I'd love to see Nash here, moreso than Weber or any other d-man in the league. But he's the type of guy that you build your team around, not bring in to complement the core you have already. We're too far into our build process to fit a guy like Nash in; too bad.
I'm not sure where people are coming from saying the Canucks need another top 6 fwd to do well. We got that guy in Booth. So prior to getting Booth, these same people were thinking we'd need 2 more top 6 fwd's to get the job done? If/when Higgins is firing on all cylinders, the 2nd line will be huge with Kes and Booth.
I believe the Sedins have been taking some time and energy off their game for the past month. It's not unusual for elite athletes to taper back their training regimen to conserve juice for the actual event--in this case the Cup run. That's the only reasonable explanation. You don't have back to back Art Ross winners play so average all of a sudden on such a regular basis. With their overwhelmingly mediocre play, the Canucks still winning, I hope this is a tactic that will payoff.
