I personally think it's a good call sending him back down. He didn't do all that much and the extra yr in jr will help him grow in size and it will get more benifit about of is by playing more then 10mins a game.

Bad trade. 25-year old d-man with puckmoving skills and probably the best skater on our team for a decent winger and a minor leaguer. The team is full of decent wingers already. I don't want to see Hansen or Raymond get sent down in favor of this guy. For one thing...those two don't cost $1.3m a season.
Ridiculous trade. Go out and get us a real scoring winger and pack up Ohlund, Salo or Bieksa, Gillis.

^ahh think u got your players backwards..Oulette is the minor leaguer, O'briens been a full-time NHLer for sometime now and plays on the blue line..
Great trade imo
I've liked O'brien since i watched him on the ducks, he's going to be a monster physical presence on our blue line
personally i never liked Lucas to begin with, small defensemen are definately not a preferance in my books, and not to mention when did you EVER see him battling in front of the net? or even in the corners? alot of the time last year Kraijek was a liability for giveaways when the pressure was in the offensive zone or when being played physicall
dare i say.. we've got perhaps the toughest team in the NW at this point?

Maybe getting a big, physical defenseman in exchange for Krajicek is a sign that another physical defenseman already on the roster might get traded? ie. Bieksa?

Either way...Ouellet isn't exactly an upgrade over anyone on the team.

^ the Ouellet part of the trade is a wash, it's a Minor leaguer for a Minor leaguer in theory, and Ouelette has more NHL experiance
the meat of the trade comes with O'brien for Lucas, which imo is a definate upgrade

Having O'Brien definitely gives Bobby Lou much more needed backup.

O'briens a big bodied guy. He brings physicality/toughness, decent defense and
he's able to put up numbers offensively.
To be honest, we got a great deal... Krajicek is a pussy.. O'brien's a monster...
Both players still have potential...

I'm all for that trade. By getting tougher in front of lou, hopefully that will prevent as many ppl running lou over during the course of the season.
The canucks' defense is also guilty of being too soft in front of their own net whenever there's a loose puck so I think this will also help.

So what are the lines going to be???
it's getting almost to the point that we need to drop pyatt, especially if we pick up another top forward
peice it together:
Sedin - Sedin - Bernier
Demitra - Raymond - Wellwood
Pyatt - Kesler - Burrows
hordichuck - pettinger - Rypien
+Hansen johnson brown ?
then
Ohlund - Edler
Bieksa - Mitchell
Salo - O'brien
7th - Davison
i'm not really saying it's definite but it shows u who needs to fit..
imo Hansen needs to be in the regular lineup.

The will play kesler burrows and hansen together
wellwood hordichuck and johnson/rypien
since they have obrien now they can wave brown. and keep pettinger or krog as a spare.

Interesting trade today. I didn't mind Lucas at all for his offensive abilities and excellent skating. Some more grit on the back end is definitely something I am looking forward to.
The D needs to intimidate the opposing teams forwards. If any of you guys play hockey, you will probably respect a forearm or a shoulder to the body every time you are attempting to come near the net with the puck. You quickly learn that it is probably in your best interest to look for a pass or take a shot from the outside. With solid D floating around the circles there is no doubt they are gonna be looking to fuck someone up.
The Canucks so often simply wait for someone to come in and try to dangle and then when they get a shot on net they stand in front of Luongo as the D skates away. You gotta set the tone and basically stand up for anyone who attempts to make a break for the net.
Luongo isn't going to let a lot passed him when the puck is outside the box.

Wasn't Krajicek awful last season before his injury? Or was it the year before? I remember swearing and wanting to punch the TV every time I seen Krajicek on the ice because everytime he was on the ice it would result in bad giveaways and lazy ass plays.

Out of curiousity, I'm just wondering how did Fabian Bruunstrom do in the exhibition? Is he any good?
I'm having trouble finding info about him since exhibition stats aren't really recorded.

BROWN may be a spare in the line up too..
They were going to send him down but they heard that people
are interested in Brown, and they dont want to lose him on waivers
like McIver... Don't know what Gillis has in plan with brown, but he's not
going down.. not yet.
