The Exact Opposite Strategy of a Rebuild
The Exact Opposite Strategy of a Rebuild
If Gillis and the Canucks do decide to keep this core, then here is one idea I have.
Trade Edler, Horvat, and Shinkaruk for a Top line player that can play with Kesler. This new top line player forms the NEW number one line for the team playing alongside Kesler.
Sedins' and Burrows ride shotgun on the #2 line.
The twins are no longer superstars first line players. At best, they are now average first line players. However - under the right circumstances - I think they can be excellent 2nd line players...............similar to 2005/2006 (where they could even be considered co#1 line).
If the Gillis and the Canucks are going to stay loyal to this core, then that is FINE. However - the twins can no longer be our #1 line if this is to happen. Kesler and *insert big dick player right here* needs to form the new top line. Edler/Horvat/Shinkaruk can be used as a trade to bring in said *big dick player*.

Re: The Fork in the Road
Fair enough. I too am definitely NOT a fan of the bitch side of Burrows. Burrows, Kesler, Luo, Sedins, not exactly the manliest of men and I can definitely see how the traditional hockey fan can "hate" the Canucks and can take great pleasure in seeing us fail this season.herb wrote:I can vouch for Blob on this. Him and I have had several conversations over the years about the hair pulling (2X), crotch kneeing, biting, squeeky voiced sunovabitch. I'm not a huge fan either. I can tolerate his schtick when he's putting up goals and blocking shots, but not anymore.Blob Mckenzie wrote:Yes i need to settle down I'm turning purple with rage.
I am no bandwagoner mathony. Especially when it comes to this player. I have never been a huge fan.
But I still hold fondly to the memories of the 09/10 season when we went on that 14 day road trip and the SSB line was born. And to top it off, he fucking scored the winning OT goal in game 7 against the Hawks!!!! After getting bounced two times in a row by fucking douche bag Kane and friends, Burr slays the dragon with a clutch goal on the level of Bure's against the Flames.
Bure definitely had his bitch side too. The difference was there was no high def back then.
Big deal. Alfy's 41 and still producing. MSL's 38 and on the Olympic team. Age is just a number and Burr has never been lacking in the physical fitness department.herb wrote: I've seen enough. Dude is about to turn thirty-fucking-three. His eye-hand coordination and skating were never great to begin with, and these things are going downhill first. Get what you can for him now and pencil in Shinkaruk or somebody young for next year to take his place.
Burr's HAND-eye coordination and skating were never great to begin with? Really? You have awfully high standards Herb ma boy. Burr's hand-eye coordination is much better than the average 3rd liner and same for his skating. If I may ask, who are you comparing him to in these two departments?
I wouldn't use this season as an example of anything except for what happens to teams that get hit with the injury bug in a big way and have shitty drafting records.herb wrote: Can I also point out that this team had the #1 PK for much of this year when Burrows was not in the lineup. I don't buy this notion that Burrows is a 'great' 3rd line guy who would really help out our team at $4.5M. Key players in the success of the PK this year have been much lesser paid guys like Richardson, Higgins, Santorelli and Hansen.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

You and Topper both raise excellent points, but here is my point of view:dbr wrote:But if he gets a reputation for a large quantity of dickering people will think he's niggardly.Topper wrote:Don't give in so easy, dicker with him a bit and get the best deal possible.
The last thing I want to do on here is be 'spineless' and give into the demands of others. As dbr points out, this definitely would make me look niggardly while exposing some of proverbial 'chinks in the armour' of mine.
As far as Mathonwy goes, I'm not catering into his demands out of fear.........but rather, to uphold the quality of the boards. Long story short - there will be less 'dick' references from me in the future.

There is no need to be sarcastic.
Mathonwy has clearly had a very traumatic experience in this thread and I think it's imperative that we as a community show Mathonwy good support and encouragement during what I imagine to be very trying and emotional times for him.
