Carol Schram: Remembering the Canucks' Game 7s & looking ahead at some prospects As the anniversaries of the Canucks' 1994 and 2011 Stanley Cup Final losses arrive, a quick look back and a look forward at some of the team's prospects — with the hope that Development Camps return sooner rather than later.

Thanks Carol,

If Dougie Hamilton has character issues, hard pass. Too much of a gamble as you'll already be in a bidding war.

From the last blog. If Tyson Jost was available he'd be a good pickup.

Were you listening to Freidman on the Donnie show? Interesting things about players availability. Sounds like quite a bit of movement.

Was hoping Costmar was going to be in Abbotsford next season.

It is all about getting a bang for your buck, far to many players are being overpaid, for what they provide.

Thanks Carol!

Pearl Jam at Harpo’s in the early 90’s, Ben Harper and (I think) Arcade Fire at The Victoria Curling Club, Jamie Liddell at a little club in Calgary were some little guys who were about to make it big. Some other great acts were Sweatwater (from Seattle) - they were so cool. Album is called Superfriends, and I’ve seen Meat Puppets a few times who always put on a great show.

It is hard to gauge . A good deal today may be really bad in four years.

I see TOR fans trying to move Reilly and his contract has one year left with 5 mil only but they want to move him.

The landscape changes.

Ya, that is a tough contract to ship out. I have faith in Jim to get it done though.

Maybe they aren't overpaid and it's the going rate now a days.

on Pettersson and Hughes contracts : Petey will get done, could be looking at 3 years. They are grinding away, lots of optimism. On Hughes, it is more of a challenge, not same term as Pettersson.


Looking over the past 8 years of defensemen. Burns, Karlsson, Yandle, Barrie have all been paid their worth for playing offence and they have struggled defensively, now their contracts don't look so hot.

Now with Reilly being told to leave by Leafs fans. Shattenkirk being bought out by NYR.

Jake Gardiner barely even allowed to play anymore.

I have a feeling that Ruby is going to think that Hughes is going to be overpaid the moment he signs his contract.

Reuben thinks are a fair offer is around 4 million, but it depends on what Fitzgerald thinks is a fair contract( as I have mentioned before).

WOULD YOU deal #9 overall and Loui for Hamilton at 8X8 sign and trade?

Yes, no brainer. Market value for getting off Loui’s final year probably *is* the 9th OA pick anyway, so it’s getting Hamilton done for free.

Yikes, no thanks. That's almost as bad as trading Petey for Owen Power
