quick..everyone back on the wagon!!



what would lead you to believe that demitra would be the captain? if anything, it would be sundin. yes, he would probably receive scrutiny like he did when he took the "C" in toronto, but sundin has the qaulities. besides, would you want a captain who can get injured at anytime?(and no, i don't have anything against demitra). of course mitchell may still end up being the prime candidate for captaincy over those 2

Bringing in Sundin would be great for the development of the Sedins IMO.

Is there any truth to a rumour I read on another forum that Sundin is in Vancouver right now?

Kev

yes. he's in vancouver right now. but that has been reported a couple weeks back. so this isn't a surprise visit. it is scheduled.

:rolleyes: Yea I'm sure he planned a trip out here from Sweden before the Canucks even made an offer to him.

If it is scheduled, what exactly is he doing here? IIRC, as of July 1st, he was in his hometown in Sweden?

Kev

if we sign demitra and bring in sundin, our pp would be pretty lethal. I would definitely be interested to see demitra on the same line as the sedins to see what kinda numbers they would put up.

Demitra is suppose to sign tomorrow so we'll see.

don't think demitra + sedins would be that great...
i'd much prefer if demitra was paired with sundin.

Beh, nothing to get so excited yet. We have no idea how Demitra will be like on this team.
And I still think Sundin's chance of wanting to play for Vancouver is low.

Demitra was awful last season but that been said I think he'll be a good fit in the overall scheme of things.

true...

i think demitra's past his prime already... i seriously hope they dont sign him ....

Mo went to Anaheim?

Yup 10char

Unfortunately, assembling a first line with players who have had successess in the past does not guarantee they will have chemistry here.

It's a gamble.

Kev

Which is why getting all upset about not getting mid-grade UFAs is silly, too... would it have been nice to see Marian Hossa with the Sedins? Sure... maybe. There might have been no chemistry and all three might have tanked.

we lost more than we gained...mo and naslund dont get enough respect in this market for sure

Bottom line is, we lost what... 32 goals from the two of them?

Respect is earned. And 32 goals for $9 million combined salary is not going to gain them much respect around these parts.

Kev

well u can look at ppg and compare their ppg to other salaries in the nhl....

And i don't think sakic's name gets mentioned enough for the numbers he still puts up

Now that Canucks lost Morrison and Linden, who's goign to be the shootout specialist?

+1.

And they only don't get respect from fans of this city. :rolleyes:

hopefully wellwood. shannon and raymond can be good.

theres really no point trying to go after sakic..even if vancouver is where he is from
truth is..and everyone in the league knows this

he either stays in denver or retire..
thats it

sigh...i really wanted to see Mo back...and given the C

Demitra supposedly just signed 3 yrs 12 mil
