I agree that there didn’t ‘seem’ to be a ‘better’ alternative… but wouldn’t you think at some point…. with SOOOO many combinations of players, goalies…. he would take a TOP league talented team to Stanley Cup Victory? Once? He’s had the pieces a number of different years.

Trade Luongo… yes I see that… but there are lots of ‘playoff no-shows’ on that roster. Some of them are BIG money supposed superstars.

I post my comment while shaking my head.

I’ve wanted to believe in the Canucks… they just don’t give us much reason past Pres Trophy..

I bet both he and Gillis got 2 year extensions, making them under contract for 3 years.

You’re probably right about the term.

I’m guessing it’s a two-year deal meaning he’d be signed for three more years…

It baffles me. Maybe the extensions are longer than we might expect? Shorter?

AV’s not perfect, but there weren’t better options available. Good move. Now just have to trade the rights to Raymond (Mr. Perimeter), sign Justin Schultz, sign some “size that can play (Asham, Prust, Moen, etc…)” and trade Luongo…
