i've liked brendan morrison for a long time, the canucks fans for the most part don't like him, but their hockey intelligence is....well let's just say they'll drink whatever kool-aid nonis is selling them.
he's out until mid march, and is a center, but also is making $3.5/year, a bit much, but not as bad as people might think. he works his butt off, is good in all 3 zones, has good vision, good passer, good pk and defensively, and on the draw.
wondering if we could get ryder for him.
another player i absolutely love on the canucks is alexandre burrows, i must say i cannot remember ever seeing a harder working player in the nhl, i'm not talking showing up every game, i'm talking every shift. of course the canuck faithful complain that he doesn't score and he has bad hands.
they look at boxscores and stats and conclude that he isn't that good, but what i see is tenacity, hard work every shift, great wheels , excellent on the pk, not afraid to do anything to win. he's an upgrade on kosto, and i think he has two years left at $550k or so/year, a steal for what he brings. oh yeah he's also a quebec kid.
the canucks d-line is decimated with injuries like nothing i've seen. i think 5 of their 6 starting lineup was out the other night. currently injured are: mitchell, bieksa, kraijcek, hobbled are: ohlund, salo. the only healthy one is edler right now.
so how about dandy for burrows and ryder for morrison?

I'd happily do dandy for burrows, not sure the canucks would though. As for morrison, I like him, but what do we do with another center? I thinkt he Canucks would want more than Ryder for him too.
