lol would be hilarious if this blows up in their face and the mediators rule in favour of the NHLPA and then NJD, Lamoriello and the NHL are stuck with this gigantic ridiculous contract.

Flames thread got Flamed. :rofl:

Great deal by Gillis. $2.6m is what Raymond should be paid. I expected a $3m deal but that would be borderline.

I imagine this deal is Gillis reasoning with Raymond, telling him that the Canucks would probably walk away from a $4m deal if they get a retarded arbitration deal and he'd end up in some shitty team like the Flames or something where he'd have to play with talentless, overpaid bums like Jokinen.

Raymond will still be a RFA at the end of this deal but I think he realizes that he's only been good for one season. This deal is a good raise and Gillis is probably telling him to play hard and if he puts up another two 50+ point seasons, then we can talk about $3.5+ when this deal is up.

Look at Kesler. Everyone was pissed when he got $1.9m for doing basically nothing...he takes a cheaper deal when that contract is up and proves he was worth it all along with his play. Now he's got $5m a year.

im happy about this signing ^^

me too...now i can say that grabner with the 1st (along with bernier)being traded was better that sending raymond that way...

at the end of the day it was the whole scope of the canucks organization that sold raymond and not just the money...

I just drove by Renfrew & Hasting.. looks like Canucks team store are opening a outlet store there :D They put up a banner outside of the store and looks like the place is under renovation right now

def gonna check it out once its open

shiet i live a few blocks away. Gotta drive by later and see was this where the plaza is beside Petro?

Winson 604 -yea its pretty close to your house. Across from petro gas

Shawn79 - I don't have further info as I just saw a banner outside of the store " canucks team store oulet " opening soon

Ecstatic Raymond signed a 2 year contract with that cap hit. I was expecting the worst and guessed he'd get at least 3.5+. Gillis is doing a great job with this team and I cannot wait for the season to start.

Great deal!

2.55 cap hit is awesome!

we're in a good position. :D

the bullets go both ways chum...dont be so ignorant :thumbsup:

^ cant you just crawl back in your own thread and stop trolling ours

Don't expect anything spectacular from this outlet store. It's going to be a place where they can sell items with lower price points and move older merchandise from the main store. Won't have anything good like jerseys.

anyone wanna confirm if the outlet has

and how much?

I wonder if they will have NOS Jan Bulis jerseys

Sweet thanks I'll keep my eye out.

orange7 - greenstoner said it looked like it's under renovation and isn't officially opened yet. We'll see!

:lol

its too fun pissing you off, all in good nature though...
too bad what i posted was 100% true and if the bullets go both ways..

fire back.. all you do is fail people you disagree with.

also, enlighten me if im ignorant / uneducated
inform me.... or is the best u can do probably jokinen

im the one who fails you when i disagree?!?!?....HAHAHAHAHAHA.....buddy look at all the trolls in your own thread...im the only one getting failed here...

people need to accept...i will NEVER leave this thread......FLAME JERSEY ON!

you prove ignorance to me so easily...you are unaware how much of a steal joki is at his current price....he falls well within the great price range for a 50 pt player...and everyone knows he is very capable of more....so before you uneducated hockey fans start hating on that deal...maybe you should look at the going rate for a player like that and educate yourself how salary works in the NHL for player rankings.

if 'canucks' fans like you(70% of this thread), were actually very knowledgeable on how deals work and contract prices in the NHL, I probably wouldnt harp on you. but when uneducated fools, start talking like they think they know hockey, it just makes you look foolish. I guess your okay with that though.

like i said, most the people in this thread are 16 years old...have never played hockey in their life and decided to start watching it so their fathers will love them, but still have no idea what boarding penalty is.

^ do you really think the majority of ppl in this thread are 16 years old?

I'd say more like 25-35

Rangers sign Alexander Frolov to 1 year- 3Million contract.

Pretty good deal if you ask me.. could turn out to be a bargain for them.

he says that to trivialize people's comments. fact of the matter is, orange7 was making a valid point (for once) and he immediately started being an asshole about it. tegra do you seriously think you don't deserve fails for that? all you fucking do is troll in this thread. and your threat (from your flames thread) was childish and retarded. you troll this thread every chance you get and you expected no one to troll your own thread? yeah that totally makes sense.

Tegra had his own Flames thread??

Where? I missed out...
