Jgar to backcheck? bwahhah at this point..Juice>Hoff |
I think the best development for Hodgsen would be to throw him on Kes' line as a winger now and then but we know that's never going to happen. |
In Gillis we trust. I have faith he will find what we need! |
I agree. He has a good head on his shoulders and knows what's best for the team. I hope he scoops a few this offseason... piss a few more nuck haters off a bit :P. |
RS Hockey pool? |
Count me in! |
im down |
whoever made the yahoo one last year has all the settings for scoring etc. |
I bet you guys Jagr will end up with the Pens. |

My bet is Jagr stays in the KHL just like how he :troll: 'd Edmonton that he was gonna sign with them last year :lol |
Vancouver Canucks defenceman Dan Hamhuis will have surgery early next week and may not be ready for the start of training camp, while fellow blueliner Christian Ehrhoff will avoid going under the knife. Hamhuis left Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final early in the second period following a hip check from Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic. It was later discovered that Hamhuis suffered a sports hernia, groin and lower abdomen injury. It is not known exactly what surgical procedure will be required until doctors can have a closer look at the injury. Hamhuis missed 18 games during the regular season with two separate concussions. He appeared in 19 post-season games for the Canucks, recording one goal and five assists and averaged 22:40 of ice time per game. Ehrhoff will not require surgery to repair a shoulder injury he suffered in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final against the San Jose Sharks, instead, he's been told to take two-to-three weeks of rest. The 28-year-old from Moers, Germany, was minus-13 with two goals and 10 assists in the playoffs. Hamhuis and Ehrhoff are believed to be just two of a long list of Canucks players who were playing through some sort of injury. There was speculation that Ryan Kesler and Henrik Sedin played hurt, but the team wouldn't confirm their injuries. Defenceman Alex Edler acknowledged he was playing Game 7 with a pair of broken fingers, while forward Chris Higgins reportedly played with a broken foot suffered in the second round. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=369245 |
I think Jagr burned too many bridges in Pittsburgh. I say Detroit because they're the best team out of Pittsburgh, Montreal, NY Rangers - the teams he's rumored to talk to. |
Jagr? for real? |
Trade lu, keep cory more cap space |

Remember bieksa's last contract? He had one good year before he was signed to a big contract. After the signing he was either injured or played like shit - it would be risky to sign him to big money imo. If he re-signs at his current salary I'll be happy. |
Making an important point from the old thread here. I'll quote for context. Quote:
But we can't give up on Lu at this point. No matter what, he's a top 3 NHL goaltender and they're not exactly growing on trees. Sure, we might've won if we had Tim Thomas in net instead but he is also a Vezina candidate. All things considered, we could've won with 3 goalies of the 30 starters in the league. Lu got us to game 7...we might've fallen shorter with someone else in net. Look at Philly and tell me that team isn't as good as the Canucks...but they had zilch for goaltending and got fucking swept. Luongo is an asset. There may be one or two that are better but we could do a whole lot worse. Do we really want to go through the goalie graveyard era again where it's a revolving door in goal? His contract gets better as the years go by as he makes less and less each year. Right now he is a $10m goaltender but when he becomes a $5m goaltender if his skills decline, we're only really paying him $5m under the cap. Aquaman doesn't give two fucks about the actual money. His contract REALLY tails off near the end of his career. If he is still awesome at 40, that's great. If not, then his contract makes him VERY tradeable. Why? Because of the New York Islanders, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators and other teams that spend the cap floor. In the last 3 years of Luongo's contract, he makes under $2m but still has a cap hit of $5.333m. Trust me, that is gold to people like the owners of cap floor teams. They only really pay $1-1.6m but they get a valuable contract that allows them to reach the league minimum. These teams are looking for older, servicable and experienced players that can push young prospects that are most likely on their teams. Look at Dwayne Roloson in NYI. Remember, Lu's contract has out clauses on both sides. His NTC is limited. This contract is the best thing for the franchise right now. Gillis and Gilman have shown us nothing but awesomeness since they've been here, fitting this awesome of a team under the salary cap. They got all our stars to managable contracts. Ask any GM in the league if they would take the Sedins, Kes or Burr's contracts. If you REALLY look at it, other than this year with the $10m bonus payday, Lu took a bit of a paycut from his previous contract. Ask any GM in the league if they would take Lu in a trade right now...even Boston would be interested. Those two are geniuses...every decision seems to be made out of logic and math. I won't doubt them now. Watch them work magic on the Juice and Hoff contracts and we will all bow down, screaming that we aren't worthy. I have to believe they're smarter than we are and have already thought this through more than I have. TL;DR: Lu's contract is awesome. You aren't looking at the big picture, dummy. |
we should have an actual hockey pool, meet up somewhere have like 20 people and draft 10 players or somthing i hate fantasy |
How is that different from doing it online other than the face-to-face interaction part that most people on the webernets are not going to want to do... |
Sedin(6.1M) - Sedin(6.1M) - Burrows(2.0M) Raymond(2.55M) - Kesler(5.0M) - Samuelsson(2.5M) Higgins(1.5M) - Malhotra(2.5M) - Hansen(1.0M) Torres(1.0M) - Lapierre(1.0M) - Glass(0.7M) Hamhuis(4.5M) - Bieksa(4.5M) Edler(3.25M) - Ehrhoff(4.5M) Salo(2.0M) - Rome(0.75M) Luongo(5.33M) Schneider(0.9M) That puts us at 57.7Million. Possibly make a trade during the deadline for a bonafide playoff performer. |
sedin sedin burrows gagne kesler jagr torres lahotra hansen higgsin lapierre oreo bieksa hamhuis weber jovo ehrhoff edler ballard scheoder (played with colin wilson to get gold for team usa U20)+ 1st round pick for weber rfa negotion rights :troll: |
No way Hoff takes $4.5. He scored 50 points. He had like 44 last year. He's 28, which is the verge of defensemen prime, which most hockey experts tell you is later than forward prime. He's almost completely injury free for his entire NHL career and has consistently been a solid all around defenseman that has no edge into the top end of blueline scoring. No way he takes a $1.4m raise. He'd get $6.5 on the open market easy. The best we should hope for is he takes $5-$5.5, |
