I know - its crazy but hey, if we can sell Bieksa at the TDL for a 1st....

Is it worth holding on to a guy that much longer for what would likely be a mid to high 20's pick?

The money free'd up going into this year is worth more to me.

I think there are certain teams in this league who might trade for him just to demote him for the remainder of his career.

Trade him to Boston for Erickson. Boston saves 500k in caphit and gets the 3rd wheel for Marchant, Lucic line.
Then we put Erickson with the Sedins to score 25-30 goals and then sell him at TDL to the highest bidder.

I don't get why the canucks don't do this with a lot of players.

That's if he would actually go.

I'd be willing to eat a half his salary for the next two seasons so we can snag a better player from a cap strapped team.

because we are a bubble team. they would keep the player with the sedins to ensure playoff revenue, rather than sell high and risk missing. This is why i want vrbata/bieksa gone by draft day. If they have good seasons they will stay and play out their contract like matthias did. we literally have almost nothing to show for the luongo trade but 800k cap hit that will last until the league goes bankrupt.

Another possibility for Bieksa is BUF. They need to get to the cap floor and have a ton of youth at the back that use "mentoring." KB3 won't waive for BUF, and it's debatable whether his is the kind of mentoring you'd want to give your future D core, but BUF definitely have the picks to get something done.

Frankly all the b!tching and complaining about the course pissed me off. Gary Player can shove it.

Would you rather have it come down to the very last putt on the very last hole? Or have Rory Mccilroy run away with it by ten shots on hole 72?

Watching Professionals struggle was a delight for me.

Bring on more Chambers Bay!

It was interesting to watch, but the greens were crap.

Sure everyone has to play the same holes, but that was embarrassing as a representation of golf in the Pacific Northwest. The greens definitely looked like a municipal course.

On the other hand, municipal courses generally don't charge $275/round.

Agreed. They could have picked from so many different fantastic courses and they settled on this link-style fugly-green monstrosity?
