But I guess they're not as interesting or sensational?
Why? Because the Canucks don't need to make a big splash. They have two of the top point getters in the league. Only Tampa can say that too. They have amazing top end players...they just need a better supporting cast and maybe another top-6 to play with Kes.

Agreed. All the hype about the Canucks picking up some big name via trade or through FA is what it is-hype.
The Canucks have the ability to build through their farm be it forwards (Hodgson, Shirokov) or defense (Parent, Tanev). If anything, the Canucks just need to fill out their bottom 6, and even then they still have some players to resign if they so choose.
If anything, and Ronin is right, the only thing I can see the Canucks really splurging for is another top 6 forward.
