That is not an overpayment for Ryan Kesler. What is your reasoning for calling it an overpayment?

Because whit that package (Leddy+TT+1st pick) you should get more permanent solution for the 2C position. For a two year rental player that just too much imo but that´s just me.

LOL....

Vancouver Canucks are very interested in Dave Bolland. Contact with his agent made. Is he the second line centre of the future?

@Teddier depending on the cap number, it's not that bad.

The 3rd overall pick wasn't nearly as highly touted as the 18th overall ? Don't you think this is all a result of the internet maybe?

He was 25 and not really a prospect anymore. Was in the NHL for 3 seasons already. Hard to compare the two..... He did have bad playoff games and wanted to get top player money. Red Wings were not going to pay him, hence the trade.

#777

Dude, Ian's source is freakin Hockeyy Insiderr. The guy knows nothing more than the average fan when it comes to rumours.

2 years is not a rental and how do you know he would only be here two years?

I can see the news story now: Nux training camp. One of the sisters helped off the ice after collision. Bolland says he's sorry but he had a 2010 playoff flashback and leveled the d0uche.

Saad is gonna be tired back checking all day for Spezza and Kane. Kesler is so much better on D. No comparison. Hoping the hockey gods step in and help Kesler find his way to the UC permanently.

Kesler price just too steep?

Kesler or Spezza

NOW CANT BE TRUE
right ??

Look for Kane and Toews to sign matching 8yr, 8.5 million per contracts with the #Chicago #Blackhawks on July 1st.
- mrpaulish

That would be a gift from the gods. I doubt they sign that low.

Maybe the Hawks are playing this card to pressure Vancouver?

At this point in time, your house on the line, what is your best guess as to what the Blackhawks end up coming away with?

I will not relax!

Good thing you're cute.

Uh Ya??? The fans got Gillis fired if you recall. Ownership is very concerned about public perception. I don't think the fans have the mindset you suggest. I live in Duncan Keith’s hometown, last summer he praised the Sedin's, the man is a class act. There are lots of Chicago fans in BC my friend; the 2011 mindset simply does not exist. Give Van what they want for Kes, you will forget about them after you win the cup next year!
- VanHockeyGuy

This has been the case, to my point, too much, a front office hamstrung by a fan base that way overvalues its players and player leadership.

In 2011, Canuck fans in here were talking Kevin Bieksa like he was Bobby Freaking Orr..

Aside from bollocksing up the Lu situation on his own, how could Gillis get fair value when, already over a barrel, Canuck fans expected Gretsky, Messier and Kurri in return?

2 years is not a rental and how do you know he would only be here two years?
- furso27

Well I don´t but strongly believe so. I could be wrong though, just like everyone who doubts Teräväinen here. I could consider trading Leddy+TT for Kesler and that´s it or Leddy+1st + prospect not named Teräväinen. Still would hate see TT go but maybe it´s because I´m Finnish or something?
