Canucks Season Summed up thread

[jstewismybastardson]

yeah I think both player and management can agree to take him out of Parise/Nash comparisons. While Burrows is productive the Sedins DO play a part in it as he does with them. I dont think Burrows gets 30 goals on Columbus hes a product of our team as well. Id be ok with 4 years even 5 if Sedins sign a short extension to end their careers here.

Hmmm??? dont fuck up a good thing Burr!

yeah, just pointing out that 30 goals is an impressive comparable.
Burrows doesn't drive the play as the others do, he's more of a much, much better Trent Klatt

but Kane, Eberle, etc. are in the similar scoring range, and will be getting deals that could push the comparables north.

Kassian says #Canucks told him to work hard this summer, put lots of hours in the gym and on the ice he says he has done that in Windsor.


I really am excited to see this kid develop. I hope he is the real deal that Gillis says he is.

@BradZiemer
Johan Franzen ($3.95 million), Ryan Callahan ($4.275M) and Wayne Simmonds ($3.975M) seen as possible comparables for Burrows. #Canucks
Gilman also says team plans to talk soon to Edler's agent, Mark Stowe, about extension

#Canucks have re-signed goaltender Eddie Lack. The AHL Wolves goalie was originally signed by Vancouver as a free agent on April 6, 2010.
2 years.$650 000/$85,000 and then $850,000

alright... just one more puzzle piece to fall in to place...
lookin' at you, Lou!

puck, do you think the Canucks are looking to bring in another goalie (maybe Jose Theodore if Luongo goes to Florida) to back up Crampy, or is Eddie Lack going to get the backup job?

 

[mooger_35]

Interest that the 2nd year is a one-way contract but the first isn't.

yeah, I think the former will play out - especially if the trade is with FLA and they need to move a vet.
this contract gives the team flexibility in the first year, and pays him like a full-time NHL back-up next.
it wouldn't be the worst thing for his development to own the AHL next year - maybe mentor Cannata.

seems to fit pretty well for the plan above.



he seems happy with the deal

According to his twitter account, he's going to be going with Johnny Canuck riding a wolf on the side of his mask.

Sounds pretty fucking cool.
