Didn't Tamby sign a 2-way? Why is he being waived rather than just sent down to the Moose?

A 2 way deal just means different salary if you get sent down to AHL. NHL Waiver requirements are determined by games played and age.

You're thinking of the simplified EA game rules regarding 2 way contracts.

O'Brien with some words about the coaching staff
http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Brien+fires+parting+shot+Vigneault/3628596/story.html

And in a related transaction, Tootsie's Orchid Lounge in Nashville sent the Roxy Night Club Jack Daniels, Jim Beam and a banjo player to be named later as compensation for the loss of Shane O'Brien.

The Vancouver Canucks traded O'Brien earlier Tuesday for Nashville Predator defenceman Ryan Parent. So ended O'Brien's two-year adventure in Vancouver, and so began another round of Roxy jokes involving the player.

That is how O'Brien is going to be remembered here and it's both funny and sad.

Rarely is a player publicly outed by his team for lifestyle issues and subjected to humiliation as O'Brien was last season by the Canucks.

And it's not often, also, that a capable defenceman with O'Brien's considerable upside is discarded for the benefit of both team and player.

The 27-year-old cleared waivers on Monday. The next day he cleared the air after he was traded to the Predators as the centrepiece of a four-player deal that did little for the Canucks except provide a prospect and potential salary-cap lever.

O'Brien admitted he made mistakes in Vancouver and said it was entirely his fault that he slept in and was late for practice last March after a night out. But he said his transgressions were made worse by coach Alain Vigneault.

"This whole Roxy myth - my first year in Vancouver I did hang out there a little too much," O'Brien said. "Obviously, there's a lot of things I would have done differently.

"But the thing that really made me upset is you look around an organization and there's always stuff that goes on during the year, and they try to keep it behind closed doors. With me, AV just went right to the press and buried me and that made it worse. Everything else that happens on that team, they try to keep internal. But when he had a chance to bury me in the media, he did. He never seemed to have my back. I'd by lying if I said I thought I had a chance with him from Day 1."

O'Brien, whose contract rights the Canucks retained in July with a qualifying offer of $1.6 million US, said he knew before training camp was a week old that Vigneault wasn't going to have him on the team.

"I knew I was in trouble," he said. "I wish I got a little fairer shake in camp. I only played three exhibition games, all on the road, and we flew the day of the game on two of them. And - no disrespect to the players we had in those games - but the three games I played we were nowhere near an NHL-calibre roster. It was the icing on the cake for my career here in Vancouver.

"Last year, I stepped up when we had some injuries and helped our team win the division, and I thought I played with a lot of heart in the playoffs. Every time there was an injury, I'd play well. And when [the injured player] came back, I'd go right back to the bottom of the barrel. It's tough to play in this league when you know if you have a bad night, you're going to the press box. After two years, it was still the same thing. No matter what I did, I didn't seem to stand a chance with that guy."

Almost from the beginning - he was acquired from Florida for defenceman Lukas Krajicek at the start of the 2008-09 season - O'Brien clashed with Vigneault.

He complained about being a healthy scratch his first season here, claiming Vigneault wanted him to fight more. General manager Mike Gillis forced O'Brien to publicly apologize.

Last season, Vigneault forced O'Brien into a crash conditioning program when the defenceman returned from the Olympic break eight pounds heavier, then essentially suspended him with pay a month later after his night at The Roxy.

O'Brien leaves Vancouver no more accomplished than when he arrived. He skates well for someone 6-3 and 230 pounds, willingly fights for teammates and can pass the puck. Yet, he always seemed to be clinging to his lineup spot and was a healthy scratch 16 times last season.

He goes to Nashville with minor-league forward Dan Gendur in exchange for Parent and 29-year-old Swedish rookie Jonas Andersson. The Canucks immediately waived Parent, who has two years and $1.85 million left on his contract, and are expected to assign him to minor-league Manitoba. Andersson is on a one-way $675,000 contract, but does not require waivers to go between the NHL and American League. That could make him useful to the Canucks.

General manager Mike Gillis said O'Brien was given the chance to improve and earn playing time in Vancouver.

"He had his opportunity to come here and make the team and other players played better than him," Gillis told reporters. "We didn't go into this with any predetermined ideas.

"We thought there was a lot of upside with Shane. But we can only do so much in trying to develop players and do the best we can, and at certain points I think Shane needed to try and mature a little bit and get better."

Gillis said the team worked to find another NHL opportunity for O'Brien, who said he was grateful.

"That dressing room is full of great guys," O'Brien said. "The organization is first class all the way. Fans in Vancouver were great to me. But if you're being realistic, there was never any chance I was going to move up [the depth chart] as long as the coaching staff stayed intact. I think it was time for a change."

