according to the blogger on Hockeybuzz
shorthouse said Quote: |
As I’m writing this, John Shorthouse (Canuck’s play-by-play) is on the radio and he said: “Up until 24 hours ago I thought the chances of Sundin signing here were slim and none, but since then I have heard from 2 different people that I know and trust a great deal who say it is a distinct possibility.”

Looking good. Next season may end up being better than most expected. The younger players coming up are still the key, but a solid core of experienced players will help with that. I'm looking forward to the upcoming season. I bet Vineault is a happy camper. A great goalie, good backup, decent defense, now some scoring....... not bad. Just hoping the chemistry will be there.

We currently have 13 forwards signed so if Sundin comes here, someone will be gone one way or another, I think it will most likely be Cowan and his 725k

who says we have to get rid of a defencemen, just cause we are basically at max cap space doesnt mean we are over. Sure if someone goes down, we have to replace them. let a youngster take his place. Or we can trade a roster player.

if we are gonna trade a defensman it would likely be bieksa, likely suitors are tampa and buffalo one tampa poster on hockey futures offered jussi jokinen and a 1st for bieksa. thats not a bad return, if nothing at all we get a good shootout guy and another 1st in a deep 09 draft. the rob davison signing would ease the loss of bieksa's toughness on the back end aswell. davison also played upwards of 20 min a night while he was with the isles last year, though he wont see nearly that with the nucks unless we have the same injury problems as last year.
salo waiving his no trade clause would be a better situation for the canucks though, because despite getting a major raise to 3.75 mil bieksa's contract should be seen as a major bargain considering jeff finger is gettin around the same.

even though im not a big bieksa fan, i think id rather see Salo moved then him
I lost nearly all respect when i heard a couple different canucks say "Sami is scared of hurting somone with his shot"

but i guess ur right to a point.

its gonna be probably
Sedin - Sedin - Bernier
Demitra - Sundin - Raymond
Burrows - Kesler - Pyatt
Pettinger - Wellwood - Johnson/Hordichuk
putting Raymond on the 4th line wont help his development, and hes no checker. Putting Pyatt who can put a few pucks in the net doesnt belong on the 4th line.

Not much of a Sundin fan and I still think $10 mill is too much but I’ll admit our team will look pretty damn good if he signs. Our d-line is stacked, we have Lu between the pipes and we've got rid of the players who I thought were holding this team back offensively. Imo Gillis, as a first year GM, hasn't done too badly.

^ im kinda doubting wellwood will start the season on the 4th line, especially if we sign Sundin
but who knows, if he's in shitty shape he could make one hell of a 4th line player either way Quote:

He had quite a few minor streaks of groin injuries this past season, but I hope a new workout will fix that for him like it did for Gaborik.

you sure you want your $10mil guy playing on the second line? if anything, the twins should play second line, that way they don't have to face top pair dmen. Quote:
