For me that's a fairly strong indication that a forward is being traded.

Looking at last year's lines and projecting slightly for this year:

Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata
Burrows-Bonino-Higgins
Dorsett-Horvat-Hansen
Vey-Richardson?-Kenins

Baertschi
Kassian
Gaunce?
Grenier?
Virtanen?

I'd like to see something like (not ideally but realistically):

Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata
Baertschi-Horvat-Hansen
Dorsett-Bonino-Kassian
Vey-Gaunce/Richardson-Kenins

Higgins - traded
Burrows- traded (unlikely)
Virtanen - cup of coffee
Grenier - cup of coffee

If they plan on putting Gaunce back at centre, I think he needs more time with Utica. Don't like Hansen in the top 6 but that line looks interesting, not sure Hansen has the hands..

ahhh, you have Hansen there if Burrows gets traded. Burr with Horvat and Sven would be interesting too.

I'm thinking that Vrbata and Kassian get moved…

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Baertschi-Horvat-Hansen
Dorsett-Bonino-Higgins
Virtanen-Richardson-Kenins

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows

May get a first and second.

Wouldn't move Kassian for anything less than a high second... no rush to move him.

Kenins heaping praise on Utica coach Travis Green, says Green taught him how to be a pro. #Canucks

I'm thinking that Vrbata and Kassian get moved…

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Baertschi-Horvat-Hansen
Dorsett-Bonino-Higgins
Virtanen-Richardson-Kenins
- Jim_Robson

I can definitely live with that given where our team is at the moment and the return could restock our picks for this draft.

In a perfect world.
- VanHockeyGuy

I don't think there's any reaching involved in trading Higgins. As long s the will is there from Canuck management. Burrows, yes I agree.

Id prefer to just move vrbata as kassian wouldn't fetch much at all. Would be selling real low. Why not play him with the sedins for a year and sell higher hopefully.

Anyone know what the status of his injury is?

Someone on hf posted some vids within the last little while from his training coach. He appears to be in better shape. Looks REAL lean. no homes.

My crystal ball says:

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Baertschi-Bonino-Hansen
Higgins-Horvat-Kassian
Kenins-Richardson-Dorsett

I can see Willie switching up Bonino & Horvat.
Vrbata - Tradebait (was useless in playoffs)
Burrows- retires a Canuck
Higgins - trade if offer is 3rd or better
Gaunce - AHL - Injury call-up
Grenier - AHL - Injury call-up
Virtanen - 9 games then back to juniors.

By this, do you mean that he still looks homeless? Orrr...

And honestly, it seems like this was the case last year. We saw the dealift videos, etc etc and all the talk on how much better shape he was. Take whatever stock in that you will.
