Yah for sure
How much room does Vancouver have?
If the rumors are true then we should be hearing forsberg or Rob N name anytime soon. Wow that would be great for Nuck fans

How many players signed?

How many players signed?

All but Forsberg and Niedermayer. ;)

All but Forsberg and Niedermayer. ;)

I believe Forsberg could come at a discount but I doubt Niedermayer.... does that leave Vancouver with enough room? Especially considering I doubt they?d go over 36.
Wasn?t Niedermayer even quoted saying he wants the max salary. He won?t get it and I?m sure he?d settle for a little less in his hometown?IMO the only player worth that in the league is Iggy

Haha true, but doesn't every player in the league want in Vancouver, or at least finish their careers here? :conspire:

This just in: Yzerman is traded to the Canucks for Fedorov, while Joe Sakic is also on his way to his home town for Brent Sopel's old gym shorts.

The Vancouver Canucks have shipped Brent Sopel to the New York Islanders. In return the Canucks receive a conditional draft pick.

This looks shockingly familiar to the Brad Isbister trade. Edmonton then went out and got Pronger. Could Vancouver be on the verge of signing Niedermayer?

Maybe they're just making up for Naslund. I doubt they're going for Niedermayer. But who knows?

:dance:

No more Sopel, yaaaaaaaaaaaa. No more Sopel and Cloutier running into each other. Hopefully, Cloutier is on the next bus out of Vancouver.

Nonis was on MOJO, and mentioned that a new defenseman will be coming here to replace Sopel..shortly

Either thru UFA, or a trade

Actually ex Canucks have done well on the Island: Peca, AuCoin, Scatchard, Linden notwithstanding.

Bye Brent "Brain Cramp" Sopel

There were two Sopel threads (never thought I would see the day :laughing: ) I merged them.
