Edler has played some very solid hockey most of this year.

Baertschi Bo Brock
Jokinen Gaudette Vanek
Gaunce Sutter Archibald

Going to be a great year.

That's what Canucks need players playing to their potential . I wont use games after TDL as an indication of next year but I do hope it will be a good year
- VANTEL

If next years going to be better we badly need an upgrade on D. Stecher Pouliot and Hutton just aren't cutting it. Time to ditch one at the draft for whatever we can get, then sign or trade for an NHL Dman. It would certainly be nice to have Juolevi make the team next year but I think theres a good chance he goes to the AHL for a year.

If Sautner is for real the OJ can play on the Comets and be first call up.

And of course we get to keep Loui

Goldy has been playing some good hockey
- VANTEL

Goldobin looks like he's starting to figure out how to play at this level. Possibly makes Baertschi expendable. Perhaps Canucks can sign Sven for a reasonable cap hit and then move him to a team that has a surplus of D prospects but needs middle-six scoring depth.

Don't really know which teams have a logjam of good young D guys. Nashville? Philly? Calgary?

I think we have probably seen the last of Hutton and Tanev . It's going to be an interesting summer . Canucks can make some hay

We need too send motte down, he's jeopardizing the tank.

The only great reason to not sign the twins is because they'd jeopardize the tank.
I dont want to tank next year. Anyone who doesn't want the twins back next year is hoping that we're a bottom 5 team.... again.
I'm calling for playoffs next year, contingent on a top three pick this season, OJ, Petterson, Dahlen, Dahlin all making the team by out playing players that we lose on waivers (hutton, strech, Dowd, Sven, motte) and picking up Kane for 5x5.... and Taveres for 1x 14.5 (who then signs long term for below market value because he believes in this team).

Taney and granlund to mtl for 4- 2nds

I have 6 players I would like Van to draft in the second round. Id settle for 5 of them.

If Sautner is for real the OJ can play on the Comets and be first call up.
- VANTEL

That doesn't solve the problem though, standing pat on D is the worst thing that they could do

I don't know if they're ready to bail on Hutton. It would be selling low on a young asset which they can ill-afford to do. I don't think they'd bother sitting him and lowering his trade value if they were planning to dump him.

Management obviously thought highly enough of him to sign him to a fairly big paycheque but, since Green showed up, there's been an adjustment of expectations. I think they've decided to take action on his stalled development and implemented the tough-love plan that Virtanen's been on the last couple of years.

Last season 7 players over 80 points. This season isn't over yet and 16 players over 80.

2.8 to sit in the press box is a waste of good cap space. Pudge would need a real stong summer. He is being surpassed on the depth charts

Picking up Sautner is not standing pat .

So TSN1040 reported that the Sedin's had a secret meeting with Management. Their reporting was a little laughable as they said the meeting was EITHER about a retirement celebration for the last game at the end of the season or about a return next year.

Talk about covering all your bases....

He has infected foot., could that be gout? If so he is probably finished.
