i had so much hope to see Bmo return. im a little sad now. that guy worked as hard as he could every night and really just needed a good season. i still think hes capable of 60 points with the right wingers.
as for sundin, i really REALLY do not want to see him in a canuck uniform, but at this point, its not like saving $10m is going to help us either. i would much rather see it as a 1 year deal tho.

^ One thing you have to remember is that having a guy like Sundin around will help tremendously with the development of our younger guys that are currently on the Canucks roster. Guys like Kesler, Raymond and Bernier will benefit hugely from having a guy like Sundin to learn from.

just because most of the big names are gone, doesn't mean theres no one to sign
there are plenty of good players that aren't signed yet
they're not big name players, but they get the job done

Thinking back, the new rules turned out to be bad for the WCE . I remember Naslund and Morrison were excellent at creating turnovers in the offensive zone by hooking and obstructing

| http://www.nhlline.ca/fa_frenzy.html 9:30PM UPDATE: According to a source, the Vancouver Canucks and UFA forward Pavol Demitra are closing in on a multi-year deal. One source indicated the two sides may have verbally agreed to a deal but we are still awaiting further confirmation. Any deal won't be announced until tomorrow.

Hey can the hockey experts here school me on Demitra today as a player? All I know is that I'd trade for him in the season mode in NHL 98....

He's also more injury prone than those 2, only played a full season twice in his career.

consistent ppg skill player - better agility than Naslund.
If he wasn't so injury prone, I'd have him in my hockey pool as one of my better forwards (for pts only). I can't say that about Naslund or Morrison post WCE.

"Pavol Demitra – It’s been five years (and three teams) since he’s crossed the 64-point threshold. In the right situation, he may get 70 points in 70 games, but he is too fragile to expect more – no matter where he plays." www.dobberhockey.com | |

Demitra is going to be a good move by Gillis.
Keep in mind he has never played on a really offensive team..
Minnesota, LA, St. Louis..
Not like Vancouver will be offensively better than any of the teams I listed.
Last 3 seasons..
Naslund - 81G w. 245 games = .33 gpg
Demitra - 65G w. 197 games = .33 gpg
Morrison - 48G w. 203 games = .23 gpg
Interesting statistic..

Demitra has also worn the C and A during times with the Wild.
I believe Minnesota was rotating captains for a while but I believe Rolston was their captain for the majority of the year.
Speaking of captains. If Sundin or Demitra sign in the future will either wear the C or A? I would assume Sundin would wear an A.
This season is definately going to take some getting used to (in regards to players lost and found).

i believe Demitra will be a good pickup. He still has a lethal wrist shot, something i think Naslund lost. But im pretty sure he wont be playin with the Sedins.
Sedin Sedin Bernier
Demitra "Sundin" Raymond
Burrows Kelser Pyatt
Pettinger Wellwood Johnson
Thats if we only land Sundin, thats when we can take our hand off the Panic Button.

He is a RW, and *was* a goal scorer, something the Sedins have never really had on their line. Naslund as we all know had no chemistry with the twins.
