i thikn JayBo turned down something like 7mil/year... so he'll want at least 6-7 and a cup contender team as well...
Would've loved to have him with the Canucks, but who knows maybe Bieksa and Raymond will start to play smarter

| Wouldn't call him a plug. He's still young and maturing.
If he could somehow put some muscle on it would really help him from getting bumped off the puck so much. Raymond's speed is electrifying!

I don't know all the reasons why Florida rejected the deal but I've heard a few. One big reason is like mentioned already is the Panthers are pretty decent this season and they're right in the mix of teams fighting to get into the playoffs so making a big trade that back fires sends the wrong message to the fans because I heard the ownership doesn't want to send a message to its fan base that they're giving away all there star players for nothing and that the team is serious about winning and not always thinking about next season.

If he doesn't let in anymore soft goals and can regain back to his form during his first season here, there's no reason why we can't make it all the way with where we currently stand. We'll fair very well against other teams if he can steal a game or 2 for us in every series including teams like DET or CAL.
That's ONLY if he can be the GOD that we all know he can. Quote:

I'm going to agree. Calgary seems too stacked now, if all their injured players return they are in top form. With the addition of Jokinen (who is in an entirely different league than brunnstrom) their forward depth will be amazing come playoff time (Iginla, Cammalleri, Jokinen, Langkow, Bertuzzi, Bourque... any of these 6 players can crack the top line on most teams). I'm going to gun for a 2nd round matchup between Cal and Van...

I'll satisfied if he can be a top 6, a franchise player will be highly unlikely.

Jaybo didn't re-sign with Florida because he has said he wants to play in a hockey market.

I'm not saying Bouwmeester isn't a good defenseman, he is, but IMO, he's not head and shoulders better than Bieksa at this point. He might be head and shoulders better than Bieksa in a year or two but just not right now.
As much as I would've liked Bouwmeester here, I'm glad Gillis didn't make that trade. There's probably no way we can sign Bouwmeester in the offseason anyways, he turned down 6m a year from the Panthers so I'm guessing he's seeking something near the 6.5 that Phaneuf and Jovo gets. 2 Sedins at possibly 6 each, Luongo at 6.75, Bouwmeester at 6.5, That's probably more than half the Canucks cap on 4 players (assuming the cap goes down to 50 or less). | Don't judge JayBo on his point totals. He is very effective defensively. Bieksa on the other hand..we've all seen his defensive lapses...But he does bring other intangibles like toughness which JayBO does lack. He plays like Lidstrom but currently lacks Lidstrom's point totals.

u dont think Gillis talks to players like Lu about moves to make?
guaranteed he consults the captain of the team on what he thinks the right move for the team is in terms of where they stand and what they gain to lose
im confident Lu will sign a new contract

well we can always pick up jaybo during the offseason
you gotta remember that we have bieksa locked down in contract, and consider his points total and his play, it was a good choice not to give him up
