Apparently offered 20% less than Kesler, which is interesting.

He's not too old to play in the CHL, is he?
Vlad The Impaler said:If Burke wants to build a good cheap team, he should improve his drafting method. I think the Canucks are slowly but surely missing the boat. They have a window of opportunity but they better start taking advantage of it very soon.
They have a good core but are missing ingredients. They do lateral moves, draft like crap, I'm still not sold on Crawford and Burke has (at times) too much of a big mouth.
Reign Nateo said:I don't think you can say that subtracting Klatt, Letowski, Baron, and Skudra and adding Arvedson, Slegr, Hedberg, and a prospect (or Keane) is a lateral move. It's a clear improvement in my eyes.
PecaFan said:And what positions do those guys play? Backup goalies, #7 dmen, and 3rd or 4th line forwards are not terribly important spots on a team. If one of them got injured, would you say "There goes our Cup chances now"? Contrast to Bert, Nazzy, Jovo, Ohlund etc.
Individually, the players brought in may be better than the ones that left, but they play such minimal roles in the success of the team that any improvement will be negligible.
