Right handed shot... Fast... Should be affordable.

It's clear some of you guys follow the team more than you follow players.

Bonino is a great pickup and you guys are slamming him as 3rd line material.

That's the real head shaker.

Bonino will be our 2nd line C, they have already said that.

Uh.. RT @News1130Sports: Miller told Liut 3 weeks ago, Van was high on his list, says he was well received by fans at the Olympics in 2010.

FFS nobody knew in 2010 that he wanted to play for the Canucks.

Have learned Zack Kassian's agent will not accept the #Canucks qualifying offer - he goes to camp essentially without a contract.
- LeftCoaster

Which camp? Training camp? An agreement can still be reached before then. Unless there's another new CBA rule I'm unaware of.

Arbitration is an option. I don't think it will go that far. A deal will get done. Who is his agent?

Obviously they(kassian's camp) are not gonna accept 850/year, but giving him that offer allows the Canucks to retain his rights, I think he gets 2ish. Doubt he gets offer sheeted though.

I don't see how he can demand more than 2+ per as a RFA. What exactly has he done statistically to earn that?

Outside of statistics I can think of Gagner and Bolland.

Agreed. Based on his body of work he should be earning 3rd line money, which would make sense at 2-2.5m.

News 1130 Sports:


6 teams have called the agent for Tanner Glass - 4-5 teams for Willie Mitchell.

Dreger said he does not expect the Leafs to go beyond $25 million over five years, which he believes will not be enough to keep Bolland from the open market.

@ Both of these statements.

As a UFA, sure. But he has very little leverage as an RFA. 2 Million max. Play hardball and motivate him to have a good year.

If he gets offer sheeted for more than $1,682,194 we have the option of matching or declining and get compensation of a second rounder. If he gets OSed for $ 3,364,391 or more we can match or decline and get a 1st and 3rd. If he doesn't get an OS he continues to play under his old contract.

Here's to hoping that Kass gets OSed by BUff for 3,364,391. Top 5 pick and we don't have to suck for it.

Gonna be a busy day tomorrow for some teams. Montreal, Tampa and us. I wonder what caused the sudden push to get rid of gorges he was better than Markov.

Buff, Leafs or Isles and we get a lottery pick.

Kaptaan is responsible for everything wrong on this site.

He does push our buttons, more than any Leaf or Oiler troll.
