Mixed feelings on this. CDC was a great place to chat when we were on the same page or even open to healthy debate on all things Canucks. Yet when topics veered to non hockey controversial topics, I felt some on here displayed some abusive and personally targeted behaviour and comments. At the end of the day it was yet another example of people feeling brave in taking pot shots at people and their opinions while hiding anonymously in private behind a computer or device. I will really miss the trade posts and PGT. I spent many great hours revelling on wins with my fellow Canuckheads. Pretty disappointed that this seems to be an organizational decision but as I’ve said all along, these athletes are human and the vitriol and sometimes personal shots taken at these guys was oftentimes way over the top. News flash: millionaire hockey players use the internet. RIP CDC. It was a mixed bag. Peace out!!!

It was only a matter of time. Good bye.

I could see Mikheyev being LTIR option for cap reasons to start the season. Lots of hints out there that he’s not ready for camp at 100%.

Millsy once again walking the walk. Way to support Stech and show up for your team and adopted city. Love this guy. 3 young kids at home in West Van, still finds time. JT doubters eat their words a lot on this guy. My captain vote hands down.

This management group really has delivered on all of their promises.

Watch for Miller on the wing a bit more this year. I could see Nils Aman climbing up the line up this year. I don’t see management visualizing this addition as a demotion for him. More so an opportunity for him to push for a middle six spot.

Congrats Vasily and Sasha!

Phew… no thanks.

OEL has a bit of a temper. Had some good compete in him most nights. Look at me getting nostalgic. I suck.

Watching this just made me giddy!!!

Orlov to The 'Canes sure brings up questions about Pece's future there. This management group are quite stealth and a bit sneaky in their endeavours. Seems highly unlikely but that would be a huge exclamation mark for this group following through in its stated intentions.

I spent long stretches last season feeling terrible for crapping on our goaltending but seriously, after the sheen off statistical niceties for Spencer and Dehlia wore off it became obvious that our goalies were terrible last year. Dehlia out/Zach in. Hope the scouts are onto something.

Great insulator addition. Open to going to Abby if need be. Big body. Low money. Nice, frugal decisions by this management team. We asked for some work on the blue line and these guys have delivered without anchoring us to bad contracts for years to come. Really impressed.

If Hirose is on the opening day lineup, he will have to earn it. Nice audition late last season but if that was enough to earn him a spot open on an NHL blue line then we suck as a team. All these D signings are legit. This team needs depth and competition on the back end. Keep it coming.

Agreed. I've said all along he would be best value at $3.5-4M. Does his cap hit drop after the bonus payment? I'm gonna check that.