O'Brien is awaiting documentation required to work in the U.S. and hopes to travel to Nashville Thursday or Friday. The Predators open their season Saturday.

Vigneault won't miss O'Brien. Trading him is better for Vigneault than quitting smoking. The Canucks, however, may miss O'Brien's toughness. The Roxy will miss the publicity.

re: SOB and AV

lol, I still can't picture AV yelling at anyone. He always has that

Like Quenneville looks like he can bitch at players. And we all know Tortorella bitches at everyone.


;7133190']True...

Yeah... definitely true...
considering Bieksa never gets put in the doghouse.
How does someone so shitty stay on team for so long.

[Ch28]

I can't disagree with anything that SOB said in that interview.

He knew there were times where he fucked up and admitted it before and admitted it again during the interview. He played well for us during the playoffs and has always been one of the few dependable guys that will stick up for other teammates.

AV rides Biekshit just as much as Crow use to ride Cloutier as long as humanly possible regardless of their piss poor performance.

Disappointed to see him go but I can't really say I'm surprised.

[WhatTheShit]

Biekshit has a fat contract and hard to move around, on the other hand obrien had a 1.6 mil or smth.

I wish oneday biekshit gets waived or traded

[Harvey Specter]

I can feel my blood pressure raising hearing "Biekshit".

I'm not shocked that SOB would call out AV. No doubt there was bad blood between the two last season and I think in AV's prefect little world he would have loved to see SOB traded last season. Darcy's another player who I think AV wanted off the team, wasn't it Darcy who called out AV when AV supposedly told Darcy to fight during a game last season?

I'm on the fence about SOB. I didn't like him at first (one stupid penalty after another), but he did seem like a great teammate, and got better. If the coach didn't like him, I guess he's better off with another team where he will hopefully play more?

Hordichuk traded to Florida for Andrew Peters.

hahahah Peters is absolutely useless, being a Sabres fan and watching him for all those years :( Thank god, he'll be sent directly to Manitoba or loaned to another AHL team

[raygunpk]

Yeah Peters is bad lol, but he's on a two way deal which saves the owners about 700k while he's in the minors. And it keeps Hordichuk in the NHL which is a good gesture.

Also able to him up/down freely if we're playing a team that's gunna try to rough us up.

He said he's ready to go but the team doesn't want to rush him back when they don't necessarily need him right away. He said that he'd probably get a different answer if they were in the playoffs though.

Said that there are plenty of quality guys on the team that can step in and fill his shoes while he's resting. He's thrilled at the quality of depth this year's team has compared to previous seasons and thinks all the hype that they've received is great motivation for them to perform to their full potential.

Canucks sign Peter Schaefer
Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks President & General Manager Mike Gillis announced today that the Canucks have signed left wing Peter Schaefer. In keeping with club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Schaefer, 33, registered three points (1-2-3) in five pre-season games with Vancouver and finished plus-1. The Yellow Grass, SK native has collected 259 points (98-161-259) in 556 NHL games played with Vancouver, Ottawa and Boston.

The left winger was originally drafted by Vancouver, 66th overall in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft.

If you guys haven't realized.. CoHo was sent down to Manitoba.

Source: Vancouver Sun


The Vancouver Canucks have sent rookie forward Cody Hodgson to the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League.

Hodgson, Vancouver's first-round pick in the 2008 draft, practised with the Canucks this morning at UBC before heading to the airport.

He is en route to Peoria, Ill., where the Moose open their regular season on Friday night.

"I am excited to get playing some games again," Hodgson said. "It should be good to get in some games and do the things I have grown up loving to do and that's getting on the ice and playing hockey."

Forwards Tanner Glass and Rick Rypien returned to practice today. Glass, who has been battling strep throat, is expected to play in the Canucks' regular-season opener on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Kings. Rypien, who is recovering from a collar-bone fracture will need a few more days before he returns to the lineup.

It is looking like the Canucks will not name their team captain until just before Saturday night's game. Henrik Sedin is expected to receive the C and the announcement could come in pre-game introductions.

this has got to be one of the better opening nights to the NHL i've ever seen.

[Roach]

Yikes knocked out!

Edmonton is business this year.

Fucking DROPPED

[Ronin]

OUCH...that dude on the Flames just got fucking rocked.

[rsx]

Damn Pens lost to a noob rookie goalie of the Flyers. What a shitty start to open a new arena.

There's a lot of love for Brobovsky, I wouldn't say he's a noob. He'll push Boucher for the #1 job for sure.

[JKam]

wow Edmonton with a shutout on their first game. crazy.

[Euro7r]

Pisssed. Damn kipper got his ass raped 4-0. Not a good start for my hockey pool goalie.

what sucks is as cool as it is for most of us to see that fight, and as 'every day' as KOs have become with watching MMA/etc, that is a BAD thing for fighting in the NHL

[!Nhan]

Ivanans NEVER wins a fight

[6thGear.]

