Burrows and Higgins should be gone even if we sign Rodin.It is not going to happen .
- VANTEL

I figure both r not bought out & sent to Utica.
If any team picks them up so what.
Either way i see no future for them here.

Signing Stamkos is a pipe-dream, if he said yes, well then you've got some secondary moves to make obviously. He'd need a winger to play with, which means you get rid of Sutter to free up space.

Pipe dream yes but where is a logical place he winds up?

Dank Hank Eriksson
Hansen Stamkos Sutter
Sven Bo Rodin
Gaunce Granlund Dorsett
Vey Etem

JV & JM to Utica

PP:
Stamkos Hank Dank

Sure then what about their RFA's then Hedman & Bishop?
Eg where is the cap space?

As I said earlier today, 17 teams have more cap space than the Nucks for next season, the top three choices are Tampa, Toronto of another team in the East.

TB has a ton of RFA's coming up.
Toronto is no contender or even close which makes us a better fit.
If he wants to go home thats something nobody can stop.
The other 15 cap teams r not contenders or closer than us either IMO.

Buffalo is in a good situation, the Islanders, Stars, Jets, Bruins, Flames, Avalanche all with more cap space and better younger teams than the Canucks.

This is hilarious

Just watched the big short. What a great movie.

This overused quick fix attitude is getting tedious & boring.
Its depth & quality being added smartly.
Using a Leafs comparison out of the blue boggles the mind.
We need good vets if others r gone.
Every year is a playoff push & nothing to do with the negative crowd of 1 n done.

Maybe ppl knocking vets moving on & replaced with UFA's oughta show us their idea of a line up of kids & undeveloped players that r left over.
- Nighthawk

No more boring than talking about signing Stamkos or offer sheeting players.

How can anyone say stamkos would only join a rebuilding team if it's his "hometown" team?
Do you have any proof to back this statement up, left coaster?

If not, that's just unsubstantiated opinion.

I like the idea of picking up useful players and sending the young guys down to develop in the ahl personally.

Jv jm should both be in the A. We should see what drouin would cost. If we can't draft Dubois we should trade the first round pick for him. Sign Eriksson and all of a sudden we've got two solid lines.

Then spend any space remaining on dman.

That was fantastic and a bit sad/scary that all this poope still plagues us. I watched Creed last night and it was much better than I was expecting

Of course it's an opinion knucklehead, this is an opinion board, very few facts exist here when talking about what "might" happen

Sharks vs Blues should be a good one tonight, I put money on the Sharks winning, first Stanley Cup finals appearance ever. Strictly an opinion kaptaan, I have no facts here either

How about Couture and Burns hey. Burns has 15 points in 12 games, seven of those on the PP. Couture providing secondary scoring and leading the playoffs in scoring.

I'd like to see Thornton and Marleau win a cup. Funny how there was all the talk of San Jose trying to get Thornton to waive his NTC, Marleau asking to be traded l now they're in the conference final

I'd like to see that too!

Free agents love signing 5 years deals and told to hit the road 6 month later

I would love to be a fly on the wall for that meeting

JB: Come play for us we will give you 10 mil per.

Stamkos : cool who are my wingers.

JB : Sven Baertschi and I don't know

Stamkos : Who the Phuck is he? Why can't I play with Daniel.

JB : he only plays with his brother.

Stamkos : click
- VANTEL

lol…exactly.

Stamkos won't comee here for 10 mil…it would take a commitment of 11-12 mil. Sure he's a bonafide 40 goal guy but is that contract what we want for the next 8 years? not sure. If we can get him at ten mil I say make the offer JB…any more than that we have to pass.

Creed was ok too. I am looking forward to Rocky 100

Creed was excellent. Big Short as you mentioned outstanding.

No desire to see any California team win the cup…don't care who the players are. I picked STL to go to the cup final in my pre-season picks and I'm sticking with it. Having said that however I did pick SJ to go to the final in my playoff bracket challenge…still alive in some fashion...
