Why would ATL give up Kovalchuk? Especially for the often injured Gaborik.

Yeah, don't see that happening unless Kovalchuk really wants out of Atlanta.

Because it's entirely impossible for someone to like the city they play in right? Just stop posting dumb shit like that.

Canucks should go after him. Trade prospects and make a serious cup run.

Also - I would love to have Kovalchuk but he'd cost the Canucks are entire farm practically (i.e. Schneider, Hodgson, Suave, etc.). I would rather the Canucks try and sign Shanahan (for just $$$$$) or go for a guy like Tomas Kaberle or Jay Bouwmeister. Since our blue line is very injury prone, those guys would give us depth back there. |

Kaberle has not really been doing well since last year. Not sure picking him up would be a good idea.

Sedins, Sundin... this may be there only time together, they could all very well be gone after this season. Winning the Cup is what it's all about. Trying to hold prospects so you can make a run one day is foolish if you can do it now. There is a bit of a chance if they got Kovalchuk and a healthy Luongo. I believe Bouwmeister, who earlier this year was being considered as shop bait has been internally reevaluated and won't be going anywhere.

There's not a whole lot of teams in the running for the playoffs that would need a guy like Kovalchuk for a rent-a-play. I could see him MAYBE going to the Canucks.
I see him going to the Stars if there seasons keeps turning around like it is and come trade deadline they are 5th or 6th in the West. Hell I could see Ottawa trading Spezza for him too. |

I wonder - if the Canucks were to get a guy like Michael Peca, it would... A) Perhaps free up Kesler to play on our top 6. B) Give us extra leadership and penalty killing help. C) Give us more grit D) Give us a guy that consistently plays well come crunch time. E) Give Sundin a familar friend in the lockerroom. |

Peca?
No thanks, he's done. He hasn't played anything close to a full season since '05. Even then his numbers were, with all due respect, pitiful. He's been done for a long time. |

busting a load? No, but he will be a top 6 forward. He's overpriced, I don't like what the Canucks have committed to him but at leat it's only for this year. Peca is no where near a top 9 anymore... and Sundin at least plays every game unlike Peca, who you'd be lucky to get to play on avg. 1 out of every 3

Well the Canucks can't call him anything but. They've got to sell it to the fans as well as the team.

5 million. It's not about what he says, although he will be always has been respected, but it's about the depth he brings to the team and opens up other players for being less watched defensively. Teams will put their top checkers on him and his line. He's also a good play maker so his line mates will be open to more scoring chances

Vancouver will ride on Luongo, Sundin helps a rather mediocre offense but it wont nearly be good enough unless Roberto is completely healthy.
Having said that, Go Habs Go. |

Well, if the Islanders do get him, and they build the team around them, like the Caps did with Ovechkin, Pens did with Crosby and the Hawks did with Kane, Isle's could be back in contention in no time.
Watch him end up on Tampa Bay though lol. |

Islanders are a dysfunctional organization. Much like Tampa. They don't properly build. Look at their recent history.

I thought it was on later in the day. I knew it was on early, but didn't realize it was that early. Anyway, what I saw looked good. Too bad there wasn't some seating on the field. That would have be cool.

I agree it didnt look right at all. I mean they had like random people standing around. If it didnt show the crowd it would look like a house league.
Also mad hard hit into the chicago bench early on. |

Gaborik is opting for hip surgery. His second time, other hip. Minnesota says he can manage it and play through it.
