WTF is with the 'Yotes? Are they trying to become the Rangers and Laffs of the West and acquire as many players as they can before offseason ends. Now this team has Hull, Comrie AND Nedved. Great looking team on paper, not so sure it will work in the dressing room.
From the Flames side Langkow won't hurt them, though I'm not so sure he's the kind of centre who can play with Iggy. Nor do I like who they had to give up (but they were already stacked on D)

Great, one of our best D-men and an up and coming forward, dammit I'll respectfully disagree. Gauts had a bad habit of being a liability at the most inopportune time. Saprykin on the other hand will be missed, but Sutter's a smart man, Langkow will fit in the dressing room. He's damn expensive though. But you get what you pay for... most of the time. This better work or he'll be gone soon. Because he's only on a one year deal, you KNOW he'll work his butt off for a better deal next year. Something tells me that Sutter has more money than he's letting on about..... |

Regehr, Leopold, Gauthier/Warrener *shakes head* Gauts is a 5th or 6th best D on our team... That makes him expendable. Hell, Ference is better than him... cause Ference is still learning and not trying to be a goon. |

Gauthier is just slow, if he was faster he would put up more points. Plus he is a stay-at-home defenseman (the best kind if you ask me but you didnt) i dont know what else to say, im stuck  |

He IS slow, and as such should not be going out of position to hit someone. |

Such is the world of sport, you gotta give up something to get something that you need. Sutter thought we needed a center and gave up one guy from each of our 2 positions of strength, left wing and defence. I'm just crossing my fingers hoping that this works out.

Rhino's normally a LW, the 1st line will look something like this Rhino-Langkow-Iginla. Langkow and Iginla played on the same line at the WJC in 96 and they had some good chemistry so hopefully that'll happen again.
At worst we have something that the Canucks don't have. Two scoring lines.
