Though any article that thrashes the Canuckleheads can't be all bad
Quote:
Vancouver Canucks
Their offseason so far: The summer started early, with major changes in the front office and behind the bench. Mike Gillis and John Tortorella are out; Jim Benning, Trevor Linden, and Willie Desjardins are in. From there, the Canucks were forced to move Ryan Kesler and Jason Garrison without getting all that much in return, and signed Vrbata.
But their strangest move was: Signing Ryan Miller to a three-year, $18 million deal, even though the recent numbers say he’s not necessarily any better than the much younger (and cheaper) goalie they already have, Eddie Lack. The move made some sense, since Lack is far from proven, but they paid an awfully high price for a move that may not be an upgrade. And now they have an all-star veteran and a promising youngster — which didn’t exactly work out well for them the last time around.
Bizarro-meter reading: 7.3/10. The Canucks certainly haven’t been boring.
