Well he was right about one thing --- nobody is going to steal Roberto from you.

My two cents...

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

What the (frank) are you smoking ?
Sweat and the 5th aren't worth poop
I wouldn't give you Bozak for Bobby Lu straight up let alone a 1st too

Grabovsky for Bobby Lu straight up .... Take it or leave it

Here's an idea everyone could stop talking about Hodgson and wait and see how it turns out its been one year.... look back in five and then maybe judge it then such a ADD society everyone looks somewhere else if they don't see results immediately and everyone seems to forget that he wanted out ... seems like he just has a better PR team then most other players who think they should have the moon given to them and the reason he is getting the time in buffalo is mostly due to the fact that they don't really have anyone in front of him on the depth chart and he wouldn't be effective in a third line role here anyway which when healthy is where he would slot in...

I'm thinking

1) ballard + 6th rd--->Nielsen and Boyes

2)Raymond + 5th rd------> Sustr, Conacher, 1st rd

3)Booth + 3rd------> Huberdeau + 2nd

4)Luongo + 2nd -----> Reimer, Bozak, kadri, 1st, Rielly

I mean I guess he is only outscoring VAN's NHL roster, maybe they should call up an ECHLer to help

We aren't going to take your poopty contract off your hands.

Grabo is crap...maybe as a rental, but not at his price tag.

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

I think those deals are great... except the Booth deal... I would make that in the off season if ever.

I would also hold off on higgins right now.. but I do agree his play has dipped. I agree with all your potential pick ups.. I would probably throw Roy in there. And possibly Robidas.

But the deals are realistic and benefit both sides.. great job!

On a more serious note, Zeppelin still rocks. I might be old but no band today comes close to their perfection.

he probably would too. If someone's playing on a better team, they'll produce more. See: nash. So we can all agree Seguin can't produce as much as Hall on a top 5 team. Hall>
