Edler + Booth. ...if Edler waives NTC...

dirty... hope the guy deserved it :/

(fail)POST OF THE YEAR! That's sig worthy, but I wont do it. You're awful. You should feel awful.

Glad Buffalo is out east. Buffalo gm is a trading god. The Hodgson trade, and now this? The price is steep, but NYI gets much better, instantly. They are making a splash to become a playoff team. They are hoping to make the jump now, which is a move that Chicago made and Pittsburgh made. One that Edmonton never made. Good trade for both teams, but Buffalo wings it. NY could have gotten a lower-end prospect alongside Vanek. The most frightening thing is that Buffalo is going to have a legit shot at McDavid. Ehrhoff is even more likely on the block

Canuck prospects leading the team's scoring? Good stuff.

Cheaper by the Dozen

Cassels and Subban looking like steals. (This is not only based on their points. They looked very promising at the Canucks Training Camp right out of the draft)

booo...

How has Gaunce been doin' so far?

Neely?

hockeyfan87? ...shoulda stopped at 86...

Well, to put it into perspective a little more: We signed no-name Tanev as a UFA and developed him. He's done well, yes, but look at his games played. He deserves some form of a raise, but certainly not much. Short term, small raise. He can play a full season as #5 or 6 to show what he's worth before he starts asking too much. And on the other hand, we don't know if Gillis is simply being an idiot and offering a crap contract. Then, there's Mr. Third Party idiot agent, who is pulling out the stops from his buddies in Europe to stir up crap in the one media where he knows it will work: Vancouver. The whole thing is a circus, when I, as a fan, am just waiting for the season to start. In the big picture, Tanev is trivial compared to how the team gels with Tortorella -- which is what will define our success next season.

Gillis is probably offering an NTC and Tanev doesn't want it.

lol

Gillis is an idiot.

This and this, basically. Top 4? No. He's simply a young guy who is contributing and developing, rather than floating and declining. Someone we have developed since day 1 of his pro career. Will he be a top 4 one day? Possibly. At the rate he's going, probably. Keep him. It's more worthwhile than it is to A - Take a 2nd round pick; and/or B - Sign a UFA.

I was?

How much is he asking for?

FIRE MG if he loses Tanev

Rai?

WOOHOO! No more AV!

Very happy I was proven wrong by Garrison. I was right about one thing, tho: Garrison on the right side. Not Edler.

I was going to suggest Linden for coach, but this makes sense, too. ... maybe he can be both. Clearly AV and Gillis see this team completely differently and have no ability to communicate with one another.
