woah, and hot off the heels of that ballard trade. i guess ballard doesnt equal two former 1st rounders and a 1st after all.

Can I work for PR for the Canucks. I'd like a job where I take 3 weeks to make a simple announcement.

[Crackers]

I guess it's a good substitute job since US president didn't work out too well for him.

[Shift-4]

Just came here to say I still want to punch Michel Petit

[Salmonberries]

Interesting move.

[Kenny Powers]

I vaguely recall him as a Canuck and like his resume, having coached Juniors in Guelph and Team Canada.

[LuckyLuciano]

Lol wut!? He so dumb tho

[canucks_kcchiefs]

Possibly a replacement for Green when he moves on up to the NHL?

[DeNiro]

Definitely has a solid resume.

That Storm team was ridiculously good too. Just adds more focus on the player development side which this organization desperately needs right now.

[KeslerPlaysLikeACanadian]

The really weird part about this is that we all know Willie and Jim absolutely hate young players. Our own prospects in particular.

I remember when I was young kid, I was at a Vancouver Grizzles game sitting 1 row behind floor seats. During one of the timeouts, I noticed Scott Walker (who was then a real "Glue guy" on the Canucks) sitting a few seats over. With an anticipatory excitement, I walked over to him with small notepad I had from school with me, and asked him if he was Scott Walker.

With a smile, he answered yes, and asked if I'd like an autograph, since I was holding a pen and a notepad. I was a bit star struck and just nodded rapidly, and he was great about the whole thing. He chuckled, asked my name, and asked if I wanted the guy sitting next to him to autograph the notepad too. I said "yes please" admittedly not knowing who it was, and it turned out to be Esa Tikkanen.

It was my first time meeting a professional athlete, he really made my day, and I'll always cherish that moment.

Welcome back to Vancouver Scott, you were a class act.
