Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Two year deal. Not bad. I'd rather have him for two years than Sbisa for three at 3.6. Is there a player in the league we wouldnt rather have than Sbisa at that contract ? Other than David Clarkson there isn't a worse contract in the NHL than Luca Sbisa's. Andy macdonald, engelland, lecalvier, hems...

Stewart's cap hit is 1.7mil. Not really something I would consider "high." And certainly a more useful player than Prust not to mention cheaper. "Character" is the only issue I would see as a negative to that signing.

The Ducks have a pretty low internal cap that they have enforced, I would think this signing means they are going to have a lot of young players in their lineup in the coming years. Though they seem to have a good amount of talent in that area.

I'm sure management has a good explanation. I know Benning has been beating the "character" drum for some time now, and perhaps McNally doesn't fall under that category. Also as mentioned, Hutton and Subban both have better potential, (with less baggage). This is what concerns me most about Benning...

One more win and on to round two, nice to see a winning environment - especially against a relatively veteran team in the Wolves. Mmm...winning...

Hey Aaron - I know it isn't the Coles Notes, but the presser is available on the Canuck's YouTube channel:

Cliche, definition of

For the past few weeks, we've been alternating wins/losses. .500 hockey isn't that exciting for sure but the media - especially the TSN1040 media - seem to think if we keep this up the only thing we have to look forward to is a top 10 draft pick this year. I think my glasses must be coloured similar...

Would like to see: Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata Burrows-Bonino-Vey Higgins-Horvat-Kassian Dorsett-Matthias-Hansen See if Vey can get that second line going offensivly at all, see if Higgins can play the two-way game for the "3A" line and maybe Kassian does his job and creates some space for Horvat to do a li...

I use a projector for a lot of the movie/sports watching as I prefer the picture (and love the 120" screen). Though I have a dedicated Theatre Room in my basement which helps. If you are using it in your living room w/ windows and perhaps don't want to mount it (ie: not a dedicated theatre room) I w...

The local sports media's latest "second half slide" story is only 3 days old and gaining momentum. Maybe it will shame/inspire the team for a better effort. Speaking of media, whats the story on Barry Macdonald,he was away for a long time,thought he'd been replaced by Moj I doubt the Vancouver medi...

Strange question - but how is it that the Leafs can put Nylander in the AHL with the Marlies? Something to do with the amount of "pro" games he played in Sweden? Or am I just missing something obvious here?

Color me Confused

The Sun mentioned his buyout, so he can return to Europe to play. At the bottom

I want to go home!

Someone needs to get in and get the puck on the forecheck on that line though...

Not to be picky or anything - considering your long and storied history contributing to this GDHTMB (and the other one ) - but the line-ups apparently have returned to their customary form. Vrbata w/ Twins etc.

As per Team 1040 morons talking heads.
