Islanders need to be in on him for sureTavares needs one even worse.
He's probably looking for a three year deal. I'll guess he only gets 4m * 2.
I don't see why he would take nothing to join Chicago. Doesn't make any sense
Just scanning twitter and many 'sources' have people saying Vancouver over Chicago cause of $$.. A random guy from Hockeybuzz is saying this weekend is when he'll sign and not really any reliable sources as far as I can tell,but we'll see

People hate but IMO thats a playoff team. Lacks top end talent but has very good depth.
If Virtanen steps up (breaks out) and replaces Hansen as the 2nd line RW they would have a chance if it weren't for their goaltending. It's is really weak, bottom 5 in the league imo. Don't see them making the playoffs solely because of that.
I strongly disagree with our goaltending. I believe we are in the middle of the pack. Markstrom is underrated. he was = to Miller last year. I dont think its great goal tending but i certainly dont think its bottom 5.

That's ok if your value on goaltenders is skewed seeing the team you cheer for.
Vancouver's goaltenders were the back bone of their success the past two seasons, what very little success the team has had. If the Canucks didn't have Markstrom putting up starter like numbers and Miller not missed considerably more time last season we'd have challenge for worst point percentage of all time. The Canucks scored a measly amount but were able to float around the wild card position right until the Christmas break. Also at the end with 20 games to go, it'd seemed each goaltender was hell bent on not having the team place last overall with their play.
I wouldn't say any of those teams are worse, even with Hudler (especially not Carolina). New Jersey (and maybe Colorado if they somehow decide to hire Eakins) is the only one I think that'll be worse than us.

You know that Sutter is our 2nd line center right.And where is JV?Id keep Bae-Bo together and have Gauncer instead of the Wrong Granlund for the 4C

Wikipedia says his current team is New Jersey Devils. Interesting...

If Hudler signs in Vancouver he'll be doing checking line duty with Sutter and Hansen. The only way he sees top line is if Daniel is injured.
