Canucks Free Agency Thrills, in summary—
Negatives:
- The Canucks lay their bets on Backes. That didn’t work out so well.
- Canucks throw $20,000,000 at Mats Sundin. But even that isn’t enough money to play for Vancouver these days
Positives:
- Those Maple Leafs and St. Louis Blues Reclamation Projects (if you’re into that sorta thing)
- And it turns out the Canucks do have a backup plan for losing Sundin…
...this is it:
Sweet geezus. There’s more at TSN, but do you care?
It’s noon here, and so cocktail hour shall commence.
And thank god for that. Matthew Sekeres’s assessment of Gillis at the Globe & Mail is best enjoyed while tipsy.

About Canucks and Beyond
Alanah McGinley has been blogging hockey since 2003 (with a notable gap in time through 2010, kicking it with new baby Lucy while living knee-deep in chaos while reading "parenting for complete idiots" during every spare minute) sharing opinions, rants and not-so-deep thoughts with anyone who will listen.
In addition to writing Canucks & Beyond and helping manage Kukla's Korner, Alanah was one of the founders and co-hosts of The Crazy Canucks Podcast. She has contributed pieces to FoxSports.com and the New York Times Slapshot blog, as well as other stray destinations in cyberspace.
So that's me. Who the hell are you?
