It is good to see Nonis resign the star players to the team so far (Naslund and Morrison) and hopefully get Ohlund and Cooke to deals soon as well. I am not sure if he feels this team has what it takes to go to the next level or he is playing out the UFA game to make good trade offers to teams with lineups close or above the cap. I guess we will wait and see.

The Vancouver Canucks have re-signed centre Brendan Morrison to a three-year contract. Financial terms were not announced.

"Brendan has grown as a player and proven himself to be one of the premier centres in the league during his tenure with the Canucks," said general manager Dave Nonis. "His consistent efforts to improve, provide leadership and his family's commitment to the community in which he was raised in is evident. We are very pleased that Brendan will be returning to the Canucks."

Morrison played in all 82 games with Vancouver during the 2004 season, concluding the year second in team scoring with 22 goals and 60 points. Morrison is also the Canucks' "Ironman" having played in 348 straight games.

Morrison was acquired by Vancouver with Denis Pederson on March 15th, 2000 from New Jersey in exchange for Alexander Mogilny. In 471 career regular season NHL games, Morrison has recorded 111 goals, 231 assists and 190 penalty minutes.

Good move by Nonis

Morrison proved that he is a good player last season, when he carried the team in the playoffs.

I expect long term deals to Ohlund, and Salo soon. Both have said they want to play here.

Well it has become a bit of a millstone in terms of cap room, this season!

Hmmm... And how much are Horcoff, Hemsky and Stoll worth now?

Or does this not impact their value?

Well, if Pisani can get 2.5 million a year for having one good playoff run with a Cinderella team, why can't Morrison get 3.2 million a year?:wicked:
