greetingsfrombrazil Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If confirmed, that's a great sign for Tamba, and a terrible loss for the Canucks. Salo was the d-man who kept our defense together, the team sucked after he got that concussion. Wish him all the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wow 3.75 per Pricey And the Canucks need to get younger on D That being said, Salo was one of the best and classiest Canucks ever. Wish him nothing but the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starmie Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Eklund was right!@#??!#?! man this is really 2012.... it's happening guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lidstrom Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If you think about it...he's been our best, most consistent defenceman for the last decade. When was the last time you watched a game and you said "Damn Salo is having a horrible game" Best of luck Sammy, your services will not be forgotten.

NucksBruins Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Tampa loves overpaying our defencemen when they are past their prime I guess. 3.75 is too much for Sami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph. Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Well, he certainly deserves that money. Sami will always be a Canuck; one of my favourites. I hope he does well in TB, but I'm going to miss the hell out of him. Bring on Suter, Gillis! DO IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanev's Smirk Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Congrats on the cash Sami. I'm sad now. He was probably one of my favorite Canucks. Edit: The Canucks may be in trouble D wise. Sami held them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDLER.IS.BEAST Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 wtf was not expecting that, our last piece from the WCE days gone. He gave a lot to this franchise though, I feel bad that didn't retire a Canuck. At least he gets to re-unite with Ohlund though, wish him the best of luck with the rest of his career, hope he gets a cup before it's all set and done. Classy and respectable guy.

Spoosh Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Money talks, but man do I feel robbed now! We wouldn't have paid him that kinda money, but I really thought he was loyal to us and wanted to commit one more time and go all the way... Heartbreaking!

EternalCanuckFan Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 That's a lot for Salo but hey, the guy has taken a couple of discounts to play here already. I hope he does well in Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
