exactly the reason i wouldn't want to see this guy in a canucks uniform. he doesn't care about what team to play for or which teams wants to win, he just wants to know who's going to pay the most for him. i say good riddance.

I would be fearful of a major collapse with him on the Canucks....he's got cancer written all over him.

Like nucks_girl says...

GOOD RIDDANCE!

What is "fair market value" for a 34 year old p.o.s. anyway?

What's Anson Carter getting?

Somebody give this guy a reality check. It sure as hell ain't gonna be Gandler. If he thinks 18 goals and no points in the playoffs is going to get him anything over a million, Yashin must definitely be smoking whatever Gandler is pushing.

Have fun in Russia, Jerkov!

Jerkov, is that a Russian brand of vodka? :lol:

Quit whining, sign a one year contract and work hard. Then after that get another big contract and get back to floating like he did in the past.

Carol Alt can wait in a bread line in Vladivostok. It'll help her drop that last five. :twisted:

I think Yashin needs to realize that he's not worth what he's asking. Assuming he reduces his asking price however, here's a few things to consider (as it relates to the Canucks).

-Yashin doesn't seem to thrive in leadership roles. If Yashin came to Vancouver, he wouldn't be put in a leadership position.

-Yashin wouldn't be expected to carry the team in Vancouver.

-Yashin could help our Power Play.

-Yashin could help get Naslund going (and vice-versa).


My only concern, is that Yashin's heart might not totally be into hockey. Yashin, much like Sergei Fedorov, might prefer a "lower key" market where he can get away (to an extent) with not putting forth 100% intensity.

Going after Yashin (even at a discounted price) might not be the best move for Vancouver (or Yashin for that matter).

I vote "no" for Yashin.
