What do you guys expect though? Barring the Sundin saga last season, I cannot remember once ever in the history of the Canucks a time when they made headlines going after a big free agent or goal scoring threat.......... Bure was a draft choice that developed... who else have we ever had that was a natural goal scorer? Mogilny? That's it!

If you want big splashy deals and sexy contracts and snipers being brought in to right the ship... go to New York and become a Rangers fan... they do it every single season... however they are also horrible, horrible disappointments every single season too.

You know what other team never, ever makes big free agent splashes (save for Hossa)??? The Red Wings... I'd rather follow their model than the Rangers.
