Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

ok, let me clarify.. of course money matters.. I am saying so long as its only a 1 year contract, if we pay an extra million or so to Miller, It doesn't matter to our cap for the year. I understand that we want to be in a position to take on Salary (and we still will be) to potentially make a deal,...

I am hoping the Lukas Jasek gets signed this offseason. If memory serves me right, this is his last year under contract in the Czech league. Still just 19, he played 16 games this year in the Czech league without making an impact (or scoring points), but once he was loaned the Czech 2 league he mana...

How was that FO% doing with Hank and Bo taking wrong side draws.

I case tonight was the reminder for those with short memories.

Has anyone had a chance to watch Jasek at the worlds? I was very impressed with him at Shawnigan Lake 2 years ago. He easily stood out as the prospect with the most potential at that time with his speed and creativity. What he appeared to need was a couple of good years to develop his body - definit...

So Matthews got 4 goals in the 1st NHL game - big deal. There have been 2 guys that have got 5 goals in their NHL debut - and they both happened the same day! Of course, it was a few years ago - like say 99 of them. Nov 26, 1917. There was another big debut that day - the NHL - guys really weren't r...

Let's play a game... I've made my dark horse pick in Cederholm whose on no ones radar, who would yours be? Can't choose a prospect currently rated in the top 10... I'd be curious to know who you'd take and who other Canuck fans would take? Take care... Excellent suggestion ! Which ranking do we use...

Jim Ignitowski scares the hell out of me when it comes to the cap especially if this team ever gets competitive again under his watch . Think of it like the dude managing his paycheque every two weeks . He has to make 2000$ last for fourteen days . So he makes his mortgage payment which he's alread...

LA may get out of cap hell if he is sent home and the Richards termination is upheld. But they will need to upgrade their defence. Maybe we could trade them Sbisa? Or maybe Hamhuis for two firsts and Lucic :mrgreen: :mrgreen: How about we send them Hammy for Forbert. Take Hammy's $$$ and make a sub...

It seems that hockey people are loyal to a fault. Giordano didn't really come into his own until his late-20, and is now peaking at 30/31. He's a good player and a very good piece for the Flames. But, nearly $7 million for a 35-37 year old defenceman is risky. I look at a guy like Chara, who is a m...

Looks like both LV and QC have successfuly completed "phase 1" and have been invited to take part in "phase 2". I gather all phase will be complete by Sept 4. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/las-vegas--quebec-city-hit--phase-ii--of-nhl-expansion-process-191056907.html 15/16 looking mor...

Lou Lamoriello Named leaves GM? Why you might ask. I have it on good authority that leaves ownership wanted to eliminate the negative perceptions following years of fans booing at the ACC. By hiring Lou they can now get pundits like Dreger to spin the boos into Loos. The idea was first brought up w...

Lou leaves NJ to become Leaf GM

What are people thoughts?

I think that he will bring lots of respect but dont see any radical improvement for the upcoming year.
