He's dangerous on the PK and maybe a change of scenery playing at home will bring another level out of him.

TSN has him down as a LW or RW. Which would help the log jam at LW situation if true.

[devo22]

if he really signs for us, it'll be "interesting" during the next few days. Canucks fans will probably swarm this place to tell us how crappy he is.

[Bertuzzied]

Great signing. He can pass on all his diving knowledge and embellishment skills to all the new young guys!

[nik-]

I think we all expected this could happen, but I'm still kind of meh about it.

"Matt Cooke only became a dirty player AFTER he left the Canucks!"

[PeteLFan]

The negotiation window is the day after the draft starting next season it's 48 hours only this season.

[SuperMatt18]

Guess two of our LWs will play on the off wing. Hudler did it last year.

If true as Natural LWs we have Hudler, Cammy, Baertschi, Glencross, Galiardi, & Raymond.

That is 6! top 9 LWs.

Edit: As mentioned TSN has him as a LW/RW guess we can move him to the RW then if true.

True free agency.....that's what I thought.

[bubbsy]

curious about the caphit.

i'd rather give bozak 4-5 than raymond that amount. don't we already have too many wingers anyways?

[d_phaneuf]

he's incredibly frustrating

like incredibly, for the first 10-15 games last year he looked great and everyone thought it was the full off-season from the back injury had finally helped him

and then the rest of the season he just didn't have it, stopped battling as much, had no finish etc.

at worst he's an average 3rd liner who is a great pk'er but there's a chance that a 20-25 goal scorer is still in there

if it's between 2-3m I think it's a no risk deal for a team in the Flames case

[Ashasx]

We REALLY need to trade 2 or 3 wingers now. Simply too many on the team.

[Anduril]

Question is who goes now? Cammy is an obvious choice but I'm curious who the other body might be.

[Muta]

He's a local boy, too. Hopefully if this is true, it's for no more than $2.5 per....

[atb]

I would like this signing depending on cap hit and term (3 years at $3M per would be nice) and as long as there isn't a NMC or NTC attached.

[MolsonInBothHands]

Isn't he usually good for a goal per game against the Flames?

Most of my canuck fan friends have not liked him since his 50 point year. I have no doubt they will be laughing at me. There is a place for him and pretty much any player in the NHL, on a rebuilding team. Not so much for teams that are some what playoff bound.

[JiriHrdina]

Yeah I think this lands somewhere 3/4 years at 3.0-3.25 per season.

[MikeMc]

Does anyone know what the Fan960 actually said in regards to this? Are we all jumping the gun here?

[BurningSteel]

all your wingers belong to us
