Leafs offering only 855k. This has bad blood written all over it. If he gets 2mill I am guessing the leafs will just walk away from the ruling. Can you still do that in todays NHL.

Fraser played good minutes for them. I'd give him probably 1.5 and 1.75 for a few years.

Didn't Rodin and Sweat sign in Sweden?
- Bieksa#3


Yeah I think Rodin is gone from the NA game for good. He's the perfect example of player who probably would have done very well here if the NHL had Hybrid or International sized rinks, but with the midget rinks his skill could never shine through and his body couldn't take the pounding.

Gallagher and a 2nd for Edler
- Bieksa#3


Regher 2 2nds
Bouwmeester 2 prospects and a 1st
Murray 2 2nds

Really don't think Gallagher and a 2nd is going to cut it. Going to need quite a bit more.

Didn't you propose Vancouver getting less? Eller and a 1st?

I think Ian is outdoing Ek in the hit's department, so he posts BS about the Canucks. I'm pretty sure I heard his agent say Luo will be at training camp.

And just to get the Hab fans hit's there will also be a d-man going to Montreal, so Edler for Max

Reimer's wife is from BC!

If you want maximum hits, you need to have a Toronto angle.

Any chance Gilles could get Bergeven to throw in Tinordi with Patches?

Yeah we were pining that trade possibility the other day when Ian brought it up. I would do that trade straight up. If we really wanted to haggle maybe Edler for Max + 3rd but I think the 2 players are fairly close in value already.

- Bieksa#3


I'd prefer Pacioretty. Gallagher is the one that got away though, a great talent on our doorstep (Giants) that the Canucks scouting staff seemed to miss entirely.

I'd love to get Galchynck (who I believe will be the best player from 2012 draft) but that will never happeni

Yeah that'll take even more than Edler. #1 centers don't grow on trees and are notoriously hard to trade for. MTL no doubt see him as their future #1.

A 1st round pick is better then a 2nd.

Eller 30 pts. Gallagher 28.
Eller 6'2. Gallagher 5'9
Eller third line center. Gallagher winger.

Wings already on team.
Daniel Sedin
Burrows
Booth
Hansen

Seller is also 3 yrs older. Will never be anything more then a weak 2nd liner

Agree...would like to see him in a canucks jersey.

I know we all like to rip Ek because of his stellar 0.001% success rate, but a trade for Galchenyuk or Pacioretty would work nicely for the canucks...depending what pieces are going the other way.

All-star defenders should net you more than a third line C and picks. If we're trading Edler we need to have a better player returning than Lars Eller.

So he's a good 3rd line center. Oh wait that position needs to be filled. You make a trade to fill a need not put a Calder finalist in the minors
