Pretty much yeah. I could see Hodgsen making it through waivers.

With proper development I think Yak is going to be great.

Agree

I totally agree. He isn't getting what he needs in Edmonton that is for sure. Eakins never used him properly nor does Todd Nelson. Sad state in Edmonton.

And we complain about our development system...

As per Botch McMillian with Dorsett and Matthias. Kassian odd man out

If they trade him we better get good return or im going to slap a bytch

A few other top 6 forwards that may be a cheap acquisition are Yaakipov Sharp , Lupul Gaborik, Hodgson

Neither Yak or Sharp are going to be cheap but they might very well be available. Chicago will be in a bind with the cap this off season but no way they will sell off Sharp at a discount before the summer when they are still considered one of the favorites for the cup.

As polarizing as Yak is in Edm, I think he still has quite a bit of value, maybe not as much value as Kane had ( 1st and 2 good prospects) but still wouldn't be a cheap pick up IMO.

Our development system was pretty much the direct opposite of Edmonton's...both have not had good results of late

Gillis: Retain aging vets that signed good contracts before with sweetheart deals when they are older and less effective. No room for youngsters

MacT: Sign young guns with good 2-3 years to massive contracts and throw them out with more "potential" guys. No room for vets/role players

Of course Vey gets let off easy....I know he plays C but it pisses me off how Vey get preferential treatment.

The kid has to play to learn. He is in a different scenario.i think he has don't ok for a rookie and improves unlike Kass who keeps regressing

I think he has done ok as well, I just think that he had as many if not more mistakes in the Min game as Kass did. Kass also had put in a pretty nice run of games but is automatically the first guy out (possibly) after a poor game.

I was wondering if we should have resigned Schroeder and kept the pick we used to get Vey?

Kassian play is Bipolar. Its always tuesday for him.

He did for sure but the gMes before he was great on the puck , setting up plays. I think ( pure speculTion only) Canucks think he will be part of the Fututre. Kassian could be gone by next week.

Hes doing pretty good for his first full nhl season.

Yeah I almost threw the remote at the tv when he did that no look back pass to Minnesota. He is a huge man drive the f@cking net!!

Vey has a greater offensive upside, but he has been given much better opportunities than Schroeder. I still like Vey's game, I just don't like that he has been spoon fed opportunities while other player have to earn them. I also still think that Garrison should of had more value than Vey on the market.

The Kid has been thrown in the deepend and responded with 9 goals and 12 assists in his Rookie year. I am thinking that is just fine

I like Sharp, but he turns 34 at the end of this year. Doubt he'll be useful by the time the Canucks are on the rise again.

Would be a waste of assets to acquire him IMO.

I was thinking stopgap until Virtanen was ready

I agree with your assessment that the team views Vey as a future piece and Kassian not, it just disappoints me that when Kassian seemingly took some steps forward he still isn't given any more leash.

Schroeder is too small and just doesn't have the dynamic talent to make up for it like MSL/Gaudreau.

The guy has 4 points ( he has only played 10 games), but weren't like 3 of his points against us? The guy is a bust.
