Regular season is still too far away - preseason starts next monday though :haha:

artem chubarov??? :)

According to nhlnumbers.com the Canucks are 2.76 million over the salary cap right now.

If we sign Sundin to the rumoured 2 mill contract then you're going to see a guy like Demitra/Bieksa or package of players totally 4-5 mill shipped out.

i think you can still show up if you're not signed.. it's just if you get injured, that's your problem..

also, if shroeder shows up at a pro camp, he can't go back to the ncaa.
OR if he signs a pro contract, obviously he loses eligibility.

For the nhl heads in this thread, what is the penalty if we proceed with $$ over the salary cap ? I know for the NBA and MLB, you pay a luxury tax.

Teams found to have violated the cap face fines of up to $5 million, cancellation of contracts, loss of draft picks, loss of points and/or forfeiture of game(s) determined to have been affected by the violation of the cap.

DREGER: SUNDIN NOT NEGOTIATING WITH ANY TEAM

Painfully, the speculation as to where Mats Sundin will play this season and for how much has started.

Well, here's a news flash, the odds of Sundin playing at all are very slim.

Retirement is a safer bet than Sundin resigning with the Vancouver Canucks, or any other NHL team.

JP Barry, Sundin's agent responded to a report Sundin is in negotiation with the Canucks with a strong denial.

"There have been zero negotiations with Vancouver or any team for that matter," Barry told TSN.

"Mats just returned from his honeymoon and hasn't made any final decisions about resuming his career," Barry concluded.

However, until the 38 year old newlywed announces his retirement teams will continue to call and the speculation as to where he might land will be endless.

Leave it to Sportsnet to throw up a bogus story.

we dont need sundin

I can't remember a time where we have so many players capable of fighting for a roster spot this year in a very long time. In previous years it seemed like you knew who was going to make the time and we had 'just' enough. It'll be really interesting to see who gets shoved to the minors.

That's not true. Demitra will be injured. Who's gonna fill the top 6 void?

The reason Detroit is so successful is they have so many great veterans showing the newbies the ropes. Imagine Sundin tutoring Hodgson.

Chances are Sundin will get injured a few games here and there too.

Sundin makes the team better it's as simple as that

But if he sits out if training camp again etc then I dunno, should make up his fuckin mind

added: Mark Parrish invited to Canucks camp and Theo Fleury to Calgary camp

damn, i remember when mark parrish was ripping it up in the islanders

LOL when the fuck did we get Mark Parrish?

it's just a try out he hasn't been signed.

Training camp invitee I think

david scatchard??

Old news he was like the first one to be invited a while back.

Anyone else heading out to the linden signing today? In line right now, about 20th place. This definitely won't be as bad as the monday one.

Are you 15? As a grown man (which i assume you are) don't you find it weird approaching another grown man for an autograph.

^^ LOL ^^...but it's Trev..lol

What's wierd about asking for an autograph?

I don't see anything wrong with asking for a person's autograph (male or female)..
