its like Nonis last year..xept the team is in such great shape its hard to touch, where as calgary has a boat of injuries and they need to fill the void of the missing roles for now and add onto the playoffs

the canucks are in a position for the post season, how far can this team go will be the biggest question and is it worth unloading to push..

As far as Luongo can take us.

Tim Budong 03-04-2009 09:54 AM

to be honest...Luongo is clearly the piece of the pie that will lead us there, but the canucks are still missing that key checking role past winners and powerhouses have had when they do win.

Philly needs to do something if breire wants to play haha

Tim Budong 03-04-2009 10:04 AM

and the vermette trade is more likely a threat to us than ever...
even tho we do not play them
it makes their team that much better

Probably when the center got kicked off the circle lol..less than 1 hour to go.I hope Florida gets desperate and trade Jbo for bieksa/raymond as rumoured

Tim Budong 03-04-2009 10:15 AM

eat me ><

i still dont think the jbo trade will happen...
beiksa is signed..to not too much money..
Jbo will command more money for the same production aside from superstar power

again.i go back to Ohlund not getting enough respect out east thus his stock isnt as high as what we see and probably what the NW division sees

Chairman Kaga 03-04-2009 10:16 AM

Jaybo >>>>> Bieksa

You have to be stupid to not take Jaybo over Bieksa.

Hondaracer 03-04-2009 10:17 AM

if you signed JBO and give up bieksa, u let ohlund go next year and the cap room is there for jbo

Gt-R R34 03-04-2009 10:20 AM

JAYBO!

Grandmaster TSE 03-04-2009 10:21 AM

for jbo, you gotta think about long term
hes 25 now and is racking in more than 20 minutes a game and is one of the best skaters out there
he just reached the good years, 25 to 35 is when he'll really shine

Tim Budong 03-04-2009 10:24 AM

ughh..
i cant comment much on this.
i honestly dont agree with bowmeester...but im not going to rip up the trade
yea..jaybo is a better skater..but..how much or wat can this team do...
it be awesome tho...
phlund out, jaybo in
and then maybe hodgeson comes play for us becuz brampton gets knocked out of memorial cup action, proves himself
sedins dont sign..and hten sign everyone..
bahhh
ahaha
nvm

um.. the canucks are full of checkers

lacking size and physical presence yes

and a true scorer

Tim Budong 03-04-2009 10:32 AM

yea but it seems the team has a clear top two lines now..
and kylewellwood is NOT a checker..

Basing off of yesterday's game, Mason Raymond does not belong on the 4th line, or we need more skill on the fourth line. Quite a few times he was rushing 1 on 3 because Johnson and Hordichuk was that far behind the play. When they were deep in the checking zone, none of those 2 guys could keep up with Raymond's speed. It was quite comical and sad to see that line play.

Wellwood is clearly a talented player and just needs some chances and a coach that is putting his confidence down. I know he was given the chance to play with the twin sisters on the PP, but I can see he has the gift to score and make plays. Playing with Pylon is a waste for Wellfed. Bernier looks pretty good playing with Wellwood. He can skate and can score, just needs a little bit more finish.

If anyone, Pylon needs to go, so they can put Raymond on the third line with Wellfed and Bernier. Add some time and they might be able to mold into a pretty good third line that can pitch in with offense, but they will suffer as a "checking" line.

If they bring back Linden, then the 4th line would be perfect. :thumbsup:
