volchenkov is somebody gillis should seriously consider about. Erhoff needs somebody to protect the back end for him to lead offensive rush up the ice.

Brendon Morrison was totally jacked when he heard he got traded here from the devils. For some players it's something they would love not something they'd steer clear of, it depends on the guy.

- You pay higher taxes here than in most other cities in the States

-We don't have the best nightlife, but it sure beats going to Minnesota, for example.
-We have a cool locker room?
-We're a "first class" organization?

And I'd rather get Hamhuis for about 3.5 - 4.0 or whatever and add someone like Holmstrom for 2.75m or 3 then add another big D somehow.

$2 million in Vancouver can get you a decent sized condo, while $2 million in the States can get you a pretty decent-sized house. And hockey players aren't stupid in that they know they aren't going to be playing hockey at their peak capacity for more than 5-10 years. Several hundred thousand dollars difference in taxes may not seem significant to you, but it can be if a player is smart and thinking about his life after hockey.

We have about $11M in Cap space left and we have about 9-11 UFA that we need to fill. At most we can sign is one $3-4 guy and have pluggers for the rest of the line up. Don't forget the RFAs that will expect a raise as well.
Which is why I'm not overly excited or optimistic about this team next year as it will be pretty much the same for the next couple of years.

We're definitely going to need to sign a good d-man to replace Willie. I hope we can re-sign SOB because he played well for us down the stretch and showed (during the last interview) that he likes it in Vancouver and really wants to stay.

I think ppl are forgetting that there's still trades possibility lol.
Here's a link for all the RFA/UFA this year. http://www.nhlnumbers.com/freeagents...none&type=none
Just saw that Marc Staal is an RFA. Can we trade Bieksa + something for him lol. Same for Coburn haha.
Good list and lots of possibilities.. can't wait for the off season now
