Not sure if this has been posted yet, but.....

Dhiren Mahiban ✔ @dcmahiban
Hearing former #Leafs D Cody Franson deciding between Chicago, Edmonton, Vancouver and San Jose. Looking like a one-year deal for the UFA.


This guy has announced a few minor signings/PTO's before anyone else on twitter so this could be legit.


I think he goes to Edmonton or Chicago, but if he does sign here....

shortly after this was released, his agent said the Canucks haven't contacted him

The lottery doesn't reward mismanagement.

this is very true. Lots of mid pack teams placed very well in the lottery. Flyers for example bumping to 2oa

tell that to EDM

He will do anything for the hits. The Sedins could potentially be playing their final season in the NHL, does he think they would say "we plan on tanking our last year". Botchford truly is a disgrace to hockey media
- Codes1087

what else would you expect your team captain to say? If he said anything other than that he shouldnt be captain

he's going to be behind the 8-ball all year. This could be a write off year for him. typical canuck luck.
- storm88

very much so. It will be catch up for 3-4 months then see from there

Can't stand Vancouver sports media. They ask questions they already know the answers to, but get the answers the players have to say, and then write a dumbpoop article about how dumb the players must be for thinking that way.
- Codes1087

totally....which means essentially that there are way too many sports writers employed here with too few stories to write about

nice goal! especially for a primarily defensive Dman.
The larger ice gives him room with that large reach

double numbers...you know he'll be a superstar now

Doan is 40 years old, Sedins are currently 36. Doan did also get a 1 year deal after his big 4 year deal 20M+ dollar deal ended(he was coming off of a pretty solid season though). If I had to place a bet, I'd wager that that the Sedins will both sign for 1 more year.

The exact age of the 3 players wasnt my point.

I know, it was my counterpoint to your example. Pointing out a difference between the 2 situations.

And then posters come in here going "why are they contradicting themselves? FAWKING management? They're always saying two different things."

the level of over-analysis and freak out in here is like a Woody Allan movie.
- Brooks_Light

Getting a head start huh 😂😂

There were some great moments, sadly few and far between. For the older demographic which has been there since day one, it's just a little more painful.
- VanHockeyGuy

Yes & no.
1st owners went to jail lol
We had Kurtenbach leading the scoring race til injured.
The Fraser Gradin Smyl line was a hoot.
Pat Quinn turned us around setting up a hometown flavour.
'82 cup run was magical after the Williams/Butler for Vaive/Derlago trade.
Patrick Sundstrom with a 7pt game against the Pens.
'94 cup run was the best I've seen ever & great entertainment.
Bure was a great treat like nobody else
'11 fun yet frustrating.
Many Pres cups & Hank n Dank b2b titles

It's been a great time to be a Canucks fan the last 10 years. I don't care what happened when I wasn't born. People should suck it up for a few years and stop crying about everything. We will be competitive in a few years and win the cup by 2022

Agree but some memories r very poor lol
