Calgary made there moves and acquired Brad Stuart, Craig Conroy, Wayne Primeau. As soon as Cow-town heard that Conroy was back, it just didn't stop. Conroy this and conroy that... I have to say the Flames look better on paper. But hey Conroy & Co. haven't made that road record any better.
Why do I bring this up... Well I'm not coming here to brag about the new picks ups that the Canucks traded today, but comment on how Dave Nonis traded away some picks and not our future. Bryan Smolinski (14g- 23a - 37pts +10) 2 way center, Brent Sopel (4g- 19a- 23pts +2) Great point shot, top 4 dman. What did we give up: 2007 Conditional Pick for Smoke & Cond. 2nd rounder 2008 and a 4th rounder. Yah those picks could of been future picks, but Nonis didn't give away any future prospects ie. Boudon or Scheinder. But we got some great team players and Smoke will help Naslund pot more goals and will be great experience guy come playoff time and Sopes will give us a huge body and great point shot on the PP. I'm not crying out loud STANLEY CUP, but I am saying that Nonis did a great job not giving away too much like other GMS did over the last week.
Personally I'm really excited to see both these guys in Canuck colors and see the NUCKS continue to work hard to keep that pts lead on those crazy Wild, and very dangerous Flames (at home/prove me wrong lames fans).
Something I just heard on TEAM 1040: Jovonoski is out for the rest of the season, Cloutier has been out and will stay out, Bertuzzi is skating now but hasn't played much for the Panthers and looks to get traded out... Plus Crawford hasn't done much in LA..
Looks like the goalie graveyard curse is gone and the another curse has began...
