By Greg Wyshynski • Defenseman Mattias Ohlund's days with the Vancouver Canucks could be numbered, especially if he's asking for $6-8 million a season. Because the Canucks need cap room to offer another $20 million to the next Swedish veteran C-tease that wastes their time. [Waiting for Stanley]

By zanstorm13@yahoo.ca (Sean Zandberg) 2. Curtis Sanford. It's not that difficult to back up Roberto Luongo. Your main job is patting Luongo on the back after the game. Anything more than 10 or 15 games and the Canucks have serious issues. THN projection: 5 wins, a 2.77 GAA, a .903 save percentage and no shutouts.

OK, nothing scary for other teams to play agains. Dmen: To Vancouver: Canucks don’t need a goalie of the future, and we get a good dman, and a young fwd who can score 20+ To NYR: To Van: To Vancouver: Canucks get yet another scorer Pyatt – Kesler – Burrows

By Zanstorm There are questions arising (again) about the Canucks' ability to score after last night's game. But I'm not really biting. Rick Dipietro, the games' first star, really was that good. Like John Garrett said last night, he could have been all 3 stars.

By Zanstorm What a great game. Instead of the usual 2-1 score that we are accustomed to between Dallas and Vancouver, we got to see a few more goals in a great matchup. Vancouver weathered a 1st period Dallas storm, being outshot 11-6 and purely outclassed by the Stars, who wanted to finish us off early. Luo...
