Although the moves Burke made after that were just as stupid. Giving Bertuzzi 4 mil, and Schneider 6 ?! The guys an idiot, and overrated.

The pace of the game is not the same where as 5-10 years ago. It is sad he left.. a point per game player... future hall of famer  i will miss you  | |

Then he broke his word, took a paycut and signed with Colorado because he thought he had a better chance there what with Selanne going there too. Glad that my boys won the Cup in '07 without that backstabbing goof.

I remembered reading that the Aquilini family has $3-5 billion of wealth. Far more than McCaw. Plus I'm sure there are plenty of wealthy buyers willing to buy the Canucks.
2010s is not 1990s, Vancouver is a much larger city. Our corporate support is much stronger than it was before.

True, during the NDP years, our economic environment was not suitable for much corporate growth.
