Great article. I raged when I saw willie "deploy" the same pp unit that has been very unsuccessful the last few months. The fact that he still hasn't rewarded Hansen with pp time is weird. Maybe he's no good at 5 on 4 in practice? But Burrows/Vrbata of all people on that power play still is a little lame to see, vets getting gifted ice time.

I would hope Willie goes with this once Hank is back

Trade Vrbata/Burrows/Prust/the 1st rounder this year in a package for a real D man for the top 4.... so that Sbisa/ Hutton can play less minutes. I know trading the First Rounder is bad blah blah blah but this team is fairly competitive and it's probably going to end up a 15-20 pick imo and those assets NEED to go to a substantial young defenceman and that's more important than getting lucky in the draft after 5 years of development (we have kids ready now) rebuild on the fly JB, trade the first and other good assets for a young established d man that can grow with the team. McCann/Horvat/Baertschi/Vey/Etem/Virtanen/Shiunkaruk are our future Offense as well as Demko/ Markstrom, lets solidify the d corps now while we are competitive with the sedins/ sutter/hansen. No point in using our first pick, am I crazy? I hope JB pursues Vatanen/Hamonic HARD

Wow buddy this belongs on the leafs thread. Vrbata is on the decline, Burrows is only good for PK, Prust is sourpuss combined cat hit of 9mil with Burrows signed on for another year would not get us a top 4 D. Even if you add in the 1st. There are no more Gillis type GMs in the league.

In the offseason I hope the Canucks can draft high to pick up a winger for the twins like Puljujarvi or Laine

RIP Ryper. Thanks for the memories.

#BellLetsTalk Is such a good day to spread awareness. Lots of mental insitability in my family through the years.

Even Ricky Gervais and Ellen are talking about it.

Love it.

I am someone who suffers from it. It keeps me off work in a semi retired mode . Like Barry McacDonald.

It also gives fire to Chomseys Bi Polar comments to me regularly

A super important issue and it affects all of us one way or another. I have several close friends who have suffered in the past. Glad to see so many people talking about it and chipping away at the stigma that goes along with it.

You think that was funny? Wait till you realize that I made a mistake and the combined cap hit of Vrabata+ Burrows+ Prust is 11Mil and not 9Mil.

if we had a healthy lineup could we see something like this with Vey and McCann playing some left wing and maybe 4lc too?

Daniel Hank Hansen
Baertschi Horvat Burrows
McCann/Vey Sutter Etem
Dorsett Cracknell Virtanen

If Hank is still having trouble taking draws after the all star break, I think we will see Sutter on the top line.

(I am not expecting Burrows will be moved at tdl with another season remaining on his contract)

If Burrows is bough out then it's 9.5

It's not as uncommon as you'd think seeing crazy trade proposals in this thread. I've been reading Vrbata for a 1st for a while now.

Remember when we missed Sutter and were all aware that Bo was not ready for 2nd line duty?

I'd switch it up a bit.

As long as WD keeps Bo and Sven together, and maybe Etem and Vey...

Even though some of the media have complained a bit, I liked the idea of the team trying to stick to McCann's program and sitting him and JV when they are scheduled to sit.

When Hamhuis returns, I think we will see another trade or waivers for a player.

Please be a trade, please be a trade, please be a trade.

I'm glad Clendening has found another hotel room to call home.

lol

still a lot of games bro, if you think JB is purposefully tanking you have never seen a Buffalo game.
- Crazybagoham

lol Don't worry we all witnessed one of the greatest three team tanks in NHL history last year with BUF TOR and ARZ a ll going for McJesus and he ends up inEDM anyway...

I think Benning has an eye on a top 6 pick and knows what he's doing...

ha!!!!

No joking today though.....it really shouldnt be a topic for one day a year. The world would be a better place if we could address this as early and as often as possible........otherwise the Donald Trumps of the world will continue to make hay.....
