Yeahno, Kopitar would've gotten injured, the jinx was on.Mondi wrote: A hypothetical line-up featuring Henrik (of 2009-2011), Kopitar, and Kesler would rival anything that any team has thrown out there in the last 15 years.
And how do you fit Kopitar's $6.8M salary under the cap?
STOP DREAMING AND WAKE UP TO MORE PLAUSIBLE SCENARIOS LIKE:
Canucks will get on a roll and win the Cup this year.
Thank you very much...

I'd let Richardson walk and try to sign Matthias + Dorsett to 3-year deals @ < $2M-per.Diehard1 wrote: If guys like Richardson and Matthias will accept 1 or 2 year deals then there's no reason not to sign them; I figure they will be looking for 3 to 4 year deals and that's a no go for me.

You can probably make the same argument about the Backes offer sheet, and that's a more recent event. Had St. Louis not matched it...Per wrote:If the Canucks had picked Kopitar, as we could have, would we have won the cup by now?
Every time I look out my window, same three dogs looking back at me.
Re: Canucks News and Notes
That offer sheet was kinda like Kesler's. I don't think there was ever a chance the Canucks would let Kesler walk nor would I expect the Blues to let Backes walk for that price.BurningBeard wrote:You can probably make the same argument about the Backes offer sheet, and that's a more recent event.

Re: Canucks News and Notes

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Ha Topper, good one
Still can't believe you don't dig Sturgill
Had blue Mtn Pinot noir reserve last night. Hogwash to your theories on the Okanagan not being the right climate for Pinot noir. That was nasty good Pinot noir my friend. Slaying beers and G&Ts tonight my friend
Where's Potatoe? The Eldorado?

Tanev suffering from concussion like symptoms, listed as day to day. Will not play tonight against Sharks. Corrado also out with and injury. Defence now looks like this:
Edler
Hamhuis
Clendening
Weber
Stanton
Sbisa
Hank on Kassian:
I compare him to Todd Bertuzzi when he was here, the size and the skill. But this is the NHL — it’s not an easy league. You have to be able to play against the best. You have to be able to play in your own end. You can’t turn the puck over in certain areas. It’s not junior. If you make a big mistake, it usually costs you a game.
I feel bad for him because there’s a lot of pressure on him to score and be a certain type of player. But he needs to feel like he can just be good, doesn’t need to be great. Just be good and make plays. But he’s going to have to start over and show everyone that he can play.
He can dangle and make plays. That’s when he’s at his best. But he needs to finish hits when they are there. He needs to make good plays. There’s a lot of different things that go into being a professional every day and being part of this. You have to show up and do the same things over and over. It can’t just be a game here, a game there.
We had the same problem when we were that age. It’s not easy.

You missed the part where he talked about He and Daniels 4th year NHL benching that never happened.

Mcintyre's article said it didn't happen.
