STOP TRADING RATY FOR PLUGS

I swear this guy isn’t actually a Canucks fan. Most of his trades are typically lopsided against the Canucks

Doesn’t address the immediate need in any way, which is defense.

Armstrong triple checks to make sure he heard you right over the phone, accepts, laughs and opens a beer

Still wouldn't be interested personally, for the reasons I gave on the last one.

Keller, Schmaltz, Maccelli, Crouse, Zucker are the top six plus one. I don't think he replaces any of them. Bjugstad and Kerfoot are killing penalties, so they aren't coming out of the line up for him. You've got Guenther waiting for a winger spot to open up, and Carcone has more points than Beauvillier with substantially less ice time on a nominally worse offensive team and substantially less money owed for the bottom-six one-dimensional undersized winger role. Where does he fit?

The big thing is the money they could use to shore up the blue line instead of adding an extra winger. I like Raty, but it's not worth it, imo.

What is Bear?
