Rob do you remember getting your picture taken with a woman between you and Luongo? My wife was wearing a Carolina jersey with Brind'a'mour's name on it.
If he is i want a picture autographed... back a number of years ago at a Panthers game i got a picture with my wife and Luongo and this other little known goalie from across the state... Rob Zepp!
Did you read the quote from Todd Bertuzzi? I would wager that he can spot how good a player is a little bit better than yourself And he is not calling for Hughes to reinvent the position!
I think the Canucks will be in no-man's land this year. Not good enough to make the playoff list but good enough to be out of a reasonable draft position.
Totally joking he was but who knows for sure! I don't think it's gonna be one of those "Ballard, Raymond, Rome, Granlund, and Hutton for Hannifin" kind of deals!
Hey i talked with the coach yesterday at his golf tourney... they are trying to acquire more talent up front. They are seeing if someone wants a high end dman for a high pick and another high prospect. Says they are very happy with the defence going forward with or without hanifan but think they can get further with assets from hanifan trade. I asked who on Canucks they like and without hesitation he said "no one actually" lmao! He's an awesome guy
I don't follow the Canes much but i would assume they need front end help and i believe they have a few good young dmen already. As for Hannifin there is nothing wrong with him at this point in his career.
I don't think you have to explain yourself on this, it is pretty straightforward and i agree with a lot of your comments. Rob gets pretty emotional when someone says anything critical towards his team.
Sid what are your thoughts on Juolevi as far as development? Do you see him in Utica for one year... two years maybe? Or do you see him having a shot at full time NHL next year?
Anyone have any thoughts on how long Lui will play for? Next season his salary gets cut in half to 3.3 a year, the year after i believe its 1.6 for the year and the last two years at 1 million a piece. I can see him coming back next year but i don't see him playing for the final 3 years. Any thoughts anyone?
Yes he had a really good game last night I think the way i worded my earlier post got you off track from my thoughts a bit... it wasn't about giving up on a pick, more of a lateral move with another team and both teams and players get new starts. Not necessarily about lack of production either. A lot of times you have to give up a prospect like that in package deals for another player etc.
