I think Ballard just needs a change of scenery..but before we hate on the guy, lets see how his first season with us is gonna be like. And as for Grabner, hate to say it, but he had his chance to crack the lineup. Yes, there's potential, and he might be better than Raymond, but that's a lot of "what if's". Truth is, he may never develop here trying to crack the lineup, but in FLA, he has a realistic chance to make the team and play on opening night.

Mitchell loves Vancouver I think he would stay for 1.5 over 1 year.

I just read on the paper that Zbynek Michalek from the Coyotes is UFA. He made 1.2m hit last year.. I think he would be a great fit here. IMO he is like a Brent Seabrook type player. (His +/- isn't that good though but then again he is from the Coyotes).
Hell, I'd take James Neal too! (RFA)
Thursday can't come any sooner.

I think mitchell sold his place already. Unlikely that he is going to stay in Vancouver.

You guys that think Willie should re-sign for 1.5 - 2 mill are insane.
You're offering a top 4 shutdown D man bottom feeder money?
Has he not done enough to save our asses for you guys to really think he's that shitty of a player?
Seriously?

I don't think any of us thinks he's shitty. It's just that we don't really know if he can still play like how he did last year.
paying him 2mills for 1 year isn't a bad deal for both sides. He can use this 1 year to prove us all wrong.

$1.5 mill is beyond a steal for Willie.

He might agree to say $1.5 with a bonus based on performance. I don't know if Gillis would be willing to pay over $2+.

Teams like Toronto and Washington may want someone like Mitchell. I really hope the Canucks can secure a top 4 dman come Thursday, which gives them some leeway to move Beikshit. Do not want.

it really depends on how many concussions mitchell has.. if its lots ( i dont know how many) then it may not be wise to sign him even if it really is a good player. tought tought call.. once you get a concussion, its easier to get more..

Mitchel is desperate to show he's over basically a year long concussion, MG isn't stupid enough to risk giving him 2.75+ to only have his head knocked around again and our D stretched to the brink, Willie obviously loves Vancouver and if he truely is over the concussion I wouldn't see why he wouldn't sign a cheap one year deal to show he has the ability to grab another multi year contract after that
It's way too risky to give him 2.75+ Posted via RS Mobile | |

Especially when what MG is trying to work a defensive end that can last the full stretch of 82 games + Post Season.
If there are serious doubts he can last that long and with good effectiveness, we're just right back to 2009-2010 post season.

All you have to do is look at guys like Savard and Bergeron and know that one injury isn't going to make a player + agent all of a sudden feel they're going to need to take a paycut. If he doesn't re-sign here then there are 29 other teams out there that will gladly take him off our hands.

Cap space is there but at that point in the season you have no options but waivers or the moose so we get some shut replacement and our d is stretched once again Posted via RS Mobile | |

I'd rather spend the $ on either Michalek/Martin/Foster/Hamhuis
Let's say we get Hamhuis or Volchenkov and Foster/Michalek.. Then trade Bieksa for a FWD
Hamhuis/Volchenkov - Ballard
Edler - Ehrhoff
Foster/Michalek - Salo
scratches
O'Brien/Rome
That's a Solid D right there that can log HUGE minutes
