Low risk predictions.
bull shit predictions, imo. They have inflated most of the player's points by about 5 points across the board, if you compare the top 40 D-men from last year to their predictions from this year (Ignore the player's name, but just looking at the points.) Case in point, the 40th highest scoring D-man last season had 35 points. They predict 40. The 18th highest had 45 points. They predict 52.

So, is the NHL.Com predicting scoring will be up this season versus last year, or are they just inflating numbers as bait-click?
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

How do you figure?!? Upshall couldn't not make this team 2 years ago when we really sucked balls and were signing guys like Gagner to play here...

If Scottie is worth a look on a PTO, Timmy has got to be worth a high 2nd or a low first. :shock: :lol: :mrgreen:

Puljujarvi just signed a 1 year contract in Finland!
Jesse Puljujärvi has signed a one year deal with his old club Kärpät Oulu of the Finnish League. Includes option to go play in the NHL by December 1st.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Yeah, he wants to play in the NHL; he just wants to get away from the Oilers, and from what I've read that probably makes sense.
Can we swing a trade for him? Or how long does it take until he becomes a free agent?
Whatever you do, always give 100 %!

With all the middle 6 forwards we got currently I don’t think he’s a fit.
