There was an article on TSN about JR wanting to play in Canada at a big discount and finish his career off on a strong note.

I say the Canucks should sign him to a 1 yr deal for $1 mil (like the Avs did a couple of seasons ago with Kariya and Selanne) but hopefully with better results. Roenick might even show up to camp in the best shape of his life...remember, he's the same age as Brind'amour and the Canes just inked Roddy to a 5 yr deal.

At the very least, wouldn't he be an upgrade over Linden on the 3rd line??

but he's a shit-head influence and didn't we just trade shit-head #1 to the Panthers???

don't need another one at any price ... well, maybe if JR is willing to PAY the nucks to let him play ...

Nothing against Roenick but I hope they do send him to toronto. I was a Leafs fan growing up and have slowly over the years lost the appeal. It was solidified when they signed Lindros, toronto no more. I cheer more for teh habs these days, and I am sure my grandparents would be turning in their graves if they knew that.

This signing would equal the signing of Messier. I loved Messier as a talent, but not as a person. The same with Roenick. He's not the type of guy that the Canucks have recently tried to have in the locker room (ie. Nice guy).

they need someone with a winning attitude and JR ain't it ...

Messier was just a bully with the occasional flash of talent
that didn't add up to shit for any team after 1994.

I'd still like to see someone like Mike Peca play for the nucks ...

Didn't Roenick lead the the Hawks to the stanley cup finals a couple of times in his early twenties? He also led Philly to the conference finals in 2003-2004, missed a couple of games against the Bolts due to a concussion and came back in game 6 while playing hurt? I say get rid of Linden and replace him with Roenick. Linden's never really been much of a scorer, but at least Roenick has the potential to be the 'Teemu Selanne' of 2006-2007. Grab him cheap and if he proves to be a disruptive presence, they can always buy him out like the Devils did with Mogilny.

As far as I know, JR is a heart and soul type of player, a marketable leader and he'd give the Nucks a bit of locker room and media identity. Don't you think every post game interview sounds roughly the same with Naslund, Ohlund, et al??? Shit, even Carter the soul brotha sounds like all the rest.

A little Yankee influence amongst a group of non-outspoken swedes and Canadians can't hurt can it?? :D

JR himself said that he doesn't want a $2 or 3 mil/yr deal. That means he's willing to play for alot less maybe $1 mil plus performance bonuses..he's motivated which is a good sign.

Wouldn't be hard for the canucks to make such a deal since we have Luongo as a huge drawing card plus Vancouver's the mildest (weather-wise) CAnadian NHL city

the Canucks can sign him to a 2 way deal, they can always send him down to the Moose without first clearing waivers & it doesn't count against the cap

Maybe we should Cloutier play some games and if he does well, we get more out of a trade. Eventually some team will have an injury to a goalie.

it won't help ... teams know how he CAN play when its the regular season, but know he's going to get injured eventually and tank in the playoffs ...

with Auld gone, Clouts will either go to the moose until a team needs a goalie or the nucks will now trade Luongo for something to put in front of Clouts ...

It sounds like the Sedins got more that 3million each, somewhere closer to 3.25 - 3.5 each. Their agent was on the radio and was asked if the deal was similar to the Jonathan Cheechoo contract (3 mil) and he said it was higher than Cheechoo's but that Cheechoo signed his deal in the middle of the season last year, before he had finished off his remarkable year of 56 goals. Poor bastard, if he had waited he probably could have gotten 4 or 4.5.
