Kaleta and Pommer are better PKers than Vanek.

If he can let Myers go back to who he was I would trade for him.... in a heartbeat... that is the only reason why.....

facts have no place here

I think Ott has been playing hurt the past few games. His minutes are down and he just doesnt seem to be taking the body as much as he was .
Anyone with any incite on this?

Have u noticed what a "playmaker" Vanek has become this year as well?
He has made some "Sedin-like" passes
I'm extremely impressed
He really has become a "complete" and "dominant" player

Between how Pommer stepped up as Captain last year (which I was kinda nervous about, I'll admit),
And Vanek this year...
I think those two have become the perfect duo to lead all these young guys we have coming up
They BOTH better get re-signed
This down will riot if we have another "Briere/Drury" episode w them

They need to lock up Vanek.Hogie and Pommer over the next few seasons.

now that you mention it he def hasnt hit as much the past few

Cody still has way more skill.

Skating is a skill. Cody struggles, Roy was a great skater. Roy and Hodgson might have similar careers numbers wise. Roy also did not have cement hands, Cody's are just exceptionally better

He was one of 5 players that didn't skate today. 2 of the 5 are "doubtful" for tomorrow's game. So it's a possibility. In case you missed the post earlier, the other 4 were Pommer, Hodgson, Ehrhoff and Hecht.

we were showcasing Hecht

vanek will be 30 and pommer 31

with a shrinking cap, would those 2 players take 3 year deals?

Cody uses his linemates more. It also looks like he has a higher hockey IQ than Roy does. He also seems to want it more than Roy. Those are the reasons he'll end up having a better career.

I see him trying to stir the pot but no one will bite.I question how long hes going to stay motivated here.

Would anyone here sniff Bieksa or Hamhuis in a trade with Vancouver??

with the shrinking cap and them having like 8 huge contracts on the books next season they need to shed something...

Not debating whether were better off with Roy. I like 19 much more, I just don't think this team is that much better without Roy, I think the real locker room cancer is Ruff

Very interesting. I guess we may know or speculate further by any possible call ups forth coming?

It's like the big bang theory (not the stupid tv show) There had to be a fact to create the fact that you cannot use facts here.... Make sense yet?

Good points.
