LTIR. This must mean Gillis wants both Ovie and Gaborik!

I am interested to see if Canucks do the same with the kid they just signed . I don't know how he is doing but he is a 6'6 center so maybe time on the Wolves and called up in the playoffs

Haven't heard much about how he's progressing in Chicago? Hopefully he adapts to the pro game quickly.

As long as they don't give up a first rounder for a mediocre third liner like Nashville did then I'm with you.

The guy is locked in at 3.25 for the next 3 years. Not enough offensive upside to add him to our roster.

Some interesting options posted. I like the thought of bringing in Boyd Gordon. Coyotes have to fall a little bit further before they start letting players go though I think. I'd love to see Hartnell in Vancouver. I would definitely sell on Alberts and Raymond as suggested but not higgins and Lappy. Both can be re-signed for not too much. Cap won't be a concern once Ballard and luongo are gone (maybe even Booth).

As to the subject of luongo, I've been talking about NYI for a long time and Nino Niederreiter. I just don't know if Luongo would go to the Island again, but he's dying to start and it puts him somewhat closer to his real home.

Get some deals done Gillis or this team goes nowhere.

So I played some poker yesterday, was up over $500 until this hand.


I had 7-7. Flop comes 10-6-6 rainbow. In 2nd position I put out a $35 bet. 2 callers. Turn comes 9. checked around. River a 7.

1st position bets $50, I think awhile before raising to $150, 3rd folds. 1st goes in the tank before going all in. I call, he shows me 6-6. Just like that lost all my profits.

How about Offsprings - you gotta keep them seperated with slightly different lyrics, more apropriate to hockey.

Oh I agree, I thought the guy I quoted meant adding a player similar to Gaustad. Gaustad has been overrated and overpaid for awhile now IMO.

Alberts is a good cheap big #6 or 7 . I think he has improved enough to be a depth guy. Better than a 4.2 m press box warmer.

Goc would be solid as a 3LC.

It's highly unlikely a trade would happen between the Canucks and Oilers. It's also unknown how badly the Oilers want to move him.

His injury history is a concern but no different than Mulhotra, Bieksa and Alberts.

I believe a player like Hemsky or another with a similar skill set and speed would really help the Canucks.

Yeah you would think you only had to be concerned with a straight . Even if someone had one 6 you had him beat. That hurts.

What about a three way deal, maybe other stuff to toss in but as a start.

Nucks - Nidoreitter, Mathias
NYI - Markstrom
Panthers - Lu, Nucks 1st
