Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many waiver wire pickups a team can make?
- bloatedmosquito

As long as you do not have over 50 contracts there is no limit . I think the Leafs had about 20 playing on their roster 3 years ago

Any pick is value at this point. Vanek wieroch burmistrov for anything and i will be happy

This is why I'm surprised folks aren't more upset about the possibility of losing Gaunce on waivers. Losing Gaunce is no big deal but that's a poopty legacy for a first round pick.

Hr isnt the first and wont be the last if it happens though.

Why is Vet gifted spots okay but Kid gifted spots not okay?

Well you are assuming they will be gifted spots. What happened last year with Stecher? Given their recent history I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. Spots are open for competition

If we lose Gaunce we can just extend Danny to age 45

I don't think many spots are gifted. There will however be some real high compete levels at training camp this year which is good.

All hockey players have an ass, it doesn't matter what round they were drafted they all come with an ass.

So lets say if Goldobin comes in training camp and scores 7 goals he gets top line LW ?

He did score 4 goals in his last two games in Utica on a crappy team. We both know t

Top line LW is a gifted spot no matter what happens at camp


BTW Stecher was sent down after training camp last year even though he was better by a mile than Larssen. He had to wait for injuries

It always comes back to the Sedins with you I want them gone as well, one more year. Jokes aside, Daniel is still a better player than Goblin

Very true, but the Canucks aren't in a position to be trading (or throwing away) first round picks. If you don't want this rebuild to last ten years then a GM has to milk every ounce he can out of those first round picks.

First round picks don't always pan out but you hope a GM is savvy enough to get some value out of that pick.

Sedin Sedin Eriksson Gagner Vanek Sutter Bo Granlund Sven will all be given a spot no matter how they play at camp.

3 spots open

I was going to post something similar. The twins are definitely gifted time on first unit power play.

Like trading Jensen and a 6th for Etem? Or like trading away the 1st along with Bernier & Grabner for Ballard & Oreskovich and then letting Oreskovich walk and buying out Ballard, that kind of value?

I'm not sure I know what means.

All of Gaunce's goal have come off his ass.

New coach, let's give him a chance. Hopefully the Sedins aren't gifted anything

Yeah Canucks do not really believe in competition . They say the right things but their actions slap them n the face every time.

We still haven't begun the rebuild yet

vantel is almost reaching stalker-like infatuation.

There must be hotter twins out there that deserve the attention more.

He spent more games up there than he did on the ice, so I'd say ya.

It's impossible that Green is as bad as Willie
