1)need guys like gagner/weal to not rush young guys. Both good work ethic guys.

2) Elias has exceptional attitude, working with staff in Van right after draft to make plan to gain weight bit Elite skill/hands

3)Looked for offense and guys with great attitude, mentionsd palmu and dipietro had this in spades.

THAts what I remember off my dome, I listened yesterday.

much appreciated!

Honestly though, if the Flames sign Justin Williams and Mike Smith gives them decent goaltending, they'll be pretty good next year.

Williams Old man body cant keep up what it has been doing.

He's a great playoff addition though. Timely scoring at big moments.

Yeah, he's gotta slow down eventually, but if he has another 20 goal season in him then he's worth it. Plus he's definitely clutch as hell in playoff games.

Carolina had to retain 50% on Lack lol

Another PO but not much more IMO

Definitely worth another shot even though he's fragile as (frank). Guy looked real gud in his short stint in the AHL before he got injured again.
- Nucker101

great player. Guys got serious hockey IQ. Speed like crazy. Fragile no....just had a 1 bad knee injury that keeps flaring up.

Sometimes surgeons miss stuff or leave a lot of scaring that causes issues. See it all the time in my own practice

The fact Lack can't return is the best news of the month

Looks like Christmas came a day early



Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger·16m

Jordan Weal avoids free agency and resigns with the Philadelphia Flyers. Two year contract.

-------------------------------------------------
Maybe JB was only willing to give a one year show me or Weal saw winning was better with Flyers.

I just hope this doesn't mean JB is giving Gagner a pay day offer to play with rebuilding Canucks.

Gagner will have better teams coming after him. If he signs in Vancouver, for whatever reason, we can just consider it his fault.

Gagner isn't signing in Van unless JB really over paid. Why would he? He did enough last year to garner a better option.

I would be totally fine if we signed nothing but a budget D & G on short term.

That will complete must have list. How about Grigorenko on a show me contract?

Yeah hope that means Hawks or Pens to give him pay day and no big contract from JB.

Benning:

"Jordan, we envision you centering a line of Jayson Megna and Brendan Gaunce"



*phone rings*



Weal:

"Hey Hexy, it's your good buddy Jordan here, I think I'm ready to sign that contract"

Guess he visited Vancouver and Weally didn't like us
- Nucker101

He was just using the Canucks to get a free trip to visit him family and friends.
