Im a leafs fan, but like watching the canucks when they're on, i could see Ryder in a nucks uni. He needs a change and Vancouver wouldnt be a bad spot. If u want a good gritty guy who can put up points chris kelly wouldnt be too bad either but he'd be more of a second lienr which u guys dont need.

bigscoup, you're pretty wrong. vancouvers top 8 defense is very solid and up in the tops of the league. canucks can spare a very decent d-man, a depth bottom six forward, or a prospect. the only thing nonis can't get rid of, are the top six forwards.

i see nonis parting with any of the following

cooke - fan favorite
isbister - has met expectaions, still underachieving...
cowan - whats the point if you are an enforcer and only fight once a month
ritchie - has been coming into his own recently, but still not working hard enough
salo - NTC i think, but may go, and could pull in someone pretty decent.
mitchell - though he is a fan favorite, great defense
krajicek - young, very good offensive, smart defense
miller - good defensive player
weaver - solid 6th d man

from the farm

balej
hansen
coulombe
moran

and the shiny goalie - schnieder (has to be for an incredible top 6 forward though)

Very very few players can "easily" score 30 goals in a season. Ryder is not one of them.

Nonis is far too cautious to deal for higher profile players. He's more concerned about making mistakes than he is making improvements. The names mentioned in the main topic are fairly realistic but certainly would be at the top end of the risk scale for Nonis.

I think the Nucks' should go after Ryder. He's probably the cheaper option and he's proven that he can score easily 30 goal per season. For the others I don't personnaly think that the Sens would le go Eaves especially for a Pick. Upshall won't go out of Philly. He's young and fits real well with the Flyers. Maybe Bernier but I dont know much about him.

I agree about Ryder, and to some extent Hunter.
But Ryder definitely seems like he could be traded.
Bottom line though, the Canucks won't be an improved team no matter what they do this year. They've gotta free up $9 mil by letting go of Nazi and B-Mo, no matter how well they are suddenly playing in this, oh guess what, contract year.
