Heatley just made a trade request to come west, do the Canucks entertain? Even if they wanted to, is it possible to fit him in with the Sedins?
I heard a rumor that Gaborik bought a house in Vancity!!
I am very interested in what Gillis is going to do. It appears to me that he and the bobsy twins agent are playing a bit of chicken.
They want an uber-long term deal with major frontloading on the cash side of the deal.
The Nucks would probably do a 7 or 8 year deal in that fashion, but not 12 FFS.
Gaborik is an interesting cat. part of me thinks that the injury routine over the last 4 years has been a bit of him trying to get traded out of Minny.
He is explosive, exciting, adn the closest thing to Pavel Bure in the "New" NHL (Ovie is better and more physical than Bure ever dreamed of being)
I also know that he is tight with Demitra, and that could go a long way to him joining up here.
We still have to see what happens up until the draft. The Canucks are supposedly one of the teams alot of the other clubs with star players on albatross contracts are talking to. If the TB Lightning ownership situation gets any clearer there just might be some clarity on what happens to LeCavalier. Same in Philly with their stars, and Gomez in the Big apple.
It will be a fun late June/early July in Canuck land, that's for sure.
Probably because you have a cap hit of $7mill for years 10-20.
You think so Dude? Really?In ten years the Cap will be higher than now.
Are you working for the TEAM 1040? What you wrote sounds a lot like the stuff one of the talking heads was spouting last week.
The Cap hit is the total amount of money divided by number of years. Cap hit is not what you pay per year.
Franchise. The Twins are 28. 28 + 20 is 48, in case you failed to notice, there aren't many NHL'ers playing at that age, and certainly not for 1 mill per.
