As mentioned earlier today, Cory Schneider will start this one and former Canuck Curtis Sanford will start for CBJ. Like Schneider, Sanford is on a role (not as great of a role, but has taken the #1 spot away), having starting 6 straight games and going 3-1-2 in the process. You think Vancouver has goalie "issues"? Columbus has goalie ISSUES. Steve Mason is under the gun right now, and Sanford's play is making fans squeeze the trigger a little harder. Check out
2 posts from The Cannon to get acquainted with these issues:
-Steve Mason: Is There A Road Back?
-Following Sanford, The Jackets' Defence Improves.
Yes, THOSE are goaltending issues when Curtis Sanford is blowing your mind and your #1 is Doris FUNKasaurus.
However, the BJ's have only allowed 9 goals in their last 6 games. 11 if I include shootout goals which I won't. They seem to be getting back to basics defensively and it's paying off.
But now they embark on a 3 game Western Canada road trip. They are 1-7-2 on the road this season. And it all starts with a red-hot Canucks team that seems to have almost everything going right for them right now. Once again, they blocked a lot of shots in their last win. The 5 on 5 is clicking. The collective team D is much improved. They are doing what it takes to win. Consistently. Finally. The initial thought is that they may take Columbus lightly. That had better not be the case.

what would they offer
It’s not like they have a lot of depth
by Canuckelhead on Nov 29, 2011 8:18 AM PST via iPhone app up reply actions
I wonder if they would get "face value"
for Ryan. I doubt it. The Hawks could trade them youth (Frolik and a pick) and can handle the extra salary. But I am sure you are right and Anaheim will look something they feel is “equal” to Ryan.
Enjoying .500 hockey this year.
I'm sure the Ducks would stick much closer to "perceived value"
for a team in the Western Conference. I doubt Frolik+pick does it.
Work hard, play harder, rest easy.
I agree but....
why put Ryan on the market….why not Getzlef or Perry. All three of them have not performed. (-23 between them) They won’t get much for Ryan at his cap number. If they really want to move him it will be for youth or draft picks.
Enjoying .500 hockey this year.
I think this whole Bobby Ryan thing is BS. He’s not going anywhere. Coach gets turfed first

Jeez
How good would he look with the sedins? Or anywhere for that matter, he’s exactly the kind of player we need. Unfortunately, unless they want Booth I don’t see him coming here.

Pick. Or something

Don't see us getting him without us bleeding
Ryan and Parros for Ballard and Raymond
You'll have to give up a lot more

With Canucks alumni
Harold Snepts, Dave Babych, John Garret and current Canuck Aaron Rome, there is an outstanding history of fine and interesting moustaches in the Canucks organization. George Parros’ moustache, you are the Seventh Canuck!
I’m not ashamed to say I shed a tear just thinking about it.
I don't know
Ryan is a good player but how much of his production is solely from playing with Getzlaf and Perry. I’m still hesitant to give up Hodgson and I like the way Booth has started to play the last few games.
4-1
