These actually make total sense under the Nonis regeime. With the exception of Luongo and Mitchell, he’s done nothing but find deals where he could (Carter, Pyatt, Bulis) and leave it to the coach to make it work. Of course now he has a Jack Adam’s coach in there so who better (in theory) to make these guys take the next step?
It’s not “sexy” but it makes total sense the way this team is run. Also, keep in mind next year it’ll be Vancouver’s turn to take a run at one of the top UFA’s by being cheap the past few seasons as well as the possibility of Naslund retiring.

Hmm, do the canucks really need a couple more bottom feeders? Does this mean that there is a trade in the works to dump salary and bring in a big name?
Ritchie is fast and Isbister is big…but neither one addresses the canucks scoring issue. Perhaps AV thinks he can whip these two guys into shape - especially underachieving Isbister. I just don’t get this?
