It was to capitalize on the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.

Holy shit. Lv has like 6 trades in the works. They're going to end up with like 7+ 1st rounders? Talk about building a team fast. Lol

IMO they have a sick jersey ... I'd rock one lol all aboard the wagon? :alone:

Can't say I'm a fan of this jersey.

kinda reminds me of the flying skate jersey but a little bit lighter

I like the home jersey

Well Anaheim sure as hell would rather give up a 1st round pick instead of letting them pick up Vatanen or Manson.

the logo and jersey reminds me too much of the Senators :lol

not a fan of the colorway either... shouldve been Black and white

I like the logo and its colours, but not the rest of the jersey. What would be really cool is if the players got to wear helmets like the one on the logo. Even if it's just for show on opening night festivities. I'm sure they'll have someone dressed up in full Knight armour at the games. Chainmail, lance, and all that cool medieval paraphernalia............ knight > orca.

so its said now that LV has about 8 trades in place right now for a total of 10 draft picks and by the sounds of things there are more to come on top of that. One of the big rumors as well is that LV is going to be trading up for the #2 pick that Philly has.

LV already past the Canucks in a rebuild

Rumoured side deal with FLA sounds pretty creative on McPhee's part:

Per Bob McKenzie

The logo's not bad at all. You can see the "V" in the helmet. Neat.



On the side note, our jersey looks like shit. They don't want to remove "VANCOUVER" because that costed them 1mill to "rebrand" back then. :lawl:

Our Canucks jersey is horrible! :fuckthatshit:

That Orca Bay whale needs to go! Cetacean ban! :mad:

How convenient that Hossa has a "skin condition" that will essentially wipe his $5.275 cap hit for the years to come.

He will likely never play again. Guy is 39 and will be missing all of next year and his contract runs to 2021. All magically off the books for Chicago.

10 deals now and they may flip and trade from whatever they have.

NHL should've thought this through and prevent them from flipping players.

Way to give all the power to LV.

I think the NHL wanted this so LV has the best possible chance to build a team that will compete, that being said this is an ultimate rebuild that any GM would love to do.

Agreed, I can understand negotiating draft picks to not pickup certain players off the unprotected list but they shouldn't be able to trade the players they take from existing teams for 1 year or even until halfway through the season which would curb a lot of the bullshit.

It's like going to the buffet and loading your plate with shit you have no intention of eating then heading outside and reselling it to other people outside the restaurant. You're only suppose to take what you're going to eat, the NHL fucked up.

some of the unconfirmed side deals ahead of tonight
fuckin eh...Vegas already years ahead of the Canucks

shieeeeee...

Vegas will NOT be taking Gaunce

looks like they'll be going for Sbisa or maybe even Dorsett

News1130 says sbisa was taken. Put other picks in spoiler incase ppl don't want to know yet

All "confirmed"by various tsn Sportsnet ppl

And since Hossa is likely on ltir for rest of his contract there's reports chi will be keeping krugee

Fuck they should be called the Las Vegas bandits instead

Said they would be shit. More important to go for lottery next year. They should get a 2c 1g and maybe some top 6 out of their 1st round picks this year though. Along with prospects/young players like tuch and theodore
