The most up-to-date breaking news for the Vancouver Canucks including highlights, roster, schedule, scores and archives. Not good!It appears a large appeal with the two first rounders is that they are fairly close to the NHL and can provide value on their ELCs.Imagine if Gillis ran an Olympic track and field team, why, you’d be watching 30 something year olds sprint while the young talent get traded off to somewhere else. Now we’re stuck with them (as well as Higgins) because of the no trade clauses.
Luongo and his agent?Those were sentiments echoed by Gillis earlier on Sunday when he described Horvat as "a 200-foot player," who compliments the pure offense that Hunter Shinkaruk brings to the table. "We got two complimentary players in the first round," said Gillis.So let me get this right, Aquillini if you are reading this, your guy Gillis signs Roberto Luongo to that massive stupid undeserved contact and now because of that contract, you trade away one of the top young goalies in the NHL so that you can keep the Luongo who doesn’t even want to be here for another how many more years?yeah, you’re right but at least Frattin and Scrivens can play in the NHL. OMG, Mike Monkey , you have really outdone yourself this time. But a 60 game season with any of the save percentage seasons he has put up in the last 3 will put him in the conversation for best goalie in the league.This is why the NHL is going down, dumb rules and old players like Luongo with nothing left to give but a smelly jock strap. The fact remains that when you keep an old goalie who has not gotten the job done and traded away a young potential star goalie, it speaks volumes of what the Canucks really are.

Lui had melted down in consecutive yrs against chicago in the playoffs and then his road meltdowns in the finals in beantown likely cost us our 1st cup and our lack of team toughness. Hope this sticks in the ribs of all Canuckle heads forever, this is truly the poster child for mickey mouse teams in the NHL.Gillis has a bit of wiggle room if he buys out Ballard. Sat Oct 5, 2013 Edmonton at Vancouver 10:00 PM ET CBC. Other wise, it would not be an opinion but propaganda or a shills comment.down the middle. Signing his 1st NHL contract with the Vancouver Canucks…Image Courtesy of CBC In a surprise move it was recently reported that the Canucks have placed prospect defenceman Adam Polasek on unconditional waivers to have him bought out. While there is little in terms of reports on this, it would appear to be a similar situation to Zack Hamill where Polasek had his contract…
