Aside from Hamhuis, who is getting lots of attention, there is also Martin and Michalek available and both are great defensemen that fly under the radar. I expect the Canucks to also try for those two.

What about offensively? Do you think Gillis needs to look for a possible 2nd/3rd line player?

we need a gritty 3rd liner that can shut down as well
a player like that COWARD ANDREW LADD as described by R.Kesler is a perfect example of what we need to put us over the top

That's just a dumbass rumor just like all the Lecavalier to Montreal rumors.

then fill the rest of the 3rd/4th lines
So u have
Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Samuelson - Kesler - Raymond
------- - Hodgson - ------
------- - -------- - -------
fill in the blanks i guess, doesnt look all that bad considering spots that need to be filled, and obviously there are players still under contract that are slotted in there but anything could happen

I'm really not confident that Hodgson will make the team.
Is he a better player than the last training camp? Remember, he only played less than 20 games last season... Is his back really at 100%? Last year people thought he should make the team because he would be wasting his time in the OHL due to his age eligibility, but this year he can actually play in the AHL...
Knowing how cautious Gillis is, we will probably re-sign Wellwood or pickup another 3rd line center.

uhg..
yea because a 5.2 million dollar cap hit for a goalie that gets you 35+ wins a season, who the hell wants that?
better off paying Horcoff 6.3, he's a game changer.

Find me another goalie with 35+ wins a season in Luongo's cap hit? Nabakov? 6m. Miller? 6m. Kipper? 6m. Only MA Fluery and Brodeur are near Louie's salary.
So you know nothing about hockey so I suggest shutting the fuck up.
