The Armchair Knows Best ...

  Holy heck is there ever a lot of armchair GMs during trade time. It seems everyone and their dog has insight as to what Mike Gillis should be doing, who he should be re-signing, for how much and for how long. I admit, there are a few guys I am anxious to get re-signed and one or two guys I would be okay losing, but when it comes down to it, we are all just fans, not NHL General Managers and probably don't have the insight or knowhow to do what MG does.
   The Province 24/7 Canucks chat and the world of Twitter have an abundance of opinions .. some that make sense and some that seem to come from way left field;).
    Since I won't be doing any heated opinionated armchair GMing in my blogworld,  I thought I would share some of the trade talk, silliness, and opinions that I see floating around out there. ( all in good fun of course ) 

~News 1130 saying no contact from the Canucks to Glass! YESSSSSS. Though this doesn't state if they count love letters from AV as contact. -  ( TheStanchion Twitter)

~ Offer Richards a 100 year 100 mil contract, front loaded . by Ryan (In response to another chatter asking if the Canucks could sign Richards )  - (Province Chat) =))

~ I can't make any sense of the Bieksa contract structure. I've been starting at that one tweet for 5 minutes straight now. -  ( Cam Twitter )

~ It was obvious the Samuelsson was 'playing hurt' for much of the season but he 'played through it' and was therefor ineffective and ultimately out for the playoffs. He should have had surgery mid season and might have been back for the playoffs - by BuzMeg  ( Province chat)

~ If Gillis wants depth on forwards with current situation... then Hodgson at 1.6 has to be in the mix - by JohnnyNuck82  (Province chat)

~ Kesler needs a combo of grit and speed along with someone who can score with a single touch and fast release -  by NCF (Province chat)
