THe latest buzz I am hearing is M Schiender to the Canucks is a strong possibility. Eklund must have heard similer, however he is a little more optimistic then myself. If Gillis is to make this move, I wouldn't mind seeing him pick up a A Ference type guy as well. However even if this deal does happen I do believe Gillis has a trade up his sleeve. What would Hamhuis cost. He is a ufa at seasons end and Nashville probably won't resign him. Does O'Brien, Raymond and a 3rd get it done? Maybe. I also see Sundin coming back to van if he returns even if it means cutting Demo

Niskanan, and Ranger to canucks? If not that Campoli?

You read my last blog about Ranger nad Niskanan as possible canuck pick ups. If that doesn't work try this

Campoli for Raymond and 5th
Vlasic for Hansen and a 2nd
Smid for a 2nd
Enstrom for Raymond
Hodgson (I know) for Ryan Suter
Barker for Schiender and a 2nd

Who should the Canucks add to their blueline?

Well guys who in your opinion should the Canucks aquirre to fill their gaping hole on the blueline? Well it would be nice to get a guy like Weber or Pronger it just can't work. We don't have cap space and are unwilling to give up so many assets (at least we better be) Kaberle would be a nice fit as long as Burke cuts his asking price in half. Any deal involving, Kesler, Hodgson, Edler or Bieksa is a no go in my opinion and I'm sure Gillis won't do it. If they would be willing to accept Raymond and Schiender/or first rd pick then do it.
I for one am a huge fan of a couple guys who could be had for a bargain price. Now keep in mind MG always boasts youth and skill. The guy who i really like is Matt Niskanan in Dallas. Good solid hitter who skates well and has a heavy shot. The other guy who I really like to a lesser degree in Paul Ranger in Tampa. I believe either of these guys could be had for say Mason Raymond and a 4th rounder. However what are the Chances we can get both? Trade Salo to Tampa for Ranger (I know he has a no trade clause but with Ohlund, and Kraijcek already there and a exciting team he just might wave it. Tampa needs at least one more vetern top 4 d man as the r very young. Then u deal Raymond and a 4th for Niskanan. Finally we should have enough money and sign Tanguay at aroung 2.5-3mill (just one yr if possible)

Schiender (if Luongo signs deal Cory, Demitra, and a 2nd to blues for Backes (I think that is close may have to turn the 2nd into a 1st) and forget signing Tanguay) Backes Kess Grabner (me likey)
