1st

We need a top 6 forward, top 4 Dman to play with Edler, and a player like Moen

If we can acquire these type of players, I can see us having a good run...barring any injuries

edit- 1rd page

edit edit - spot for sale

u mean 2nd RRxtar :troll:

I think the big issue is with Detroit going after Sutter right now. I would like to see him on the east cost but I have a feeling they have a lock on him right now.

Hoping that Jensen can crack the line up!! or at least get his 9 games

In on 1st

Garrison a sure thing for the canucks :troll:

I'm actually kind of surprised, I thought the first thing someone would of said is about the slight title change but after the past year I think it was really needed. :thumbs:

Still choked about the Hodgson-Kassian trade.

In like a dirty shirt.......

hope we can get pahlsson to stay!

He said hes retiring now :(

In on 1.

I have a feeling Kassian will be a much better player this season. He'll have had a full offseason training regimen, Canucks style. He'll have training camp , pre-season games etc. to learn team tendencies... lets hope I'm right!

Joe Thornton + 2012 4th Round pick for Roberto Luongo + Rights to Mason Raymond


How many people would do that? Just a proposal my friend brought up and i thought the value is pretty even. They can then trade Niemi to Tampa Bay/Toronto

1 more year pahlsson!

In on 1.

OP, you forgot to list goalies on your roster sheet ;)

I didn't feel the need to, we know whats up with that :)
