Canucks are the frontrunners of neither.

So the people you favour: Luongo's asking price of $8 million, Jbo's $6.5, Sedins' $6 is not an overpayment? But all the other Big Name signings are?
Why don't you just concede and acknowledge that players of such calibre will always cost in the same area.

Yeah, just like we always do. Minor tweaks here and there so the team stays relatively the same and so are the results. It's not like the fans were asking for a major overhaul and a complete firesale. But they DID need a big change, a big difference.
