Now don't you start with that! Man, that was painful to read... - bloatedmosquito
Completely agree. That wasn't one of the funner threads to follow. |

I haven't seen much of him, but I would assume not. Torres is a pretty special hitting talent, with his speed and explosive impacts. Bitz is probably just a big dude like Alberts with more edge, slightly better hand and skating. - micah555
MacT calls Bitz a good skater. I think thats the attraction. Size and mobility.
The Canucks keep bringing guys that hit but eventually they stop hitting here. I think the coaches put so much emphasis on coverage and skating that our hitters are reduced to one or two smart hits a game. I bet it wouldnt be any different for Bitz eventually.
I still beleive hey should have kept Torres this summer. The amount of turnovers he creates because of rubber necking opponants would be gobbled up by Cody who knows what to do with the puck. Unlike Malholtra last year.
I hope Gillis has several plans to toughen up this team in a few departments. He must...because this team is not as big and less physical than last season's. It would be a foolish step backwards....Gillis wouldnt make it easy on himself from here on in. It would be open season.

Yeah, Torres was great last year. And it's not like the money he got was more than he was worth. But I guess Gillis really likes bargains and we're right up against the cap as it is.
It is annoying to have one of the players you want back signed for more by a bankrupted league run franchise though. |

Rest easy, Ek has already confirmed in his blog yesterday that Gillis was on the case. It's a done deal. |

Oooh, right... forgot. I got it! Since we're looking for former Canucks, and since good ol' 16 is a fitness buff still, unretire him and give him a minimum wage contract for the rest of the season and we don't have to trade anyone. Hell, is Dave Babych or Harold Snepts still in town? |

Because of an"illness". Hopefully his infection hasn't come back. Pisses me off that we have to play a defensman at forward rather than calling up someone who deserves a game. Schroeder would have been a good choice to play on that 2nd line, especially against Detroit. |

Lots of suits in the house. Leafs assistant GM Nonis, Caps GM McPhee, Sharks GM Wilson and more scouts than usual as trade deadline nears.

Wilson????
I can't see the Canucks or Wings doing business with them. No way either of these three teams will be making trades with each other and you can add Chicago in there as well.
Is it possible that we see actually hockey trades instead of the usual buying/selling this year? |
