edit:

What I mean to say is, don't get so worked up over "one" guy that everyone has already disagreed with and whose opinions has no following whatsoever.

its more than one guy
and i think his message was not for that one comment by that one person, its that overall, a lot of people in vancouver are stupid on their comments on what will make the team better

most of these arm chair warriors think that trading away either a star player or a bunch of our young guns for a rental player will be the best move in canucks history

i don't mind some of these comments, but do your homework before you say something, at least then you'll look a bit more intelligent

this is not just for some of the people on RS, there are a lot more of these guys on other forums

although i don't agree with the fail lol, noir is right. i think at least 90% of canuck fans are retarded, if you get worked up over each stupid comment you will have a stroke soon. just remember that most canuck fans are just canuck fans, and not hockey fans. and stay away from cdc forums or you will smash your head through the monitor.

yeah bro, there are some dumbasses on the cdc forums

Definately not. It's been reported that he is looking for the league maximum on his next contract. That would be in the $20M/year range. I don't think anyone can build a decent team around a $20M player.

Just nuts how after their loss last night and the Detroit win, the Lames are in 9th place.

Chicago obviously couldn't resign him long term he would only be a rental player and even as a rental player they would have to dump salary outside the players they give up to get him

Flames would be down right retarded as well to give up phaneuf for a rental because that would fuck them long term they need to trade phaneuf for 1-2 players who already have 2-3 year contracts not rental players

The maximum one player can be paid is 20% of the teams cap. Even at 56.8 million that's 11.3 million and the salary cap is suppose to go down next year so it would actually be a bit lower then that assuming he asked for and got maximum.

full article from TSN.
I highlighted the important parts for those who only want to read the key points.

While Rouyn-Noranda Huskies' forward Patrice Cormier awaits word on the severity of his suspension, the victim of his brutal hit, Quebec Remparts' defenceman Mikael Tam broke his silence Friday, revealing the details of his struggle since suffering brain trauma and losing several teeth from the vicious collision.

"These last few days have been the hardest moments of my life," Tam said at a press conference in Quebec City.

"When I was in the emergency room and not realizing where I was, or why I was there, I got scared."

As the press and public debate the future in junior hockey for Cormier, the 19-year old Tam is trying to get his life back in order. He flew home to Quebec City from Rouyn-Noranda on Tuesday, but still remains unsure when he will be able to play again.

"Today I am not sure how long I will be away from the game," Tam admitted. "I have suffered a traumatic brain injury, I have lost a few teeth and I feel very tired. With the help of the medical staff, my goal is to return to the ice at some point."

Tam also stated he has no recollection of the hit that left him convulsing on the ice in a frightening scene and was fearful for his future in the aftermath.

"As I was regaining consciousness I felt an incredible pain. I remember wondering if I would ever walk again, and if my friends and my family would remain by my side. Mostly I was scared that I would never get to play hockey again," Tam admitted.

Tam stated that the injury has been particularly hard on his family.

"My situation has caused them a lot of anxiety and anguish, but their support was extraordinary."

Tam thanked the medical personnel at the arena as well as the staff at the Rouyn-Noranda hospital who helped him in his recovery. He also said that he was amazed at the support that he has received from fans who have sent him hundreds of notes and cards wishing him a speedy recovery.

"I'm amazed and touched that hockey fans all over the world have offered their support."

Meanwhile Quebec police continue their investigation into the incident and have yet to decide whether to press criminal charges against Cormier. Remparts coach and general manager Patrick Roy has already made his deposition to police.

Cormier, who was Canada's captain at the IIHF World Junior Hockey championship, has been suspended indefinitely by the league as commissioner Gilles Courteam decides his fate. The league has said they will make their announcement on Monday.

On Wednesday the OHL announced that Windsor Spitfires forward Zack Kassian received a 20 game suspension for his hit to the head of the Barrie Colts' Matt Kennedy. Earlier this season OHL commissioner David Branch suspended over-age forward Michael Liambas, then of the Erie Otters, for the remainder of the year and ending his junior career, for a hit from behind on the Kitchener Rangers' Ben Fanelli.

On Thursday Cormier spoke to RDS about the incident and stated that he never meant to hurt Tam.

"You see it clearly on the video that it's an elbow, but, as I've said, it was a reflex," Cormier explained to RDS. "I tried to check him. I had no idea I hit him in the head, but obviously I did. It was never my intention to cause any injuries."

The Huskies posted a statement on their website Monday, wishing Tam a quick recovery and expressing hope that he can make a rapid return to the ice.

While Cormier, who was selected by the New Jersey Devils in the second round of the 2009 NHL Entry draft, will likely be able to continue his career following his suspension, Tam said that he was worried that his dream of continuing to play hockey might be over but he vowed to return to the ice.

"I am a winner and a warrior and I will try and come back as soon as I can," Tam said. "My desire is to find again the passion that I had playing hockey and I will play hockey again."

Good for Tam , and what a BS excuse by Cormier saying it was just a reflx

Cormier needs to get the hammer down on him..

You just don't do that.. reflex...? I don't buy it considering he did it just like a month ago.

they wont just give him away for a rental player though, they need to get building blocks for their team

So when someone's skating by him, Cormier's reflex is to stick out his elbow? Dumbass.
