Matrix XII Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 You read my mind. Both have seen their good years pass. Definitely, but they can still score around 70 points, which is valuable.

+shift. MVC Posted July 11, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'd rather have Demitra, not that I'm not a Naslund fan or anything. But Naslund staying here would have been both detrimental to the team and to the player himself. Demitra WANTED to be here, while Naslund on the other hand didn't really seem like it. And especially when paired on the supposed line of Wellwood and Raymond I think they'll make a pretty good 2nd line. I'm making the assumption that Sundin will NOT sign ;) @ Fred Derf IMO Toronto WON'T get anything done with their hockey team until they figure out what they're doing with management first.

rajputwarrior Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 props, you have demitra, too bad he has NO ONE to play with so it'll be next to useless. Not to mention that his stats are declining year after year. He played with gaborik last year and only put up decent numbers, what's he going to do in vancouver?

Fred Derf Veteran Posted July 11, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 11, 2008 @ Fred DerfIMO Toronto WON'T get anything done with their hockey team until they figure out what they're doing with management first. More than that, I think they need to lose and get some draft pics.

sn00pie Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 I think Sundin is crucial to success of Vancouver as a team. If he comes, watch out next season! :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/646810-nhlfree-agent-frenzy/page/2/#findComment-589548101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajputwarrior Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 sundin isn't going to be the x factor for the canucks, they may make the playoffs, but thats about it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/646810-nhlfree-agent-frenzy/page/2/#findComment-589548109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+shift. MVC Posted July 11, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 11, 2008 If you take a look at their line up now, its a HELL of a lot better with Sundin in it. They would actually have a 1A an 1B line.

Matrix XII Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yeah, if we got Sundin now, it'd definitely be good now that we have Demitra. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/646810-nhlfree-agent-frenzy/page/2/#findComment-589548607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn00pie Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 I think Sundin would be a huge factor. This would be a deadly 1-2 punch for the Canucks. But I don't know if splitting up Raymond, Kesler and Burrows is a good idea considering they had some good chemistry at the end of the last season. D. Sedin - Sundin - H.

Matrix XII Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I agree, that would be a good top 2 lines, and we still have Burrows :D We have a good defence, if they can stay healthy (Salo will be injured at some point this season ;)) haha Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/646810-nhlfree-agent-frenzy/page/2/#findComment-589548618 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+shift. MVC Posted July 11, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 11, 2008 I think Bernier was brought in to play with the Sedin's anyway. So IMO it would look more like the following: 1A - Sedin Sedin Bernier 1B - Demitra Sundin Raymond (assuming we get Sundin) OR 1B - Demitra Wellwood Raymond (assuming we don't get Sundin) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/646810-nhlfree-agent-frenzy/page/2/#findComment-589548647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schultzy Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Which team has had the best signing? I am bias, but I think Detroit signing Hossa was the best. They were scary enough without him, but with him?! :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/646810-nhlfree-agent-frenzy/page/2/#findComment-589575073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajputwarrior Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 oh yeah, hossa signing was the biggest for sure, and they got him for relatively cheap...

Matrix XII Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hossa isn't much of a leader, he'll do well in Detroit though, he'll have so many good passers :| Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/646810-nhlfree-agent-frenzy/page/2/#findComment-589575876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+shift. MVC Posted July 23, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 23, 2008 Speaking of which Leafs have Joe Nieuwendyk as Assistant GM (I think that's what TSN said) behind Fletcher. Sundin reportedly supposed to make a decision by August 1st. Excited about his annoucement (regardless of who he signs with) but at the same time I've become somewhat desensitized towards the whole situation.

sn00pie Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Circle your calenders because August 1st is the date Sundin will decide on his future!
