NHL Rental Players

[popcola]

I am a loyal Canucks fan and believe me, it takes a lot of faith and patience to be one. But whatever Nonis does or doesn't do, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF ALL YOU GUYS WILL BE SATISFIED!!! The only way every single one of you will be satisfied is if the Canucks win the Stanley Cup. If not, every one of you will have their opinion of what went wrong and why we didnt win the Cup. Its sooo easy to give your opinion about things AFTER its happened (ex. when a team doesnt make the playoffs or gets knocked out in the playoffs). Give me a break. Enough of all this bs. Just cheer for your team and hope for the best!

ps...But then again, we ARE a hockey town so i guess thats why everyone knows how to be a GM in the NHL.

Given ROA, couldn't we just consider "rental" players the male version of a SP - after all, they all receive fees for services rendered, and the degree and quallity of satisfaction received for services rendered is variable - ymmv - what a concept, eh.

Is this not the whole concept-or do do we cheer to be second place.

No we are not, mostly bandwagonners, with an interspersing of hardcore fans.

You're correct but like Koltsov and Chubarov, they can still deal his rights. Pretty attractive for teams to get assets but not have to take on salary for the rest of the year.

I believe Noranen cannot play in the NHL because of his contract. I believe he's also a free agent next year, so why would anyone trade for him if he can't play for them this year and they can have him for free in the summer?
.....but i could be wrong, that's quite possible.

Big Bert

Bertuzzi doesn't like the front of the net anymore.....remember last year??

The only way that would work if is he is up for a new contract!!

The most frustrating thing for me last year was watching Bert drag his under achieving ass around the ice.

And then watch everyone baby him in the media.

@ $20 000 a shift it would have been nice to see him be effective.

I am sure he will do well in his career, just not here and most likely not in Florida.
