For a bit of pre UFA day fun - lets try and guess where the UFAs may end up.

Mike Ribeiro - Calgary (for a ton of cash)
Patrik Elias - NJ (already done)
Jaromir Jagr - Montreal
Michael Ryder - Nashville
Brad Boyes - Nashville
Jarome Iginla - Vancouver
Vinny Prospal - KHL
Tyler Bozak - Toronto
Saku Koivu - Ducks
Matt Cullen - Tampa
Damien Brunner - Det
D. Alfredsson - Bruins
Brenden Morrow - Vancouver
David Clarkson - Toronto
Teemu Selanne - Ducks
Viktor Stalberg -
Nathan Horton - Jackets
Matt Cooke -
Benoit Pouliot -
Clarke MacArthur -
P. Bouchard -
Marek Zidlicky -
Ryane Clowe - NJ
Nik Antropov -
V. Filppula -
Peter Mueller -
Steve Sullivan -
Joe Corvo -


And some more Canucks Pending UFAs for fun:

Andrew Alberts - SJS
Derek Joslin - AHL
Cam Barker - Europe
Derek Roy - Nashville
Manny Malhotra - No one signs him after medical reports :cry:
Mason Raymond - Calgary
Maxim Lapierre - Winnipeg
Steve Pinizzotto -
Andrew Ebbet - Calgary

Added:

Steven Wiess - Vancouver

Vancouver trades booth and Edler to make room and gets back mostly prospects.

Edler wins next 5 norris trophies and I cry like a school girl

With Grabovski now available, I say Gillis targets him. 3-4 million for a 2/3 year contract as a 3rd line center with the upside of possibly playing wing on the 2nd pair line if needed? Defensive and a warrior with offensive upside?

Hell yes. Gillis should get on the phone right away. Even if it means swapping Booth for minimal pieces later when the opportunity presents itself. I wouldn't even be upset if we basically just swapped Ballard's contract with Grabovski. Make it work GMMG!

You bet, I'd love to see Grabovski here.

I figured raymond would either go to the flames or jets.

Its going to be a boring day for us tomorrow I am guessing.

i cant wait for fans to panic when nothing is done like last yr FA period during the first few hrs

I think and assume most know unless we make a trade we cant make any moves, at least they would have to be small.

We wont have any garrison like signings tomorrow unless we look to move a booth, burrows, edler, bieksa.

LoL, well we have about 7.5 million, but we need to sign about 7 players yet with that 7.5 million.

So we are either going to be using alot of prospects on our roster this year, or look to sign scraps right now.

The most we could hope for is about a 2.5 million 3c and then try to fill some other depth positions with players under a million, maybe we can clone dale weise and his cap hit.

vancouver usually doesnt sign ufas on the first day... the only time it happened was in 2010 hamhuis/malhotra that i remembered. but they usually take a few days to sign players. with the cap situation the way it is probbaly just depth players for 1mill or less.

I see the canucks going after blum zanon Cooke Hendricks chipchura Gordon iginla Cullen clowe and morrow. Now obviously they will only end up signing 2-3 of their targets. I think Blum zanon and one of Hendricks chipchura and Gordon will be canucks. They will also sign a ton of ahl fodder the price for Cullen/iggy/clowe/morrow will be too high for the canucks to afford

ahahahaha you have fallen for my trap
If you are wrong, I will quote this post every time you say something I disagree with in an attempt to undermine you.
If you are right no credit will be given.

:sarcasm:

My heart wants 1.25 - 1.5 - 1.75 but my gut is sticking with my original prediction. :p:

I get a pass if Edmonton offer sheets him.

didn't MG try to get Michael Ryder a few years ago......wonder if he try again

is he not too one dimensional for the amount of coin and term he'll be asking for

yes, he does have one of the best wristers in the league. and a scoring touch of sorts. But is it worth it for a cap strap team
