Anyone have any idea if changing GMs affects 'No Trade' or 'No Movement' clauses?

Deniro, see what Higgyfan said.

Did anyone else hear Gary Valk say that Kassian has been the best player on the ice for both teams? Anyone else continue to think Gary Valk is full of it?

I'm pumped for this game! Montreal is my second favourite team not only because I used to live there but because I like the personnel and their style of play. The Bell Centre is an awesome place to take in a game. Also, my Dad and his friend flew out there this morning to follow the Canucks for the end of this road trip. They are both celebrating milestone birthdays and are huge Canuck fans, so they've been planning this road trip for a while. Because of the way they've been playing they brought with them a couple Canuck-blue paper bags (in jest, mostly), so hopefully the team brings it tonight and they dont have to wear them!! GO CANUCKS GO

^^ What he said... Balls.

5 hits, a concussion, and then you buy a Florida Panther jersey.

They arent giving us Duchene or Mackinnon, so... Edler for Stastny? Tanev+ for O'Reilly?

Getting Ott would seal Schroeder's fate for this season at least. Ott provides a gritty, depth centre for a playoff run. He does not provide any real offence which is what we have more of a need for (considering the grit we saw last night). I would much rather we go after Ladd.

Except what is the purpose of getting those points and getting into the playoffs if we cannot play a grittier, playoff-style game? Kind of putting the cart before the horse, no?

What does that say about Horvat? He's not even one of the best offensive forwards on an offensively weak team. That sucks.

Did you even watch the replay? Stanton was going down akwardly a bit already and the guy just kinda touched his shoulder. I thought it looked dirty in real time too, but on second look I dont even think that was worth a penalty. It really is too bad, Stanton has been killing it.

Really? No one knows the Shebeen Room at the back of the Irish Heather? Amazing selection of whiskies at decent prices (a lot of drams are less than $15)

THE SHEBEEN ROOM. GO THERE.

TL, DR. Thought this was going to be about booty calls.

Question about players playing multiple positions: It's not crazy for defencemen and forwards to switch it up (see Brent Burns, Byfuglien, Wendel Clark, Phil Housley, etc.)... But has there ever been a player that also acted as the backup goalie, or a backup goalie that acted as a backup skater (e.g. the 7th or 8th defencemen)?

Between the awesome roster for the Olympics, the Canucks in the World Juniors, and our new head coach I am so excited for hockey to start. I'd do: Stamkos - Crosby - St. Louis Nash - Toews - Giroux Tavares - Bergeron - Richards E. Staal - Getzlaf - Perry Sharp - Thornton - Couture Keith - Letang Hamhuis - Weber Subban - Pietrangelo Seabrook - Doughty Luongo Crawford Price

Yessum, too easy?

Just viewed this thread, hopefully this hasn't been posted:

Man, reading that made me remember this: I'm so happy to have them on our team.

Interesting take on AV's tenure, and I'd have to say I agree with you. Why does Kesler get away with diving in the playoffs? Why does he not encourage his players to hit more against the team that embarrassed them in the playoffs last year? Why split up lines while they are on a hot streak (referring to the end of last season). Qu'est-ce que fudge AV? I know, right? I think with the way Tanev has been playing he would make a great fit. Tanev with Edler, Ballard and Garrison? I like that more than the D changeup we saw last night.
