As Do I. What I don't like much about Crawford is how if he doesn't like you, you don't get a chance like Johan Hedberg or Skudra.

He's really into sticking with Cloutier season after season i think we've given him more than enough of a chance in the playoff's.

He's choked or done worse every year.

Alex Auld will be the starter i hope soon. I would say start him this year but I am certain Clouts will be starting again though he isn't signed yet.

Hell yeah!!! I am sooo happy things worked out and Bertuzzi will be playing next season. My mom heard on the radio and called me up screaming and cheering. This coming season is gonna rock!

Did they re-sign Auld or was his contract not up?

[Miss T]

Oh ya! That's what i'm talking about!!! I got an email this morning about it!!! :)

Ya obviously we could use a sakic or a forsberg or *insert any star pl ayers* name but you think we can afford another 6-7 million A YEAR player. Well we can but basically as it stand morrison is part of the big 5. Who else u wanna include? Cloutier oh please.

big 5 means THE TOP LINE and JOVO AND OHLUND

I call it the big 4 and noMcteetherson

fukin rytez... hes back:D

[cheeseburger]

The sedin sisters signed today and dan clouteir is expected to sign tonight/tomorrow

Our team looks pretty much the same, we just need some good defensemen

[KenJi]

No we need one more good defensement shoulda got barret jackman.

and we need a good goalie though we could start using alex auld more and getting him ready to be the starter for the canucks but i doubt its gonna happen.

Crawford relies on clouts unless he gets injured. He relies on him way too much.

He still has a year under his contract.

[KenJi]

they better not sign cloutier for any more than a year this time.

I think he's more than had his fair share of chances in the playoff's and yet he's won a whole 1 series.

Hi, still need 2nd line scoring plz.

Richard Park = 3rd/4th line scoring.

[KenJi]

yea i know. I think brian burke put too much faith in the sedins.

i think paul kariya would have been a perfect fit

[Grapes]

He would've had to have signed for a lot less to play here.

But yeah, it would have been good to have him here. What we really need is a guy with size who can score, isn't afraid to pull the trigger, etc.. like a Bill Guerin type (but cheaper?!) .. someone who can play with the Sedins, make that line more of a threat both physically with his size and offensively with his finish. (complementing the infamous Sedin Cycle)
