The upcoming Canucks season thread

[IndyAndy]

The team is called the Rivermen, and the author ends his article with; "It's a fluid situation to be sure."

... Was he going for a ?

Step 1 seems to be official:

‏@andystrickland 1h
#stlblues have sold their #AHL affiliate in Peoria to the Vancouver #Canucks...Chicago #Wolves expected to become new Blues AHL affiliate

Canucks have placed David Booth on LTIR -- giving them approx $4mil to spend above the cap - via @TSNBobMcKenzie.

Finally, Booth brings something of value to the Canucks.

 

[puckhead]

Canucks have recalled Nicklas Jensen and Bill Sweatt and have re-assigned Andrew Gordon and Zach Kassian to the Wolves.


looking forward seeing Jensen.
and hopefully he will have a chance to get that release away a couple of times.

@FarhanLaljiTSN
- Gillis re #Luongo, "we're talking to 4 teams with varying levels of activity and various proposals"
Gillis also said "it might not be the right time" to trade #Luongo and suggested that it would be easier in the summer
- Gillis re Kesler, "we expect Ryan to skate today... expect him to play within a week"
- hopes Kassian will be back soon, "We need him to play a lot and get his feet moving. We'll need him in the playoffs"


faster on Kesler than I thought. last I read on the tweets he was still in a cast/boot.

If Gillis is saying a week, is Kesler's camp saying a month?

Lame ... You used to be able to bottle female servers at the roxy vip roomand get a regular shift the next game ...

 

[mattola]

its fixable but sending him to chicago only allows him to do it better and not be recognized.

On the plus side maybe kass kicks the shit out of patrick kane at a frat party

And then in the next breath, we wonder why hockey players (the majority of which are shy and try to avoid the limelight) end up preferring to play in places like San Jose, Nashville, and Phoenix where they can go out and have a drink and not have it end up being front page news.

I used to frequent the Loose Moose in downtown Vancouver when it was brand new was a great place (now its well... its not) ALOT of the canucks came in there every night when they played at home, they never over did it except for Harold Druken (especially during rehab stints) and Harold was the only one I ever talked about. everyone else played and performed after every time I saw them there. having a drink is fine, partying to all hours of the night and getting hammered not so much when you are making that kind of money. if you want that lifestyle go to the ECHL or get a real job

Yeah, I guess that's the question Matty, if it's a drink or two, I don't have a problem with it.

If david booth was still around they could punish kass by making him go watch lion king with booth before bedtime
