Hi,

A quick snapshot of everything happening around the league today, and a look at the Canucks' change in the roles of their goaltending coaches, in the new blog:

Cap space vs. TT

I understand cap space gives you more flexibility but in a cap system that puts heavy reliance on drafting a developing it hurts to have to trade a 21 year old 18th overall pick just to free up a couple of mill.

I meant from Carolina's perspective. They were able to absorb Bickell's cap hit and the got a good young player for cheap because of it.

That's the thing, I never ever see our fans account for everyone else's players and teams getting better. The Canucks were 21 points behind Nashville for the first Wild Card spot, 12 points behind Minny for the last one.

There were FOUR teams in between the last playoff spot and the Canucks, and all those teams are improving IMO. Colorado, Phoenix, Winnipeg & Calgary are all young and improving teams.

Not to mention the top teams, Dallas, Chicago, Nashville, St. Louis in the central. LA, SJ & Anaheim in the West....Canucks haven't got a chance of catching ANY of those teams IMO.
