If they can somehow manage to get another 1st for Sherwood, and move out a couple more to grab something in the 2nd and 3rd, this could be a killer draft year for the Canucks.....possibly the best ever.

Seems Demko could be done for the season. It's sad to read that and just not really care as I was pretty much expecting that. That means Frankie can now have the old man add some salary and try and salvage the season This was so predictable to me. He is making sure as best he can that he survives ...

Unsurprising.

If it weren’t for the Sabers, Columbus would be the Canucks of the US-based teams.

Damn.

Send them Sherwood now if they are asking.

Beyond an initial team on the ground for assessment purposes, if the Venezuelan government invites them.

They, and I'm sure other companies, want security guarantees as well.....presumably enforceable with US military strength if required.
