I can't say I like these...

Either go with the old uniform or the new one - don't has together a 'new uniform' out of two old ones. The first uniform and the last one are both better than this. Now the value and uniqueness of the first uniform has been devalued forever. And what's with the new stylized hockey stick in rink shoulder patch. For shame on the Canucks spending $1 million on this wasted exercise.

I have bought previous uniforms including both home and away of the last version. I will not buy this new uniform.

The Vancouver Canucks are sporting a new look: one of frugality and caution.

There was one over-arching need for the Vancouver Canucks this off-season – sign an offensive center man. This goal has not only been ignored, it’s been blatantly passed-over as the Canucks have contained their focus to role players and minor leaguers.

To date, the Canucks GM Dave Nonis has acquired the following new players:

G         Curtis Sanford              $600,000                     0 goals (2007)

G         Corey Schneider          $924,000 (2-way)        0 goals (2007)

LW      Brad Isbister                $525,000                     1 goal (2007)

C/W     Byron Ritchie              $625,000                     8 goals (2007)

W        Ryan Shannon              $550,000                     2 goals (2007)

D         Aaron Miller                $1,250,000                  0 goals (2007)

D         Zack Fitzgerald            $450,000                     0 goals (2007)

Wow. What an offensive output. What seven players, one center, no offensive center, and a grand total of 11 goals scored last year (divided by 7 players = 1.6 goals per player last year).

The Canucks will really challenge for the Cup this year.

Meanwhile, our top offensive player from last year’s playoffs, C/W Trevor Linden, and the most popular player in the history of the franchise – and one of the hardest working – remains ignored and unsigned.

Let’s rejoice with the acquisition of a new cadre sporting a 1.6 goals per player average… Nonis hasn’t delivered this kind of hope and hand-wringing since acquiring Keith Carney, Eric Weinrich, Sean Brown and Mikka Noranen.
