We have replaced a tired and slow Ohlund for a younger, quicker puck handling Ehrhoff. We have replaced a tired and slow Sundin for a younger, stronger, faster Samuelsson. Throw in a Grabner/Hodgeson/Shirokov combination, any one of which may make the team, and you know the talent level on the Canucks has improved significantly - at no real cost to the team's future. Gillis is doing a great job! Not sure if we have the cap space for a Heatley because to sign him we would have to trade some big $$ players and unless it involves Demetra, I don't want to mess with the team chemistry that much. You may think Heater is a character guy but asking to leave Atlanta after they stuck with him through his first crisis and now pouting because he feels the coach isn't using him as he would like in Ottawa - that's not character - that's a selfish, immature little boy.
