He earned 3.5M last year IIRC. If he turns out to have great chemistry with Kes, it'd be a steal. Only time will tell..

He makes more than Burrows, has a greater injury risk and is not strong along the boards. Not a huge amount of upside on this guy. I'd rather go after a guy like JP Dumont if I needed someone like Sturm.

He is risky, but his salary would be around the same as Sturm. I'd rather have a natural RW at this point. Dumont played on a very defensive team too, so his numbers are skewed and he is a better passer than Sturm. Feel free to put your numbers in too, I don't mind hockey debates.

Yup, it's great that Gillis isn't getting caught up in overpaying for some of these guys but we still need someone solid to paly with Kes.

I also think 1.75 was totally reasonable for Torres, which we should've paid. If we wanted more grit, resigning him was a step in the right direction.

Baumgartner has been in the Canucks farm team FOREVER, and this includes after he gets traded and brought back. He clearly does not mind being an AHLer for life.

After he signed that big contract with Philly and then got sent down to the farm and eventually traded back to the Canucks, they interviewed him in Manitoba about it and he said "I don't mind, I'm getting paid to play hockey."

Which is the good mindset to have.

But I'm surprised he doesn't try to play over in Europe where he could get paid more.

If he puts up at least 20 goals this season then I guess it wouldn't been a bad deal. I guess people are hating because we already have players like Sturm (ie. Samuelsson, Raymond, etc).

If you look at what the teams in the West did over the past week, did any team actually improve? I would say that only Chicago did which means they'll challenge Detroit for top spot in the Central. Sure, LA has Richards, but you know what? They don't have any wingers to play with their centres.

Lots of people knocking the Sturm signing. Here is his scouting report from NHL Forecaster.

ASSETS: Has excellent speed and puck-handling skills. Possesses good hockey sense and sees the ice very well. His speed makes him a special-teams weapon. Plays well in all three zones.

FLAWS: Isn't overly big and can get pushed around. Hasn't put up the numbers expected of him in his career. Doesn't show a lot of offensive consistency. Is injury-prone.

CAREER POTENTIAL: Speedy, yet fragile veteran winger.

The cap floor is around where the ceiling was after the lockout - didn't take long. Now you have teams handing out ridiculous contracts just to reach the cap floor. Good job NHL. :facepalm:

It's a much healthier league that's bringing in more money than before.

NHL Revenue:
2005-06 1.8B
2010-11 2.9B

Plus, under the CBA, players get 57% of league revenue, and any excess goes into escrow. So who cares what the salary numbers are? And with the cap, you don't get 3-4 teams spending to buy a cup. Instead, you have to earn it by managing your team properly. Great job NHL. :thumbsup:

It's a good thing that we're status quo. We were 1 win away from winning Lord Stanley. Why would MG need to completely change the roster? We just need a few minor tweaks, nothing more.

status quo does not always pan out. Philly was 2 wins away in 2010 and look at what happened to them the following year.

Brad Richards agree to terms with New York Rangers on nine-year, $58.5 million contract.

la top 6 = richards, brown, kopitar, williams, penner and one of their good young forwards(moeller/kozun). centres dont always have to play centre. their top 6 is pretty dam good.

Penner is useless. He had one good year in Anaheim's run to the finals and has had a half-season of good hockey ever since. They traded arguably one of their best prospects (Schenn) and a gritty heart-and-soul player (Simmonds) for Richards which is a toss-up in terms of value.

Everyone needs to relax. Besides, after last season, I don't care about what the Canucks do in the regular season so long as they make the playoffs playing well (whether that means a lower or higher seed - it doesn't matter.)

status quo does not always pan out. Philly was 2 wins away in 2010 and look at what happened to them the following year.

You're right it doesn't. In the summer of 1994, we traded for Alex Mogilny, but we got bounced in the 2nd round. But Philly's problems last year were goaltending and a division in the locker room between Pronger and Richards. As far as I know, we don't have any divisions in the locker room and we still have the league's best goaltending duo.

After all the ridiculous money being thrown around lately, Brad Richards at 6.5Mil Cap Hit isnt that bad at all

[murd0c]

I don't understand why everyone is so pissed off why Gillis didn't want to make some big moves. Honestly I'm happy he didn't, in order to make a splash he would of had to over pay for a decent player for a ridiculous length contract. So he signed Sturm good hes a decent player and we didn't pay much for him. If it works awesome but if it doesn't it's only one year and we can always trade him as well.

Team's over paying right now are only handicapping them selves for years to come and remember our core is signed we just need a couple pieces which Gillis will still work on which will benefit us in the future and not the player.

I never said that he would need to blow up the team. I think its pretty obvious, the team just needs some minor additions. All I meant mainly was the West is going to be a harder place to play in. It's going to be a grind next year compared to last.

Honestly, it's a win win situation for us in signing Sturm. If he plays to the way he was before, and he clicks with Kesler or any other players. We gain. If he sucked and skated slower than Marc Choinard, then we'll just waive his ass and have Aquilini pay for his salary to play for the Wolves.

Plus, I don't know what's the fuss with losing Torres? Whether the Canucks were pushed around or not, Torres didn't do anything to push back. He doesn't even kill penalties.

I'm probably glad that we lost players like Glass and Torres because our bottom six needs more of players who can actually play more offensive and can allow us to skate end to end.

i smell a trade in our future.. our need for a legitimate top 6 forward is rather large.

as true as this is. i'm still curious to see what mg does with coho. been 4 years since he's been drafted. the rest of his class is already at least 2 years into their nhl careers, if not played right after being drafted. given that some of those teams were in desperate need of players to fill roster/add talent. mg needs to decide what to do with coho. either work him into the line up, give him solid minutes along with decent line mates to prove his worth, or trade him while he's still considered an asset still. he's literally rotting sitting in the minors for so long.

it used to not bother me so much because he was still a prospect and we had forwards to fill his position. i assumed pretty soon he would have a full time spot in the line up. looks like this season he'll be playing shit minutes on the 4th line for us once and a while and having fun in the AHL again.

just my 0.02

[woob]

It's because our team is stacked down the middle right now. Hank -> Kes -> Manny -> Lappy . CoHo just doesn't have a spot as an offensive centreman right now.

[shawn79]

our center is wayyy too stacked all 4 centermen can win big faceoffs even if it is after 2 yrs when lappy and malhotra contract expires...

I kinda feel bad for Coho, there's no room for a centre in the top 6 for another 5 years unless he's willing to play on the wing. The kid isn't necessarily gonna be a bust imo, but i just don't see him living up to the expectations that people initially had.
