If there is a team softer than the Canucks in our division, it is the Oilers.

The Weise and Kassian plays are being looked at by the league. HF boards posters are up in arms about how Kassian high sticked Gagner on purpose. IMO he brutally missed the hit which threw him off balance causing him to wave his stick. If high stick supp. discipline cases are based on recklessness than it should be a fine/suspension, if it is based on intent like Keith on Carter last year then it should be no more than a fine. I don't give a crap about the Weise hit on Hall, Hall cut to the middle with his head down and he was crunched, it's not the first or last time that will happen to him.

Who on the Oilers can deliver retribution for anything? Brown went after Weise for the Hall hit and Weise beat him easily.

lol nothing will happen, all accidental.
However IF anything happens I hope it's Weise to get a fine or suspension, zero loss to us. haha

Hall plays like a lil bitch hah, dude is bound to get knocked bad eventually.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

I really think only the Ducks and Kings are tougher than Vancouver and Anaheim is questionable. The Sharks, Yotes, Flames and Coilers aren't tough teams whatsoever.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun
As reported elsewhere, one year, $1 M for Mason Raymond with leaves. Good deal for the leaves
Good for Raymond.

Guess they felt they needed someone who will stand up to Scott. :mrgreen:

Now someone PLEASE offer-sheet Franson! :thumbs:

I don't understand why they would sign Raymond and left Franson unsigned. It would be interesting if Franson is signed an offer sheet. Nonis will have no choice but trading Liles+ for cap space.

If Nonis can manage to sign Franson to a contract for less than $1.9m, yes, it might be a good deal.

At this point, the leaves are moving on from Franson. Nothing good is coming from this holdout from Franson.

He's a nice player, but no team will offer-sheet him. That almost never happens.

It's about what he's worth so "great" may be an overestimate of his value

He's looked very good in preseason. It would be silly to not sign him. He's a ice replacement for Macarthur.
