Kovalev with a pretty deft move and goal from behind the net. 3 point night. $1m for 1 season. But Gillis takes a flyer on Barker and Vendermeer instead.

The king of floaters.
Probably harmful in the room as well and yet has so much talent.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Kovalev at all.

Its 1 game. If the Canucks lose tonight does that mean we'll miss the playoffs?

Yes

Can't say I love the guy either but we all know his upside is considerably more than Barker or Vandermeer. Just sayin.

Agreed. Just depends on which Kovalev shows up. At 1 million, it's a low-risk/high-reward signing.

How do we know he even considered Vancouver??

Ahhh....went to the local pub and watch hockey, all is right in the world. (my world) Got a hug from the little waitress, my belly touched her before my hands did though?

I listened to Keenan say he wasnt not at all harmful in the room. He's is a floater no doubt... AV would have him on the 4rth and then in the press box in no time...

Did I even mention Vancouver?

Were you doing the "shwing" maneuver before she reached you?

Lucky it was only your belly not something else,otherwise you would be watching the game from prison.

We don't I guess but he was looking for contract, we could match $1m, and he'd have a far better chance to win than in FLO. My guess is Gillis didn't even kick the tires.

We've all seen him play enough....My bet is that he still has 3 pts after 10 games....the guy is horribly inconsistent - mad skill but......

The Canucks have been banged up pretty hard by the Ducks over the years. Lets hope they survive their opening game without an injury to Ebbett or Garrison.

Tarasenko...wow....

I think he's on to something with this.

I'm still a fan of Gillis—he's a wizard with contracts—but some of his decisions lately go against the message and style of play he was preaching when he got here.

Jokes aside that is the outcome I'm hoping for tonight. I don't wanna see a groin pull per game.

Tarasenko...wow....

Huberdeau is also having a blinding first game (3 points)

I think he's on to something with this.

What do you make of his comment that he doesnt see the Canucks carrying 9 dmen for very long?

Ballard trade maybe??? Barker waived?
