Cal and Gary's Phlegms

I feel like that's a type of injury that shouldn't be joked about...

Hopefully the change of scenery kickstarts Peter Regin's season and has a strong finish!

Rumour: With the trade freeze upcoming on the 7th, sources are confirming that Vancouver is contemplating making some UFA playoff pieces available in Jay McClement, Daniel Winnik, Marc-Andre Cliche, Carlo Colaiacovo and Jeff Halpern. Inquire within.

Assignment: Vancouver sends down Alexei Marachenko to the Utica Comets Recall: Vancouver recalls Zach Trotman and slots in as the 8th defenseman

I'll take whichever goaltending's left and for my forward, Alex Burmistrov, who's expected to be named as an injury replacement.

Just because I'm curious to see what he does, Petr Nedved.

Going with Rick Nash

Time to gamble big time: Valeri Nichushkin

Niklas Kronwall

Andrei Markov

Woops, my apologies. Slava Voynov

Pavel Datsyuk

Think he'll be a man on a mission so gonna take Ilya Kovalchuk

Extremely proud of Matt Duchene, Jamie Benn, and Alex Pietrangelo for making Team Canada!!!

Also, curious to know if the commissioner counted the 10pts that Raanta collected as he was not put up onto my pickup roster until after the fact. I had a 61pt night that day when I should of had 71pts.

Reminder to the commissioner that I called up Marchenko and he is yet to appear on my pickup roster and thus, I do not have his 6pts that he contributed on Saturday.

Recall: Vancouver recalls Alexei Marchenko

I'll take Evgeni Malkin

Oh I know it will probably change again tonight, so I'm not mad at all. Just saying that if you're going to update the standings, gotta do it right is all hahaha

I think I should be tied for third in the division...

Merry Christmas to all the GMs and their respective families, significant others, and friends!

Assignment: Vancouver assigns Frederik Andersen to the minors. Recall: Vancouver recalls Antti Raanta

Updated Utica Comets Lines Marek Hrivik - Scott Laughton - Jared Knight Matthew Lindblad - Alex Broadhurst - Mitch Callahan Colton Hargrove - Tyler Graovac - Chris Wagner Pierre-Cedric Labrie - Steven Whitney - Marek Tvrdon Chase Balisey Mark Cundari - Alexei Marchenko Mike Matheson - Zach Trotman Kevin Gravel - Markus Lauridsen Antti Raanta

Going into the year, we not only had expectations of being a contending team, but wanted to be one of the top teams in the Western Conference and we thought we had the personnel to do that. We feel like we've been patient enough with this current squad and felt that a change was necessary. We needed to let the team know that no player was safe from being traded given the right deal and we felt that we accomplished that. We've had our eye on Scott Laughton for a long time and when the opportunity came to be able to acquire a packaged headed by him, while it was a tough decision, it was necessary for us to pull the trigger on this deal. We expect Scott to compete hard for a spot on our roster come training camp next year and we are eager to see him on a line with fellow Canucks prospects, Taylor Leier and Anthony Mantha, at the World Juniors this year. In Matheson, we add a quality puck moving defenseman and one can never have enough of those. The part of the deal that sealed it for us was being able to reacquire our 1st round pick this draft and hope to be able to draft a solid prospect there. We would like to thank Mikko for all he has done for our team and in the community, along with Jordie Benn and Jeff Halpern. We are by no means done trading as if the team continues to underperform, we will reassess the direction of this team sooner rather than later.
