It's a "corset" he has to wear after Boychuk checked him into the boards in game 6 of the finals, that fractured his vertebrate

it's a brace to keep his back hyper extended to relieve the pressure. seems to be a less aggressive one than the one he had on initially after the injury.

I wished I had one of those maybe...
Would it fix my slouching issue?

it prob would... I had to wear one after surgery... pretty uncomfortable though

^I remember that video. he's gotta be gay which is fine but why did he have to do that on the air?

He must get off doing that stuff while on TV.

It's not about who the best player is...that's not how they order the lines. It's about what role the line plays and who has the best chemistry with who. Our 3rd line is a defensive checking line that plays against the opposing team's top players. They've got some speed and the ability to score the odd goal. That has Hansen's name all over it. Plus the Hansen-Malhotra-Torres 3rd line is one of the reasons the Canucks won the regular season.

Our 4th line is more out there to play physical, don't get scored on and let the Sedins rest. They don't get the defensive responsibility and are usually out against the other team's 3rd or 4th line.

lmfao. you see his eyebrows raise like crazy when he hears 'defenceman with a long stick'

LOL I didn't notice that.

When he says "you're an announcer with a long stick from time to time", what else could that mean besides something dirty!?!?!? How could he say that on TV unless there was a non-perverse meaning behind it.

Cross out another top 6 forward to play with Kes:

@SportsnetSpec: Caps sign Brooks Laich to a 6-year deal
Posted via RS Mobile

Damn I was kinda hoping we could have signed him...i wonder what the price was

Damn, Laich was one of the guys I was hoping Gillis would try to get here, great leader in the room and plays hard. Rumor is the deal is $27mil for 6 years, so a $4.5 mil cap hit, a bit much for Laich IMO, I was expecting somewhere around $3.5mil cap hit.


Kopecky also signed with Florida today, 4 year deal, no word on $ terms yet. Great bottom six player, but 4 years might be a bit long depending on $ terms.

Man this year's free agents are looking weak.

Let's just hope we have lots of trades to make up for it :fullofwin:

would u guys re-sign Torres?

looks like you are right and that is confirmed

4.5 mil a season

I would resign torres fo shizzle

in a heartbeat. he can be a game changer and his low salary is perfect for us

Thats if he's willing to take a low salary this year. I think he personally will since we gave me a tryout last year and we all know he wants to win a cup.

he made 1 mil last season so i dont think his salary will be that much higher. he deserves a couple hundread thousand dollar raise for his performance last season

Yes but he'll very likely be getting a raise. Canucks signed him as a 'nothing to lose' bargain that worked out well.

Reported that Dupuis re signed with pittsburgh for 2 years @ 1.5 million a season....comparable (last season) numbers with Laich

.

I would but no more than $1.5m. Preferrably $1.25m.

I would keep Alberts, Tanner Glass depending on price, but let Rypien go (too much baggage).

not sure about glass

he didnt do too much during playoffs
