Question for you guys.
Would you move our 1st+ for Clowe if we got one of San Jose's 2nds (theirs or Pitt's) in return?

id move a 1st for a 2nd + clowe yeah.

 

[Pip]

I would do gaunce and 1st for clowe and 2nd

gaunce is pretty much clowe junior if he devoleps perfectly

there's no way I touch that

roy was thought to be more expensive too. if he's a rental and vancouver knows it, and they get it for something like i said, i'm ok with that. maybe

 

[y2kcanucks]

I am getting zero work done today, this is brutal...

Me too. And I plan to work from home tomorrow so I can watch Trade Center lol.

 

[Catamarca Livin]

he has an NTC so he can't hate us that much if the Sharks are negotiating with us.

but ya, he's gonna choose New York if they ask him.

Maybe he wants to play in the playoffs, NYR cannot promise that.

 

[Sleeper]

Also worth noting is that there's apparently a rift between him and the San Jose player leadership (Thornton and Marleau). So he may relish a chance to go to a rival and stick it to them.

but really, i think we're grasping at straws here. New York or Vancouver? The answer is always gonna be New York.

That's the way I feel. I hope Gillis doesn't do something rash here.

I hear ya

I'd be willing to do anything that doesn't include Jensen, Corrado, or Kassian at this point. Like a 2nd and a prospect not one of those three, or a 1st and midling prospect like Andersson or Polasek.

 

[ProviesGhost]

Hmmm............ AV or Tortorella.

 

[y2kcanucks]

I would love to get Clowe depending on the cost.

 

[mossey3535]

We do NOT NEED this guy at this time if it means giving up more picks.

 

[4thlinegrinders]

i can't believe you guys are willing to give a 1st and a top prospect for an aging power forward with 0 goals on the year...

Not if you're Mats Sundin.

 

[Pip]

We need a new thread

 

[Zombotron]

Hmmm............ AV or Tortorella.

clowe'sssss juniorrrrr coachhhhhhhhh

 

[Treefingers]

i can't believe you guys are willing to give a 1st and a top prospect for an aging power forward with 0 goals on the year...

Yeah, there's no way that I'd do that for Clowe. Yikes...I'm pretty anxious to see what happens with this.

 

[LightningBurrows]

Get a legitimate top 6 forward!


No to clowe

 

[CCF23]

This is essentially where I'm at.

If the deal doesn't include Jensen, Kassian, Corrado, Gaunce, Schroeder, Lack, or a roster player, I'm fine with whatever it is (including a 1st).

If it does, I hope he picks NYR.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I think Doan only moves when Phoenix moves. Torres perhaps?

I was looking more at the top-six options, as I view Torres as a different type of asset (that they are likely looking at as well).

 

[Snatcher Demko]

No ****, I don't want Clowe here either.

The only guys (rentals) worth a 1st were Jagr and Iginla. Nobody else.

There's a reason why a playoff bubble team like SJ is getting rid of him. He's got zero goals and he's slow.

This is like the Ballard syndrome - getting enamoured with one facet of Clowe's game (toughness/fighting) while overlooking the whole picture.

Getting Kassian back healthy makes Clowe redundant.

 

[shortshorts]

You're the worst kind of fan.

I disagree. I've stuck with the Canucks far past my join date, and I have been here for the highs, the lows and even lower. The direction the Canucks have gone since 2011 has been the most frustrating path imaginable.

I will not be giving up on the Canucks, but my fandom has certainly been dwindling.

 

[struckmatch]

Rumor has the asking price being a few picks and one of them being conditional (I'm assuming it would become a first) if Clowe's new team reaches the SCF or Conference Final.

I would suspect SJ will get some draft picks, including additional or conditional pics, if Clowe re-signs with team that acquires him.
