We shall see how he does in LA. Might be suspended frequently. could crash and burn under Sutter too. Wouldnt be surprised, the team hates the coach and cant imagine Lucic is that diplomatic

if he crashes and burns this summer then we can get him for Burrows money

Whoever, I don't know who might be available. Internal hire, ideally. Putting aside my distaste for the player, my biggest concern would be that he gets paid on reputation but his play degrades quite fast, which isn't unheard of with power forwards.

Put it this way Kopitar and Ladd will be locked up before , after that Doan Staal Vrbata and Lucic are the big names

Abdelkader, Backes, Yandle, Brouwer, Staal, and Seabrook are all guys I would sign before Lucic if I had the choice. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see Lucic on the team though.

People love you till they hate you. I see no reason why it can't be the case the other way around.

The first thing I thought when I heard Lucic said he always wanted to play for the Canucks, was when was the last time we heard a top 6 player say this? Especially while under contract to another team.


I am not the biggest Lucic fan, but I think this is great, even if it is just talk.

Backes will be signed before UFA, Seabrooke Yandle are D but yes. Abdekeder next tier down same as the aging Brouwer.

Screw the big names. We should be in the business of developing unknowns into big names, not overpaying current ones who then block the way for a younger player.

I'm only in favor of signing Lucic if Miller is still on the team, otherwise, no thanks.

We have no where near 6 top 6 players ready in the next 3 years to replace the current.

Of course , just to piss off Nucker

speaking of contracts.....makes you miss gillis a bit...in a way. He could sign guys for way less than just about anyone. Just ban him from the NTCs. and dont let him trade!!

So put gillis on signings and benning on Drafting and someone else on trades....Maybe JB on trades too if he improves. GM by committee

I just think that 1 guy to run it all in all departments at the level we expect is dreaming. Most GMs suck at something. So why not divide it into strengths?

Well Miller has 2 years left on his deal and Lucic is a UFA after this year...

I wouldn't be upset if Lucic was signed for Burrows money.
