I don't understand how a lot of these GM's plan on freeing up cap space, but still have players that will help contribute.

Edit: I'm sure these bandwagoners will be cheering for Darcy once he starts playing and actually fight unlike Ritchie, Izzy and Cowan (injures himself or get his ass kicked everytime). And if Sundin still play the same level as last yr but this time with someone to play with that can score, that will be great

I hope Gillis didn't spend all his time on the phone bartering with HOSSA and in doing so let all these other role player type guys slip through his fingers... that would suck even more than signing Hossa for huge money long-term (he's not worth it, he's not a winner no matter how skilled he is). | I'd say Hossa is about a 6.75 mill a year player. He's a good player and he's talented and I think he'd do well with the Sedins. As for a team player, well that's a different story because all he wants is the money. I wonder if he even wants to win a cup lol.

I'm pretty happy about the Darcy Hordichuk deal. Just heard his interview on the radio and he is hyped to come here. He just came back from training with Chuck Lidell. Well he didn't actually spar Chuck personally but he helped Darcy out. Not blockbuster signing but we do need a tough guy, a real one not Cowen. No offence to Cowen cause he sure tried but he wasn't the answer. Fawk but we really need some forwards!

Tough for the Canucks. They have nothing to offer anyone for trades except for Kesler and Edler, and if you trade one of those two you're making an even bigger hole than you had before. In terms of UFAs, face it, no one wants to come to Vancouver. Other teams around the league like Chicago are on the upswing which looks a lot better than Vancouver.
On another note, Mike Commodore, 5 years at 18.75 million? Geez I would love to see the cap go down and see all these managers screwed over.

The FA market is pretty slim so the value of most of the players has shot up and GM's know that it'll take big bucks to sign these players even if that means paying ridiculous amounts of money for players who don't deserve the money.

Yes it's alot of money but the heart he gives and the way he gets the crowd going it worth it. We need to be built big strong and fast. HEART is what will get us somewhere not signing someone for 10million or what ever.

but Avery is not a 5-5.5 mil player.
he is realistically a, 2 - 3.25 mil player.
but with the ridiculous signings, i wouldnt
be suprised if he gets more.
I would take Avery for 2mil or less.
and i hope GILLIS! will finally learn how to use a fkn PHONE!
