^ i think as a restricted free agent any team can offer you a contract but your previous team has the right to match any offer. if your previous team decides not to match the contract some other team has offered to you and you sign on with new team, your previous team is compensated with draft picks from your new team. for exmaple edmonton offered dustin penner (who was an RFA) 4 mill a year. anaheim didnt match the contract so they lost dustin penner to the oilers. BUT the oilers have to give a 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounder (i think) to the ducks as compensation....please correct me if im wrong

I think he'd take a reasonable discounted salary if he wants to stay.
I'm only basing this on the fact, that I've heard him speak HIGHLY of Vancouver,
on many seperate occasions, over the years.
OHLUND OR MITCHELL FOR CAPTAIN.
WHO WOULD YOU PICK?

yup..thats true. he declined to being the captain and the next candidate was nasland. thing was, nasland was kinda reluctant to take it, but he ended up doing it. anyone hear his interview after signing with NYR? he went on to say he was uncomfortable since AV took over and the team just didn't have enough talent. he was actually looking forward to coming back, but he never got a call, and then the rangers came calling. he honestly deserved more than that. what a way for gillis to bitchslap his former client.

ohlund will take a home town discount since hes been playing in vanocuver his whole nhl life... i think salo took a discount too since hes old and coming to his retirement
gillis is just an ass he should of atleast given a contract to nazzy at a discount of course
it would of been awesome to sign bert nazzy and mo for like 10 million for 3 players...now that would be a huge discount

For the Leaf fans, it would be like Fletcher coming in, and not offering sundin a deal....
naslund at 4mil with 50-60 points a season, is still very good..
Gillis should have went after the "ingredient(s)" to build a monsterous team,
and not spend his time searching for a monster to put on a team....

i'm actually very sad to see naslund go..whether or not he was producing, he was still the face of our team for many years. i don't think he's anywhere near past his prime, he just wasn't able to thrive in av's system. something funny i found while searching for naslund videos..the first link i came across had comments full of "fake" and "edited" but it looks pretty real to me. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kCZTzQg0cmk&feature=related | |

There's what a lot of you need.
The way I see it, there are still a lot of players out there, and us missing out on one superstar or another doesn't mean our team's eating with the dogs all of a sudden. Yes, it's disconcerting to see, but no, I won't panic if nothing's happened and the season's about to start.

Morrison and Bertuzzi won't get more than 3 each, so thats 10 right there. It would prob be closer to 9 in reality.

U know wat Gillis might have a plan in mind, give him alil credit. His recent signings havent been spectacular in some peoples minds but i say wait and see wat hes tryin to accomplish. I think he said that he wanted to win a cup here..... I dont really think his goal has changed. Give it alil time.

OHLUND OR MITCHELL FOR CAPTAIN.
WHO WOULD YOU PICK? | Mitchell. Ohlund is one of my favorite Canucks but he's not our captain. He plays with intensity sometimes but we need a guy that's a serious leader by example and vocally.

Did you guys hear the theory that the Leafs might've accidently signed the wrong D-man? LOL...because the press conference they gave exactly described Kurt Sauer...not Jeff Finger.
