NHL IS BACK! The Official 2012/2013 Canucks & NHL Thread

[kristianhay]

Huberdeau is definitely sick, it's just going to be a while until he's an impact player in the NHL. Needs to fill out.

Jason Botchford ‏@botchford
At least luongo won't have to worry about his NTC for a while, if Canucks asking for Bjugstad-plus-plus and Jake Gardiner-plus-plus

Gillis is asking too much if it's Bjugstad-plus-plus I think. Bjugstad-plus is reasonable.

[Harvey Specter]

Bure finally gets his dues.

[Not really racist!]

The only Staal I'd take for Kes is named Eric..

[JesseBlue]

i don't think there is an upgrade from kes to staal...i'd rather keep kes as we already saw what he can give...

if it was kes to zetts...then i'd think about it more...

as for the d-core of:
Hamhuis-Bieksa
Edler-Garrison
Tanev-Schultz

i don't think people are shaking their boots on this one...
if you can get garrison for less than hamhuis/bieksa...i'd be okay with that..any more then sorry...no thanks...

shane doan to test free agency… very interesting...

[cliffhanger33]

ya shane doan FA maybe

adater ‏@adater
Phoenix GM Don Maloney says Shane Doan will test free agent market. Potential teams will get good leader and officiating conspiracy buff


Roger Millions ‏@RogMillions
Shane Doan is an interesting UFA..would not be surprised if #Flames made a pitch now that he is testing Free Agency out.

[Hondaracer]

DWD

Dont Want Doan

[Vansterdam]

props to sakic and bure

[van19]

Allan Walsh ‏@walsha
PA Parenteau will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

Parenteau would be a great fit on our 2nd line feeding Kesler and Booth.

[cliffhanger33]

Kruegerr as new oilers coach? not bad

@TSNBobMcKenzie: Hearing EDM will announce its new coach as early as tomorrow and as has been speculated for weeks now, it's expected to be Ralph Kruegerr.

[pastarocket]

Do you think the Canucks should retire Bure's jersey?

I think management should seriously consider retiring no. 10 in the rafters of Rogers Arena. Pavel is one of the most exciting players in the Canucks history. -one of the NHL's most offensively skilled players who brought fans out of their seats. -drafted as a Canuck.

His days as a Canuck were his best years. Retire the Russian Rocket!

[Hondaracer]

There are enough players who didnt lead the franchise anywhere in the rafters as it is, it makes the Canucks look like a joke

LOL retiring smyl and linden... who are they? Management needs to put ego aside and retire bure... it will help generate income too.

kids 10 yrs later "who's pavel bure? brb youtube... OH SHIT HES MY FAVOURITE PLAYER OF ALL TIME AND I WASNT EVEN BORN YET"

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie

Some NHL teams believe Schultz is destined to end up with his home province Canucks. We should know more in next few days if not sooner.

[spideyv2]

July 1st couldn't come soon enough. If we sign Schultz and Garrison

Hamhuis-Bieksa
Edler-Schultz
Garrison-Tanev

too solid

[jeedee]

HE'S COMING HOME, HE'S COMING HOME

TELL THE WORLD HE'S COMING HOME

...don't let me down Schultz

[b0unce. [?]]

Personally I don't like Doan, however if he was willing to sign here for much cheaper, I'd be ok with that. I'm not down with paying him 4.5.

[RiceIntegraRS]

I actually do like Doan, he brings alot to the table. But he is on the decline and hes 35. So i would assume he would be commanding less than the 4.5Mil he was making in seasons past. But im pretty sure theres a team dumb enough to offer him more.
