  1. lots of good posts on the first page...

    Sestito on the PP is saying something about our goal scoring (as great of a teammate as he is), but more importantly - WHO is going to waive a NTC to go somewhere? and as far as our prospects go, horvat shouldnt be traded (schneids was our biggest trade chip in many years) schreoder has no value, and neither do the rest of our prospects really. to make a splash you gotta give up talent to get it, just think what we would have to give up to get seguin or eriksson without waiving a NTC.

    without Santorelli, this team would be out of the playoffs

  2. they don't want him to get injured and ruin the shot at being bought out.... really i haven't thought he was THAT bad, especially because their going to pay him either way, its almost like a keith ballard scenario.

    something more is behing the scenes i think, sitting a healthy player with the potential booth has just seems above and beyond normal... it sure doesnt look great on the canucks if they want to attract some good UFA's as well. you'd think that some team would throw the canucks a 7th for a shot at a rental - ESPECIALLY a team that hasnt used any buyouts yet.

  3. "AHLberts" is the most irrelevant and undeserved nickname for him.

    He hasn't even played a game in the AHL since arriving in Vancouver.

    He's a serviceable 7/8 d-man and people need to start to appreciate depth when we actually have it.

    You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

  4. No, but something like this just isn't about the game of hockey, its how SOME people are in this city...not saying all, but the attitude this city has towards not just visitors but its own people... its sickening how we treat and disrespect eachother in the community..(Putting the hockey business aside).

    welcome to life pal

    you want to live in a place where nobody is a douche and every stranger respects you? move to a deserted island. its sickening how blown out of proportion this is... did the canucks disrespect all of Boston when they went out to eat during the cup run and were told the restaurant was "out of food" ? no, just crybaby lucic does that. his intelligence is woefully obvious when he threatens to go to the police after being caught on video telling somebody hes going to kill them. what a moron.

  5. So if it's rigged, did they pay Luongo not to stop Pucks and the rest of our players not to score goals against Boston?

    Actually that makes too much sense...

    I think we're onto something here, thats why they tried so hard to trade Luongo!

    There must have been some kind of backroom deal made to get Luo back on our payroll, but in return we had to give up Schneids and Hodgson - so they can be made to look like heroes when their time comes!

  6. For the right price... And if the option is between him and Jordan "frodo" Schroeder I would say YES. he's outplayed all of our centre prospects, and IF horvat makes the NHL next season, santo is still a great 3rd C, or the guy Horvat looks to outplay before being handed a spot.

    You know, that whole earning a spot on a 2nd line C on a contending team? That thing you mental midgets slotting Schroeder and Horvat in our 2nd line next season seem to ignore?

  7. No. It's just early enough.

    Kassian up until now has only shown flashes if even touching hodgsons skill level - big man or not. He's a disappointment until he proves us wrong from here on out. Any other player and he woulda been written off as another bust 4th line signing... But he was traded for a guy playing on a top line now. We lost this trade HARD until/unless kassian proves he's more than a big bottom 6 winger

  8. Do you know what a top 4 defenceman is?

    It's a defenceman who plays either 1st of 2nd pairing, usually getting 20+ minutes a night that can take a regular shift even strength and play on at least one of the special teams.

    your an idiot - in terms of skill the oilers don't have 5 top 4 d-men... if any of their defence were traded to vancouver they would NOT play top 4 minutes... thanks for trolling douchebag