I picked up Eberle as my rookie in my pool....damn, he's gonna get me some points!

[Not really racist!]

poor him..

that KO came so sudden

[jigga250]

Wheres Tegra Devil? His team got fucking worked by a bunch of rookies and their supposed "tough guy" got KTFO. Absolutely owned on all levels.

So much for undefeated in the preseason, LOL

Haha, I would love to see the faces of the Lames fans about now. Makes me chuckle to think that they were beaking all the 'Nucks fans at preseason games.

[AzNightmare]

Wow Eberle's goal was nice. What impressed me most was he kept the puck on that drag
while the Dman lying on his stomach had his stick flush on the ice.... how did he do that??
Did he sneak it under the stick? went around the stick? popped it over?? couldn't see clearly..

[chouchou]

i dont think the dman was flush to the ice - his stick is at an upwards angle when he realizes eberle snuck it under..... either that or hes just magical, and teleported the puck through the dman :D
lmao, nonethleess fucking sick goal. props for makin highlight reels everywhere on his debut.

[Razor Ramon HG]

That Eberle goal was amazing. He went to the backhand so fast I had to watch the replay four times to even see it.

[Harvey Specter]

Always nice to see the Flamers get spanked.

[Ronin]

I've said it before...Jordan Eberle is a Canadian hero. I don't care if he plays for the Oilers...I'll cheer for that guy. You know he's going to do some sort of ridiculous shit every time.

[Gh0stRider]

Haha Turco. Fail!

With regards to that fight, I must admit it was awesome the moment Ivanans got knocked out, but seconds after, you're concerned about his health. Nice to see that Macintyre stopped immediately and didn't "showboat" afterwards.

Yeah for sure man.

Like the commentator said, its definitely not easy to be one of the enforcers of the league, being expected to fight every game for your team. Mad respect and hope he's alright.

amazing night for eberle! battle of alberta was completely one sided last season. this season edmonton is going to be much better it appears :thumbsup:


oh, and yeah, turco sucks :lol

[6thGear.]

Exactly the same words Hall used in his interview..haha
When a rookie scores his first goal in such a nice fashion, pretty much means he's nhl ready from game 1. No, feeling the pace, or game or showing any nervousness....

Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

Are you talking about your hockey pool or in general? I picked him as my rookie in my pool. I passed over Hall and picked Eberle even though the mags picked hall to win the calder.

[Gh0stRider]

@sportsnetmurph: As we knew was going to happen: Bolduc, Tambellini and Schneider re-called to Van. All will practice today.

[trancehead]

future looks bright in Edmonton. Cant say the same about Calgary:)

[Vinny G]

I love Eberle's game and flashiness but come on. In no way is he a better prospect than Hall. I fully expect Hall to start racking up the points by year end with a chance that Eberle outscores him this year. For the rest of their careers, Hall will put up more points than Eberle every season.

For this year, I'm expecting something like

Hall: 20G-35A-55P
Eberle: 24G-20A-44P

+/- 10 pts

I'm not basing this after one game, it's what I thought all along. If you watched the world juniors (where all 3 of them played and eberle was the best amongst them) and looked at what eberle has done in the WHL and AHL, it's fairly evident eberle is more ready to step in. Hall's good, but he's also 2 years younger than Jordan. Maybe hall has a higher ceiling but imo, it's eberle's time right now.

[Hondaracer]

lol oh god, the TSN sportcenter oilers package with all the players hating on Eberle's goal is gold, they had me sold

SCORE 1 GOAL

BE CALLED OBVIOUS WINNER

[rsx]

Paajarvi's got a real solid looking future in the NHL. He has size and hands. Reminds me of Bert. He just needs to work on foot speed. Eberle looks like he'll get laid out sooner than later and suffer concussion problems.

wow I saw that on NHL on the Fly. I hope he's ok. This reminds me a lot of a buddy of mine, Darcy Robinson, who suddenly collapsed on the ice with no contact and no warning. he ended up passing away with heart complications at 26 years old. I really hope the best for Pavelec.

I'll cut out the best part:


Bertuzzi: "Why are you always so hard on me, saying $%#@! about me on radio?"

Larscheid: "Because I have very high standards for you. I think you're a great player. But I want you to be great every night, not just once in a while."

Bertuzzi: "Why did you say I was a floater?"

Larscheid: "I never said you were a floater."

Bertuzzi: "Well, what did you say?"

Larscheid: "I said you were a candy-ass."

Bertuzzi stormed away, beaten, while teammates close enough to have heard the conversation wet themselves laughing.

[fliptuner]

It looks like Pavelec is going to be alright. Conscious, alert and stable.
