PrintWhat the Niedermayer's agent said to Team 1040:
-Bro's have not talked at length about their plans on going in free agency
-possiblity of them coming here: agent doesn't know where the Canucks are financially
-not sure if Scott is going to play.
-agent sure he'll have a conversation with Vancouver
-Niedermayers have said in the past that they (in the past) that they have expressed desire to play in Vancouver, their home province, or in Canada NEAR their home town.
-Vancouver hosting the Olympics is a big thing for Scott.
-The brothers playing together isn't the "be all end all". They can be separated and play on different teams since they have already won a Cup together.
-Scott Niedermayer will make a decision on his playing future before July 1 to help out Ducks GM Bob Murray.
-In the past, the agent had talked to Steve Tambellini at length about signing here. Now the Canucks' personnel up top is completely different.
-It's a definite possibility that a Niedermayer could sign here.
So, take it for what it's worth. Don't expect this rumor to go away over the next month. It's actually about to gain momentum.
Finally, some Canucks bullshit to talk about.

Niedermayer actually talked about his interest in Vancouver in End of Season Interview. It’s posted on the official Ducks NHL homepage.
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
to specify..
playing in Vancouver for Team Canada.
It gets really tiring listening to him throw out the same cliches that Sundin mentioned when he was undecided about playing again. Ah well, we’ll see about this as time goes by. At least it’s somewhat of a distraction to the playoff disappointment.

You want Scott, you don’t want Rob, he’s a lazy bastard. Its amazing he went 5th overall skating on his brother’s name.
yeah i don’t really know what we’d do with rob

I know what we’d do: SKIP HIM!
Overpriced. He scored 14 goals last season in a contract year, which was a bit of an overachievement, and he was getting paid $2 million. Forget about it!

Then again...doesn't this just make you feel all fuzzy inside?
Piss on it. I hope Gillis can lure Scott here, but right now it’s a bunch of bullshit drummed up by 2 radio hosts who are looking for attention.
