Report: Mitchell To Los Angeles
Hey, that's not the Eastern Conference man!

Thanks for some spectacular years and all the battles Willie.

Straight up: this sucks? pout
Willie has been one of my favourite Canucks during his time here and, I may take some heat for this, I think that if he had played out the rest of his career here he would have achieved near-Linden status in Vancouver (or at least in my head).
this is probably one of our best memories of him:

This is sad, crushing news,
but we all should have known it was a realistic possibility. He will be missed greatly. I wish him nothing but the best, and a healthy career moving forward. Que the Willy Mitchell fav stories, youtube videos, pictures thread.
Sorry to steal him guys, but we are pumped. This was really the only way to keep up with you guys (who I think are the best team in the Western Conference next year)

The last thing the Western Conference needs
is Drew Doughty learning from Willie.

You know that with the injuries and everything we’re going to be watching Bieksa all season, and scratching our heads. “Same money could have been for Mitchell.” I guess Gillis wanted a discount, and probably a one year contract. I understand Gillis, but I’m still going to scratch my head when those unnecessary penalties come.
Well, if so, yes. But I think it’s very likely we’ll need to move Bieksa. I’d put that a 90% likely right about now.
by Beantown Canuck on Aug 25, 2010 12:07 PM PDT up reply actions
GMs have no need to line up and help us out. Bieksa is either tough to move or Gillis is asking too much. Maybe both.

True. But if we need to move him, we need to move him. And as it stands right now, when Salo comes back, let alone Burrows, we will need to move him. Or do something else more drastic. There would have been no room for him otherwise.
by Beantown Canuck on Aug 25, 2010 12:11 PM PDT up reply actions
I think that’s the point though. Right now, there is no need to move him. Another team will have an injury that they could use a Bieksa type to fill by the time Salo is ready to come back (assuming, of course, that that day comes).
Gotta play 'em, might as well win 'em.

There is no need to move him for a crap return with any urgency. If all we can get back is crap, then we just need to wait until the last minute when the cap forces us to. But the moment someone offers us some quality, we should take it, assuming no other big-salary d-man is injured.

Perhaps. But other top teams still have to ice a competent top 4 D. I just think it cuts both ways. The anxiety for Canuck fans is that Gillis will have to take a lowball offer, but it’s not so clear cut.

But the other GMs are not in that position. At least not until December.
The Canucks are under with the LTIR of Salo and Burr. He can deal Bieksa from a position of strength right now.
From what I remember reading over the last few weeks, the Kings were the only ones to offer 2 years. For the money he got, the other teams were not really in, were they?
SJS, VAN & WAS may have gone the incentive-laced route. Kings have money to burn, maybe ignored the health factor (focused more on the mentor Doughty route?) and LA is close enough he may not need to uproot the family from BC.

I still don’t understand why they’re paying Poni more money than Frolov took from the Rangers. I find that baffling. Some real bridges must have been burned because I see that as a slight downgrade.

Yeah I think Frolov was done with them. Whether or not that was deserved I’m not too sure.

Frolov was an enigma wrapped in Tolstoy wrapped in a vest.
An vest with a crazy fucking grin on his face at the most awkward times.
The current FO’s desired style and his just didn’t mesh and if Murray is going to be coach (which is likely for the forseeable couple of years you’d think) Frolov wasn’t long for the team. Dude will be good in NY, possibly great. It’s all about the coaching style and personality.
The Poni contract is rather a mystery to me. I don’t hear fantastic things from the East about his play, but then Modin was supposed to suck too and he was pretty solid, so we’ll see.

Honestly, after how long it took for Mitchell to come back I’d be happier with Bieksa. Everyone seems to rag on him because of that one play but other than some freak skate lacerations he’s been pretty dependable on the blueline. Mitchell could be 1 more concussion away from hanging up the skates for good and that could happen on any hit. A 2 year deal is pretty risky.
Oh yes, no chance we could have offered anything near that.

That is a lot of money. Good for Willie. I’d call that an extremely risky deal for the Kings.

Haha section, down to name calling and personal attacks? That’s pretty sad. Basically my post is word for word based on your previous posts, other than the down to 7 healthy players still being champions haha. I’m “Dumb and Delusional” for believing that an injury impacts a players performance. OK. I must be out of my mind craaaazzzy. Thanks for setting me straight!
See this is the problem
other than you being an idiot which was just a joke until this last post. I never said injuries aren’t a factor. But they are a very small factor. And they aren’t a factor in who wins and loses games. The players on the ice decide who wins and loses. And the best teams, as I said yesterday, cope with injuries and players playing hurt better than other teams and that’s what leads to championships. I also said they cope better through depth, determination, a combination of both and other factors. Which leads to the bottom line statement that the best team wins and if the Nucks lost to the Hawks it was cause the Hawks were a better team. Claiming we would have won were it not for injuries is making excuses. You have to get the job done with the players on the ice. This is a pretty basic tenant of sports that coaches should have taught you when you were about 5 years old. Although judging from some of your posts maybe you are going to learn that next year.
You want to whine,thanks Twitchy, and cry about injuries and make other excuses and talk about what might have been. Go ahead. But that tells me you are the kind of person who will just get by in life. It shows me you don’t have the fortitude to look in the mirror and really assess yourself and make changes. Just like you don’t have the fortitude to look at the Nucks and see their short comings and what REALLY cost them in last year’s payoffs. Good thing our GM seems to be able to do it. Hence the changes he has made for this up coming season.
It’s funny that everyone else got the tongue in cheekness of that post but you didn’t. Could it be cause you are D and &D?
Now go away. You have been weighed, measured and you have been found wanting.

