We have a great cap structure with this management, No stupid long-term contracts that will have us hemmed up..Just the key pieces are signed long..We will have money to splurge with in the near future whereas lots of other teams will likely be in cap trouble..I'm sure PA will nab some great d-man from out there via trade or FA..Don't worry bud.
-
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding @smithers joe.
Are you saying we still don't have depth on RHD?
We have more RHD depth prospects than I've seen in years.
I still have hopes that maybe Celebrini might be wild card pick that pays dividends.
-
willander is the only sure thing to play regularly on our defence. others are maybes.
on the left side we have several that could play in the nhl. too bad we had to trade away to calgary, a good bet to make the team eventually. only we just bring in tough 3rd pair d-men. i'ld like another prospect with a better average chance to make the team.

when you say patterson, do you mean pettersson or is there another player, i'm not aware of?

management knows the extent of demko's time line or if he even plays this year. they will do what needs to be done to help this team. if demko ends up still needing surgery, he may be out all year. he then go on ltir.

lions not running away with the game but they are leading at half time. roarke looking better.

i miss old VC. i hope he comes back full time

[Report] Demko Status - Team looking for more goaltending help
smithers joe replied to Grandmaster's topic in Canucks Talk
they are saying that demko ruled out the knee surgery and instead he rested it. apparently he may still need the knee surgery. ouch. -

@smithers joe I think at this point there's a bit of a reputation factor involved. I've spent a fair bit of time in and around Whalley Baseball/Whalley Ballpark as both a player and coach so I'm somewhat familiar. I've encountered quite a few kids/families who "should" be with another LL but go to Whalley because of its reputation, that's where Dad played, or whatever other reason. I think it also helps that 1) Kennedy Surrey Little League folded in the early 00's and a lot of their kids went to Whalley as it was by far the closest LL, and 2) Surrey Canadian Baseball (the BC Minor option for North Surrey kids) sucks, especially for more competitive players.
About ten or fifteen years ago Whalley LL was really struggling with registration but I think that's improved since then.
White Rock had a good thing going for a bit there about a decade ago but ultimately went to BC Minor instead. Langley (collectively) has a ton of young families and always has relatively high registration numbers in baseball but there's some infighting between the BC Minor/Baseball BC/Little League factions that gets Langley baseball tripping on its own dick more often than not.

Article Sedins to be more involved with Canuck Power play
smithers joe replied to Rip The Mesh's topic in Canucks Talk
florida pp is always in motion, much like the old russisn teams and even the sedins. the sedins were masters at cycling the puck. i remember our pp was good during their time here. my pet peeve last year was the lack of creativity. tocchet will encourage more of that, this season. -

when they found cancer in my wife's brain and lungs, they gave her 6 months to live. the dear, excepted that and wanted to go. she lasted only 3 weeks. a week before my brother died, he phone us. it was something he had never done before. i wasn't home but he talked to my wife. he said, he just wanted to see if we were alright. he told my wife, have joe call when he gets a chance. i was too lazy and self absorbed to return his call. he died a week later. i've carried that guilt around ever since.
