Not awesome, just better then a 7-8 d man on one of the worst teams in the league. You can make up how good your prospects are all you want. But the fact is that Franson couldn't crack the line up of one of the worst defensive teams in hockey. But everybody has an opinion, just some arent right too often. Right Burn

I have been talking about Franson. Maybe that's the mistake. I was gonna say, you should have charity started for your disease if you believe Franson could be a top 6 on 75% of the teams in the league, canucks included.

Franson is obviously a legit top 6, a quasi top 4 on some teams. But he's simply not going I displace anyone on our top 6 currently. Say what PI want about Ballard, he's just overpaid, and that's all people see. He's a solid Dman

Ballard was overpaid last year .By this years standards ,him and Luongo have bargain contracts. If we wait a year their contracts will fetch 2 first rounders each .

Some team offered Doan 30 Mil /4 years
Salo 3.75 /2 years
Parise 7.5 13 years
Suter 7.5 /13 years
Price 6.5/6 years
Wideman 5.2/5 years
Jokinen 4.5/2years
Hemskey 5 /2 yrs
Grabovski 5.5/5 years

Teams so desperate that they are willing to take on Hasek or an unproven Bernier over LU GMs are asses

Ridiculous these contracts. Ballard is still overpaid, he's hat no longer GROSSLY overpaid. The fact some Eastern team offered Doan 4 years at north of $30 mill is a joke. We'll see if he really wants to win, because I have a strong feeling that offer was from a team that's not close to being a Cup contender. Those are 4 guaranteed cap affected years. Brutal!

I figure if Grabovski gets 5.5 then Raymond should get 8 M per

If we traded Lu to Tor I would want the Marlies 2013 first instead . They are a better team.

Pass it to Bulis‏@passittobulis

True story: rather than showing the NHL deliver their proposal to the NHLPA, cameras had to cut away to avoid an R rating.



That can't be a good sign

I would like to see someone jump Bettman in the alley.

In the event of a lock out I think the Canucks should form a new league with the Ducks Flames Kings Oilers and Sharks and win 13 Alain Vigneault Cups and 63 years later invite a team from TOR to join the league. We can call it the World Hockey League.

This.

I realize what I posted earlier was the league's opening salvo, but even to meet them half way would be screwing the players. I sense, at the very least, a delay to the start of the season.

Most experts say the NHL wants a delay for financial reasons same as the NBA, but I have faith it will start on time. HNIC Ron McLean said he would be suprised if it was delayed by a strike. Who knows more than Ron McL. He is like a hockey God isn't he?

Hey Everybody, manners are important. Calling each other stupid morons will get you a ban. Talk hockey if you want, but be polite to each other.