Seriously, I didn’t know Bieksa sucked until i joined up here. I well and truly believe his injuries are behind him, and we’re going to get the pre-big money Bieksa.Unfortunately, that big money dictates that he’ll be moved at some point this season.

forget the niceties...we're talking d-men here
what happens if sammy has finally had the injury he can’t bounce back from…does his cap hit miraculously disappear…what if juice has a whale of a season…we move him to free up cap space…d-men are the liquid gold in the new nhl…look how much we are shitting the bed over willie in california…damn…he’s gonna haunt us…can you feel the sick in the guts stab
in 82 curt fraser lead the playoffs in fight minutes plus chipped in 10 pts. in 17 gms
If Sammy is gone for the year, or for good, he would probably have his salary on LTIR, and it would only be moer $$$ that Big Frank paid out.
Totally agree that there is no eral downside on Juice unless he totally shits the bed and has a horrible season.
Honestly? having him in a 3rd pairing is not that bad at all. can shield him a bit, work the matchup.
Willie in Cali? meh. I don’t want to think about it.

But still, injuries impact teams. A whole variety of inputs impact teams. To say that injuries isn’t one of them is just silly. To overly rely on injures as an explanation is just making excuses. The truth lies in the middle.

Well obviously that's true
it’s also true that healthy or not the Hawks were better than us and would most likely have won that series anyway. And so saying injuries was why we lost is an excuse.
Now let’s go back to robbing the Kings system of all it’s talent.

Yeah, yeah I know. I’m not saying that they would have won, or that they can use his absence as an excuse. Just would’ve helped steady the blueline a bit, that’s all. And given the way the Hawks series went a steadier blueline wouldn’t have been a bad thing.

LA was "will"ing (ahem)...
…to take the risk. If it pay off for them, then good for them and good for Willie. But that’s not a number or duration I would have been comfortable guaranteeing him, whether Vancouver had the cap space or not.
Great move for the Kings. They should be really excited to have added an elite defenseman like Willie.
In spite of whatever we Canucks fan hope for (such as he will get re-injured), I think he will have a rejuvenated career with the Kings and will do great against the Canucks. But I don’t blame Gillis for this, he simply didn’t have the money to match the offer. The $3.5 is a lot of money and too risky. The Kings, however, could easily afford it.
Bottom line, the Canucks got better this year, and so did the Kings. They should be a great match up this season, and good subject for future debates.

Since I live in L.A., this will make me go more often to Kings games and cheer for Willie.
I also would like to purchase a Canucks jersey with Mitchell on it, and wear it at Kings games. I imagine that those jerseys sell at discount rigt now.

Fresh wather fishing is awful, unless you drive 6 hours north, to the Sierras.
But ocean fishing (which I don’t care about), is pretty decent.
Oh, and ice fishing sucks over here as well…I’m afraid Willie will have to take up surfing.
Los Angeles, CA
Just a thought. Maybe there is a post in it or not.
A question for the masses though.
With Willie gone, can the Canucks “coach up” OBrien to be our shutdown guy in training?
Its way behind Ehrhoff’s +36, but he was +15 with virtually no points all year.
Just sayin’.
You’re really only left with guys like Edler, SOB and Alberts.
I just depressed myself.

The only way Bernier gets a hatty against the Canucks is if I knock on his press box door and give him a mesh trucker cap with the ‘HOOTERS’ logo on it.
And then SOB will take it from him anyway. Only Bernier could LOSE a hat trick.

Willie wasn’t a company man…never got on with Viggy (especially when Viggy would call him out in the press)…and I think he blew his chances of staying when he shot his mouth off (read: told the truth) about hits to the head in the league, etc., after the season ended.
And for all of the above, I had a huge amount of respect for Willie…gonna miss him
Holle Effin Hell. NBC just does not get hockey. I guess I can understand their sked with all the east teams from a TV exec point of view.
But the Minnesoat Wild are on their sked 4 times! The Hawks are 5 for comparison, and the Kings twice!
Not one Cdn team, and as Puck Daddy points out, they could have Ovie or Sid every weekend.

He kept saying LA was “genuinely excited to have him there”
And we weren’t?? Damn it. This is a very tricky situation. I’d take Mitchell over Ballard or Hamhuis but the concussion issues remain. A 2 year 3.5 million deal is tough to turn down. No way in hell we could afford that with the new signings. Willie gets it though. A cap casualty.
This is so OUR LOSS. Fuck. But if he gets hit again and pulls a Lindros well…….
