I find myself agreeing with a Laughs fan for a change. :eh:

Well, sorta.....I'd say he's one of the most overrated.

The latest has Pitt making a "pitch" to the Canucks for Kesler pre-Olympics for a deal centered around Pouliot and Sutter. My guess is Gillis probably wants Despres or Bennett included as well. No brainier would be Maatta but he's unlikely available.

Pouliot and Sutter for Kesler? Those two were traded for Jordan Staal a couple seasons back essentially. Ironic, if there's any truth to it.

Buffalo GM Tim Murray has asked Ehrhoff to provide his list of 8 teams that he will not report to.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=444870

Gillis should jump on this.

To Van: Ehrhoff + Ott + Moulson

To Buf: Edler + Kesler + Higgins

Better still.....

To Van: Ehrhoff + Ott + Moulson

To Buf: Edler + Daniel

:lol:

Who else gets called a "Franchise Player" who puts up 55-60 points a season? And it's the Toronto media that has overrated this guy so much.

Agreed, but if Gillis has been told to make this team a contender now, that trade makes sense.

Maybe you really shake things up and drop Kesler and Ott from the equation and get screwy.....

To Buf: Edler + Higgins + Hansen + Corrado + 2nd

To Van: Ehrhoff + Moulson + Weber

Any trade that got us Moulson and Ehrhoff instantly upgrades our offense (something we badly need).

Sedin-Sedin-Bur
Moulson-Kes-Kassian

If you subscribe to the theory that the Sedin's problem is the lack of secondary support, then that's a nice top six. No two ways about it.

Problem is that it depletes our bottom 6.

Richardson-Schroeder-Booth
Sestito-Lain-Dalpe

Defense looks OK still

Hamhuis-Bieksa
Garrison-Ehrhoff
Stanton-Tanev (maybe the steadiest under-25 pairing in the league)

If the rumors are true and Christian Erhoff truly is available, then I honestly think we should make a bid. Period.

IF the Sabres are willing to deal Erhoff back to Van, then I'd be willing to hold off on to this core for a little while longer and give them another shot.

Bring back Erhoff and Torres in separate deals.

Can we get Geoff Courtnal out of retirement while we're living in the past.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

2011 wasn't that long ago.

1994 was 20 years ago.

Bottom line? Erhoff and Torres shouldn't be all that far off from their 2011 selves.

Fuck it - I'd go "all balls in" if the Sabres actually were shopping Erhoff after paying him such a huge sum of money.

Torres shouldn't be too difficult to bring back either.

What's wrong with the idea of bringing back players that were a part of our 2011 run? Especially players that were successful for us?

Think Erhoff would help our power play much?

Who do you give up for Torres.....I mean that Wilson and the Sharks actually want to take?

Maybe a low end draft pick or a mid-level prospect. Torres hasn't played all year and so his trade value would likely be lower than normal.

I know it sounds very counter-intuitive, and that the Canucks probably should be doing the EXACT OPPOSITE (i.e. getting younger, re-tooling, etc.), but seriously..............

Erhoff and Torres were pretty solid pieces for us in 2011, and 2011 wasn't all that long ago.

If you had a chance to re-assemble that 2011 team.......a.k.a. one of the greatest teams ever assembled.........then fuck it......why WOULDN'T someone want to go that route?

Even if I'm being ridiculous here, I'd seriously offer Horvat and Shinkaruk for Erhoff, Hodgson, and whatever else that would make the deal fair (I'm guessing that Buffalo would have do give something else on there end).

Sounds nuts, but seriouly.........why not? Why not go this route if the opportunity was there?
