Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I was not a fan of Jason Garrison, glad he's gone. His shot was overrated, his skating was awful and didn't have an ounce of a mean streak in him. Country Club Garrison and his massive contract, bye bye. The reason I take Sbisa a thousand times over Garrison? He plays with an edge, which is what we...

My biggest worry is overachieving and being able to resign everyone next season. That Burrows contract really sucks. I don't see a problem re-signing everyone with the cap going up. Biggest raise will go to Tanev, who should get about $4m-per. If there's a problem next summer, trade off Hansen/Higg...

At this point of time, we don't need any more prospects as the last few years drafting have completely replenished our cupboards (maybe a trade of a forward prospect for an early 20s defensive prospect would be good though). With the Sedins showing us (so far) that they still got it, we need roster...

All conflicts of interest and joke LTIR aside, just the idea of having a dirty player like Pronger in the department of "player safety" is a joke. "Yeah - sure he stomped on the guy's ankle, but it isn't ' that ' broken - no suspension". Agree. This move smacks of nepotism. I don't know Pronger fro...

A nice little Canucks army article about our man Linden.

Mëds puts forth some logical arguments.

Arachnid responds like a petulant child.

I think that pretty much summarizes this "conversation". (I'm not even sure why you bothered Mëds)

It's not just a 2nd rounder. We gave up Garrison, Costello & a 7th for that pick. So we could have kept Garrison & Santorelli, or used the 2nd for another promising prospect (SKYO already mentioned one solid D). Plus on top of it, the 3 spot would have been a sweet opening for Horvat's development....

He better, he didn't come cheap for an unproven player. Yup, that is my thinking as well, as Vey didn't come cheap as we traded a 2nd rounder with a good dman avail with Roland McKeown. ...and we traded Garrison to get that pick & could have just signed Santorelli to hold the fort until Horvat was ...

As $lacker notes, how refreshing to see a PP that looks like a PP for the most part. It would still be nice to have Bert-like net presence but who knows what prospects may grow into that role. T

Methinks Matthias potentially could be that guy.

NHL Gamecenter is addictive. Makes me want to buy a couple more TVs.

I know it is early but they look 27 again.

Yeah they do... and our 3rd twin looks phenomenal.

Imagine if we had gotten Radim Vrbata (somehow) instead of David Booth..

Our top line on a 3 on 1 should be an automatic goal.
