Jkuzzi & you must be related lol

No dude I'm not on board trading Boeser for a larsson type dman lol

All I'm saying is that JB can hit like he did with Pearson and Leivo and get a RHD that can help out and a decent winger for Bo. Doesn't have to be top end UFA's

It's what we need at this point. Now I agree don't get too crazy but we can acquire a RHD and a winger for Bo and it doesn't need to be top 4 D or a top 6 winger. But it would be nice lol

You guys should listen to the Weisbrod interview. He said they have gone over 2,4,6 years projecting cap hits and salaries. They are on top of the cap.

He said they are getting an unusual amount of calls from other GMs asking us to utilize our cap space. We are looking very serious at the options that make sense and should be able to fix some holes .

He said we are well of the over payments of Free Agency and that is the last resort. if we can not fill needs in trading .

It was a very promising interview. His voice got excited when he talked about trading up.

He said it would need to be an insanely good deal for them to trade away the tenth but trading up is an option (high pitched) and we have been getting a lot of calls about trading down.

Another thing I like about the 2 year deal is we get the contract year effort sooner than later.

Edlers agent said they signed the deal at 3 AM this morning and hinted this might not be Edlers final deal with the Canucks

They need so much still. Upgrade all you like, but it’s years until sustained success. Two more players doesn’t put this group over the top...

So he’s the best piece of poop that signed a deal that year? Hurray for Benning.

You know what would be better than being the best of the looser crowd? Not being a looser.

I think Johnny Cash was my very first listen as a wee one. Always a big fan of the Clash (we saw them open for The Who in Seattle) and saw Joe Strummer playing with The Pogues twice.
This version needs a fat indica cone and a nice scotch to fully enjoy it.

I hope this doesn't happen to me with the Draft tomorrow.

I downloaded it for when I get home. Anything but TV is palatable while I go through fishing withdrawal.

He will have a bounce back year, playing more manageable minutes, and will be thought of as a good mentor for Woo, Joulevi, Rathbone, Utanen and the rest of the dynamite crew. Two years, $7.8m, that will be 7th Dman money in two years.

Have been told that it's possible Peter Chiarelli winds up joining #Canucks in some capacity.

This really can’t be a thing can it?

I think a new Starbucks opened 3 blocks away from GM Place and they need someone to do coffee runs.
