Not exactly sure what sort of deal he could have in place for Luongo considering every team knows the cap is contracting next season and they basically have us over the barrel and can more than likely dictate any price they want for him...

Unless they are giving him away for next to nothing. If that is the case than they should have done that before or even in the middle of last season so this ridiculous soap opera didn't extend all through the year and into the playoffs like it did.

Ballard's second hip surgery prompted Florida to dump him and his salary ,if I read it correctly.

However, Keith may have eventually overcome that adversity successfully but within four months in a Canucks uni he suffered a fairly serious concussion.

To complicate matters Keith then had a serious MCL injury.

To make matters worse he suffered a back injury.

Then ,to sum it all up Keith suffered his second concussion here and that ended his season.

What happened to Keith Ballard is really unfortunate.He is an excellent d man that Vancouver tied up a lot of cash and two excellent prospects for.

He should have been the offensive D to compliment the corps but ended up being a medical and financial disaster for the franchise.

"If you take Cory as a #1 goaltender, he's at the prime of his career; our D is at their prime. We need to get younger." - Gillis

"We've tried offer sheets and trades at deadline. We're going to have to find a bold move." - Gillis

"The only player who we think might need surgery is Schroeder. He'll get a second opinion." - Gillis

To me it sounds like going the panic button under different words...

There is an argument about losing last year after the Boston disaster and losing to the Stanley cup champions, however the team got worse than the series against LA...

The Nuks got lower in standings and were not able to buy a win getting manhandled in 4 by the best possible matchup this year...

This press conference sounds much like the previous year and very disappointing to say the least...

I don't understand why the media doesn't ask some of these questions.

how about a question like...

"Do you have input in the lineup decisions or do you leave that up to the coaching staff?

or

"How do you feel about personnel decisions such as lineup decisions by the head coach? Are you usually in agreement or do you leave the on ice details to the coaching staff?"
