Rumor: Jiri Hudler could sign this week, Canucks are in the mix

[Tryamkin]

Maybe it's just me, but he doesn't seem particularly credible.

He says he's an aspiring jounalist/reporter?

Looks pretty credible to me

Is it the 7 total tweets or the fact that his twitter account was made made in July. Good catch.

Gotta love the "I can confirm the Tyson Barrie deal" over an hour after Elliotte Friedman tweeted out the details.

the Hudler/Canucks rumor is back!!

 

[Disappointed EP40]

HOCKEY SOMETHING IS HAPPENING !

Seriously though. Hudler would be a great addition to the Canucks desperately in need of secondary scoring to even remotely compete.

What are the other teams in the mix ? I've just heard the Canucks although I'm sure he's getting other offers. Good 5v5 scorer.

Canucks trying to build the softest top 6 in history...

Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson

Baertschi - Sutter - Hudler

sheesh

Well meat and taters didn't work either, even as far as not getting pushed around.

sheesh

Maybe Bailey could have a destination after all! Considering it's Benning we'll probably get a 2nd round pick.

 

[Zip15]

I figure there will be a few wingers signed after Vesey makes his decision, and Hudler is one of those guys.

That made me laugh. Now all we need is a meme with all 6 in frilly pajamas having a pillow fight to seal the image forever.

Oh man.. I don't like the looks of that at all

 

[Spectra]

Lol Canucks be Canucking, will be fun to watch!

Uhhhh, they almost won a stanley cup with that... So yes actually it did work.

 

[migi]

Did I see the same rumor like three weeks ago from same Twitter account? It was matter of days then.

 

[Luck 6]

Heh... Well, I don't want to start a whole "Sedins are not soft" debate here, but, the Sedins are not soft. I haven't seen enough of Eriksson lately to comment, but from what I remember from his Dallas days he's a bit of a battler, isn't he? That top line may not be one that is going to beat you up, but they'll muck it up in the dirtiest areas of the ice with the best of them, and will often come out on top.

Baertschi-Sutter-Hudler? Ya, that's a bit soft. I have a feeling it would be broken down differently...

Hudler-Sutter-Hansen
Baertschi-Horvat-Virtanen

Who knows...

On to Hudler, I personally don't really want him unless it's for a max. 2 year deal. I'd rather keep that cap space for a younger player, personally.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Uhhhh, they almost won a stanley cup with that... So yes actually it did work.

Nah, so soft needs more toffnuss and grit.

Fine with Hudler depending on term, would rather sign him than trade assets. He will be a good compliment for Horvat.

Did I see the same rumor like three weeks ago from same Twitter account? It was matter of days then.

It's a radio station in Vancouver that has a good reputation and routinely talks directly with players' agents, FWIW.

 

[howkie]

I never understand why the Sedins are called soft? Who are the thoughest players? The one who has the puck or the one Running around trying to hit players? I know, does some of the "canadiens though boys that?"
I dont understand why some experts calles Russell a good ol canadien Boy cuz he blocks lots of shots. He blocks shots cuz he is useless and scared of handling the puck

 

[Flames Fanatic]

the Hudler/Canucks rumor is back!!

I was gonna say. Didn't this exact same source say the same thing a few weeks back?

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Hudler Vermette and Vrbata are all linked to the Canucks

Rumor has it they could sign all three
