What do we do? Who really knows who is available. I would really kick tires harder then that homie above. I think severson would be a good target. Young,cheap. I want to beg Holland to do something but be careful what you wish for lol I miss hockey already. Ill probably pull out the dough to see last opening night. Just not paying 20 bucks for a double jack and coke like I did for my birthday lol have a good one guys

Well, I just read on the main board that Severson may be available. I'd kick the hell out of those tires.

A handful of other intriguing names have joined the list: Anaheim’s Cam Fowler, New Jersey’s Damon Severson, Columbus’ Sergei Bobrovsky, Toronto’s Tyler Bozak and the Rangers’ Derek Stepan.

As far as drinking and attending hockey games go, I strongly suggest you pre-game

I just want to see KH make an honest commitment to honour his words

So either a full rebuild by selling off assets for picks and prospects

Or

A retool that changes the look of the club and brings In some tangaible upgrades

Nothing in between, no spoken increased role for larking and dekeyser while resigning old vets snd maintaing every vontract we have, it just wont do.

Agree 100 percent. He said changes and that's what I wanna see.

Troy Brouwer would be such a textbook Holland signing. I hope we avoid.

RJ Umberger might be available if Philly buys him out.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Tanev is essentially Lashoff.

I wouldn't play Tanev over any of Detroit's top 4 dmen last year, and I very likely wouldn't play him over Marchenko either. I would play him over Smith. That's about it.

this might be the most ridiculous thing i've ever read on here. chris tanev, top pairing shutdown defenseman, is essentially lashoff. he's more like dekeyser. except he's better.

that's without touching the ridiculousness of ericsson, quincey and marchenko > smith.

also using +/- to explain anything. tanev had slightly better goal differential 5on5 than hamhuis. he just played more games so raw +/- ended up being worse. tanev is also better than edler. go as canucks fans. previous 3 season tanev had the best goal differential of canucks dman 5on5.

was brad stuart better than lidsträm back in 10-11?

Is Severson projected to be a top pair with offensive upside? He was on the NJ top 4 the latter half of the year.

Wondering if we can kill two birds with one stone:

To New Jersey:
Nyquist/Tatar
Datsyuk

To Detroit:
Severson

Assuming we would need to add something to even up?

 

[gretskidoo]

Severson would be fantastic target.

 

[Ezekial]

I think KH should go around and kick the Severson tires twice.

Nyquist and Tatar alone wouldn't get us severson.

 

[DanZ]

Lol yeah they would

 

[taylorjonl]

I think if we weren't adding the Datsyuk contract that they would but with the Datsyuk contract I think we add, which is why I said I assume we need to add, just not sure how big the difference is.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Lol yeah they would

i highly doubt that.

I am on board with Severson. If NJ has the space Daytsuk is a throw in. He doesn't cost the team anything if its not space they were going to utilize. If they need anything beyond Nysquist/Tartar need to reevaluate.

 

[Vladdy84]

Gotta love how our young 25-30 goal scoring wingers are garbage now. They both had off years.

They're 25 and 26 now. Time to trade those bums.

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Go get Fowler, Kenny! I command thee!

 

[Bench]

Holland kicking tires on a #1 defender.

 

[SimplySolace]

Lucic heading to FA.. Kenny is gonna have a field day.

If you had to pick one overpaid FA signing: Backes, Ladd, or Lucic

 

[DanZ]

i highly doubt that.

Than you're overrating Severson.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Than you're overrating Severson.

or you're underrating him.

21 years old with two season behind and in both he played like legit top 4 defenseman (or borderline last season). wouldn't trade that for solid top 6 winger in their 20s if we had that. wouldn't trade dekeyser for tatar/nyquist either and severson should have more value.

 

[Ezekial]

I'm not saying he's untouchable, but I really hope we don't trade Svech. I think he could turn out to be a really good player.
