  1. That’s the goalie management said they needed for the AHL right there and can come in as backup if needed. Doesn’t automatically mean Dipietro will be gone but it might look like we could move him in a bigger package deal if needed.
  2. Great! How can one not like the signing at that cap hit? We have him for several years at a very friendly price. And if it doesn’t work out he’ll play in Abby. Tho I think he can fill a 4th line spot pretty nicely with the tools that he has and the game he plays. Very nice indeed! Me likes.
  3. Oh noes, and to think we need to ice the newly formed hockey team tomorrow already
  4. I’m not worried and insist on this management doing good things not jumping the gun. But on the other hand - trades don’t seem to be that hard to make.
  5. How can you (or people here in general) possibly be upset at someone -management group in this case, for something that has not happened? Seems a bir unfair doesn’t it, as it may not occur at all. The season starts late in the fall and we are a long way from that moment. A lot will still happen on every team between now and then and to my understanding there has been no indication of a 8-year deal for Miller. Relax everyone.
  6. True, and good of you to correct me. Belfour was good but basically for two years. Cujo I forgot about but that being 20 years ago, I kinda still feel like the trend is that they have been looking for a number one for a very, very long time.
  7. Correct me if I’m wrong on this but I feel the Maple Leafs have not had a steady and solid #1 goalie since Felix Potvin. They have been shufflig goalies ever since it feels like. Someone might say he wasn’t solid either but I have nothing against other teams and don’t feel the need to hate rival teams etc so my point is not to put them in the ground with this. Same goes for the Flyers ever since Ron Hextall. I might be forgetting someone in between there but it wasn’t Garth Snow in PHI and it wans’t Vesa Toskala in TOR either.
  8. I’ve said this before from time to time - but I wish we’d have it like before when salaries were not disclosed. How much players make or how the team works it’s numbers is none of our business. Term might be relevant so fans know how long they’ll be able to enjoy the services of a player but not the $$ numbers. We should be excited about the on-ice product and not about how many dollars are used as long as we ice a team that can make for good entertainment and gets us into the playoffs. Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks General Manager Mike Gillis today announced that the team has re-signed goaltender Curtis Sanford. In keeping with club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
  9. I don’t think we are 1-2 cap related moves and a few UFA signings away from being a contender so a few quick moves to make fans happy probably isn’t the way to move forward right now how ever exciting that sounds like. Moves will be made and to the management group it probably doesn’t matter if they are made now or in september or somewhere in between when the right deal comes together.
  10. I don’t think tanking is a word or a plan used in a big business world. Just fans saying that. But the plan obviously is to start over big time in Chicago. It probably includes drafting higher up but getting a 1st overall is not guarateed so the plan can’t be just about that. What they are doing from now on is what we should have done when Benning & Co first arrived so the plan is probably better than what we had.
  11. I thought he was older than that. I’m so used to him being around and feels like he has been kn the league for a really long time already. 31 is still too early to have to end a career so I hope he can still rehab and return. Maybe take the whole year off?
  12. That is the kinda deal all managers should find. Nothing spectacular but has some good upside and will be easy to fit under the cap.
  13. Everyone with a generally positive state of mind seems to be excited about our new draft pics and rightfully so. Happy to see that around here and it cannot be taken for granted on CDC. He seems like a quality guy and has a lot of room to improve still. All of our draft choices this year look to be longer projects to develop but exciting pics still.
  14. Well I’m excited by what I have now read about him. It will be several years until we see where this pick is going but I’m super happy we took him. He has size at 6’3” already and room to grow. He is one of the youngest guys in the whole draft so it gives is a lot of tine to work with him. Welcome Ty!
  15. I try to distance myself from all the conspiracy theories about the league and the Canucks - but this was golden
  16. That one was quite funny. Elias Pettersson & Elias Pettersson
