Willie is dead to me now Another Luongo favourite

Lu is going to request to come back to Canucks

Wash is going to regret that Niskanen deal!

WOW the Capitals throwing around the money

Willie in retirement mode now

He will rip sh!t up now that there are no expectations tied to his salary.

Low risk for sure but I'm not too sure he has it in him anymore. Time will tell I suppose.

As @aaronward_nhl reported on TSN, Willie Mitchell's AAV in FLA is $4.25M on a two-year deal.

Mitchell is a panther

I expected more for Niskanen. Good deal for the Caps. Orpik deal not so much.

Yeah, I'll take the Niskanen and Stralman deals easily over the Orpik one.

Worst D deal: Orpik
Worst F deal: Bolland
Worst G deal: Miller

Craig Mactavish just compared the oilers to the blackhawks

Dream on bud......

Honestly what do we have to lose. 6 mill is a little steep but I dont have a huge problem with the signing..

"Nill says time in Detroit with Yzerman-Fedorov and Datsyuk-Zetterberg showed you need top-end talent at 1C/2C to be elite."

Yup - preach it Jimmy Nill

My problem is that Eddie Lack is currently 26, so in three years he will be 29, and unless Miller is okay playing second fiddle for years 2 and 3 then I think its an absolute waste of two years of potential #1 Eddie Lack. I would rather see us trade Eddie now or next summer if the plan is to stick with Miller until he's done

Did he happen to say the 2005 Blackhawks? Then yes, that's pretty accurate.

I think Dallas will take over as the dominant force in the West in a couple years

Maybe Lack is not part of Bennings long term thoughts

Dallas, LA, Anaheim, Chicago, Colorado, St. Louis. That leave the rest of the conference to battle for 2 spots if (heaven forbid) edmontons young guns don't figure it out. Canucks best days are done, we are completely (frank)ed and no one wants to sign here. Miller isn't that bad of a FA pickup considering the rest of the league knows this team is or will be poop in the near future & won't come here willingly. 7-10 year rebuild after Miller is done, unless Benning is a magic man.
