Bieksa agrees to 3-year extensionThe Vancouver Canucks signed defenceman Kevin Bieksa to a US$11.25-million, three-year contract extension Monday. The Vancouver Canucks continue to bolster their blue line as they announced the signing of unrestricted free-agent Aaron Miller. It is a 1-year contract worth $1.5 million.

hmm something must be up with there d. good job on resigning Bieksa but Millers signing has me wondering if the Ohlund rumours are true. Ohlund,Salo, Mitchell, Bieksa, Miller, Kraijchek, Edler, Bourdon, seems kinda crowded. or maybe Miller was to good of a bargain to pass up and depth is a good thing. deffinatly cant say that about there forwards though.

I've been busy through the summer...mostly drinking myself too stupid to read the forum.Looks like I haven't missed much though. The Nucks are soooo quiet.Part of me wants to give most of the group another chance though. Prior to losing to the Stanley Cup champions the Nucks were scoring fine in 2007 and when they didn't put up a lot of goals they had a strong defense and Lui to get the Ws. I'd like to watch another year without major changes and see if Nassy can be all that he can be. If he's on a separate line from the twins and does well it'll be hard for opposing teams to shut down two big lines.I don't mind landing a cool forward but I don't think it's all doom and gloom otherwise.

apparently Linden is gonna sign a 1year 750k deal next week(according to Eklund so take it with a grain of salt). i was starting to worry about the situation because of Nonis being non-commital when discussing his future with the team. I sure hope they have a deal up there sleaves to get some scoring to contend because I have never wanted to see a guy get a cup more than Linden and his window of oppurtunity is quickly slamming shut.also it looks like Forsberg will not consider Vancouver for next season :club:

New jersey unveiled tomorrow(?)I'm excited. Vintage colors will be nice I just wish we would get rid of the damn orca. Bring back the flying skate!

No official jersey has been released yet. It has been widely speculated that the Canucks will go with the blue jersey and Orca, but considering the negative backlash that has received, it isn't beyond reason that something else might surface.

Bump. 2 months without a post in this thread. I was pumped for hockey at the end of last season but right now I am having a hard time getting back into the NHL. that will probally change next week. If Luongo cant play 70 games this year we are in trouble! There D is deffinatly above average, but if they consider Isbister and Ritchie a signifigant upgrade to the front end they are mistaken. Prediction 3rd in division(behind Calgary and Colarado) and 8th in the confrence. we will have to wait till the 15 mill in space opens next year to see any signifigant upgrade to there scoring.1. San Jose2.Detroit3. Colarado4. Anaheim5. Dallas6. Calgary7. Nashville/St. Louis(still on the fence there)8. CanucksCanucks leaders.Goals: D. SedinAssists: H. Sedin+/- W. MitchellMost improved: KeslerMVP: duh

hmm...I have a feeling Nassy will be back on top of team scoring. he didn't have a great season last year and whether he plays with the twins or Mo I'd be surprised to see another lackluster season. if it happens again I don't see Naslund in a Nucks jersey for 2008-2009. Same for Mo.

Im thinking Kesler is gonna have a big year and hopefully Nazzy can gain back his scoring touch. Cant wait for the 5th, and Im so glad that Shaw has NHL Centre Ice now, I can finally watch most of the games :DLuongo also has a new mask, colors dont quite match the jersey(the light blue part) but it's still nicehttp://canucks.nhl.com/team/app/?service=p...;galleryId=2643

Raymond and Shannon both made the cut, as did Mciver. Good to see the Canucks give Mciver a shot, even if it is just while everyone gets healthy. I can't wait till Friday! I wish I was still in Vancouver, I miss my tickets already.

Mciver just got sent down and the Canucks have claimed Mike Weaver off of waivers. Don't know that much about him, but apperently the Canucks made an offer to him in the summer, but he chose Pittsburgh. He has NHL experience, which is good. Anyone know more about him?
