Agent J.P Barry on @Sportsnet650 talking about Loui Erikssson. J,P says he talks to Jim Benning 2-3 times a week, "for a lot of hockey reasons, it might be better for Loui to play somewhere else." #Canucks

Sweet.
Hopefully it doesn't involve Lucic coming Back, rather have him rot in Utica.

Barry also says Myers and Gardiner on on Canucks radar but Canucks could make two trades next week and then that would erase that.

From the sounds of it, literally everyone is on their radar. The more important question is are they on any of the players radar?

Nothing. Though I may watch the SuperBowl if bored but no invested interest.

98 days until 2019 Rugby World Cup from Japan, 48 games over 43 days, that's what I'm waiting for.

Canada is 7500/1 to win
New Zealand 11/10

We know for sure, that 3 of 8 defensemen from last seasons opening night, won't be returning, DelZotto Pouliot and Gudbranson, the remaining 5 can all go as well.

Stetcher is a good 2nd pairing guy, not worth tossing away.

Luckily the decision makers know this. He and Tanev will be here. Someone new on the left if Edler isn't resolved, maybe even if he is. They are going to revamp but complete overhaul is silly talk. This kind of stuff takes time. Lookign forward to seeing if Woo or Juolevi can earn a spot though!

He's not a bad bottom pair guy at all. As long is the expectation stays there. Still need a few top4 guys though.

I think the start of the overhaul begins this year but will take 2-3 years to complete

Unlikely. "Boys, Crazy 'Ol Jim is picking up the tab for the girls and drinks on our private flight to the draft."

Since when is it tampering if an insider says this stuff? If it was, every GM would be getting fined daily.

I know we're done with basketball but this morning's headline caught my attention...

"Toronto Raptors president struck officer while trying to reach court after team won NBA title, authorities say"

Charges may be laid.

Can you imaging if the police tried to detain him during the championship celebration. That would have been awesome.

Race riot and international incident all wrapped into one.

Just because they're born in other countries and move here as small children doesn't mean they're not canadian our whole country is made up of immigrants.

Fun fact, Canada is tied with Argentina for the most male players in the top 25

- NorthNuck

lol I realise that. It's just funny how we attach the 'Canadian' Moniker to athletes that weren't born in this country (eg. Donovan Bailey, Ben Johnson, Lennox Lewis etc) because we can't produce top CDN-born athletes in a certain sport. Sure they might be Canadian citizens since they were small children...but doesn't technically mean they ARE 'Canadian'.
