Trade for Ryan Ellis in the offseason, when Nashville realizes they need some more help up front??

Too small. Same with Dumba. I would offer sheet Ristolainen, Stone, Trouba, Rielly, Jones. Gudas would be a good pairing with Hutton.

Seriously, I think you need to step back and be more objective. It is not an "sickening , disgusting comment to make in a Canucks forum, it is akin to trolling" comment.

As has been pointed out earlier, if you truly wish to have a discussion with canuck fans try to be more engaging, rather than being rantish because you disagree that some would like a top 10 pick. At this particular moment in canucks history "they suck". They will be extremely fortunate to make the PO, (I'm being overly generous here) and are more than likely to pick in the top ten.

I follow every blog, and infrequently respond, but attacks like yours will only bring retaliatory replies where I will have to step in, hope you understand what I'm trying to advise.

Small, but not a surf. I think if paired with a larger, shutdown D, he could be serviceable. Again, he won't be a 1D, but a decent top4 with a chance to improve.

1D's are too costly imo to get via trade.
At the same time, i think offer-sheets for 1Ds are too costly.
I like the guys you mentioned too, but am not into offer-sheets at this stage in the rebuild.

I think our best bet would be to uncover a top4 D with potential that is stuck behind better players and look to draft a stud.

I'd rather go after Trouba or Dumba, Minny and the Jets are close to cap hell, they'd have to dump a LOT of salary to be able to match any offer sheet.

Vantel has been a Richard to me so no biggie , Richards are Richards!!
- onesmallleap

No he is usually pretty decent to pretty much everyone, so from my history here I cant agree with you on that.

I wont weigh in again on it. Just take Makita's advice here. I think its good. He usually knows what people need to hear

I know Vantel has a Richard... or at least he did until he got married, now his wife owns it and won't give it back.

We'll be watching. I smoke too much weed to go 'full Torts'. Should be fun watching Hansen get a hat trick as he does a big smile fly-by to Torts.
