How Worried Would You Become If.....

[Uncle Danny 155]

Meh. It would definitely make them scarier, but not so much that I'd worry about them more than, say, the Ducks or Sens. Keep in mind that Forsberg hasn't played in 8 mos, Sundin has been on one team his entire career, and that we'd be completely shaking the foundation of the Canucks offensive foundation (ha, did I just type that?).

It would be asking a lot for that forward corp, new and old alike, to make the necessary adjustments to their game and to find chemistry as a unit. Now, if they had this lineup for all of (or even most of) a season.... yikes.

BTW -- Anyone else think that a line of Sedin, Sundin and Sedin would give play by play announcers nightmares?

at times I get the impression that some people play too much Xbox and use too little brains.

in real life players don't come for free. nor does "Lilja and bag of pucks for Sundin" work.

if Canucks were to sport Floppa and Sundin on their roster they'd have to sell all their

draft picks through 2010 and all the way down to 25th ( ) round and also send

the rest of their current lineup packing to some other team. and I'm not sure this'd be

enough.

not even to mention salary cap limitations which apparently are forgoten by homegrown

"player merchants".

with inflated rental players' prices and salary cup there's just no way in hell a single team

captures two top-of-the-field guys. most teams won't even go that far to bring one

pickup because that would milk them off a huge part of their future.

Vancouver needs some scoring other than Swedish Twins and Nazzy. but they are rather

unlikely to pursue huge names prior to trade deadline. with Luongo in the net they are

nevertheless deadly in playoffs and with experience they gained last year they may proove

to be the hard nut to break this year.

The way I see it, if you add two first-liners, only one of them is going to be successful. I knew this when NYR acquired Gomez & Drury (although I assumed Drury would be the successful one), and it is no less true in this case.

In Vancouver, Sundin would be successful and Forsberg less so, in part due to his injuries and also because his playing style is different.

Luongos probably the best goaltender in the league right now, but I still think he can be proved to be human.

As for Vancouver adding Sundin and Forsberg? Id bet my life that it doesnt happen. 1) cap space 2) reality. Plus Forsberg wants to be with Philly, and theyll likely make it happen.

And if Vancouver were to add Sundin, that just brings them up to good offense, instead of weak.

Plus what the Canucks will have to trade to get Sundin for a playoff rental, wouldn't be worth it

That would be scary but Van's D other then Lou is really what I think they need to fix, also they don't seem to tough, trust me us red wings new all about it

[RedStormRising 7]

Luongo is overrated.

I think Vancouver will make a pitch for Mats. Being the guy to finally bring the Cup to Van, would be quite the motivator for Nonis. But I don't think they will part with good young guys like Bieksa or Edler, and aside from them and very expendable Kesler who else would they have to offer? A boat load of high picks? Toronto is going to auction Sundin off to the highest bidder and I don't think the Nucks will win the sweepstakes. As for Forsberg, who cares?

The Nucks adding some scoring would make those 3-2 wins we had against Van so far look very interesting... I don't think the Wings will stand pat themselves though. As with Giguere, Luongo has been shown to be vulnerable to the close in pass for the one-timer and deflections. If you think you'll beat 'em with one-timers from far out, you'll out-shoot them and lose by a goal.
