Being a contact year for a 32 year old defenceman coming off injury , Edler needs to play the best hockey of his career in the next 3-1/2 months. Otherwise Brian Burke might have to travel to Vancouver and rent a car . Brian Burke on SN 650 on Edler (ufa) : "First off I wouldn't be talking about a new contract until the season ends because he is getting long in the tooth. I like him as a player but he is getting up there. "I understand why he had to do this. I have no hard feelings. If he gets the deal he should take it. But like I've said before, if he can get the kind of contract he's looking for, I'll drive him to the airport." - Brian Burke

I would wait til the trade dead line to extend Edler. I want him to stay a Canuck for a couple more years , but you never know what someone else thinks he’s worth in the right situation.

e Friedman Retweeted Edmonton Oilers @EdmontonOilers The #Oilers have assigned forwards Jesse Puljujarvi & Kailer Yamamoto to the Bakersfield @Condors .

London is pointless, Swedish elite league maybe?

Deserves another chance if that knee is ok. Hopefully gets a 2 way contract.

Does Vegas really need him?

My vote for best example of team toughness this season is Ryan Miller jumping in to save Stetcher in Toronto. Being the goalie, that doesn't say a lot about the rest of the orca jerseys out there, save Gudbranson. Special mention to Labate in SanJose for his first fight and Tryamkin for the biggest hits during this season. Steep drop off after that , maybe throw in Biega and Pizza for their grit . thats about it. Makes me wonder , Prust for Kassian and a 4th or 5th was it ?

Is there any foundation to the rumour that he might see an NHL game or two before the season is over?

Ottawa going to be talkin extension on those 2 years

If Burrows pulls together a "vintage Burrows" playoff run with another team he will insure he gets a multi year deal , which, at his age is all he wants for retirement. He gave us a glimpse in that Buffalo game when the Montreal scouts were in the building of " vintage Burrows"

Canucks Now @CanucksNow Kuzma: "(The eastern scout) was in Vancouver specifically to look at Alex Burrows. Bergevin loves Burrows." 2/2 9:45 AM - 7 Feb 2017 21 They would love him in Montreal

Was that it for ice time? 6 minutes.

Burrows has been rumoured to actually research opponents prior to games to better insult them personally ie; wife names , family circumstances, previous wrongdoings etc. He was once one of the best agitators in the game. Does that make a good roll model? That said, I don't know what happened but he has lost that edge, maybe he has matured. Pisses people off about as often as he scores, which used to be a lot . Not so much of either anymore .

Thread has been fixed so it doesn't focus on spelling, yeesh , get a life! Lol

This thread, it to track progress in hopes Higgins can resurrect his career. I can see his stats with Utica so far after his second game : 0 goals, 1 assist , 3 shots, -3 +/- . If you have positive news or you watch the Comets play feel free to share any information you have on Chris Higgins.

When you take last season into consideration, when certain players on this team chose not to act like professionals but act like overpaid crybabies that tried to get their coach fired because they didn't want to work hard, their were some bright spots . Richardson?Santorelli, Booth, Kassian, Lack, Tannev , Sestigo, Bieksa, Laine. ( a couple more but you get the point) When torts was embarrassed Booth was the best player on the team , Booth continued to play strong. It's hard for me to be a Sedin fan after last season.

Great to have someone in charge who actually played and sat in the locker room with the core of this team. He knows the team . I think it will help get to the base of the problem and get things righted. My opinion is the Sedins and Edler and their attitude towards Torterella has a lot to do with it, especially after that Calgary game. The tougher players on the team like Kassian , Richardson, Bieksa , sestito , Booth, Kesler, and Higgins, all bought in and played well. They were willing to hit, dump, block shots, and kill penalties. Others felt mistreated for being asked to play that way because they are "skill players" . A team divided like that doesn't get far. Only my opinion.

On the long shot the Canucks made it St. Louis could be a first round opponent which is very favourable for us. It's all California after that , Colorado will be swept by whoever and Chicago could be waiting as well.

Jim Sandlak or Cam Neely he's not there yet . His play shows huge potential but inconstant . Have to keep him for at least 2 more years but I think he's another Jim Sandlak so far

There really is nothing worse than being that team that just misses the playoffs by a point or two. You never get a great draft pick and never get better. Take a chance and go after a top Russian , roll the dice, you never know. Better than becoming the next Atlanta/ Winnipeg jets?

It seems our core 1st line and top 3 D are the most useless people on the team right now probably because they want the coach gone so why not throw some youth and enthusiasm in there?

As a fan who can't look away, only 18 more tragic car accidents to rubberneck at

Lowest point since we missed the playoffs last and there was that youtube video with hitler .
