You do realize you are paying part of that salary into his 40's right?

still better than paying his full ticket to sit as the backup to Cory first and then Eddie.

it's the lesser of two evils really

Not really. The smart move was to trade Schneider before the situation got out of hand. I'd prefer to have Lou and his lower cap hit than Miller right now.

The cap recapture penalties could be a major issue if Lou retires early. Gillis mis-managed the entire situation.

That being said, Horvat is really starting to look great.

you're not going to get nucks fans to admit they were the laughing stock of the league the way the nucks handled their goalie situation, don't bother.

definitely could have been handled better, but at the end of the day the Canucks have Horvat who looks like he'll be a solid #2 NHL centre with not much of a drop off in their goaltending. I can live with that as being an embarrassment

31 year old underachieving UFA. No thanks, keep him in your press box.

Does anyone else judge how old they are in relation to hockey players being too old? Man, this comment cuts like a knife.

Most Canucks fans (myself included) do admit and have admitted in the past that Gillis and ownership botched the goalie situation. With that in mind, I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.

I don't think that will sink in, perhaps I should speak in a language you are more familiar with............

LOLO!!!!!!!! Vantel thought....blah blah blah who gives a flying (frank).

And talking about a team being the "laughing stock" of the league - you think you'd show some level of sympathy seeing as though you are a Leaf fan.

Anyone here believing the Canucks would trade Kassian for Bergenheim should immediately drive to the nearest hospital and check yourself into the mental ward.

FYI not all hospitals have mental wards.
