Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

You know, somewhere in Florida a certain Finnish defenceman is probably enjoying a quiet smile over this turn of events.

Only if he significantly ups his daily alcohol intake.

From the NHL.com: Marchand left the game and didn't return after getting elbowed in the head by Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov with 4:49 left in the second period. He needed help off the ice from Andrew Ference and Jaromir Jagr and headed straight for the dressing room. Now normally I don't lik...

Just a question, can you buy out a player and then re-sign him to a lower contract? You take someone like Booth, who some people despise but management seems to still like, and buy him out almost with a new contract on the table. With the amount the guy makes off the buyout, depending on the new con...

Provided they make the playoffs, I wonder if Rutherford will have the same enthusiasm for Semin when the guy vanishes. I guess they don't have to worry about the slary cap floor...

Thanks, I guess we needed that. That pic never gets old.

I suggested a while ago that MG should try to trade Ballard straight up for Komisarek. With the leaves putting Komisarek on the waivers, the Canucks should put a claim on him and trade Ballard for a 2nd or 3rd round pick. There are still teams looking for a puck-rushing defenseman. ;) If het gets c...

Hockey Central @ noon is speculating that Kipper will be moved to Toronto for Scrivens/Reimer + 1st, and will sign a 2 year extension with the leaves ($5 million range). This is the rumour circulating now. That would be a good return for Calgary. It would certainly impact Luongo's trade value, one ...

Bye bye Bobby?

It is to wonder.

Kris Versteeg out for the season from the sounds of it. Florida is looking like a safe bet for the 1st overall pick. In that case I hope they do want Lou. They have alot of youth already, so there's s chance they will be interested in a veteran allstar goaltender..... Tallon is quickly running out ...

Weiss out for the season. So much for him as an option for the 2nd line. :? The bigger thing is if Florida was/is a shopper for Luongo, does this turn of events make them more or less of a buyer? At this point, you may as well mail in the season if you're Dale Tallon. Why trade for Luongo now? Even ...

Habs send Cole to Dallas for Ryder... The Flyers re-acquired Gagne for a 4th round pick The Habs re-acquired Ryder for Cole Hmm... the next news might be The Panthers re-acquired Luongo and Ballard for.... ;) That would stay on theme... :roll: Funny how these latest trades are what could be called ...

Flames looking to move Abbotsford to somewhere else. If they do IS that a good chance for the Canucks to move in? Aw Hells Ya! :drink: Last I heard there were rumblings that all was not totally fine between the Canucks and the Wolves in terms of player usage, etc. There are numerous benefits, and G...

Why more guys aren't wearing those kevlar socks is beyond me. I wager Bieksa swears by them nowadays. Speaking of whom, if Bieksa's injury is any barometer dpending on the severity, Karlsson could be a while in getting back to Norris form. A guy whose game is generated off his skating.... all I can ...
