We played awesome. Just didn't win

Stanton makes our D look that much more stable

I'm ready to see Kassian get his first NHL hat trick in this one. go canucks go!

Come on don't be a clown.

LOL. Has there ever been any other core group of players in the history of this league that has been through more sh** than the one that has assembled for this team back in '07? man oh man.... this past week has definitely put the exclamation mark on that. Sedins Bieska Luongo Kesler It seems like these guys have seen it all.....

sad, but true. hahaha

Why? So he can go to the Roxy with his buddies after one of those embarrassing losses? That, is a recipe for disaster. Gillis and Torts want guys with character. Kane is nowhere close to fitting that bill. Yes, it would look extremely sexy having a guy with that caliber playing in the top-6/with the Sedins, yes, I get that, and I know that's why those in favour of bringing Kane over want him so bad, but Kane is one of those guys where when he gets frustrated he just melts like one of those toddlers who was only allowed to get one chocolate bar at the grocery store rather than two. He just gives up. Chevy said he is "shopping" Kane. There is a reason for that. Kane is one of the most rare types of players in this game. A fast powerforward with amazing scoring talent. There's a reason why he playing 2nd line duties on a "struggling" Jets team. While Ladd and Wheeler are working their asses off, and they are honest, hard working hockey players, Kane doesn't give a rat's ass. You can make the argument that Kane WANTS to come to play in Vancouver although there was been nil proof of him saying that, but with the way some games have gone down the crapper for us lately and in recent playoffs, and take into account how Torts deals with those showing no interest, things could take a turn for the worse, thus mortgaging our future/dismantling our D core sounds like a horrendous idea at his point. Overpaying for Kane is something I'd expect Sather to do, not Gillis.

And people, stop proposing we get Kane out of Winnipeg.... for lord sakes. There's a reason why the Jets organization wants him gone: his attitude. You don't simply put a guy who's lightning quick, big, and is a sniper on the trading block for no reason. They want him gone because he's a cancer. Why is this so hard for people to see?

It's Tanev they are going to move if they get O'Reilly. Mark my words. Tanev is my favourite d-man on this team and as much as it would suck to see him go, O'Reilly is one of the most underrated players in this league and I would not complain if he was brought over for a package that includes Tanev. Gillis already said that he's not interested in asking players with NTC's to waive them, so you can scratch Edler out of the equation. We have Edler, Hamhuis, Bieksa, Garrison and Stanton here already, with Corrado probably a year away from being a full time NHLer, Hutton playing exceptionally well at the NCAA level, and along with Cederholm, Subban, etc. D depth is the least of our problems right now, and these last two games have shown us that scoring has turned into a glaring issue. O'Reilly gets **** done at both ends of the ice. Torts would love him and so would everybody else if we could land him somehow.
