meh,

With Buznevich (sp?) hurt and Mika Z breaking his leg they need another NHL proven forward. I figure if he was passed by all of the teams who finished below NYR last year, it might have been for a reason though?

Ya I wasnt to sure about him i dont know enough. Like you said injury replacement type pick up. Will probably be dropped once the rangers are healthy.

So....Little Willie needs to return home from this road trip over .500 or...

Waiver pick ups are for teams with holes trying to win now not teams in a tank playing AHL plugs on the second line. Remind anyone of Vey last season?

With all of the trade Tanev people on here and the Yotes looking to move Duclair. What do you think about a deal with those as the main pieces?

The Yotes were trying to grab Trouba from the peg according to rumors as they need a top pairing RD to play OEL.

Tanev for Duclair and a 1st?

Vey was never picked on waivers..

He was traded from LA
Put on waivers by Vancouver
Signed by the flames in the off season

I would consider it for sure. That 1st though will likely be top 3 so I doubt Yotes do it.

Never said he was picked up on waivers by Canucks. Vey was the AHL plug playing on the second line....for the tank job

I'd take him over Chapoo at this point.

I would hope to draft Liljegren with the pick or ours.

Having top pairing of Liljegren and OJ would be unreal in a couple of seasons.

Only reason why i thought they may do it is because they have so many prospects they need to start pushing forward.

That would be the greatest trade JB made .... but doubt AZ would give up a lotto pick ... but would be awesome if they did. That's exactly the kind of trade Canucks need to muscle up for Tanev.

Yup its the only way Im moving him is for a deal like or a top prospect center(strome type) or younger RD(trouba type).

You're not following ....signing a notorious slow adjusting free agent pretending it will mean instant goals; passing over numerous mid level free agents now scoring on other teams; no waiver pick ups; letting go of versatile players like Vey for Plugs like Skille etc calling it depth .... sounds like a stealth tank... doesn't it
