We are getting old rapidly .I am ok with a two year deal 4.5 but not 6 or 7 that's nuts.

Exactly. Two years from now, paying them 7 mil combined and having 2-3 players on ELCs, and the cap going up, we will be able to sign a very good UFA. 1st line could be Hunter Kes Kas
2nd line Sedins UFA
3rd Higgins Bo Burrows/Hanson

Edit: and lack as the starter

I like Pork ham bacon but can not eat Lechon. You see the pig there with head and eyes and they carve away the side and eat like a lua. I always feel sorry for the pig as it lies there and someone cuts away part of them and eats it.

I feel like we owe it an apology

Would you eat less bacon if they drew eyes on it?

Have to agree 100% .I think this is the year Kes starts leading the team.

I don't eat a lot of bacon but yes I would not eat if it had eyes.

I am a sensitive guy except when it comes to handing out inflated contracts.

Rus silver (russian's riot)
Swe bronze (show the same emotion getting their metals as they would finishing 8th)

USA is going to be a very fast team with great goaltending on a big surface. If it was played in NA I would say Canada but it's not.

He will be given every opportunity under Torts, but if he gets hurt again 10-15 games in they have to move him, if they can.

Other than Suter their defence is not much better than Russia's.

Did you listen to his interview yesterday? He seems happy to have a coach like Torts and hoping people that don't wanna play all out or block shots get called out.

For the record, the Canucks are not currently in a position to let the Sedins walk. They're productive players, there's no one to replace that production in any way shape or form. For at least another three years

If they put up another PPG season, they're definitely worth between five and six million per year on a one year deal for 2014/15. They can use that money to buy bigger balls!

I agree, but if they want an extension before the season I'd offer them 4.5

That would be 3 more years of drafting 20 th with no playoff success. I guess after 41 what's another 3 years.

There will be a list of UFAs after this year that teams will be looking at twice . Not every upcoming UFA will extend with their cuurent club, so we really do not know who will be available at free agency. I would like to at least have the opportunity to see what is out there and maybe a change of direction, seeing the last two years have been a bit of a bust.

No I missed it, but I knew he would be happy, he played under Torts last Olympics. Remember the year Kes had after the Olympics, maybe we can get that every year under Torts. We can still dream.

Gillis would be wise to sign them to a one year $4.5 million dollar deal for 2014/15 right now!! See what happens after that.

Agreed. They are not greedy players. They don't nee 6 mil they need a cup to finish the legacy. Take a paycut and bring in assistance.
