question, when Taylor Pyatt scored 23 goals playing for Vancouver under Vigneault several years back, who were his usual linemates?
- jimbro83


Who do you think? There are only 2 players that could make him a 23 goal scorer.

Luongo won't be bought out. If Gillis is serious about trading him then there will be a lot of teams lining up to try get him. Luongo is still the best goalie in the game when he wants to so 29 other GM's would love to acquire him. Comes down to whichever team can put together the best package.

A lot of Canuck fans are still on edge about the possibility of Torts becoming the head coach.

"I am hearing"...love it. Someone in here writes it and it becomes a rumour.

It can't be challenged since it's part of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

So true. It got mentioned in passive as more of a joke by someone once (Possibly Vantel, if not i apologise Vantel) now it's an official rumour.

I am also hearing from my sources it is NOT Schenn for JVR, i repeat, NOT Schenn for JVR.

I am not on edge about Torts. I think he would be good short term.

We have two years to buy him out . We should keep him this year and buy him out next year . Let the new goalie Eriksson and Lack develop one more year.

Trade Schneider.

F?ck no!
The Canucks need another Taylor Pyatt like they need anouther hole in the head.

- IanEsplen

Guys, get a grip you'd be lucky to get him for Lou. When will you let this pipe dream go?

Dude...

We can bag on ian and talk about lu's value, but this is ridiculous.

If u as a gm didnt take that trade, you'd deserved to be fired on the spot

- hugefemale dog77

The point being taking on another albatross contract. I see what you're saying though.

Florida finally gets a number 1 goalie in Luongo, a solid veteran blue liner in Ballard and can sign Raymond. Really fills a lot of needs for Florida.
Canucks get a good defensive prospect in Gudbranson. Bjugstad is a project but could be a good 3rd or 4th liner. And Florida's first round pick could possibly turn into a good player but it's not a guarantee. Both teams benefit and fill their needs and it's fair.

and you say islander fans crack you up?

Inaccurate. I believe Luongo can be traded, I just believe Vancouver is a too respectable franchise to do it. But Luongo COULD be traded, it would just take a deal something like:

Vancouver gives:
Luongo
1st Round Draft Pick 2013
1st Round Draft Pick 2014

Buffalo gives:
4th Round Draft Pick 2014
John Scott

Pegula is crazy and rich, he would be happy to basically buy a couple first round picks from Vancouver for the cost of 20 million or whatever Luongo's buyout would cost him right after the trade.

- Antilles

Why would Vancouver do that when they can get Nino, Grudanson, and every top prospect in the NHL for Lou and his contract?

Lu is better than Miller? Lu is more accomplished than Miller? Who did your homework?

Miller is a Vezina winner sir! Bobby-lu? I think not!!

As for Bernier.....of course Lu is more accomplished....he's over a decade older! As for being better....time will only tell.

What a horrible blog....sorry...but whoa!!!
