Proposal: Vancouver moves Sbisa

[ziploc]

Sbisa made a list... looks like he's tied for 10th worst defenseman with Ference, Ohlund and Gleason! Sounds about right

What year is this from? I see he is surrounded by Matthias Ohlund and Adam Foote?

 

[M2Beezy]

If he is so good why do you guys want to move him then? You guy do not many of us read the Nuck board--but do not post there--seems 90% of the post are negative and suggest he is hurting the team

I never said we should trade him. Some or even a lot of Nucks fans hate him with wierd passion but not all of us are that blind and hateful

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

He has some limitedskills, and the Canucks were desperate for those skills when they signed him. With superior players in Gudbranson and Tryamkin having those skills plus more. He is now deadweight.

 

[jimmythescot]

The hilarious thing is the Canucks fans trade proposals for him when there are literally thousands of posts tearing Sbisa apart by Canucks fans themselves. His horrible reputation comes mostly from them.

So....why did you start the thread, then?

Trouba > Lidstrom
Tom Poti the best of all-time!

the worst thing about sbisa is that his value is nowhere near his salary.
Like a lot of physical dmen, his possession stat isn't great but he's still a capable dman.

his mobility sets him apart from most physical dmen.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

He is a good dman in the right situation. If you have the system in place he could be a 4/5 defenceman. If pit can make schultz look good someone can make sbisa a serviceable dman.

The right situation for Sbisa is in Europe or the AHL where he's a good dman.

And that's being nice.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

When Sbisa is on his game he's a serviceable #4/5. Problem is, he's not on his game a whole lot. I'd love to keep Sbisa if he was making under 2,000,000. Somethin around Sbisa/Kane?

Evander Kane is not being moved for a 7th defensemen. Plain and simple. Regardless of his off the ice troubles, he's still more valuable than this. Rather have the headache than 3.5M of nothing.

So....why did you start the thread, then?

Did you read his name?

Also I'd have to think long and hard about Sbisa for Kane and I don't know if I'd pull the trigger.

Who needs a top 4 Dman??

This is true, with Sbisa my problem is his salary. He's fine as a 6th/7th d-man but should be $2 mil per or sub that.

 

[NFITO]

Well, Ducks fans knew he was crap a long time ago.

Thanks for taking him off our hands and signing him to that wonderful extension.

No more thanks needed... you guys thanked us enough by doing the same for Bieksa... wonderful extension and all

2005 till now, min 3000 minutes.

 

[Johnny Canuck]

he is serviceable, just overpaid. tough spot to be for a player, he gets crucified due to inept management.

As a Panthers fan from Vancouver, this makes my head hurt.

Poor Guds.

 

[Breakers]

[COUGH} Kevin Bieksa {COUGH}

More of a statement on the situation of the Canucks

 

[me2]

Sbisa is a fine 5/6 dman and is overpaid by about a million, if we retained 1-1.5M he would be easily moveable for a 3rd + a contract

those two statements are contradictory.

You must feel the straight man with that setup.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Straight up for Emelin. Do it.

 

[tgo0]

This list rates Adam Pardy as number 16 on the BEST list so I'm taking it with a truck of salt. However, yeah Sbisa is awful.

I had to look up if there was another Adam Pardy playing in the NHL I somehow hadn't heard of.


If Pardy is close to it, or it kinda, sorta suggests that Trouba > Lidstrom then it shouldn't see the light of day.

 

[Arthuros]

You must feel the straight man with that setup.

That was totally intentional.

God, Bieksa must have had compromising photos of BM. Or at least a threat by Benning to send back Sbisa.

 

[WeDislikeEich]

So....why did you start the thread, then?

Probably because he was sick of seeing Sbisa for E. Kane trade proposal threads...
I know I sure am.

 

[Seventy7]

Sbisa has some poor number for sure, but I still believe is a decent 3rd pairing D. Not every asset can be measured with metrics. He is a physical presence and has lots of positive comments from his coaches and teammates. Even from a fan perspective, when he was out last season you could tell the team missed his presence. I dont think he should be getting top 4 minutes, so Im not sure what Willie D is smoking on that comment, but I definitely don't believe that he's trash.

He needs a puck retrieval positive possession partner to even his game out. That aint Gudbranson. Tanev would be an ideal fit, but he'll be up on the top pair helping Edler even his game out. Canucks will regret letting Hamhuis walk.
