Without significantly weakening the defensive depth of this hockey team what can they give up besides Schneider who alone probably won't net much that will return the top line forwards we need?
I'd love to hear some of your hypothetical thoughts on what players we should bring in here and what we'd need to give to get them?
Edit: For the record I want to see this team succeed obviously. I hope they find a way to fill most the holes up front and put a competitive team on the ice. It also won't be fair to judge the team until Christmas so like everyone else I'm eagerly waiting to see what they do.

Well Gillis isn't about making friends or has friends on the team he doesn't want to get rid off so you know this team will look different come training camp. On a side note, I heard that Naslund has sold his home in Vancouver...I guess he's not returning to Vancouver if the rumor is true.

Yeah, I heard that Nazzy sold his Vancouver house too. Is he planning to go to another team or retire from NHL?

fuck the province and fuck those articles
realistically wtf does the public want him to do? Nonis was NOT 1 year off a complete plan, he was wayyyy off, and as gillis has said from the beggining, the canucks are still a long ways off from success, and success doesnt come from one draft..

the linden tribute brought back so many memories. that one shift vs. the north stars..damn. what heart and determination. i think its why the older generation of fans is always so critical about the later players. trevor set the bar TOO high!! no one has able to follow in his footsteps since.

If Selanne doesn't come back for one more year, Naslund would be the (almost) perfect stand in. They just better not give him Bertuzzi money, and lock up Corey Perry first. Also, if anyone's noticed, Nonis was hired by the Ducks for a management type position (they haven't been specific). My theory is that they're getting Nonis used to how Anaheim runs, then after next season, Burke leaves for Toronto and Nonis steps into his place.

i was reading sundays province, and i read an interesting article. although i can't seem to find it on the province website. seems like the canucks passed on the youngest staal brother and the guy who just lead his bchl team to a championship and was also the leading playoff points leader for Yann Sauve. thoughts on this? i didn't realize the youngest staal brother was already trying to make it into the nhl. thoughts on this guys?
