I think there were some serious issues with the canucks last year some of which can be attributed to the coach and some to personalities. Issues in the dressing room kind of stuff. With that said I still think the canucks are no good but they are better than the team that finished the season. Vrbata is a solid hockey player and will look good playing with the Sedins. Also bumps Burrows down a line which is where he should be. They still lack depth especially high end players but they are better than last year in my mind.
But they are no where near being good enough to fight for the playoffs unless a team or two really implodes. The west has some really solid teams and the canucks to me fall in the 8 to 12 range.
Hard to make fun of this signing it is pretty good.
