Desbiens Re-Assigned To Moose

Still I see it as not necessary. There only needs to be waivers in one direction – up or down – in order to prevent a team from simply stocking their farm team with valuable assets in case of injury or desire to change players due to poor play. Having waivers in only one direction gives all teams a shot to take those players away. Having them in both directions makes it impossible for one-way contract players to be called up in the event they are needed, because if they get taken away by another team not only do you not get their services when you needed them in your lineup, you also are on the hook for half their salary-cap hit. I think this needs to be changed. Luko is doomed to minors or a trade.

No prob. For the info of your tech team: I made a copy of your page, and added a “base” tag to the html header so that I could just pul up the copy in mybrowser and get the same results as by surfing to your site. This way I could try removing various portions of the html to see which one led to the offending ad.

The offending ad appears to be triggered via a scipt, cuz I got rid of it by deleting the code in the div with an id=“local-ads”. From that I determined that “ad.sbnation.com” was the immediate culprit.

And like I said, this same ad pops up on other sites, much to my chagrin. I really don’t know why the ad agencies bother to present it when it’s so ill-behaved and counter-productive. Lazy buggers, I guess. Me, I’d drop the ad till its authors fixed it and rotate some other ad in its place.

More to the point, I think, is whether or not Shirok is getting his points by playing a North American style.

We already know he can score with his old habits against weaker opposition but that he was caught off-guard when the level of play against him rose in the regular season. If he just racks up the points playing as he did before, then nothing’s changed and he’ll remain a minor-league sensation, but if he’s doing it while adapting his game, then we’ll soon see him back with the big club!

I really hope it’s Shirokov or Grabner. So far, we’ve replaced Demitra with Shirokov, then Shirokov with Glass, and then Daniel with Desbiens. That’s basically replacing 2 offensive guys with grinders. This team does not have the offensive firepower to do that and still score.

That may be, but don’t tell that to Dallas!
Why does Grabner seem like a fail to me? I don’t know if he has won Canucks management’s favor after a lousy preseason. This guy is pushing career AHL’er at this point if he doesn’t step up. I think it’s more between Shirokov and Desbiens right now, but that is just my opinion.

Or even Baumgartner I suppose. Lots of wonderfully mediocre options.

Nycholat is injured and McIver was a healthy scratch in the last game. Though Oberg isn’t much better then McIver he at least had AV’s eye in camp. Funk has four points in four games (insert funk joke here).

Team 1040 reported that the canucks plan on not calling anyone up because schneids could be good to go in 5 games, and they will go with rome and just have no d-men sitting in the press box unless there are more injuries (knock on wood). They still need to call up a forward, of course, since Desbiens was sent down.
