[pixburgher66]

Ducks have traded Maxim Lapierre to Vancouver... Canucks get their center.

Reports: Vancouver trades Joel Perreault and a 3rd for Maxime Lapierre, then Evan Oberg and a 3rd for Chris Higgins

Another deal for Higgins? Higgins is a solid player IMO.

Burrows and LaPierre

Burrows has toned it way the hell down, fwiw.
I was very impressed that he was holding steady sparring against Lucic on Sat.



TSN comfirms Lapierre now.

Burrows and LaPierre

Sammy can be a little agitator as well... that would be some line.

Murph confirming, matty.

interesting... AV coached Lapierre in junior.
used him as a shut-down guy (against Crosby).

I really do think he is a talented player. If he can ever stop with the stupidity and the knack for taking bad penalties at bad times.

 

[mattola]

Gillis and AV will set him straight Im very excited.

Yeah, but when you're at 90, toning it down to 70 still makes for an annoying little pissant.

Gillis is smoking something allright...

what do we need?
improve bottom 6. grit, speed, energy, and some hands
Make it so!!!

I do like what the guys are saying about the speed these two will bring as well.
good point on lapierre..... better buy in NOW, you're running out of chances.
and if they can reel in higher profile / higher minute guys like kes and burrows so dramatically, lapierre shouldn't be a problem.

Also got Chris Higgins.

Looks like Lapierre is willing to tone it down.

The Canucks also got a player named Macgregor Sharp. Is that an actual person or a brand of cheese?
