Ohlund, Mitchell, Kesler and Luongo where all concerned about Brown's #13 when Gillis told them Sundin had signed, but Brown offered to give up #13 without thinking twice. The Canucks and Sundin will be compensating Brown for the gesture. Shows how tight the locker room is this year.

snap

hes also gonna be on the rick ball show later on

Good move brown! If he didn't, I'm sure he'll be waived or something lol..iono

good to know. thanks!

Sami Salo - broken ribs out 4 weeks

God damn

So since Bernier has only 13 pts should we also cut him? A player who's been given every opportunity to succeed with the twins? Having a minus while playing on the PK is quite understandable. If you watch any of the Canuck games you'll see Pyatt is is quite responsible defensively. I'd rather cut Brown off the team before Pyatt any day of the year.

power play goals affect plus/minus now?

special teams doesnt contribute to +/- stats...

I'm with Skyline on Pyatt>Brown. I'd like to see hordi/johnson/pyatt. A line who can get lucky from time to time and score.Brown is tough but Pyatt gets in there as well and fights if a teammate gets a dirty hit.

If you choose brown over pyatt then i don't know. We have hordichuk that can fight if needed and if he gets injured fighting then bring on brown.

as a leafs fan i am glad sundin will remain in a canadian market - especially one where i can get plenty of coverage. sundin was always welcome back to the leafs but he really didn't fit into the plans to rebuild - he'd most likely be taking a roster spot from a kid that needs nhl experience. should be interesting to hear the play by play if sundin ends up playing with the sedins - an utter disaster if bob cole were to cover at his age :haha: ultimately i'd like to see him reunite with wellwood but both are too great on the face-off to not have them on different lines.

as for the burke snub - pathetic display by canucks ownership - should have remembered that its about honouring a great hockey player and person and dropped the petty crap for a minute.

on page A65 in the province, in the timeline section

"Dec. 15: Sources say Sundin has turned down a Rangers' offer worth $6 million, leaving the New Yorkers scrambling to find more money."

:lol

Sorry I meant he'd be getting less ice time with the top6 compared to Bernier. :)

You guys are stressing too much over this who stays thing. Just take in what a great couple of days this has been... how the room reacted (with their concern for Brown), how MG played the whole thing (not like Quinn pissing off Gretz) and Sundin's reaction (taking less money, apparently calling up MG and asking him on Monday - "How'd you like another Swede?")

Agreed. I think we are stressing too much about it. I see it as a positive, instead of saying omg who are we going to get? Now the concern is omg who are we going to keep? Don't get me wrong, the players we are tlaking about here like Pyatt for example aren't exactly dope players but the fact that we have options now is good.

I think Burke should have been invited. The special guests should be ones that Linden would want to be there, not the ones that management like or don't like.

Then again, Burke loves the media attention so it's no surprise that he raised a bit of a stink about it...

It's not stress (well not me atleast)..it's just a discussion. as at the end of the day, our opinions don't matter jack shit as it's all up the coach.lol.

Whimp.............. he's no Trevor Linden, LOL.

that was his first game back too wasnt it?

right after that hit, i knew it wasnt good

:thumbsup: Nice move Brown! I wonder what number Brown is gonna take now.

yup his first game back but this injury was due to him being a dumb ass not unlucky

the paper said he's taking 50

there's no 13 on the moose!

Haha, beat me to it.

On Team1040, Rick Ball said the Canucks have decided to come together and buy a gift for Mike Brown for giving up his number 13.
