Sujet: Canucks Opening Night Roster Ottawa amp Colorado Trades
Hey I am a Canucks fan and would love to see these trades happen. I just don't think they're realistic. If Carolina got a 1st to clear one season of Patrick Marleau's contract, you don't think OTT will demand more than a prospect drafted in the 6th round and two 4th round picks to take on three years of Loui? If that is all they had to pay, Benning and all other cap strapped GMs would have done this before the FA period opened. And back to Sutter, I think you are overlooking JT Compher who the Avs appear to have chosen to sign as a cheaper option over Kerfoot. 30pt season and only 24? Probably get him at 3M? Compared to a now 30 year old player coming off an injury riddled season who is good for the same pt total? This is the new NHL. I still think Sutter has value...I certainly hope he does...because his contract or Beagle's is one I think the Canucks have to move (Preferably Beagle given the term). And Tanev, well this administration thinks we are competing for the playoffs this season.

Sujet: Habs and Canucks fans, would you make this trade?
Wow, seeing a lot of Gallagher hate on a few mock trades (not just this one). He had a down season sure, but that was due to injuries. Given a bounce back next year Nucks fans might be back to their usual "Another Vancouver Giant That Got Away" tune. Might help Gallagher's numbers too if MTL could find an actual 1st line center. He's the most proven commodity in this trade imo. I think he has a passion for the game that Vancouver lacks. Also I wouldn't say that Granlund got all 19 goals playing 3rd line. He saw his opportunities alongside Horvat and the twins. That said, as a Nucks fan, I still don't make this trade. I still want to see more from both Granlund and Hutton. Vancouver isn't at a point where they can afford to be moving on from developing players early, certainly not with a number of skilled young wingers that may be able to bring what Gallagher can. Better that the Nucks stay the course and build through the draft.

If the Habs want to do a deal with the Nucks, then look at our veterans and get your draft picks ready. Edler as the puck mover alongside Weber? Maybe a deal that swaps Plekanec and Sutter? MTL gets a cheaper 3C and the Nucks get out from under that contract's term. Both have NTC/NMC's so highly unlikely. Most likely imo is Del Zotto to the Habs at the next trade deadline after he looks like a good puck mover with Tanev anchoring him.

Sujet: Should still trade Tanev...
Eriksson SHOULD play with Horvat. Not because Baertschi doesn't deserve 1st/2nd line time, but because Loui's contract pretty much demands that the Canucks deploy him as if he's worth the 6M. He's unmovable as it stands now. Best case scenario he plays his way onto the radar of some contenders but even then, given that he waives his NMC...what are the Canucks going to do, retain how much on his 5 years remaining? Alternatively, if he's going to stay (the contract is also buyout proof), it may was well be with Horvat (and ideally with another big RW) who can make room for him. Watching him and the Sedins move the puck along the perimeter with no hope of getting to the net just isn't entertaining. My changes to deployment would be to move either Sutter or Gagner to the Sedin's RW, to give Henrik a more seasoned center to cover him in the defensive zone. At this stage in his career, he needs the Pavelski treatment that Thorton is getting in San Jose. Same deal, maybe the Sedins make one of them look like intriguing deadline trade bait and we get some picks and prospects.
