Okay, assuming Nonis does do at least one or more deals tomorrow, big or small, which Canucks do I believe could go and not set the teams back significantly…
Any pick as part of a deal for a signed player or a lower pick for a rental.
Schneider, Grabner, White, (I’m obviously not hot about these draftees), Morrison (free agent, coming off injury and will likely walk at year end), Isbister (low stock but better as of late), Ritchie, Shannon (okay, dazzling us lately, but wait until playoffs and shifty Shannon gets lost in the grind), + almost anyone on Manitoba.
Untouchables: Sedins, Naslund (would be different if the Canucks were sellers), Kesler (so overlooked in value for shutdown role; remember Anaheim’s checking line last year=key to cup), Burrows (see Kesler), Bourdon, Edler, Bieksa(three future pillars of Canucks defense), Raymond (flip-flopping here, but future could be stellar for Mason, jury’s out.), Luongo.
N.B. Anyone but Luongo can go for the right player. So much for untouchable.
