I'd rather spend more money and bring Grabovski on board on a 3 year deal...

Yann Sauve has also been inked by the Canucks - Didn't he get hit by a car in downtown Vancouver a couple of years ago?

Is this Michael Dunahee? | Vancity Buzz | Vancouver Blog

It has been 22 years since Michael Dunahee vanished from the school playground at Blanshard Elementary School in Victoria, B.C. on March 24, 1991. He was only 4 years old, and the case is still unsolved to this day.

In recent weeks, an online forum user that goes by the name “Canuckels” thought there was a possibility that he may be Michael Dunahee. He claims he was contacted by the Victoria Police Department and is now awaiting the results of a time intensive DNA test for a possible match.

Update from Victoria Police Department

Const. Mike Russell said, in a phone interview, police do not believe the man pictured above is Michael Dunahee. However, like every tip they receive, it will undergo a full investigation. They receive hundreds of tips each time they circulate Dunahee’s photo and will conduct a DNA analysis to rule the man out.

They have also posted the following on their Facebook Page:


VicPD Collecting Consent DNA To Rule Out Dunahee Tip

Victoria, BC – VicPD detectives are travelling to the mainland to collected consent DNA from a male who was been identified, through a tip, as possibly being Michael Dunahee. Despite the tip and our best hopes, it is our belief that this male most likely is not Michael.

We have been in contact with the Dunahee family and are collecting the DNA as part of our commitment to them and to Michael to exhaust no leads, no matter how small, until he is found.

Michael Dunahee’s disappearance initiated one of the biggest child abduction investigations ever investigated in Canadian history. It was a major news story for many years in both Canada and the United States, and to date over 11,000 tips have been received on his whereabouts.

To this day, there is still hope that he is alive and well.

Hey, at least Gillis is starting to look at guys who played junior in the Dub - Onwards and upwards!

It's hard to believe he's only 42 years old - Sad that his career was cut short (he could have been another Selanne methinks).
