Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
You'd have to think with a new coach coming in that WPG stands pat for awhile and sees how things go under a new coach before trading away players like Kane (or Buff). Some things may change in WPG, especially if the coaches have similar assessments of the team and deficiencies, but I'm guessing that nothing major would be imminent...

Thats right. I suspect Kane will flourish under a new coach and will stay in WPG.Rede wrote:You'd have to think with a new coach coming in that WPG stands pat for awhile and sees how things go under a new coach before trading away players like Kane (or Buff).

I think it all depends on why he has been unhappy in Winnipeg. If he hates it there because he doesn't like living and playing in that city, then things are unlikely to improve for him. But chances are Cheveldayoff pulls a wait and see....okcanuck wrote:Thats right.

Would you be happy living and playing in Winterpeg? It's almost as bad as existing in Regina Saskatoon.Mëds wrote:I think it all depends on why he has been unhappy in Winnipeg.

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

That's the smart decision, see if the coach will help the team + they hope it helps Kane want to stay.Hockey Widow wrote:Noel fired in Winterpeg. dominos I say, dominos.
They moved Buff up front for a last ditch effort, if it doesn't work out he'll probably be dealt.
Buff, Wheeler, Seto, Stuart all probably will be dealt before Kane.
Except Evander will get them a heck of a lot in return to start a new foundation, instead of the mediocre players/picks they'll get in return for the aforementioned players.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
If they decide that the playoffs are not in the cards I can see them moving some older or soon to be UFA players at the deadline where they will get a king's ransom. Moving Evander can be done in the off season as teams try to retool once again. But it depends upon how badly Kane wants out. I doubt he quits on his team but he does want out of Winnipeg. That of course could change if the right moves are made, a new coach is to his liking and the future starts to look better.
Speaking of BC boys guess which one has been heard to say he regrets his decision to sign with Edmonton.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
It'll be interesting to see if Gary Lawless was far off from putting his finger on the problem with the Jets.. will the team look to change the dynamic by trading away one of the core vets either in the remainder of the season or (more likely) the offseason?
People are understandably gaga about Evander Kane but if the Jets decided it was time to move on from Andrew Ladd I would hope the Canucks at least kick the tires..

Hah, methinks Gretz and the boys will think twice next time Lowe asks for some outside persuasion.Hank wrote:Jason Labarbera?Hockey Widow wrote: Speaking of BC boys guess which one has been heard to say he regrets his decision to sign with Edmonton.

Lowe has to go, there is absolutely no excuse for the mismanagement talent over the past several years there.

Christ on a cross, NO! Keep him there in the name of all that's holy. I mean, watching the Oil fail is almost as much fun as watching the Canucks win. They can keep them Boys on the Bus over there.BladesofSteel wrote:Hah, methinks Gretz and the boys will think twice next time Lowe asks for some outside persuasion.Hank wrote:Jason Labarbera?Hockey Widow wrote: Speaking of BC boys guess which one has been heard to say he regrets his decision to sign with Edmonton.

Edmonton picked up Scrivens for a 3rd round pick. It might move the Oilers into 5th from last overall, but it doesn't fix their defense. But, does anyone else think that LA gave Scrivens away for pretty cheap???
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!
