Default Vancouver canucks should do

Sign Morrison to a home town discount
Get rid of naslund
Keep the Sedin Twins
If Loungo doesnt wanna sign a long term deal get rid of him
Try to get someone that will play a full year with the sedins(nothing against pyatt but nope not him)
Most of all go after a top 3 scoring not top 6 top 3

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure why all of sudden, people are worked up about getting Demitra into a Canucks unfiorm.

He'll be 34 years old next season, rarely plays a full season, hasn't had a big offensive year since 2003, and it's not like he hasn't received the ice time.

Again, maybe I'm coming out of left field on this, but I just don't see how he is the answer to the Canucks prayers.

He's not Daryl, but he might be a guy who could help this team at the right cost as a second liner.

The problem with the Canucks is that they really need two new top lines. If Naslund and Demitra are a part of a first or second line group that doesn't include the Sedins, I'd support them playing here.

The problem with the Sedins is that they can only score one way. They either need an elite winger to make them dangerous off the rush, or they need to be second liners who don't play against another teams best defenseive players.

The Sedins produced the most late in the season in '06. That was when they were second powerplay unit and second line for Crawford behind the big line. However the Canucks did not make the playoffs that year because of blueline injuries and a lack of clutch goaltending (sound familiar).

Naslund and Demitra are promising pieces to shift between first and second lines. Provided they have the right players for the first line.

I agree Shilling, Demitra is probably not the answer...but then who knows? who thought Anson Carter was going to score 30 goals 2 years ago?
As for Naslund I'm not sure if he'll be around...I think most fans feel his tenure is up. I mean 7 mil to do what he did? We can't afford to keep him around for another year.
As for the Sedins, I say put em on the market and see what u might get in return. They r talented players, but have shown time and time again that they do not have what it takes to get it done when the chips r down...in fact they all but disappear.

And well I don't know how the Luongo situation is going...but if he doesn't stay we'll be serious contenders for last place in the Conference...
Good luck to Gillis...He'll need it.

Get rid of Loungo, he's the only thing that will keep this team going for the next 3-4 years.
