Canucks Thread - We Still Believe Topic

a torn achilles is, (god knows im not web md), 6 months before healing even with surgery. Given his age and past injury problems, i'd be surprised if he played before march. 

Its a shame, i liked the guy. but he cant stay healthy

Raymond signed 5 minutes before his arb hearing.  2.5 then 2.6 two year deal.  With salo's 3.5 off the books, we are now at the cap.  What you see is what you get, only move that may be made is Bieksa for ???.......

And isn't it funny how you guys made fun of us for having cap problems? 
I'm just teasing afcorse...There are actually a few players on the Canucks I would take in a heartbeat.

A bit differant situations......Canucks signed there players and a couple free agents and salaries rose up to the cap.

The Blackhawks had to dispose of their players because they had an abundance of young talent (pretty good situation) to get down to the cap.
Hawks 1 cup, Canucks no cups.  Yes I would trade situations for the cup. 

Our cup hopes lie with Luongo, take away the C and tell him to just stop the puck and this team has a good shot at a cup.

Although that's true juskay, I'm still waiting to see the Sedins play playoff hockey. They showed flashes against LA, but they need to step up.

Randle........Luongo's contract may be chucked in the trash can by the NHL?

Do you feel like you just won the lottery?  Your wish of ridding the Canucks of Luongo's contract may come true.....And we did not need to find a SUCKER to take Luongo off our hands....

To Canuck fans, I love Luongo, but at 10 mil???  Rather sign Niemi for 2.5 and add Mitchell and ?????...

Remember, if Luongo's contract is voided, it's likely the Canucks would simply resign him with a slightly different structure. I doubt he would take 3-4 million less per season.

 That would be sweet ,Luongo is NOT a 10 million dollar goalie,getting outplayed by Niemi in the playoffs.Luongo is a joke ,average at best ,a 3 million goalie..Im pulling for the league to void his contract and Gillis can let him walk unless he takes 2.5 -3.0 million/year deal.dont let the door hit you on your overated *** as you walk out

 I was thinking the Canucks were saddled with this anchor for 12 frickin years ,this is the best news to hit the Canucks ever..like loping off a cancerous growth,divorcing your wife after she gained 200lbs after the wedding..its all good ,lets cut anchor and let the deadbeat  drown..sign a goalie with mental toughness and a competitive drive who doesnt blame his defense for his horrific play..that flaming "C" would look great on Louie

Contracts won't be nullified.

Sorry!
8/11/2010 10:00 PM
Sounds like mudbone wants Louis to stay a Canuck.......
8/11/2010 10:04 PM
10 mil is just what he is getting paid...his actual cap hit is only going to be 5.somthing this season...and that is an acceptable number for me.
8/13/2010 5:51 AM
 5 million for a mentally fragile goalie who has demonstrated throughout his entire career that he cannot win the big game?  thats not acceptable to me..big mistake and if the hockey gods rule that his contract is invalid ,i hope Gillis is smart enough to let this money drain walk..we will never win a cup with Luongo...never ..

His contract won't be voided so don't get your hopes too high.  In fact if by chance it does get voided I have no doubt that Gillis will make every attempt to resign him and the only difference will be that he will have a higher cap hit.
