Now I know everyone is eager to see this stale old team turned over, and a fresh and exciting product on the ice come fall. To accomplish this end, I propose the following.
First, we need to get rid of anyone who’s been with the organization a long time, because…BO-RING. Right? Am I right?
So let’s start with Ohlund. We’ll swap him to San Jose for Patrick Marleau, and maybe throw in some extras to make the deal more interesting, like…
Ohlund
Raymond
Schneider
Burrows
5th and 3rd round picks
Futures
for
Marleau
and some other stuff
I think GM’s find really huge trades like this more interesting, and Wilson would bite. Ohlund will waive his no trade contract because he likes Nonis and will want to repay the Canucks for all the fun he had here.
Next we gotta get rid of Morrison. The guy hasn’t been the same since Big Bert left, and he was never really a #1 centerman anyway. 3.2 million is too much! We will trade him to New Jersey, because they need offensive help, and they will send us Gionta, because we need offensive help. Win-win! It’ll look something like…
Morrison
Rypien
Koltsov
Edler
2nd and 4th round picks
Futures
for
Gionta
and some guys. Sorry I don’t know much about Jersey lol! Maybe a guy like Elias he could help.
Jersey will go for this because they like Morrison and also because who needs a little guy like Gionta? He will be good for us and totally light up the league with Naslund. 50 goals, mark it.
Lastly we need to get rid of that guy Cooke, because we have lots of other guys that do his thing like Rypien and Burrows. So we trade Cooke to Buffalo.
Cooke
Grabner
Schneider
1st round pick
for
Vanek
Buffalo doesn’t need an overpaid guy like Vanek and they need grit so they really would like Cooke, and Grabner will be > Vanek soon anyway. We get a scorer to play with the Sundins.
Of course that leaves us with some bad holes at defence and no good forecheck.
So I say we trade
Kesler
Pyatt
7th Pick
Futures
to San Jose for
Ohlund
Ohlund is a Swedish guy so I think he will like Vancouver because we have lots of Swedes to talk to and hang out with and crap, and San Jose needs a centerman to play behind Thornton so they will be all over Kesler!
Then we sign and trade Linden along with Ritchie and Isbister to Buffalo for Matt Cooke. They need leadership there with their captains gone and Cooke will be a good fast forecheck for us, especially since we have no Kesler anymore.
Then I think we’re set. Maybe we can get Morrison from Devils to round out our offense. Good BC boy and he will come cheap, coming off bad injuries.
What do you guyz think?
