That's it Canucks. You need to lock down 9th place.

As I said earlier, hopefully it's for a 7x7 contract. That would be glorious.

This is good news. Canucks still won't be good enough to make the playoffs, but we don't want them slipping down far enough to have a good shot at Eichel or McDavid.

Good, too old for us going forward IMO. Hopefully it's for a lot of money.

Making themselves too good for last place, but not good enough for the playoffs.


Good good, keep building the 2010 Flames.

they were never going to compete for last place

the defense is too good, would have needed to trade at least 2 of the top 4 d men to be close

I like the signing. The Nucks are ready to run on that treadmill for another couple years.

That team is not making the playoffs

damn ... that's a good contract. Would have loved to have Vrbata in Calgary for 2 x 5.

Don't kid yourself you are close. A lot of the bottom feeders improved over the past week and the Canucks will sport a roster worse than they started last season with. This contract is fine though but Vrbata doesn't play center.

Just glad it wasn't Iggy taking up that spot on the right side.

Agreed. And that's even with Ryan Stanton and Shawn Mattias.
