That’s the last thing Juolevi needs. He needs a D partner with balls. Not a large beta B!tch

Tryamkin is a pillow-biter.

Kopitar looks to me like he may have checked out in LA. No way he is that bad the way he looked last night.
- LordHumungous

I think so too . Who would want him now

I doubt they are giving away any young players.

Kopitar was invisible last night. Brown Carter Kovy same and Doughty was quiet. That's a lot of money doing nothing.

LA is definitely not giving up prospects. Just made me sad that LA picked him.

Just another wing nut Russian.

No thanks.

Benning needs to find another gear in the savvy department. This would be a perfect year to pick up some picks like the Habs did last year or Buffalo. I have no faith in Jim when it comes to that.

He is having trouble staying on the KHL roster. I think we need to forget about the big guy.

I did went he went running back to mother Russia, crying like a spoiled child.

Yep agree.

If Luongo retires next year is the recapture penalty to Canucks 2.8 x 3 years or does the amount change every year.

I understand. I hoped for a better ending but it is what it is . Turns out he wasn't really that good anyways.

We just get rid of the Kesler/Burrows stigma and this sh!t happens. We just can't catch a fu**ckin break.

I've played Hockey over 40 years and have seen it all but never a biting incident. It's chicken sh!t and looks bad no matter what the circumstances.
- LordHumungous

1) you make your own stigmas. Canucks knew what they were getting.
2) if a motherfranker is going to fish hook me in a scrum then I'm taking a bite. Where is that line? What if he put his fingers somewhere else...

Granlund the first one to go. Sooner rather than later. After that Leipsic. Probably get at least a 3rd and 6th round pick for them.

He won't retire because he'd void his contract, I know he only makes around a million his last three years but he'll go on LTIR with an injury in my opinion.

I hope so . He gets 1.6 next year and 1 mil the following two .

He'll come to training camp, hips or groin or knee all wonky, go on ltir and then troll twitter for the rest of the year.

Who wanted to trade for Schneider?

0 wins 4 losses in 5 starts and a .865 sv% 4.08 GAA.

Yikes.

Yup, like that.

- manvanfan

I don't see any team trading a pick for Leipsic or Granlund .

Maybe next year Canucks start throwing out some trash.

Schaller is not looking good so far but you can bury him and it cost 900 k only.

On the positive side Virtanen looks like a very good signing.

And before last nights game, how were Markstrom's numbers over the past 5 starts?

The point was Schneider for Eriksson . At least Schneider could be bought out.

That was a very big part of the wanting Schneider.

No one wanted him straight up.

He'd be ok with Edler back.

Minivan likes to cherry pick stats. I believe Makita was pointing that out yesterday.
