Ya well Pronger was a piece of shit too (in terms of being a nasty piece of business) but anyone who says they wouldn't want them on their team is either full of shit or full of stupid.

Skilled guy who plays with an edge? Sounds like what a lot of Canucks fans hope Kassian turns out to be IMO...

Lol @ being failed for liking another player in the NHL for what he brings to the table. The 2013 Canucks thread is sadly much different than the RS Canucks threads of old.. :okay:

ahhh Kassian is always so photogenic...

He's signed for 7 yrs after this season. 6m per. Hope you're patient

You can be skilled, physical, tough, without being a tool.

Bieksa has some j00cy arms

Detroit struggling to stay in that 8th spot...would suck to see them not make the playoffs; injuries have killed them this year.

^they need a rebuild or at least a top pick and signing Howard to a long-term was a bad idea since Mrazek has much better potential.

lol...seriously? Detroit? A rebuild?....Detroit always has the best prospects, they dont' need to do anything except continue to draft like absolute geniuses....

:notbad:

HAHAHAHAHAHHA

Oh man, and the hit is totally clean too. Shoulder-to-shoulder...and both guys had the puck at the time of the hit. AMAZING.

Collateral damage...

They don't have the best prospects anymore. They've declined since their championship days. Their last great pick was perhaps Kronwall. It does not have to be a complete overhaul, just one good blue chipper would help. Detroit has decent prospects, but it's not enough to sustain them because a lot of them (Ouellet, Sproul and Marchenko) are still 5 year projects with only 2nd line upside. They have a plethora of B prospects rather than sure bets. Their only real prospect is nyquist, but detroit has trouble in their blueline. Smith is only decent, and even then it took him 5 years to play 2/3rd line minutes on the blue line. Their drafting is pretty good given how they've given up a lot of first rounders, but they really cannot expect the same amount of success they had from 1998-2003.

word is Howard is close to a 6 year contract worth 5.3M per year. Granted Detroit's defense has been hurting this year, I don't follow them closely and a lot of people seem to think that the only reason Detroit is even in the playoff hunt is because of Howard's play. But I still have trouble accepting that Howard belongs in the elite class of NHL goalies. Is he worth 5.3M per over 6 years to any other teams outside of Detroit?
