Canucks are doing good stuff this offseason - and with the Sedin's coming back healthy they should automatically have a better season by that theory alone

now to tackle the draft. (this weekend right?) Im going to enjoy this one from all teams. So many are going to want to make so many changes. the next 2 weeks are going to be fantastic for NHL off season news.

I said this last year and I'll say it again...

Canucks draft day is the same every year. Lots of anticipation then indifference and disappointment. Like every trade deadline and playoffs.

This is going to be a great couple of weeks - I think we have some big trades in the horizon

I doubt they'll trade away a starting goalie in the first round this year.

Isn't that just because they don't have a starter to trade?

We were driving through North Van and passed the Boston Pizza on Marine Drive near Cap Mall yesterday and I remember being there having potato skins the draft night evening the canucks traded Bert for Luongo back in 2006

ahh the days when Panther trades worked out for the canucks and Boston Pizza had good potato skins ... good ole days

It's like I'm an open book...

With all my "optimism", I do like both off season moves thus far. Oh and I like the Booth buy-out as well.

I obviously want the best player available at our position and If not Austen then I really want the best D man available and hope that we can trade down and get something more as well.
