Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Game Day: Feb. 16 vs. Minnesota Wild, Alex Biega Recalled After two straight defeats earlier this month, the Vancouver Canucks will look to gain some points from the surging Minnesota Wild in their final meeting of the season on Monday night at Rogers Arena.

oh yeah - we better win

Very thin on D.

Always injuries on D with this club it seems.

Guess I don't gotta be the one to bring up the provies today

Sbisa and Weber

Mackenzie says car is seeking 1st and prospect for Sekjera.

Sbisa and Weber
- Bieksa#3

That pairing plays better than a sbisa bieksa... The two of them together are complimentary to each other so it's not as bad as might be expected Ic they are paired with other players

We have been spoiled in years past with great d men - ohlund, jovo, lumme, who could move the puck and score. We lack that now. When BXA and Edler are your difference makers on the back end you play .500 hockey.

Question - who would be the best dman we could land right now:
- if we traded Jake V. in a package?
- if we traded Kassian in a package?

We need that deadly force on the back end. If we can't get the deadly force, why not Brian Campbell so at least we can be dangerous from the back and get the PP going?

Ericsson getting lit up like a Xmas tree. 5 goals on 16 shots midway through the game. Comets down 5-3. Grenier and Archy with a couple points each

what about Pedan?

I see Jensen STILL isn't scoring.

Expected a lot more from a guy who is in his 3rd year in the AHL.

**Looks at MIN's record in their past 10 games; looks at our D-pairings**

I'd move Virtanen for

OEL
Ekblad
Lindholm
Vatanan
Jones
Hamilton

Heard it mentioned before that some guys actually score more in the NHL than the AHL because they are surrounded by better players in the bigs and it is a more structured game.

It is a little disappointing. But still wonder if he would be better suited on the 2nd line than Higgins?

I'd move Virtanen for

OEL
Ekblad
Lindholm
Vatanan
Jones
Hamilton

You wouldn't get those players for JV, you would need to add a first rounder and a good roster player also .

Slow and patient.

No need to trade JV.

I don't disagree. He's asking if I'd move Virtanen. Them are the d I'd want back. Add Trouba as well

Fixed.

Not Hamilton. Which Jones?
