Don't need to blow it up, but our top 6 needs an infusion of goals/skill. It is likely a pipe dream, but if Horvat next season is ready to center the 2nd line and he has a winger that can score... and we load up on the top with Sedins and Kesler...

What am I thinking? If it was that easy and everything went as planned, we would be there by now.

I'm not sure that Horvat will even be ready to play in the NHL next season, let alone in a top 6 role. The thing he has going for him though is that he doesn't have to play top 6 to be effective.

Edler for?

yes exactly. ferraro described him as a boone jenner type. Said the learning for Bo in nhl will take a few seasons similar to what it took Kesler to make an impact.

Lol.
Horvat goes nowhere!
E.kane being the 1 possible exception
- Orca23

Other than age, I'd prefer Eriksson to E. Kane.

But I'm not a huge fan of Kane...

Still wouldn't include Horvat for either, though.

But any other prospect, sure...

Nyquist+Mantha+Smith

No way in hell do I take Eriksson over Kane. Especially on this team. Eriksson with the Twins would get smashed by the Blues/Kings in the playoffs. I bet the Bruins would make that deal in a second and the Jets would laugh hanging up if offered by the Bruins.

thats a lot

We'll throw in Booth and Alberts.


I'm not a huge Smith fan so I could live without him. But I do like Nyquist and Mantha for sure.

I wouldn't put him with the twins.

I'm just not a huge fan of E. Kane, as you know.

kane is a good side kick player
not a star who can take over games, hes fine on a #1 line though

Wonder what the Canucks will look like next year? Will they be able to acquire a top 6 skill/finisher as a free agent without trading a dman?

Will it be another year waiting for reinforcements?

thats a lot

The report I read right after xmas had the canucks asking for Nyquist, Smith, Tatar and 1st. Detroit unwilling to include pick

If you trade for Louie he'll end up with the twins.

I know you have to give up something to get something but yeah.

I just brought up Edler again cuz it was mentioned on insider trading or some other segment that any veteran beside the sedins could be available as van. looks to re-tool.

It's alive. Iiiitsssssss ALLLIIIIIIIIIVVEEE

Anyone hear MG's usual BS on the team this morning. So much lawyer talk it was awesome.

Blame everyone & everything else. Yada, yada, yada.
