Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

But that blueline....

Didn't Benning just trade for Pouliot?

Ehlers re-ups for 7 years, $42M in Winnipeg. Pastrnak, Ehlers, Draistaitl....should be interesting for W. Nylander and Marner. Matthews gonna be in between Eichel and McDavid money. I'm so glad that's not a problem we need to deal with... :eh: The Canucks might have the same problem when Pettersson...

Perhaps it was a good idea to separate those two kids.

For crying out loud, Juolevi is only 19. He isn't even eligible to play in the AHL. Similar to power forwards, defensemen usually take longer to mature. A year with Salo and a year in the AHL will be good for Juolevi's development. Who is this directed at ? I am not down on Juolevi even though Elme...

Carcone scored both goals for the Canucks.

Apparently Kovalchuk was pressured by Putin to stay in Russia. Very important for Russia to win Gold in an election year. Apparently Devils didn't really want him back but couldn't work out a sign and trade. Teams not willing to give to much on cap or term. And trade return wasn't great. Next year ...

Calgary Flames‏@NHLFlames The #Flames have placed Lance Bouma and Ryan Murphy on unconditional waivers. Should the Canucks sign Lance Bouma to center the fourth line? A pretty gritty guy who scored 16 goals in 2014/15. Ok, it seems like the Canucks are interested. :mrgreen: Rick Dhaliwal‏ @Dhaliwal...

If JB can sign Hartnell to a cheap 1-yr contract, he might able to rejuvenate the Sedins (an old men line)

Blackhawks' Hossa won't play 2017-18 season

I assume that Hossa will not be retired in the next few years. He just will not play. Does Luongo have a similar medical problem?

The Canucks will have $14m cap space next year when the Sedins' contract expires.

The Canucks need to be very patient with Virtanen. The truth is that he is only 20 years old. Power forwards always take longer to develop.

I love Patrick ? I said he's a top 2 pick in a draft that is a bit weaker..... he's a centre which this team needs among other things and I would be fine with either him or Nico. Tanev is one of my favourite Canucks, Sutter plain sucks even if he could stay healthy and Jake is trending towards bein...

The Preds just put Ribeiro on waivers. With a $3.5m cap hit ($1.3 actual salary left and UFA after this season), should the Canucks put a claim on him and send Chaput back to Utica? Since the Canucks are fighting for a playoffs spot, Ribeiro at age 36 is still a lot better than Chaput. http://www.sp...
