With Gomez unceremoniously dumped, what's the C depth in Montreal now?

Plekanec, Desharnais, Eller... ?

So TSN radio ended up with the Leafs radio rights? I thought TSN and The Fan were going to split them


And I guess no more Andy Frost Leafs talk?

Edit - Seems TSN radio has 24 games on the radio......despite their radio ads making it seem like they have all of them

Nokelainen is the fourth line centre, but he may be injured. The centre depth is pretty weak if Gally is in the OHL, a bunch of guys who could fill in on the fourth line.

700k to give who used to be a pretty good defensemen one more shot, why not? We can dump him in the minors if he doesn't look good during try outs and gives us a backup 7th dman

Gillis says the new CBA has added to the interest in #Luongo. He has not talked to any teams about keeping a portion of contract. #canucks

Farhan Lalji ‏@FarhanLaljiTSN
Gillis "its a very friendly contract" there's been a lot of interest. "We want very specific types of players" Wont be pressured to move him

Gillis on the battle to replace Kesler, "The spot isn't going to be vacant for a very long time" #canucks

Canucks have a history of turning players people have no faith in anymore (Ehrhoff, Lapierre, Higgins, etc) and turning them into better players.

Also it's a 7th man spot, not a top 4 d-man spot. Different approach to the game.

Are you done bandwagoning the Broncos now?

Er, Wellwood had the worst seasons of his career with the Canucks.

There's no bandwagoning. It was a full conversion from Colts when Manning moved.

How about them Packers/Bears? :p

so you merely transported your fanaticism to some other team, almost as if using some type of wheeled device. the name escapes me though....

I thought the Preds only lost Suter, and they have Ryan Ellis eventually in the wings (maybe not this year)
Click to expand...

Ryan Ellis, Jon Blum, Roman Josi, Mattias Ekholm. Preds are stocked with prospects, but you're asking a lot of kids to replace a lot of big Suter minutes.

Preds are a playoff threat, calling them a cup threat before game 1 of the season is a stretch.

Don't you guys have three goalies and need to get rid of Bryz?

Actually, BWG I'm curious, do you think Bryz is a good goalie, was a good goalie or played in a system that made him look good?

Bryz is fine. He clearly had some issues at certain points last year which could have been due to injuries/being a headcase. That said, he had some truly AMAZING games. I actually think he's perfectly acceptable in terms of talent level, even though his contract is too big. He's good enough to win a cup with if he's consistent. Bryz's problem isn't that he's bad. It's that he's REALLY bad for periods of time. If we bought him out and renegotiated the contract (pipe dreams....) I would be ecstatic.

If the Flyers could sign a #2 D-man I actually think they'd be pretty well set for the next few years. Once Timmonen retires we're screwed though.....

Those Gillis quotes are gold - kind of like when he took to the airwaves last year to claim that the organization wasn't just trying to soak the fanbase by charging regular season prices for tickets to exhibition games.

Head coach of Tampa. Was coach in Hamilton.

Yeah this.

Not sure why they don't allow this to be honest. You gave them a bad contract, so you are allowed to renegotiate after you buy them out. Player gets money and still gets a contract. Or maybe I'm just fortunateson.

So I guess the Phi faithful still think he's good but not worth the contract. Gotcha.
He'd probably be better with Pronger in the line up.

How has he been this year? I heard that he broke a leg or something?
