Can we just agree that Vancouver is the best of the Canadian teams right now but still need a Cup. Toronto sucks and needs to get better and that Edmonton has some beauty prospects and should be a force in the future?

I think that's all pretty fair and accurate.

we can, but where is the fun in that.

I am not sold on that . Cue the Edmonton war.

Nuge is also 19...he is gonna get his size...His only true injury was a flukeish injury tripping over an ice shadow and going into the boards. Not too worried.

Has Ebs missed substantial time consistently? No

Hall just had a troublesome shoulder fixed, one that was problematic since Jr. He's will be fine since he has a pile of time to rehab it.

Gagner. Had a high ankle sprain last year in the pre season, it healed and he played the rest of the year. he had a fluke injury on his wrist the year before. Don't remember his injury from the year before, but it does not seem to have been a problem since.

All these small guys...where are the injuries that will hamper them through out their career?

I think Nuge will , Eberle not sure yet.

I have seen him take soem solid hits and give some good physical play also. He'll be fine. As I said, it was not the play of the opposition that hurt him last year, it was a spazmatic play...

ah more made up nonsense.

Bazak+Franson+percy= not losing a top 6 or top D?? or losing our #1 center a a top dman, but same difference.

dont give up on hockey, I'm sure you'll figure it out someday. - burn

I am not Jealous . I think the Oliers have drafted their Kane and Toews in Eberle and Hall . They haven't drafted their Byfuglien and Ladd for the bottom part ,but instead have drafted more first liners. .They only have two real good Dmen and suspect Gtending,I think they are still far away. Mind you, you do have 3xfirst lines . If the NHL ever goes back to the no holding no clutching you will do fine.

Well burn what do you think of this? Bozak the #1 center. I picture a monkey going back and forth between scratching his head and balls when I see something like this

Hey everybody, please be good. I'll be back later to read the thread, but if you've been naughty, you may get a time out.

I know every fanbase is guilty of wanting to get rid of their spare parts/bad contracts/scapegoats. But this whole Raymond, Ballard and a pick thing is getting downright comical
- qwijibo

Ballard would be in Montreal's top4...

Go have a few beers and forget about us

Though at least in that case, Halak and Ryder are at least good for something. Ballard and Raymond? Not so much...

Ballard would be in TO's top4...

They slag him because of press clippings

Kesler would be have to be involved for them to listen. A healthy Kesler.

When healthy, Kesler is better than Backes. STL would have to add more,

No thanks. You signed him to a ridiculous deal...you keep him.

They also slag him because he's on the Canucks, like they do to all Canucks players.

I'm slowly working my way from the beginning of this thread with my morning coffee (tried to sleep off a hangover). I'm guessing I'll be replying a few more times by the looks of things.

No we didn't . He was already under contract when we signed him . He has 3 more years of 4.2. Compared to Salos new deal and Widemans new deal that i a bargain. He would be a top 4 on the Oilers.

NOT A CHANCE!

If its such a bargain then keep him.
