How come no one is bringing up the fact you are clearly holding a giant knife. And probably was about to kill

Well clearly you've never dropped a deuce on your bosses desk.
Much more gratifying than a yard whiz.

Just yell at them, they (frank) off pretty quick. I chased on out of my yard a couple weeks ago...I was trying to smack it on the ass as I chased it

This was a large black bear. He walked away as soon as he saw me, but i really don't want him coming around during the day because of the kids.

that player review from Penticton is back up http://canucksarmy.com/20...-three-finding-new-talent

Some of the highlights:

"The Canucks used this tournament very differently than the other three teams, and differently than they have in the past. Various AHL-experienced players still eligible for this tournament were left off the roster, and injury and illness carved the numbers down further. Ten invites seemed at first to just be filler, but my best guess is that Benning considered this past weekend an opportunity to add talent in yet another unorthodox way."

#76 Austin Lotz: An extremely impressive rookie camp for this invite somewhat tainted by a poor team showing in the final game. Canucks may have found a player here. Challenges vertically well, most noticeably on a tip midway through the first in which Lotz was right on top of the puck and gave no room for a chance. Good lead leg on lateral movement, which is efficient. Not very good on the second and third save scramble, and had way too many opportunities to show it against the Flames. The Canucks really broke down in their final game and it was hard to imagine what Lotz could do about it. Burned for 10 goals in two games, but faced 77 shots.

#64 Spencer Humphries: Spent last year in the KHL after turning down a Canucks try-out, Humphries returns with more to his game than expected when graduating out of Junior a year ago, though is already 22. He’s slated a shut-down guy, and he does have an active stick and is willing to make contact. Tracks his man well away from the puck. But he also managed the puck extremely well in game two, showing patience, but also vision in finding Shinkaruk back-door for the tying goal (credited to Corrado because this tournament is bizarre - it was Humphries I assure you). His outlets are crisp and well-timed. He supports up ice. Didn’t find him out of position, and had calm feet while defending. Carried Mackenzie Stewart in game against Jets. Paired with Cederholm against Calgary, the duo is listed as +1 when the team was -2 and I believe it. Played a physical game to end the tournament, but also managed opponent’s into less dangerous spaces consistently. Again managed the puck well and displayed some crisp escapes.

#43 Curtis Valk: Earned three separate notes for his defensive work against Jets, including two turnovers from his work managing the middle of the ice. Looked superb on the PK again in both games. Great support in the low-end of the defensive zone made life easier for his defencemen. At the same time, his offence is clearly what earns him attention. Scored the third goal against the Jets floating out from behind the net for a short-side bar-job, but made entry on the play with a shoulder shake while flattening the puck. As a future comp. we might put him somewhere along the Mark Acrobello to Tyler Ennis scale. Lots of attention on Vladimir Tkachev at this tournament. Valk is an invite also and clearly showed he deserves to be on some team’s 50-contract list.

Reading on twitter Johansen made CBJ a two year offer that they refused. He is not interested in long term contract now. I was looking at what is available for a trade for him.

Boston Phi Chi TB are all over the cap right now so adding a 6.5 mil contract won't happen unless some huge movement is don't.

Los Angeles Pittsburg NYR all have less than a million so again why do you clear salary when you are not sure the kid wants to play there.

MTL Det St.L all have about2 to 3 mil in space so something could be done if you knew he would play long term there.

I doubt being a BC Toby that he would want to play in TOronto. If his grandmother raised him properly. What self respecting BC boy would?

The teams I could see him choosing are Van Ana EDm Minny Fla and Col

He did buy a house out here and rumours are Gramma said it is his dream to be a Canuck

yeah, but next year's RFA salary starts at whatever he signs for this year. Maybe $7.5 isn't enough to pry him away (probably not). If you want to be successful with an offer sheet it has to be out there. RJ is a pretty safe bet to be better than any player the Canucks will draft in the first round in the next four seasons (if they are actually challenging for the playoffs).

Vantel mentioned earlier the list of teams that could realistically go for it is quite small
