GUYS
Somebody school me on Grabner, I keep my tabs on the Canucks enough to know about him, and in my book I keep thinking he'll be like a Pavel type player (I really know very little about the Canucks minor league roster, I heard somewhere that he could be that type that's all). So what's with this guy? How come he hasn't even been given like a game here or there? Thanks....
p.s. didn't Fedor sign with some another team? Shit we better not hope he does well right lol.

Did Sundin, himself, even say he will announce anything in the month of August, or was that media report as well?

It's assumed he'd make an announcement before training camp anyways.

I read on wikipedia that in the 30s, there were 2 captains that were born in Russia and Scotland, but raised in Canada, who won the cup.

i'm willing to wait until training camp for Sundin, and if he doesnt sign then so be it and we'll move forward with what we have
dumping the sundin offer and going after other players would imo make Gillis look like he is scared and wants to please the fans, not put a quality product on the ice for years to come. | Quote:

drop the offer and pick up some fucking 3rd line losers to move into top line positions??
Woohoooooo.. more line shuffling and mediocrity!
If the offer is dropped, the only moves to be made to aquire legitamite talent are through trades, so it really doesnt matter if the offer is on the table or not.

the way i look at it is, we're in the perfect position to clean up some other team's mess by taking one of their players and offering very little in return in order for them to get below the max. we have $10M to spend whereas a team like philly has 4.5M to ditch, and a handfull of other teams have around 1.5-3M excess.
if we keep sundin's offer on the table while he's up in his room staring in the mirror with gillis waiting out in the driveway with the car running... all those teams with cap problems are going to find other suitors to take their (overpaid??) players to the dance.

I'm sure the Sundin offer is not "open" in the strictest sense. There is nothing happening on the trade side. If there was a legitimate trade presented to Gillis, I'm pretty sure the $10m Sundin offer would be withdrawn in a second.
The chances of Sundin coming here diminishes with every passing day (to almost nil at this point, IMO) and I'm sure Gilles knows that but he also has no real Plan B unless he can find a willing GM to trade with.

the_rickster, the thing u dont get is that, the offer is on the table but it hasnt been accepted. Its not going against our cap, and if tommorow we get a deal where we're getting a player like Drury, then we can obviously take it and the offer to Sundin would be taken off. If Gillis wanted, he would Offer Sundin 10Mil, Sakic 10Mil, Shanahan 3Mil, ect all at the same time, hes only really fucked if they all accept at the same time.

Chances of Sundin coming to Vancouver are getting slimmer by the day and quite honestly would you guys pay $10mil for an 'out of shape' 37 year old? I wouldn’t. Canucks fans should learn from the crap we put up with Forsberg.

If you're anxious for some hockey, Giants training camp is on now, and the first pre-season games will be held at their Ladner practice facility in less than two weeks!

Pity the peanut guy.
For the new generation of sports venues, sports just isn't enough. It's all about the "fan experience." So far, that's mostly meant better food, wider concourses, in-house brew pubs and humorous contests during breaks in the action. Extra amenities, like having food brought to you during the game, are generally reserved for the high rollers in the premium seats.
But now, two major league sports franchises, baseball's New York Mets and hockey's Vancouver Canucks, have signed deals with Nortel Networks (nyse: NT - news - people ) to upgrade their in-house voice and data systems, likely leading to instant concession stand ordering from all over the arena.
