You lost me at Russian.

My heart belongs to one Russian.

Seeing as how we are on the Russian D talk I will say that Philadelphia made a good move in signing Medvedev. He was on my radar years ago.

Did any of you even look at my avatar?

I like Hamhuis and Tanev. Coming up I like Subban even though he is small. Hutton I am on the bubble about because I haven't seen to much of him. Cederholm not to into him as he needs to make big strides if he is gonna make the AHL let alone the NHL.

I think Cedarholm will be a stay home Dman that clears the front of the net.

He is brutally strong though.

He will put up 2 points a year but will be tough in front

Media needs crap to talk about and may as well pick on the Canucks as they enter the 'retool' or 'rebuild' whatever we want to call it.

Bottom line is that so far Benning has improved this team in two successive seasons and will give our youth a chance to get in the lineup. Starting with Bieksa and Kesler and now hopefully Edler Hamhuis and Burrows can see the writing on the wall soon.

Miller over Lack? Why not? Lack has shown that he will not be a starter here and Miller has shown that he can steal games for us...which Eddie didn't do much of at all and looked brutal in the PO's. MNGT wants a calming presence in the net and that is Miller...who gives a s**t that Lacks sv% was .08 better?

DMEN are at a commodity right now. I'm not a huge fan of the Sbisa contact either but we do have to retain SOME Dmen. Sbisa has shown signs of playing tough hockey and can skate the puck out of the zone himself if need be...he ain't gonna hurt us all that much.

Sutter fills a gaping hole we needed filled since Kesler. No he ain't as good as the dbag Kesler but that's just it...Sutter isn't a dbag and will be good in the room. Sutter's #s will improve 5/5 here with proper linemates Vrbata/Burrows/Sven as he was paired with crap wingers in PIT. He was doomed before he even started to fill Staals place in PIT as PIT was selling off depth. Sutter brings a 200' foot game and will play in the dirty areas where Bonino would rarely ever tread. Can win draws in the D zone has a great shot and can skate. He covers the ice where Bonino struggled mightily just to get up and down it. Like I said before Sutter/Horvat is a way better option up the middle than Bonino/Richardson....why can't most see that? No idea.

I just chatted with Sutter here Wednesday morning at my Arena as the CANPRO camps are running and he is here. He is so stoked about being out of PIT and being in VAN you have no idea. The fresh scenery is gonna bring good things IMO. And he is looking slick and fast out there...his shot may be as good as Bonino's...

Let the media and the pundits here bash the moves so far...I see improvement. And even if we are out of a PO spot by TDL at least the youth will be getting in which is kind of what everyone wanted no? I see youth coming in and NTC's going out over the next 2-3 seasons. Like Vantel said there are positive moves and negative and if MNGT wants this team in the playoffs while changing roster spots we are gonna need to deal with the ups/downs of said moves.

Well said!
* Wiser's clap*

It seems to me that at this point last year everyone was penciling Hunter into the lineup and Horvat was still part of a brutal trade. Now Hunter seems like a forgotten man. I have a feeling he may crack the roster mid-season.

What a difference a season makes.

After T. and missing the playoffs, people saw that changes needed to be made and who among the prospects could be slotted in. Shink sounds like he ended up having a pretty good year in Utica. and that may have been a better place for him to start.

We had Kenins come in and play some games and contribute.

Options are slowly presenting themselves, Hunter will likely get a call up or two if he continues developing.

And picking up Sven who has had his time to season in the ahl, looks ready to put up or shut up.

Can't wait for the regular season to start and look forward to all the camps and such before then.

Went to reply, instead it was a flag...sorry.

Reply, just because some graph master projects the worst tandem in the NHL doesn't make it so.

They are obviously a Canucks hater - just no empirical evidence to indicate how the Canucks would be SO much worse that any other team in the league. A useless graph.

They parked some of the schtick and you can now listen to real sports talk. By the time September roles around it will be unbearable again.

(It is nice when both morning show anchors aren't there to listen to... AM radio is messed up)

I was trying to figure out what is the intent of the article? To troll the fans?

Isn't this the same network that announced they will be broadcasting all of the Canucks regular season games?

Is it even worth it to tune in or should I watch Blue Jays content on their other channel?

As much as I would like better draft picks, I'm hoping Miller and Markstrom are really solid this year. I'd like Sutter to pot 25-30 goals, Sbisa and Weber to be top Dmen...the only reason is to shut up all the haters.

But I know what the team has in reality and if they just play with heart and determination every game I'll be happy.

Maybe I'll have a better chance buying a lotto max ticket for tonight...

I despise talk radio of all types, I find their audiences to be some of the lowest IQ people on the planet, serious mouth breathers and racists.
