One thing i notice...the canucks have feasted on the coilers and their own pillowy softness for the past decade. Not any longer. They're building a big team now and will be eager to thump who they view as their biggest rivals over the hill.
Unless vcr can add some legit front end push back...this group looks to top the league in the soft as butter category once again
If you need air...call it in

Kane should be a Canuck as long as we do not give up any young assets. Maybe Hansen or Edler but no one under the age of 25. BTW. Welcome Skriko. I also watched Benning play D for the nucks......I think. Was a strange time for me.

The 87/88 season was a shitshow, Dan Hogdson looked like a scorer until a Calgary prick broke his leg http://canuckslegends.blogspot.ca/2011/ ... dgson.html , Paul Lawless (Paul Pointless) was a waste of space, etc
But hey reds in the coliseum were only $25!
Had a 10 game pack in 1987/88, I am a fan OK?
(and I watched GMJB play defense for us)

But subtracting two popular players to add a degenerate?

Risky.

Bill Day says, Kane will be directed to the NHL/NHLPA Behavioral Health professionals for evaluation and counseling, if deemed necessary.
10:48 AM - 22 Jul 2016
Would this be considered Stage 1? Or because it was reported, we're in Stage 2?
Every player that is suspended by the NHL for any reason (head-shot, steroids, wife-beating, whatever)

... is auto-referred to the NHL/NHLPA "Program for Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health".

Pretty sure Kane does not have what is commonly called a "substance-abuse problem" there BoS.

Also, Kane is by no means "a degenerate"... he's a professional athlete who does plenty of charity work.

Evander Kane is immature for his age and prone to unprofessional off-ice behavior, I'll give you that...
Gimme Evander Kane

A seriously talented asshole
We defo need a top up on assholes

They actually had him on 1040?

As if I needed any more motivation to not tune in to that station!

Wow, I know he's good, but this seems like a pretty steep price for a #4 D-man. They must see some up-side to him that I haven't heard of. Even the sports writers are saying it was a pretty steep price.
