CanucksFan26 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 If Minnesota becomes a seller I wonder if we could turn it into a bigger deal and try to pry Jake Middleton too. He plays big minutes, a top penalty killer, one of about 10 players in the league over 100 hits and 100 blocked shots this year, and has a reasonable cap hit for one more year. Also very responsible with the puck. His turnover ratio is pretty good. Would be nice to have a guy like that if Nikita leaves in the offseason and given the health of Soucy. Adds more flexibility to the back end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the playoffs even have many fights anymore? A guy needs to be able to contribute useful minutes. If he’s a big, mean, and hard to play against fellow too, then that’s great. If we are getting a fighter go for the guy from CBJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But The guy from CBJ is a player (10-15 useful minutes) who can also fight. The point is if we are targeting a bottom line, hard to play against guy, then get one who is a great fighter too. This Duhame guy is a middleweight at best. The guy from CBJ is a big bopper. And he provides equally otherwise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t see us with any need for a lightweight who does little like Duhame. He’s not adding anything to our club that we don’t already have. If we do go for a guy like that, then get one who is a big bopper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add PK if it works out and let this team take the best run they can 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odjickwillkillyou Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I like the idea of someone gritty who is willing to drop them when needed, but for me someone like B. Tanev makes way more sense for the POs because he can make other teams miserable and still contribute on the sheet ala Raffi in 2011. Especially if we are going to give up a valuable asset.

BigBird Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Not sure if this is the right move, need a top six winger added to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien-Punch Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) I think this is exactly the type of move this team needs, when we play big heavy teams in the playoffs we need big bodies to push back. Duhaime has that and will help keep other agitators honest. Last season Florida came in heavy hitting everyone. Vegas was able to handle that game because they have a big team and Nic Hague thew his weight right back at them. Zedorov was a great addition but we need more spark plugs. A few years ago Patrick Maroon was that type of player. He new his role, brought a big heavy game, could back it up with fights, and constantly talked shit to get the other teams off their game. Duhaime is not a heavy weight fighter like Maroon but he can be a shit disturber. Tocchet appreciates the value of what these guys bring to the team. They help everyone else out when the games start getting physical. I hope we add him Hoglander Pettersson Mikheyev Suter Miller Boeser Joshua Lindholm Garland Duhaime Blueger Lafferty Aman Di Giseppe Edited February 27 by Rypien-Punch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK-19 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Not a fan of wingers who have basically no offensive ability. Sure he can hit but its because we'll always be playing in our own zone when he's out playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
