Ya I have to agree Lancer. No one really signed to day that I would have liked the deal. Either the cap is a little too rich or the term stinks. Some players who would be nice to see on the team but shaking my head at some of these deals.
Komisarek for 1 year at $750,000 would have been a nice depth pick up though but he didn't want to come west. Barbie as a back up would have been nice but as Donnie pointed out he will get more games in Edmonton.

Not that I'm an expert on the guy, but he seems like one of those "dog days of August" type of signing.[/quote]
I do not disagree, just wondering about the player. I’ve seen him play, but I can’t recall what he’s like other than he’s a 6/7th kind of a guy. An Alberts/O’Byrne 3rd pairing would be huge…let Corrado rip it up in Utica and be an injury call up.

You never know, AA may re-sign in Van (without a complaint from me) but failing that, O'Byrne may be a good insurance policy as 7th D.
I’m not sure I get your point….you’re upset the Canucks didn’t sign Horton for 7 freaking years or two goal Ryan Clowe for 5? I’m not sure exactly what big names we’re really missing out on here…

I was agreeing with Donny and saying that it feels odd not being in on some of the big names. Didn't say I thought the Canucks SHOULD be in on them, just that it has a different feel from other years.

Sorry for the lack of insight on my part…I have a freaking head cold in July, a shit ton of work to do that I don’t want to do and the Canucks have no god damn cap space…I agree it’s odd not being in on the action! Looks like we’ll be digging into the lost and found to round out our roster this time ‘round…
Hearing on the twat(ter) that the Canucks are talking to Blum.

All good.
Cleary would be a decent signing... hopefully for not more than 1.5mill.
