Any predictions on the game tonight?

I'm guessing Detroit 4-3

See the Canucks with more hits but running around too much trying for some big checks.

Sounds like both teams will be happy to get new blood in this minor deal. I think the Canucks need Diaz presently more than Weise... no risk deal for us. If Diaz picks up his game and becomes reliable... all the better.

The thing that sucks is that he's pretty soft and undersized, but the fact that he has had the lowest goals against per 60 minutes played at even strength among all defensemen in Montreal in each of the last 2 seasons has to mean that he's doing something right. 41 points in 128 games is also a decent 28 points per 82 games played.

It really was a tough spot for Gillis. I completely understand what Fosco is saying about acquiring a good NHL ready player(s) for Edler, but there is a lot of potential in that package (good god I'm sounding like an Oilers fan )

It also make it's more interesting that with that pick the Wings selected Mantha.

Shinkuruk / Horvat / Mantha.

Well apparently Detroit said no because of that first if that makes you feel better.

idk about some of these prospects. Mantha has scored big in jrs, eh, big deal.
ive read hes more of a perimeter player. if thats true, he wont be very sucessful in the NHL, even with his size.

u guys think detroit is only allowing 2-3 goals?
uhh the defense is garbage.
this is why they tried to trade for Edler
he would help and put other players in their proper spots.

I figure about the same. They'll pot more than their average of one goal per game due to Tort's return but Detriot will come out ahead.

Yes, for now.

When Gillis acquires a NHL ready top 6 forward for Edler at the draft. All will be forgiven.

Mantha has the skill set of a natural goal scorer. Something the Canucks have lacked for a long time. I would be willing to roll the dice on him.

Sent you a PM to see if you're still interested in the pool.

Cheers. I haven't seen/received it yet. Maybe they need to put a fresh hamster on the wheel to get the site back to optimal levels.

Henrik is back actually so 3 goals might be possible, but still a challenge.

I believe it's going to be:

Daniel - Henrik - Burrows
Higgins - Kesler - Kassian
Booth - Schroeder - Hansen
Sestito - Dalpe - ???

Mantha's a goal scorer though, Wheeler gets a lot of assists.

canucks should trade for Weiss to replace Wiese its a very close name and he could rekindle his magic with Booth from florida

Has Archibald been called up yet or are we going with 3.5 lines?

Sorry I didn't realize Henrik was back. It has become pretty obvious that Daniel Sedin is shadow of his former self without his brother.
