i'm gonna assume we aren't getting sundin and ask, who's left? who should
gillis target, obviously the big names are gone but there are still a
couple
guys who can surely help the canucks offensive woes, right? right???
i'll suggest jason williams, a right handed shot and is only 27, a young
ufa.
pros:
Is gifted and savvy. Can put up solid numbers and works well with talented
linemates. Is very useful on the power play and can even play the point.
cons:
Lacks size and supreme skating ability. Must play a grittier game in order
to maximize his potential as a successful top-six forward.
would crack our top 6, which isn't saying much right now.
another one would be david vyborny, could be a good fit with the twins and
sounds like a character guy, we know gillis loves his character, and his
*cough* johnson.
pros:
Has excellent vision on the ice, skates very well and makes quick, sharp
p*****. Can score highlight-reel goals. Owns leader****p qualities.
cons:
Is smallish and plays a passive game. Could stand to shoot the puck more,
since he p***** up quality scoring chances from time to time.
obviously neither of these two guys would be ideal but the nucks need to
fill a couple roster spots with guys can create some scoring chances and
finish them. or should they just bring up grabner, hansen, hodgson, keep
raymond up, ect and tell lou maybe next year bud without bursting into
hysterics?
