			^ i think as a restricted free agent any team can offer you a contract but your previous team has the right to match any offer. if your previous team decides not to match the contract some other team has offered to you and you sign on with new team, your previous team is compensated with draft picks from your new team. for exmaple edmonton offered dustin penner (who was an RFA) 4 mill a year. anaheim didnt match the contract so they lost dustin penner to the oilers. BUT the oilers have to give a 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounder (i think) to the ducks as compensation....please correct me if im wrong

			ohlund will take a home town discount since hes been playing in vanocuver his whole nhl life... i think salo took a discount too since hes old and coming to his retirement   
gillis is just an ass he should of atleast given a contract to nazzy at a discount of course   
it would of been awesome to sign bert nazzy and mo for like 10 million for 3 players...now that would be a huge discount

For the Leaf fans, it would be like Fletcher coming in, and not offering sundin a deal....  
naslund at 4mil with 50-60 points a season, is still very good..   
Gillis should have went after the "ingredient(s)" to build a monsterous team,  
and not spend his time searching for a monster to put on a team....

			i'm actually very sad to see naslund go..whether or not he was producing, he was still the face of our team for many years.  i don't think he's anywhere near past his prime, he just wasn't able to thrive in av's system.  something funny i found while searching for naslund videos..the first link i came across had comments full of "fake" and "edited" but it looks pretty real to me.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=kCZTzQg0cmk&feature=related     |

There's what a lot of you need.  
The way I see it, there are still a lot of players out there, and us missing out on one superstar or another doesn't mean our team's eating with the dogs all of a sudden. Yes, it's disconcerting to see, but no, I won't panic if nothing's happened and the season's about to start.

U know wat Gillis might have a plan in mind, give him alil credit. His recent signings havent been spectacular in some peoples minds but i say wait and see wat hes tryin to accomplish. I think he said that he wanted to win a cup here..... I dont really think his goal has changed. Give it alil time.

WHO WOULD YOU PICK?   |       Mitchell.  Ohlund is one of my favorite Canucks but he's not our captain.  He plays with intensity sometimes but we need a guy that's a serious leader by example and vocally.
