He means ones where you pick players and stick with the same players for the rest of the year.

I don't think Yahoo does, but Office Pools and Sportsnet and http://www.pickuphockey.com/ too. I think Office pools costs money tho.

officepools does not have an online draft though, im looking for an online draft system that is the typical pool as you described Hachisix, i cant seem to find one though even paied ones

Ya ususally me and my friends just meet up on msn or something and we just do an online draft on our own. Its not fancy like yahoo's but it gets the job done.

"Generally" is a bit of a stretch.

Yes, it worked for the the Penguins... but which other team?

And the Penguins lucked out because they got a #1 pick in Crosby and then a #2 pick in Malkin.

How often does a Crosby come along? Next to never.
How often does a Malkin come along AS A #2 PICK? Next to never.

So even if the Canucks sucked total ass these next two years and get the #1 draft pick in each subsequent year, there is absolutely no guarantee or should there even be an expectation that we can pull off what Pittsburgh did a few years down the line.

it wouldn't be the same as office pools, because in that everyone can choose the same players. there isn't only one assigned to each user.

i still have a feeling they had a lockout to save the pittsburgh franchise.... and the lottery behind closed door was bullshit. They made it a lottery so pittsburgh can draft Crosby to save the pittsburgh penguins

If that's possible that might actually work.

Roberto Luongo signs long-term contract extension
Wednesday, 09.02.2009 / 11:30 AM / News Vancouver Canucks

Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks President and General Manager Mike Gillis announced today that goaltender Roberto Luongo has agreed to terms on a 12 year contract extension through the 2021-2022 season.

“Today is a very exciting day for the Canucks organization,” said Mike Gillis. “Roberto Luongo is the leader of our hockey team; he is in the prime of his playing career and has a tremendous desire to make the Canucks a championship team. His leadership, competitiveness and character are what this team will represent for many years to come.”

“This is a great day for me and my family,” said Roberto Luongo. “I love playing in a passionate hockey city like Vancouver and along with my teammates I am committed to doing everything I can to help make this a championship team.”

Luongo, 30, posted a record of 33-13-7 during the 2008-09 campaign, marking the fourth consecutive season that he has registered 30 or more wins. Luongo established a franchise record for most shutouts in a season (9) in addition to setting a franchise record for the longest shutout sequence, playing 242:36 without allowing an opposition goal (second longest streak in the modern NHL).

He held the League’s second longest winning streak this past season, posting eight consecutive wins (Feb. 3-21/09). Luongo also helped lead the Canucks to the Western Conference Semi-Finals for the second time in his career. During the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Montreal native went 6-4 and posted his first career playoff shutout. Luongo was recognized as an NHL All-Star, Canucks Molson Cup winner and Scotiabank NHL Fan Fav award winner in 2008-09 for his on-ice accomplishments.

Luongo has appeared in 544 NHL games, posting a career record of 230-232-64 and 2.57 goals against average. He ranks fourth among active goaltenders for most career shutouts (47) and became one of only 53 goaltenders in League history to play 500 or more NHL games. Luongo has a career Playoff record of 11-11. In his playoff debut in 2006-07, he set a new league record for most shots faced by a goaltender in a single game (76) and tied the league record for most saves (72) while playing in the franchise’s longest game in Playoff history (138:06).

Luongo has also represented Canada numerous times on the international stage. He won gold at the World Championships (2004 and 2003) and World Cup (2004) and won silver at the World Championships (2005) and World Junior Championships (1999). The Montreal native also represented Canada at the 2006 Olympic Games and recently attended Team Canada’s 2010 Olympic orientation camp.

The 6’3”, 205 lbs, native of Montreal, Quebec was drafted by the New York Islanders fourth overall in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft. He was originally acquired by the Canucks from Florida on June 23, 2006.

RDS a appris que Roberto Luongo s'est entendu avec les Canucks de Vancouver sur une prolongation de contrat de 12 ans. L'entente va lui rapporter 63 millions de dollars, soit une moyenne d'un peu plus de cinq millions par saison.

Luongo devient ainsi le gardien le mieux payé de l'histoire de la LNH alors qu'il terminera sa carrière avec des gains d'environ 110 millions.

Son agent, Gilles Lupien et la direction des Canucks se sont entendus au cours des derniers jours sur les détails du contrat et l'entente sera confirmée aujourd'hui.

Il était d'ailleurs très important pour Roberto Luongo que ce dossier se règle avant le début du camp d'entraînement afin d'éviter toute distraction.

:lol

I'm wonder how the Sedins feel about this. They wanted to retire a Canuck with long term contracts of over 10 years on a discounted $5.5 million cap hit. Gillis declined over reasons that he doesn't believe in long term contracts and got them down to 5 years for $6M.

I'm glad he signed Luongo and all, but his philosophies seem to change from player to player. From the pursuit of Mats Sundin vs. Marion Gaborik, from the signing of Sedins vs. Luongo.

Not a bad cap hit. Definitely gives us a little more room to play around for the players upfront.

He is a fucking steal at 5.3 mill/year for one of the top 3 goalies in the entire league!

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder what he is going to do when it comes to Kesler.

It could be Aquaman's doing. Those Eyetalians stick together like shit to a diaper. Get together over some good pasta and wham, you're a paisano. j/k.

I guess he really wants to stay here. Another Vancouverite. I think we can accept him into our neck of the woods.
