i think they should have waited one year but whatever. i still cant believe their interested in that swede because if he doesnt deliver, look at all the other swedes on the team that havent done the job. more fuel for the fire

[Grapes]

If they think he's the 2nd coming of Forsberg then they'd better wrap him up.

Seems unlikely though.

[Carrie]

burke's got one year left on his contract.

[Grapes]

Look at Miss Hockey Knowledge over here

[rawb]

fuck nonis, fuck burke
they are good GMs, im not saying the firing was the right move, but if were cleaning house of Burkie Jr lets start fresh and not bring Burkie Sr back

the firing has roots all the way to last summer i suspect, though most people will blame it on the stretch

[mapleleaf4ever]

So next year... Canucks in the play-offs yes?

[rawb]

I'D BET THE CAPS FILTER ON IT l

[tiedye]

HOLY HIGH STAKES! TOO RICH FOR MY BLOOD! o

[Goodfellow]

Burke would never come back.. he got offered more money to go to Toronto but flat out said he wants to stay in Anaheim for good.

I just hope we don't sign nassy, for the love of god. he was checked out 2 years ago. free up cap room and get a goal scorer. if we don't sign a sniper and have 2 good lines, we'll pretty much never do fuck all.

[j3rk]

get rid of Ohlund along with nazzy. Ohlund is old NHL, too slow. We'd have a tonne of money to start making some real moves.

there has to be a cracked out comment in every thread like this... Even if Ohlund didn't have a no trade clause he was not the problem this year. Naslund is a free agent so he's gone, unless he decides to resign here.

My guess is that Tambellini will get promoted as GM. Also this is nearly a guarantee that Vigneault will get fired as a new GM usually wants to hire a new coach to work with. Honestly none of this really makes sense right now. What are they going to hire Mike Milllbury to GM and Jacques Martin to coach? Maybe they'll have a 90 year old Scotty Bowman come out of retirement or Pat Quinn?

and what do you mean by real moves? like signing who? have you looked at the crop of free agents this year? it's very short on any good talent.

[rawb]

resigning nazzy wouldn't be horrible, just as long as were talking 3 million range. this is possible.

[omega_image]

personally my off season signings would go as follows, however these may change depending on the playoffs (because these player's price tags are bound to go up): Ryan Malone, Sean Avery, Christian Huselius.

Of course Hossa would be on the list, however I see Pitts going pretty far and his FA price skyrocketing.

[Mangle]

Thanks gawd Nonis is gone. It needed to happen and I couldn't be happier that it did. We may actually have a chance of building a team instead of throwing bandaids around.
Nazzy would be nice for 2 mill. We simply cannot afford to pay his 6 mill for 50 points. Plus, for a captain, I sure didn't hear much from him (or the Sedins for that matter) in the last two weeks of the season. Linden is worth resigning for the 4th line, but we need someone who can lead by example.

Sean Avery... are you kidding? Having that racist dink on the team poisons the dressing room, and we already have leadership problems. That would guarantee missing the playoffs. Malone would be nice but we've already got a team full of second line players. Huselius is closer. We need a first line scorer or two as the highest priority, or one and a defenceman good for 50 points.

^you obviously don't know how great avery would make our team. get past the garbage, and look at the success he brings to the rangers. regardless, my "picks" weren't meant to be the saving grace of the vancouver canucks, more so the building blocks around the all star...... but who's available?

Willie Mitchell will be named captain, add a canadian all-star, and we're set.

[rawb]

Resign Linden? Naslund's worth below what we pay Salo, Mitchell and Ohlund?

Mangle gets 'Hockey Kook of the Month' award.

Linden did fine on the 4th line. He's worth more in practice than we'll ever know. At the very least, offer him a coaching position.
Mitchell is overpayed for 2 goals a year. Salo is a tragic injury case who barely earns his wage as such (if he was healthy all the time, he'd be a steal). Ohlund should go. Naslund is probably going to retire anyway, but we could sign Avery and Malone for the price we'd have to pay to resign him. Waaaaaaaay too many Swedes.

BTW, congrads on the lack of capital letters. Rawb for "most improved typer of the year."
