  1. Yes, it was another good performance by Gaunce. With Prust, Dorsett and Vey eating up roster spots I think he is Utica bound despite having outplayed all three!
  2. I always thought it was a shame the Kyrill Koltsov never came to the Canucks. He definitely had elite talent. If I was him I would have taken the millions per year in the KHL to the AHL salary. Trymankin is a totally different defenseman, but again if the Canucks insist on AHL time why would he come over. Shirokov came over at a big dollar loss. He played well and deserved a shot at the NHL. I still remember Vigneaults facial expression when he scored a beautiful goal. He sat on the bench next game and then was sent back to the AHL. He sure is doing well in the KHL now and making big dollars. We need Trymankin big time. I think a one way deal will get him here. A two way deal not so much. We need him as much as he wants to play in the NHL.
  3. We all look at videos and reviews and have our personal favorites and views. Personally I am happy that Benning is from a scouting family and has an inside track on scouting. He is way way better than we are at judging talent. It is still a bit of a crap shoot, but I think we have the right guy making the calls.
  4. I loved watching Pavel Bure when he was a Canuck. No one that has entered the NHL looks more like Pavel on the ice than Ehlers. Not saying Ehlers can be Bure, but Bure Light would be entertaining and no doubt make the Canucks competitive again.
  5. If Lou wanted to play the Heritage Classic he shouldn't have refused the the trade. I strongly suspect that Gillis worked out a trade r Lou, but Lou said no, hence Lack starting the Classic.
  6. Wow! Some of you are like Jack. Some magic beans for the cow that produces milk and will bear several calfs ! Kesler is the real deal. We got him, but for us it is the wrong time, wrong fit! He needs to move
  7. Make it Kesler and Higgins for Bennet, Pouliot, Despres and a conditional 1st if the Penquins make it to the finals this year.
  8. Injuries have hampered his development. Finally this year he is healthy and starting to develop again. If he can stay healthy maybe he can evolve into the player the Canucks hoped he would become when they drafted him.
  9. Kassian has been impressive for a first year NHL player. He brings size, toughness and skill. Hopefully he becomes Todd Bertuzzi 2.0. He could become a key part of a championship Canucks team.
  10. Let's not forget the sourfaced grimance from AV when Shirokov scored a very nice goal. Pretty clear AV didn't want any part of Shirokov. I would have gone back to Russia too.
