he signed Hossa as a UFA. Another long ridiculous deal. He traded for Sharp. Still a shrewd move tho. I wouldn't call him overrated or underrated.

He tears teams down. Acquires picks. Loads up on top picks. Kinda what we wanted here. Never happen with Sedins still around tho.

Just a note:

What if Pitt didn't draft Staal 2nd overall in 2006? If they took Toews instead? Toes and Crosby together?

Who says that if Jordan didn't stay in Pitt they wouldn't have more cups by now?
They did win one together.

Did you cats notice last night when Messier handed Henrik the Clancy award - Hank followed by acknowledging all the previous captains in Canucks history - except Moose!! 3rd degree burn right there...

Cheers to the real King Henrik!

Oops stand to be corrected by Hossa but Chi also has 2 cups with him playing key roles in them. You may call that expensive but I think most of us would take a bad contract with a couple more years to go along with a couple of cups!

Don't really have a choice and this team does need at least one UFA forward.
- manvanfan

Two if they wanna be competitive! Doesn't have to be Lucic and Eriksson though, could be one of them and a lesser forward but can play top six.

We all understood what you meant. I was just being that annoying "alert listener."

I'd give Jeff Finger and Patrick White 15 year deals if it meant winning 1 Cup.

Malkin, Crosby & Toews in consecutive years

My votes for Boedker with the Sedins and Okposo to play with/mentor Virt/Bo/Boeser

That was my thought (two) if this team really wants to be in the thick of things this year. Yesterday I had said Eriksson and McGinn. a RW and a LW. Ladd and Brouwer. Brouwer and McGinn? If just one i'd like McGinn.
3rd line of McGinn-Sutter-Hansen next season would be awesome.

THE SYSTEM IS FLAWED!

No

Just sayin tallon isn't the genius people make him out to be ...you or I could have drafted Kane Toews
- Redmile247

I thought Tallon got pushed out in Chicago for creating a cap mess.

I'd love Eriksson here. But, say they sign 2 players (notable players). That really hurts us going into the expansion draft. I think we can really only afford 1.

- Brooks_Light

For some reason I just don't care for Okposo. I think Eriksson is the smartest move. Can play in any situation. I'd like to see Virtanen start the year in the AHL. Play top 6 minutes. PP. Score some goals, get confidence. Bring him up maybe around Xmas.

Going to be a lot of F's here, especially if Rodin turns out. I think Gaunce is good enough to be in our bottom 6. No shortage of 3rd or 4th liners here!

I really don't want a 6 year contract for a UFA. None.
- VANTEL

Especially for Lucic

Troy Stecher? Forgot about him. AHL u think?

In a few mock drafts I've seen lately, quite a few have Fabbro going at 20 to Arizona.

Personally, I'm with Vantel, but, if they do sign a UFA or two, I hope they're in their 20's not 30's.

I would still like to see Gaunce start the year in the AHL and hope he can improve his Offence just a bit more. 1 points in 22 games in the NHL last season.

On a side note....this rain is good for your hanging baskets Marwood

Let's see he traded for Hossa, Keith was a 2nd rounder, Shaw a 5th rounder, Patrick sharp 95th Overall, Brandon Saad 2nd round, Dave Bolland 2nd rounder.

Tallon has made Florida into the team they have through the same model by drafting some good players and trading for mentors along the way. He isn't over rated he's under rated"

I still think when you are gifted toews, Kane...everything becomes a lot easier ...you just need the balls to make moves ...so I'll give him that
