He's 21! exactly. i didn't say he wouldn't achieve the results. he's an offensive player who doesn't back check & believes he's more valuable than he currently is. he has to prove himself before demanding a fat contract.

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 I'd really like if Montreal went after Ronald Petrovicky, Brad Isbister, Mike Leclarec, Mark Recchi, Radoslav Suchy, Jim Dowd, Jaroslav Svaboda, Nathan Dempsey, Ken Klee, Erik Rasmussen, Justin Papineau, Martin Rucinsky, Dean McAmmond, Scott Young Why? None of those players are better then anyone we already have, including the rookies that haven't been given a chance to shine... Recchi, and Klee will serve the whole NHL better if they just retire. Martin Rucinsky sucked for us 5 years and has only gotten worse. Brad Isbister is a very poor man's Mike Ryder, and everyone brings nothing to the table. In all, I'd be dissappointed if we got any of those players, with possibly Scott Young being the exception. You know Steve Begin can't do all of the toughness for forwards. I mean ya we got Mike Johnson, but I mean put Klee with Rivet or Komisarek and you got a pretty strong second line defence. Thats why there's guys like Isbister and Leclarec who can give us some size. Jim Dowd is one of the best faceoff men in the league, something that is Montreal weakness. Rucinsky played very well with Montreal for his five years, sure not his peak performance, but I mean a second big guy scorer would be able to help Montreal.

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Linden will be back with Canucks Jul, 20 2006 - 8:20 AM VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980) - The Vancouver Canucks are expecting Trevor Linden to return to the lineup. GM Dave Nonis says a roster spot awaits the unrestricted free agent, and they'll sit down next week to discuss a new deal. The Canucks didn't exercise a 1.5-million-dollar option after Linden slumped to 16 points last season. Meanwhile, Anson Carter's agent says the free agent won't accept the Canucks' current offer, believed to be 1.8-million dollars a year.

KGB 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Cuban, Marino bid for Pens rejected http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=172078&hubname=nhl It appears Mark Cuban and Dan Marino will not be the saviors of hockey in Pittsburgh. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, the group headed up by New York City financier Andrew Murstein had their bid of more than $170 million US rejected by the Penguins. "We increased our offer significantly, and it was not accepted," said Murstein, whose group has made it known they would like to keep the team in Pittsburgh. Cuban and Marino are both Pittsburgh-area natives. Hartford businessman Sam Fingold appears to be the frontrunner with a bid in the neighbourhood of $175 million US. Fingold has discussed the possibility of moving the team to Kansas City. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Fingold could sign a letter of intent within days to negotiate a deal. But Massachusetts developer Larry Gottesdiener, who has talked about moving the team to Hartford, is still in the picture as well. A group that considered moving the team to Hamilton, Ontario appears to have dropped out of the running. The Penguins ownership group, including former team captain Mario Lemieux, would like to finalize the sale of the team before the start of the 2006-07 campaign.

I was so hoping you were kidding like the other guys said. Klee would have fit as a rotating seventh d with Streit and I would have let go of Boullion, or pushed him to play forward. I don't think Bulis is going to put up numbers like this year again. We do need a second good face off man and a good defensive centermen (something Montreal lacks of) and Dowd can fit in perfectly and can help players like Higgins, Plekanc etc... Ribs can't play defence. Like I said with the addition of Johnson does help with size and strength, Isbister can do the same as well if Bulis does not get signed.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2006 I don't think I'd have minded Klee. He's a good defensive D-man and can kill penalties. We're going to need someone to fill that role (Streit, maybe Bouillon) since Montreal has begun to over-do it's need from two years ago for a PP quaterback. That being said, get one more forward like Bulis provided he doesn't resign. As much as I like Samsonov, I'd like one more sniper for peace of mind, mostly on the grounds that just about everyone on the Habs had a career year last year.

Guest Report post Posted July 25, 2006 This is just my opinion, but I think it was the Sedins ability to come into their own this season that has caused Carter to think his value is high. The Sedins ability to cycle the puck was what enabled Carter to have a big year. All Carter did was wait for them to cycle, free himself up into an open position and push the puck in. Unless Nonis has a salary dump or two lined up, I think they're done for this offseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rucinsky, Sanderson and Carter were all supposed to fit perfectly with the Brothers Sedin. What's the missing ingredient? Rucinsky - Soft, sucks. Sanderson - Blazing speed, but the guy was only around for one playoff run before he bolted. He wasn't exactly a great shot either, somewhat inconsistent. Carter - The best linemate they had, but still managed to miss open nets to the point where it was no longer surprising. They need a right winger who has good enough hands to consistently convert, and someone physical enough to be able to survive in front of the net. Those types of players are highly priced, and the Canucks have never bothered to spend the money to give the Sedins the threat they need. I mean, Rucinsky? Come on.
