Sometimes there just have to be tears

 

[Barrie22]

is this kid anywhere as bad as the kid that snapped after the sharks 1st round loss a few years back?

<Bump>

Not sure if this was ever reported.
Guess the Canucks offered the Sharks a 1st in this past draft. Something we could have used.

At the trade deadline, the Canucks were chasing Ryane Clowe. The New York Rangers ending up landing him even though, and this was reported at the time, the Canucks had offered the Sharks more.

With his NTC, Clowe had final say and chose NY for family reasons and probably also because he believed the Rangers were more likely to meet his demand as a pending UFA, which at the time was $34 million contract.

Wonder how long it took Gillis to send Clowe a thank you card...

He's injured...

 

[WTFetus]

He's injured...

What does that have to do with anything? He still would have left during free agency.

 

[Juxtaposer]

What a bummer.

 

[magic school bus]

Thanks Doug

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I don't Clowe would have waived for Vancouver anyway.

 

[hockeyball]

Well all of us who said he was worth a 1st were right!

 

[Timos Death Stare]

Would have made things square for the Error trade.

 

[ScottyDont]

I wonder who we would have picked beyond Mueller :-/

 

[magic school bus]

It's just dumb, especially if they were just gonna use the picks to trade up anyways.

Its so hard to say how things would have turned out. Lets says we trade Clowe to Van and we still beat them in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Our picks would be 20th, and 24th... We would still have to trade up to 18th for Mueller, since our scouts were so high on him and Columbus was apparently going after him. If we trade up, that means we have no 2nd round pick at all (bye bye Gabryel Paquin-Boudreau). I don't know the prospects very well, but Shea Theodore was available, he seems comparable to Mueller (correct me if I'm wrong).

Pick Hunter Shinkaruk 20th and Shea Theodore at 24th?

 

[AstroDan]

Probably beter that we don't have him as Division rival. Who could "go" with Clowe on our roster?

Who can Clowe catch up to on our roster?

 

[Led Zappa]

[hockfan1991]

Boudreau Torres and a 5 th for clowe. Wish raffi was healthy but I this should turn out well nonetheless

I don't buy this sort of ideal. If there's a deal to be made that makes sense for both teams, it shouldn't matter if that team is in your division or not. This is Ryane Clowe, not Sidney Crosby.

Just to nit-pick, but Theodore is nothing at all like Mueller (I like him better, actually...). Theodore is to Burns as Mueller is to Vlasic.

Clowe in his current form would have made it easier to be Vancouver, not harder. Imagine the tears after we swept them, Clowe was one of their worst players, didn't re-sign, and we had their first...

It would have been glorious.

In his current form. At the time...?
I'm not going to dump on Clowe. I loved him when he played for SJ. Good leader, and a beast with serious passion that was missing since Ricci left. Glad we didn't have to face him multiple times a year when he was prime.
As it turned out, the 1st from Vancouver woulds been nice, but hindsight is always 20/20.

 

[SactoShark]

Yeah he was a solid contributor for the Rangers, and they were stoked on him. He would have been great on the Canucks as well.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Clowe for the Rangers was a good player when healthy..but poor guy can't catch a break.

 

[Matalvatz]

So what's the lesson here? Don't be handing out NTC like you're giving away halloween candy...
