Canucksbiggestfan Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Averaging 20 minutes a game, I do NOT want Salo back. Yes, he has had a great career and I'm glad he's a Canuck, but I am going to be thoroughly disappointed if he's Edlers partner again logging 20 minutes a game. First Raymond, now Salo... The team needs to try some new players in these roles, not relying time and time again on the guys that haven't really added anything come playoff time (especially this past playoffs, where Salo DID start showing his age).

CB007 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I heard on TSN that Garrison will probably get 5 mil a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverStyle Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I would be glad to have Salo back, if he still has the cannon of a shot. If Gillis does offer Salo another contract, i hope Alain will reduce his ice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleednucksblue Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 It is free agent frenzy and almost every UFA gets overpaid. If Garrison had been UFA last year, he wouldn't have even been mentioned on CDC. The guy scores 16 goals and everyone wants him on the team. Prior to this past season, he never showed any signs of being a goal scoring defenceman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 sickkkkkkkkk I hope someone lays out Marchand in his honour. Sami was never the same this season after that cheapshot by that little weasel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank33 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 To everyone who doesn't want Salo back: Are you guys stupid? If we can get him at 2 million he would be a great 3rd pairing d-man. He's been one of our most steady defenseman for his whole career here and he played well again last year. You can always count on Salo to play a good defensive game.

Provost Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hopefully we still can get Garrison and Schultz, and then I guess Ballard will be gone even though I think he could be better next year. Hopefully we see something like this: Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Garrison Schultz - Salo Tanev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistuhMan Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I don't like the fact that our defensemen have offensive awareness over defensive awareness... Bieksa - half the time, we're not sure what's up with him Salo - though known for his slapshot, he's shown a bit of defensive awareness Edler - loves to jump up into the play and not get back in time Tanev - probably our most consistent defenseman, behind Hamhuis Hamhuis - not a bad word to say about him *Schultz - not 100% sure, but he looks like an offensive machine to me. *Garrison - how many goals has this kid scored this season? reminds me of Ballard *Ballard - bust, was known for his offensive ability Flame me if I'm incorrect.

bobopan Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 If he wants to come back cheap and fine with sitting in the press-box most of the time fine but really, were trying to improve the defense im just not sure where he fits in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Cool. But the guy kinda showed us last season that he can't play a full season. I wish he could play a full season instead of around half a season, but on the other hand a half season this season could very well be a full season. Y'know what i mean? I mean lockout. That's what i mean. Yeah. TOML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L'Orange Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 While I wouldn't mind this, the problem remains...who the !@#$ is going to clear the front of the net? We still need someone with size and nastiness imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
