Nice, I'd put Welly on the 3rd line.. He's only 26 and still has potential for 50-60 pts a season..

Balsillie would of had a team a long time ago if he didn't try to go all rogue on them and force it.
He might have a lot of money but the guy seems like he has no respect for the process lol

Bettman is pretty much the guy standing in the way of Basille. He has a hard-on for "american" hockey.

Sure everyone would love another team in Canada, but there is a process to go about it. You can't just go bidding on teams that are already in a specific market (albeit a crappy one) and then move it just because. He could've bought the Pens or the Preds, or the Yotes if he just kept his mouth shut.
Instead he bids on a team and he doesn't even own yet, and publicly declares that he is moving them and is selling tickets already. It just doesn't sit well with me. Would've made more sense to bid, buy it and then do whatever you want with it. Instead of completing the first step which is ownership he wants to go straight to the finish line.

I hate him as much as the rest of you but Bettman had very little to do with that.

All's Wellwood for next season
Thursday, July 30, 2009 Quote:
Kyle Wellwood found his form in Vancouver after struggling in Toronto.
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER -- The Vancouver Canucks have re-signed centre Kyle Wellwood to a US$1.2-million, one-year contract following an arbitrator's decision Thursday.
Wellwood, 26, had a career-high 18 goals and nine assists in 74 games for the Canucks last season. He also had 10 power-play goals.
In 10 playoff games, he had one goal and five assists.
"It's very good to have Kyle playing for the franchise," said Laurence Gilman, the Canucks' assistant general manager."He came in, worked very hard, and contributed to our team, both in the regular season and the playoffs."
Wellwood earned $997,500 last season. He filed for arbitration after receiving a $1 million qualifying offer from the Canucks.
The Windsor, Ont., native was originally selected 134th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2001 draft.
Wellwood came to Vancouver after the Leafs did not resign him. He came to camp out of shape and, at one point, the Canucks placed him on waivers.
He rebounded with a good first half of the season, then struggled through a 21-game drought without scoring.

So many times Wellfeed gave me a heart attack last season. Hes to small, to weak to play. Plus he was a fat fuck from Toronto. I cant argue with the guys at work (they hate the Canucks) when they say "Might as well play Air Bud"? Ive seen dogs play better hockey than this asshole. We need a puck moving, non-glassy defenceman. PERIOD!!!!!!!

Summer signings/trade isn't over yet so relax over there before you get a heart attack.
