I don't see you getting kadri + for bieska. Kadri may be inconsistent but he's very young. I'd expect the Canucks to have to give up a pick with Bieska.

There is nothing else on TO that I would consider.

Lower mainland has a very large Iranian demographic(mainly on the North Shore) actually and I believe that to be his decent.

Hindus and Sikhs dont attack Muslims really. In Pakistan, the Islamo Facist terrorists attack the Hindus and Sikhs but thats a whole different animal.

Kadri is of Lebanese descent and a Sunni, Iranians are Shiites.

I thought he was East Indian . There is a huge Irani population in the north shore

schroeder reminds me of jeff tambilini. should have had enough talent to make an impact, always seemed to be on the outside and not willing to pay the price, and eventually he ran out of opportunities.
- Isles_since_6

You may be right.

It really pissed me off about a month ago when he was given an opportunity, nobody was scoring and he just passed the puck away in the offensive zone, like it was a hot potato, as the rest of the team was doing.

That was in contrast to when Jensen was brought up, he looked so dynamic and hungry to score compared to the rest of the team.

I just wish he would watch MSL video and emulate his game, is that too much to ask?

Very good comparison

Canucks should be looking at Kesler to Ducks for their 6 th overall plus Bonino or Etem.

Or

Chi for Terevainen and 1 st

Canucks 2x firsts and Hansen for E.Kane.

Trade Bieksa for Kadri

Kane Kadri Kassian
Sedin Sedin Jensen
Booth Etem Burrows
Sestito Richardson Mathias

Kadri is of Lebanese descent and a Sunni, Iranians are Shiites.

Shia may be more appropriate. I think we (westerners) call them Shiites or it's part of grammar for plural, but they call themselves Shia. If my experience serves me correctly.

I asked a new immigrant if he was Shiite and the reply was a giggle and no, I'm Shia.

(auto correct doesn't like two I's in a row)

Edit: sorry if I come across like a prock, just was confused at the time I was corrected, funny/strange convo.

You are correct sir, and they are Persians not Arabs. I have always found Iranians to be much more friendly and open.

AV had the best Canucks roster ever. He's a system coach who can't hit the curve.
- DrChristianTroy

Trouble with the curve? Maybe that is why we have Quinn (Gus) coming onboard for some old school scouting.

He still spends a lot of time at the rink

Head Scout? Bye bye Delorme?

Don't play backgammon with them...

They seem to be a bit more western in their attitudes, or maybe it is the ones I have met. all good.

Seems Flames fans are stoked to have newly signed Gaudreau and Arnold in the line up against you guys Sunday. Give em a good beating in their debut
- Iggysbff

The last time we tried the violence approach, out team went into a tail spin and went out of playoffs. This time we will hug it out. Maybe even let your kids have hatties each. We don't want to crush their young careers with a beating.

And very well educated, I knew an Iranian family in Vic. 4 kids (3 boys & a girl) all of them were Engineers.

Canucks don't do Hat Tricks

Have we even had one this year?

With Bennington coming in as GM and the Frienship with Trevor and Seabass will we see

Bieksa Kassian and Kesler for LUcic Hamilton and a first

Have we had one this year?

Considering the amount of games we have scored three goals put your money on NO

That would be affirmative. My friend Google tells me that we have had 5 scored against us. FML

not surprising

I stand corrected.

I've met many Lebanese who looked no different than Mediterranean Europeans...

Meh, either way this fanbase will only respond positively to one thing, a proper retool/rebuild or whatever you want to call it. Not some "fan favourite" to market for jersey sales.

PassittoBullis just commenting on whether Bieksa should go to the Worlds?

My advice for any Canuck is to relax in this offseason. Too many injuries

Revitalized process.
Rejuvenated retooling.
Reconsidered rebuild.
Refreshed reset.

How is there no (frank)ing hockey in this market on TV tonight. Most teams only have 2 games left battling for playoff positions. This is why the NHL is so (frank)ing bush league.

What did you think of Markstrom last night after watching him live??

I thought he had one softie but otherwise played pretty well (funny how much the crowd was behind him, though - he could have snagged a wrist shot from the Av's end and the crowd would have cheered/applauded)
