Maybe Eddie Lack or Cannata replaces him in a couple yrs. Mike G has to maximize his assets. If he can get a top 6 for luongo then fine do it. I'm happy with either as long as the other brings a solid and fair return

Exactly . You can't have a high end assett sitting on the bench for half the games

Everyone ready for the media circus in a little over an hour.

They were shaking their heads over it at intermission of the Hawks game.

Weise-Lappy-Volpatti

Bieksa-Hamhuis
Garisson-Coburn
Tanev-Ballard(Corrado/Nikitan/Striet etc next season)
Pretty nice line up

Honestly I have no problem with it. Lu played awesome on Monday. Just like the skaters game to game the guy playing the best should play

Any truth to the rumors that p rocks favorite pass time just got traded to the Raptors?

He also won the Humana Challenge two weeks ago.

I agree with the policy ,but this elephant in the room is not that simple . Every move and every hiccup will be analyzed over and over. For the teams best interest and to fill the holes something has to happen soon

Im not sure we have a choice . We have a top 10 goalie with an unmovable contract . I think we may have to look at moving the other guy.

GM painted himself into a corner.
- VANTEL

Don't start buying into that. The contract is an obstacle, but it's not immovable.

I like it pick up Jenssen of waivers

With a stubborn GM it is as close to unmovable as one can get.

hopefully. The raps need a guy like Carlos Boozer.

Who do you take out, Volpatti? I mean so far Dale W has been better without question. Simmons adds another fighter

So any time a backup gets a shutout or allows 2 goals (and LOSES) he should get the next game?

This is the dumbest move AV has made this week, which isn't a shocker, cause he makes them all the time.

I guarantee he will be fired if the Canucks keep sputtering.

Lack and Cannata are great prospects to have for the future, but what happens if they trade Schneider and Lou says (frank) you to Gillis at the end of the season?

It would have to be an UNREAL deal to mitigate that risk.

Yeah I would switch in Volpatti and Janssen .You can't fight every night.

He is under contract .

If we had two AHL goalies as starters then we could finally appreciate what the Leafs go through

Your forgetting that Schneider hasn't established himself yet. I agree with you concept but its flawed in this particular situation

What if the sedins tell mike g to screw himself? Please don't argue like a jerk. There is a leaf blog where the majority of the fans do that, go there is you must

Schneider had a shutout agains the Ducks and look at all the giveaways by Garrison and Edler against SJ

Tonights game will be disappointing with Landeskog is out. Win or lose, it won't be as good. But we better win...

Vintage's idea is working

I'm not saying Schiender is at fault. I'm just saying there is logic in the decision.

All our dmen are playing like crap except for tanev
They better step it up before we are well behind a playoff spot especially in a shorten season

We agree on most things but not this one. Lu should have been traded months ago and Schneider should not have to be looking over his shoulder.

There is a reason coaches tell QBs that they are the starters so they can concentrate on sliding into the position.
