Squire Barnes ‏@sbarnesglobal

Pavel Bure hoping to help the Canucks out with visits to Childrens Hosp. and Canuck Place. Both sides trying to work out details.

Perhaps this is the start of a new relationship between Pavel and Vancouver that'll lead to a jersey retirement for Bure.

Bure should be the Russian scout for the Canucks

There aren't much Russian gems out there at a young age. Most of them are already well known by other scouts.

I think the Red Wings already own all potential gems from Russia. (Fedorov (DET),Kozlov(DET), Datsyuk (DET))

Most Russians that have nhl aspriations choose to play in the ohl nowadays. What most people don't know about red wings scouting is that they were also successful at looking in areas where no one else was looking (only Hakan saw Datsyuk). They do have a russian prospect getting some steam by the name of Marchenko.

Will tehy win the cup?

Canucks Trade Deadline History – A loving tribute | The Province

"2007
The Vancouver Canucks acquire defenseman Brent Sopel from the LA Kings for 2007 2nd rounder (Wayne Simmonds)"

:okay:

Sorry had to fail you since I didn't know about this until not and now I'm pissed off :okay:

Meh, it was for a pick that ended up as Wayne Simmonds. With the Canucks drafting it would've been a crapshoot, and looking at the players that went after Simmonds, it isn't likely Canucks would've even picked him at that point.

lol some gems in that article:

haha, Slegr's shot. Reminds me of one of the reasons SOB was traded away was also allegedly because he was dumb as bricks too. The team would be practicing deflections off point shots, and SOB would keep on blasting them chest and head high from the blueline. Don't imagine the forwards or goalies were too thrilled.

no source, just take my word for it.

Totally forgot we drafted Umberger and we got pretty much nothing in return.

He demanded a trade.

Not much you could do with that.

The game was pretty boring but seats were great. My son had an awesome time he really enjoyed his first game. The ref tossed him the game puck at the end of the second which made his night. He wanted to know if we could go to Thursday's game against Colorado.

Something he will never forget for the rest of his life. I'm happy for you it went so well even tho the game was a snooze fest.

Well if you sit me out for a year, I would demand a trade too.
