I’m aware the players don’t want it. But in reality, they don’t control the situation.

I absolutey want it as a Canucks fan if the team is on an upswing and can ditch a putrid contract or two.

I’d assume there are ten teams that would like to clear up their garbage contracts at .50 on the dollar and some of them are heavy hitters when it comes to negotiating these deals.

You seem kinda dug in here like you are some sort of insider and get angry at anyone questioning you. Sitting in on the negotiation are you? :lol: Or is it the fact that you are miserable that you are pissing razor blades?

It's just that you've got nothing but you don't let that stop you...

I have shown that the reasons for past CBOs are gone.

Think about it, Blob.
He punished SOME teams. He also let Chicago do what they want with regards to Hossa. He lets the leaves do their own thing.

Wilson's suspension is upheld.

Good on the NHL, his next suspension will be half a season.

What, Bettman upheld the league's original ruling?? Shocking! :lol:

Next step in the process is to go before a neutral arbitrator...

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

So that's what happened to ol' Cody, that's crazy man.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

No wonder Canucks medical staff couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.

Hopefully he didn't also inherit the douche gene from his pops.

TBL re-signs 26 yr old, 27 in Dec., 5'9 172lbs LW Yanni Gourde to a six-year $5.16M per contract, 3yr NTC, 3yr M-NTC, they let him develop 3 years in the AHL with some NHL games here and there before they gave him a full 82 games last season where he had a monster season.

Petrus Palmu plan?

Pretty amazing story, Skyo. Good lesson in how NOT to give up...
Doesn't even have a problem roughing it up.
