I was talking to O'Reily the other day. Said deal is basically done with A vs. Really seems to love it there
- Bieksa#3


You know him? Any way you can talk him into coming to Vancouver one day?

But seriously, Denver is a great city to live in and the Avs have great fans too. I can't see him leaving there for awhile.

Love watching people quote his twitter, a year ago he was posting here with an account named Paul Mara, and he is a hab fan.

No Problem

So you wouldn't offer sheet anyone?

Just curious why you don't like them?

- IanEsplen


They tend to be obscene contracts plus the 'f*ck you' aspect. They are contentious.

NYR are in on Nash Weber Jagr Richards Gaborik and on and on. They have their hand in on everything. So by offer sheeting them we either take away one of their young stars or we tie their hands for future stars available.

I don't believe his rumours , but I do think he is sometimes ahead of the MSM in breaking the news of signings.

I asked him to be a MOD on his new site. My asking price was fair . I asked for season tickets to the Canucks front row behind AV. He said he would get back to me.

The obscene one I don't like and that is why i say they deals should be reasonable ones, but as far as the "F*ck you" aspect, to me, that's just business.

I love offer sheets. Huge fan of them. If a GM doesn't have a player signed or extended before they hit RFA ,then they deserve to be OS .

So let me get this straight Canuck fans...

Edler, our best d-man, should settle and extend for Garrison money.

Then we should sign Carlson or Del Zotto for $6 million per (Even though both provide what we already have... D by committee... Neither are even close to being big minute legit #1's...).

I hope this madness is just a product of a slow & boring offseason.

Del Zotto was a (frank)ing mess in the Jersey series.

Is Edler worth 6 mil
Is wideman worth 5.2 mil
Are Weber Parise and Suter worth 100 mil
Is Doan worth 6.5 mil.
Is Salo worth 3.75

When we have to resign Edler at 6 mil I tell you I have other options I would like to take. He is not tough enough or consistent enough for that type of money.

I think there is a very small group of Canucks fans who think Edler will take 4.6, I personally would lock him up this summer for 5.25-5.75 over 7-8 years but that's just me.

I think Hammer is Vancouver's best D, but it is a different market right now, so I would have no problem paying Edler more than him.

None of them are but that is the 2012 price list .Better than Sauve or Connauton and the bail out price.

What's better than all of the above is going after E Kane or Benn and sticking with the D we already have. If you're going for D by committee, why overpay for the youngest unproven addition?

Edler has way to many brain farts to be 5.75 per for 7-8 years.
