| Message | Arguably the top NHL executive Brian Burke, and myself would dissagree that fighting is still a very improtant component of any championship team. Your very own Canucks would also dissagree with their signings of Hordichuk, O'Brien, Davison, the love they show Rypein, and Mike Brown. They dressed Brown the other night over Jaffrey just because he can throw a right cross harder than Jaffrey. Mike Brown probably has the least amount of puck skills in the entire NHL and would probably have trouble scoring in the local beer league, but because he comes to the rink every night and is willing to chuck knuckles at the drop of a hat he gets a paycheck. |

| Message | That meeting has been scheduled for ages and obviously they'll talk Sundin but the meeting isn't for that reason. IF a decision has been made, of course Barry still has to deny it until NYR puts an official offer out otherwise they lose any negotiating leverage they currently have from the $10 million offer the Nucks put on the table. Goon, this isn't the 80's fighting no longer wins hockey games and noone believes agents... maybe it's time to think about hanging up the skates... ![]() |

| Message | Agent JP Barry dismissed that story today in the Province paper, and flew into Vancouver last night to meet with Gillis about Sedins, Ohlund and presumably Sundin. |

| Message | Dukes, you are officially a Canucks fan this year after we beat the flames in the first head to head game, so your answer is: you hope he comes to the Nucks.... but it appears unlikely... theFAN590 out of TO is reporting it's a done deal with NYR just not public yet. (I don't believe it yet) |

| Message | florida would be ideal, he'd resurrect stillman's career and prove to the world that my midseason pick from last year was a stroke of genious! something will go wrong if he ends up in vancouver, and i would prefer gomez stick as the #1 center in NY, so no real preference there.. another body to plug in for jan 1st is the main thing.. |

| Message | Duke, any thoughts on where you want Sundin to go? |

| Message | I take issue with Stonch McKoy's assertion that Afinogenov has been a "dissapointment" to the Eppsters. Afinogenov was pure gravy (sour gravy as it turns out....is there such thing as sour gravy?) in a deal meant to move Sakic while he was stil viable (we now know he's not) and to bring some future prospects to the club -- that ended up being a third round pick. We had extremely low expectations for Afinogenov going into the season and we're happy to say he's met them. On the other hand, Gerber is a massive dissapointment. So is Redden. So is my team. |
