Would it be possible to get Neal? On pace for 41 goals and 88pts in 62 GP. Playing with Crosby probably helped, though.

If we were to trade for JVR, would TOR even want Edler, let alone another Dman? I see few proposals for JVR but when I do Edler is the main piece. Phaneuf, Franson, Rielly, Gardiner, Gunnarsson, Gleason, Edler?

Neal usually plays on Malkin's line (with Sid on the PP though).RyanGinger wrote:Would it be possible to get Neal? On pace for 41 goals and 88pts in 62 GP. Playing with Crosby probably helped, though.
Personally I think Neal is a great player in his own right.

Everything here is fantasy, where is there actually any trades or real rumours?
Maybe we need a fantasy thread on its own?

I have succumbed to the fact that this team can't win it all this season, especially given on how well the Cali teams have easily dominated this current canucks team all season long, including last season, which means all these injuries are no excuse.
No way in hell this team can beat LA, SJ or Anaheim in a 7 game series until MG can solidify the top 6 by adding an elite 2nd line scorer to help Kesler, and get a top 4 defense that has the proper mix of natural left and right side dmen that includes a pure QB dman, which means one of Garrison/Edler/Hamhuis has to be dealt to deal with this clusterfck of offside dmen.
Richardson is perfectly fine for the 3rd line center spot imo and we have many elite 3rd line wingers to help him, the 4th line is doing above average lately with Sestito-Dalpe-Weise.

Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
Re: Trades and rumours (& fantasies) 2013-14
I agree Skyo...no way we can beat those teams with the current roster. Which is darn depressing...I find it hard to be positive about this team when they are facing a first round opponent that is likely one of Chicago, St Louis, Anaheim, LA or SJS. Gulp.
Re: Trades and rumours (& fantasies) 2013-14
If the refs actually call all the penalties as they should, the Canucks might come up with a win in Anaheim (assuming that Sestito stood in front of the net for the all the power plays).SKYO wrote:I have succumbed to the fact that this team can't win it all this season, especially given on how well the Cali teams have easily dominated this current canucks team all season long, including last season, which means all these injuries are no excuse.

Re: Trades and rumours (& fantasies) 2013-14
What took you so long? It was nearly inevitable when the new CBA was signed a year ago and the cap was lowered. There was thought of some cap relief to help the matter from trading Luongo, but we know what happened there.SKYO wrote:I have succumbed to the fact that this team can't win it all this season,
It was a big part of the reason I thought keeping at least one of Horvat/Gaunce/Shrinkwrap would have been beneficial.
I didn't expect the Canucks to be on the bottom of a dog fight for a playoff spot but a couple of teams are doing better than I expected.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Why can't MG figure out you need assholes on the team to win because in the playoffs the refs ALWAYS put away their whistles.

Re: Trades and rumours (& fantasies) 2013-14
Except every time in recent years the Canucks played tough they got nailed by the refs (maybe they're just stupid about how they play tough). Teams can play like Art Ross candidates & the refs will always even it out with a few soft calls. Its so hard to read the reffing in this league, must drive the non-Bruins players nuts sometimes.Reefer2 wrote:The refs have not called it for years and wont start ever.
