a passing glance has noticed all the talk of Kesler's time in Van coming to an end possibly.

It will take Edler as well I'd wager.

Van fans will think it will be for Luongo straight up as per hockeybuzz logic.

the Russian source?

Kesler and Edler for the 4 is an overpayment. If that makes me a homer then I guess I am one, but that's ridiculous to me.

Can't be. Gillis hates Russians!

Raymond, Ballard and a 2nd for the 1st over all pick.

Are you saying Lou isn't worth a top 5 pick in the draft...?

maybe the penguins should get #3... Drouin would look good next to Crosby.

He's worth 2 of them at least. When will they understand!
