Using the logic that Jokinen isn't any good because they keep missing the playoffs with him is pretty retarded. LeCalvier and St.Louis must be pretty bad players as well seeing there team finished in dead last place last year who would want those bums?

speak for yourself about no hockey knowledge. whats a good player with shitty attitude? have you ever played on a hockey team to begin with? when 1 player is a prima donna, no one wants to play or even listen to him. when you can't communicate with your team, you can't produce. period!!!!!! team chemistry is ever so more important than skill alone. why are the great players in the nhl so successful? sakic, yzerman, gretzky, even messier had a positive influence in the canucks dressing room. and even now, crosby and ovechkin?
by your logic, any team is great as long as you slap all the best players in the league. if thats the case why did team canada win at the juniors the past 2 years when everyone wrote them off? management picked players based on the roles they played, not skill. work ethic and laziness can always be worked on and improved. attitude will never change.

Messier's great leadership propelled the canucks during his tenure to great playoff performances right??  oh wait they never made the playoffs with him and he made Linden step down from team captain as well.

Now you're going on about Messier? You clearly don't know how to debate jack shit. I asked you 2 times to give me evidence of Jokinen's terrible attitude as team captain of the Panthers yet you keep avoiding the argument.

I based what I said purely on what was in the newspaper months and months ago.............. it's futile to speculate, we don't know what goes on behind closed doors in the NHL, however, here are the exact quotes on Jokinen from the paper back when we were rumoured to be in the running to get him:
"Gillis alluded more to character issues.
"We didn't think he was the player we wanted to fit in with our team," he told the Vancouver Sun. "The reports we had were problematic for me and I really don't want to expand on it. We just didn't want to go in that direction."
Several teams appeared to have character issues with Jokinen, with one NHL executive calling Jokinen "a dog," referring to the idea he doesn't work as hard as he should."
I've really got no opinion about the guy, I was a bit surprised to be honest because I thought he seemed to be a good guy/hard worker/good player but these guys know what they're talking about so what can you say to dispute it... fact is fact.

Totally why Gretzky wanted him on the team. I don't see any coach in the NHL no matter how horrible the coach, to name someone who is a cancer on the team TEAM CAPTAIN. I have never heard of teammates saying anything bad about him. I've seen him play and he isn't a dog like Yashin who floats around he actually plays gritty and works hard. He ain't no superstar but is a very good player with some good line mates can probably get 40 goals. Saying shit like he sucks because he didn't lead Florida anywhere is stupid. (which is exactly what you said 6thGear..)

It's because of that he was leaving at the end of this year regardless.

^ exactly. Who are we to know if he's not a "cancer" to a team or if he is. . Plus, would you trade 2 of our young players for him? I sure hell wouldn't. Sure, he's good and all but I don't think he's worth it if we only get him for 1 year.
You guys should seriously just patiently wait until the camp begins or so and see what happens then.

it's true. the only real time you trade away guys like what the panthers were looking for is if we're getting something either proven in invaluable in return. almost like the bert-luongo deal 
the team we see today is not the team we will see in feb-mar.

With all talk of Mats Sundin perhaps joining the Vancouver Canucks, it looks like the Vancouver Canucks might need to focus on a different Swede, or more accurately a pair of them.
According to the Team 1040 radio station, Henrik and Daniel Sedin, who are in the last year of their respective contracts will meet with new Canucks general manager Mike Gillis on Wednesday.
The Sedins are each entering the final year of a three-year, $10.75 million contract. Their agent J.P. Barry told the Team 1040 that the purpose of the meeting is to find out if the Sedins are a part of the club's long term plans.
"I think we just need to discuss where they (the Sedins) fit into the marketplace." Barry told the Team 1040. "We need to get into that kind of detail, and we haven't gotten there. We haven't discussed term; we haven't discussed their intention of what kind of term, or ours. So, until we get thru those discussions and term, we probably won't get to the dollar stage."
While specifics weren't givin by Barry, his other comments point to the Sedins looking for a big raise.
"We just finished an extension negotiation for Shawn Horcoff, who did almost a carbon copy deal of the Sedins last time, and since that was done two years ago, Daniel and Henrik have outpaced him quite a bit offensively," Barry told the Team 1040. "So, we're going to see deals like that in the marketplace – the Gomez, Drury deal - for players who go free. They've outpaced both Gomez and Drury over the last three years. You know, they've outscored those players, and those players went free, so I think the question is 'What's the price to stay, and what's the price to go?'"
Barry also admitted to the Team 1040 that the Sedins would very likely already have signed contract extensions if former general manager Dave Nonis was still in charge.
"Well probably, I mean you've got a manager that's been with them since they were 18 years old." Barry said. "You know, the intention was there, so I would assume, based on our past dealings, that we would have likely gotten something done at that stage." http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=248887&l...=headlines_nhl
