Agreed. Not uncommon that Canucks would project a bit and player has ambitions, but it doesn't mean it will happen. Besides, offence remains our Achilles still, so I'm still hoping we can get someone like a Boyes, Larose or gerbe...

Gerbe would be good because after the games Lain could put him in his pocket to go back to the hotel.:sarcasm:

MG coming on Team1040, and then a presser at 4, so I assume we're done for the day.

Still 3 legitimate holes on our forward corps. 2LW, 3C, 4LW. Hope they give him some tough questions.

I think prospects fill these holes. Kassian seems destined for the Twins according to Botchford, and this bumps down Burrows to the 2LW. As for 3C and 4LW, I want Gaunce and Archibald to be allowed to run with these positions badly.

TonyG blowing smoke for GMMG, some teams core is younger than ours, so projected natural improvement was a factor when you consider Edmonton, LAK.... Tired of MG's act already....

Anyone wanna transcribe what McSweatypants is saying?

"Day 1 went exactly as we expected"
"We were in on a few players but, we didn't feel they were better than what we already had"
"It's all part of the process"
"Yes I DO think Brad Richardson can play 3C on a Stanley Cup contender"

Agreed. Bryan Murray sounded real and truthful when he spoke to the media about Alf.

To me gillis just sounds like a slimy type used car salesman everytime he talks now...and i can picture him sweating like no ones business.

Says the same old crap with we have our core locked up....blah blah blah. Hey Mike...have you noticed the core sucked balls in the playoffs TWO years running?

Wow.

"Roster reset" with Brad Richardson, Yannick Weber and a goalie who doesn't want to play for us.

MG's Reset button is about as reliable as this one:

I think Gillis' patience will pay off. With so much term and money going to so few high end UFA's around the league, and with the cap coming down, there are bound to be good role players looking for jobs all throughout this summer.

Gerbe would actually be a half-way decent Raymond replacement. I don't think that's the direction we're taking the team though, so doubt it happens.

EDIT: WTF are we holding a presser for after signing Y.Weber and Richardson?!
