I am also curious as to why in the name of fuck we would want to pursue Grabovski.

Our center spot is pretty weak after the RK deal, Bolland will solidify it while we bring along our young centers.
Yeah, you gotta wonder if Bolland will be signed to, uh, "mentor" Horvat in how to be an effective third line centre in the NHL, or be the guy that takes his spot when Bo is traded to acquire the 2014 No. 1 overall Draft Pick. :mex:

'Why' for the decent german Grabo, decent two way game, decent points.
Is a creative playmaker and offensive forward. Has vastly improved the way in which he uses space and his linemates. Displays a feisty disposition, excellent skating skills, and a solid work ethic on most nights.
Prefer Bolland over him though.

:thumbs: :o

Hank isn't superman anymore, Kesler gone, we are gonna need a two-way type to hold the fort down while we bring along Horvat, Gaunce, Cassels and whoever else we may get this draft and trades.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

You want Grabovski or Bolland to bring along these youngsters?

If we sign centres and fill roster spots with second rate players where exactly do the kids play?

Lemme answer that for you - Utica or junior. Can't wait to see how Grabovski or Bolland bring along our prospects through correspondence!!

Let's keep in mind that Skyo was absolutely THRILLED at the prospect of a 38 year-old Daniel Sedin earning 7 million a season.

:lol:

Still my boy though Skyo.

With the salary cap trending upwards, 7M will be what many second liners makes in four years. Now could the Sedins' still play at a second line level in four years? I say there's an OK chance that will happen. :mex:

Daniel can't play at a second line level right now dude.

And 7 million is what a first-line winger who plays on the second line might make in four years.

Well, this is an important year for the Sedins to prove there doubters wrong. I think it had a lot to due with the shitty coaching. I mean they looked like 1st line star players for the first 15 games (albeit overused) where they were at around a PPG pace. Then it all went downhill from there. :mex:

Hank
Bolland
Reinhart/Horvat
Richardson

Develop SR for two seasons, Bolland slides down to 3rd line when the youngster is ready, in 4 years Hanks contract is finished just enough time for the youngsters to take over 100%.

We got no choice with the Sedin's, when they're both healthy they are a force LOL, but yes it is true.

So in 2 years from now you have an injury prone 3rd line C in Bolland making $5M for 5 more years...

:stupid:

Jamie McGiin
Brad Richards
Olli Jokinen
Vincent Lecavelier
Mason Raymond
Alex Kilorn
Carl Sodeberg
Ryan Garbutt

They all out scored former Art Ross winner Daniel Sedin last season.
None of said individuals played unter the Torts' "system" if you can call it that, however. :mex:

That's what he's rumoured to be asking for. And some stupid GM will give it to him.

If it was short term, then maybe. But he's injury prone and wants to get something long term for security!

That's why he should be on the do not touch list.
