Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Depends on how this season goes and how badly Lucic wants to be here me thinks, but throw in the friendship between Benning and Lucic and the hometown thing, I think it's a very real possibility of him signing here and why not? He's got 3-4 years of prime hockey left in him. It's obvious the kind o...

Flyers Sign Voracek to an 8-year, $66M extension. $8.25M per. Wow. 11% of the cap on a player who had one great year, seems like a LOT of money to me. I dunno Zed. Voracek has been .89 PPG since coming to Philly. A bit lower than Getzlaf over the same period (.96), better than E.Staal (.82), and pr...

13m ago ANAHEIM DUCKS RYAN KESLER Kelser signs six-year extension with Ducks Ryan Kesler has signed a six-year contract extension with the Anaheim Ducks. The deal carries an average annual value of $6.875 million. Good. Kesler is still a beast, but that is a ridiculous term for a guy with major mil...

Wait a minute... Magic40 typed with a thick Slovakian accent? Funny, I never heard it that way whilst reading it I am telling you truth! You confused I think with Magic46??Magic46 eats the dick! Where'd the extra six come from???? Wait a minute....six.... Isn't he a long lost troll? I'm starting to...

Trading Bieksa: people shouldn't be so quick to assume he's tradeable. I could be wrong, but something about this guy tells me he will not waive his NTC, if he's asked. He stated in the past that "he's going down with the ship" and I can easily see him playing out his contract and signing elsewhere ...

Those are better term and $'s than Luca for a player two years older with comparable stats.

Wow...nice for Petry.

I guess we can forget about getting Cody Franson...if I was his agent, I'd be asking for the same money.

I find it interesting that 3 of the 4 goalies left are not your typical franchise type of players. This is one aspect of the modern game that surprises me. Nothing against Crawford but he's only an average type of 'tender and Bishop/Andersen have been letting in some cheese the last few games. Team...

The leaves are Canada's team in spite of what some may say. I want to be part of returning Canada's team to glory and have them take their rightful place once again I'd like to hear his in depth reasoning for that statement, and why Canada's team wouldn't be Montreal. Welcome to the microscope Mike...

Buffalo, to me, gets what they deserve. They lost the draft lottery, although they still get 2nd, now they lose out on Babcock. I love it when a tanking plan falls apart. Well, Eichel could turn out to be a heck of a player...almost as good as McDavid. And I don't think losing Babcock is a fail by ...

Great move by the leaves. Babcock brings credibility and should help in attracting talent. Good thing it's an 8 year deal...he's going to need all the time he can get before the leaves are competitive.

IMO Linden and Benning were afforded the greatest opportunity in recent Canucks' history to take their time and build properly. From fans, at least. Who knows what the pressures are from ownership, but it seems like ownership wants sell outs and home playoff dates above all else. I think a lot of f...

Yep. Kovalchuk's contract was nullified by his retirement (except the cap repercussions for the Devils of course). Regarding the previous discussion: Kovalchuk can return before he turns 35 (and comes of the "Voluntary Retired" list) either by having all 30 teams agree, or by sitting out of profess...

If TO retains $2M Kessel may be worth $6M on a better team and he can float all he wants but still score 30+ goals. Like Luongo you wont get a lot for him. Rumour has it that the NHL is in favour of triggering the 5% escalator next year. Could it be that the league is doing the leaves a favour by e...

NYI sign Boychuk

$42 million over 7 years as just reported on TSN 1040.

Wow...big money.
