...with the Canucks! 1 yr, $1M, and a bottom six role.

I'm too lazy to post a link but both James Mirtle and some HNiC guys were talkin about it on Twitter, so I'll just post an official Canucks link when it's available.

At least he's one country closer to playing in Toronto.

haha i'm so glad he didnt get to Toronto.
I don't know why I don't really like him. He tried pretty hard always.
I just hate his name and his face.

Their top six is so good, this puts some decent talent on their third line...

...if he plays like Columbus/Edmonton Raffi Torres and not Buffalo Raffi Torres.

The problem is that their bottom six isn't as good as last years, so if one or more of the top six have injuries, there's going to be a problem.

Am I the only one who loves this signing for Vancouver?

No, I love this signing for them, too.

They just need to trade Bieksa now...

And they need some veteran leadership in the playoffs because the Sedins didn't do anything.

Why trade Bieksa? He's a mean as FUUUUCK defenseman who can put up 45-50 points.

The twins are the least of the problems up there. The fact that they decided their schizo goaltender should be their captain tells you all you need to know about that team.

He's $3.75M of cap that the Canucks will need to get rid of (or at least reduce during the year) if they want to make sure that they can at least add something at the trade deadline to help in the playoffs.

So he's big, mean, productive, can kick the shit out of people for under $4M...I think the Canucks ought to look elsewhere to trim the roster before moving someone as useful as Bieksa. IMO.

Well, let's see what happens when they play Chicago without Byfuglien. The only other high profile Western team who tried that approach is Detroit camping in front of the net.

They have trimmed the fat, Wellwood gone, Bernier gone, Demtria gona, Ohlund gone, Mitchell gone.

Pfft, the WC isn't relevant in anything. Their fans suck because they're all outside playing frisbee instead of being men.
