dont think hes officially retired yet is he?

Dave Naylor of late is starting to go off the rails - Maybe he's getting a little full of himself ever since he got his own show on TSN.

TSNDaveNaylor: The watering down of NHL jerseys continues. Pavel Bure. Seven seasons as a Canuck. Barely half his NHL career. Time to raise the bar, folks.

can you imagine if Luongo chooses not to report to the canucks? it could happen and the canucks turn to Tim Thomas and somehow win a cup with him in net. holy crap I think every hockey fan should wish this to happen just for the sheer show of it all


lol this post is 666 HA

If he's good enough for the hall of fame* he's good enough to have his jersey retired by the team who he had all of his success with.



* I still don't think he should be in the hall of fame. Cam Neely either.

The thing is, I'm not sure if Daniel and Hank are Hall-of-Fame players (At this point, I'm leaning towards no), but I'm pretty sure we'll see #22 and #33 in the rafters at Rogers Arena very quickly after they hang up the skates.

I dont see them as Hall of Fame. Too late a bloomers for that. I do see them retired. If Naslund is retired they are a lock for it.

one thing that Gillis mentioned last night was that the Sedins said they want to retire canucks so when they return for camp they will discuss extension

the only people who should care whether a team retires its players jersey number is that teams fans

if they can turn into Alfie and play another solid 5 years with no Trevor Linden/Stan Smyl fall off in level of play/stats production ... theyre hall of famers imo ... theyve won an olympic gold and a world championships

Hey @mattsekeres, when is @TSNDaveNaylor on the show? Seems we have a few things to discuss re: Bure... Gilmour only had 7 yrs with TOR!

I like that signing, I could see him getting double that if they would have went the arbitration route. Sounds like Torts likes him as well.
