Awesome news that Roussel is close to making his debut with us!! It also means we'll finally waive Biega! No frigging way are we sending down Motte or waiving Granlund... both are key PKers now!
Is Roussel ever gonna play for us? He just suffered a setback in his recovery... signed a nice 4-year deal but didn't take care of himself properly in offseason...
Not sure why you made the comparison.... Sestito is a goon that can't skate or fight... Dorsett was awesome but didn't offer the size, Kassian is not a 4th liner.
Look at how much Archie makes and his point production last season and tell me if he is still not good enough for the role.
Who else thinks Archie would be a much better fit on our 4th line than Leipsic or Gaunce or Granlund??
Schaller - Beagle - Archibald will be our best no nonsense line since we last saw Lapierre and Torres wearing our jerseys!!
Ya... there should be takers... teams like Arizona should take on more salaries?? But then again they did take a few dead contracts!!
Would be a refreshing start if we can ice Dahlen, Gaudette, Goldobin, Leipsic..
Good to see a few of you echo my comment! Biega is a serviceable backup D-man and most CDC peeps really wanna see him on the roster but we gotta get that spot for another veteran forward like Gagner/Granlund who can come in and out of the line-up.
Time to waive Biega, free up a forward spot this season! We got so many decent forwards and we shouldn't kill the depth by losing Leipsic or Goldobin. I get that Biega works his butt off but Pouliot will be just fine as the lone extra D-man. It serves the team better having more flexibility to rotate couple forwards depending on the opponents, I.e. size/grit vs speed/skill.
OK, let's be a bit realistic here....
Ice scrubbers to wear orca bikinis
Beers free if a canuck scores a hat trick.
Parking free for season ticket holders that renew!
Free pizzas if the canucks win by 3+ goals...
Now go apply to their marketing team with these ideas Son!
Hmmmm... let's not form an over-simplistic opinion... all I'm saying is, the general consensus among fans should matter!! For example, we want the best fit possible for our new 4th line and can't fill that with Granlund or Virtanen due to waivers restrictions... what if a Jasek or Archibald offer more value on that line? Do they not deserve serious consideration?
Guarantee you EP will have 2 G, 1 A tomorrow and CDC explodes like a mushroom.... all the fans camp out overnight outside the team store for his jerseys!!
