Can anyone provide clarity as to why Markstrom cannot be sent to Utica before season starts? Does he only have a 1-way contract?

You need to cut down on that stuff, it damages brain cells.

I listen in between calls for 15 minutes ate a time four times a day and on the ride in and home.

Meh, you guys are overblowing the Miller thing IMO. The facts are that the Sedin's are still our best players. If you get a good supporting cast and a goalie that can steal games you're still giving your team a chance at the holy grail. Also, it goes a long way in establishing credibility as a franchise and possibly attracting players in the future.

If the youth is only ready to play in 3 years, there will be some growing pains then and there will be another McDavid to draft.

She was quite striking but in some ways a bit goat like.

Oh you romantic, you (pssst, why don't you just fess up - 'she' was in fact an actual goat, wasn't she? and you hooked up because of your insatiable appetite for quality cheese. Am I right or am I right?

I barely noticed him even when he was on. Granted, he was stuck playing with Sestito who is just an awful NHL player.

I was never impressed either.

Actually, I liked her Yaprak Sarma. And the Karmyarik was great.

Just curious. What is the difference between a transgender and a crossdresser?

One wants to keep his dink wrapped up in nice silk panties and the other wants to lop off his dink

There is a calculator on cap geek. He played in his 2010 2011 year a game, therefore he is not exempt. You can punch in the info for yourself.

"Karmyarik" = wild sex

I had a Turkish co-worker who would always bring in some fantastic Turkish eats which he'd share

I don't think Miller signing here is a terrible idea. Not my first choice, but I am not GM of the Canucks either. I am more worried about the term just because of Miller's history with contracts. He was paid A LOT of money prior to being bought out and even if he is aging it doesn't mean he says, "Sure I'll take a pay cut to not win a cup".

I am hoping for somewhere around 2-3 years @ 4.5mil per. In all honesty, if I was GM I would be more worried about making a better second line first though. 2nd worst GF next to Buffalo? That was the most vomit worthy stat imo.

We have some kids that want to play here and now all we need is them to score but I don't want to put everything behind that. At least one vet would be nice. Iggy would be the best but I highly doubt he signs here. I hope he does considering he scored 60 points last year and has played almost every game in the last 8 seasons. Man is a beast. His age doesn't scare me one bit unless they throw a big term at him but I doubt Benning is that dumb.

1) Cody Blows. One of the worst defensive players i've ever seen
2) No... i have had a turkish delight though (it's a candy vantel!)
3) nay.... do you think he had that poster in his own locker?
4) why not... need some kind of entertainment at canucks games

I wonder if he can be loaned to a team to go play in Europe and we are able to still retain his rights.

Why even mention a forgone conclusion?

The real question is: Can Canada will gold without Corrado in the line up?

Corrado will be a player/coach for that team, he's that good.

I think if we have the money it is ok to chase a few vet players. I want to still see Higgins moved out and another trade.

I want them to chase Bostons Krug Johnson or Smith.

What I don't want them to do is, sit and do nothing with 17 mil in their wallets.I don't want to go long term on Moulsen or Vanek.

Miller Lack tandem would be solid goaltending. Iggy to me is better than both Sedins IMO ,but let's leave that for another blog.
